【聊了什么】
海昏侯是近十年内中国最知名的考古发现之一 。作为当代保存最完整的汉代高等级墓葬，海昏侯墓的发现，包括115公斤的黄金、珠宝玉石、青铜剑、孔子屏风、竹简等让它一度成为社会文化新闻的热点。在奇珍异宝背后，隐藏着墓主人刘贺跌宕的人生。他少年世袭昌邑王爵位，17岁仓促地被拥立为皇帝，短短27天后遭到罢黜，几经贬斥，最终以海昏侯的身份逝于江西南昌。在汉昭帝逝世后的权利真空期，他既被迫又主动地走入政治旋涡的中心，须臾间人生起伏辗转，成为了中国历史上首位被废的皇帝。
除了海量的财富外，刘贺的随葬品以何种方式呈现了这位汉哀帝的一生？实物材料为我们认识历史开启了怎样的新视角？考古学能否呈现出数据之外关于人的故事？在本次讲座中，曾两次参与发掘工作的耶鲁大学在读博士周琪将与我们分享这项重大考古发现背后的故事。我们将借用学术界“透物见人”的概念，透过海昏侯墓的发掘成果和刘贺的人生经历，一起探索考古、历史与人生的相互映照与隐喻。
The Haihunhou Tomb is one of the most renowned archaeological discoveries in China over the past decade. As the most well-preserved high-status Han dynasty tomb ever unearthed, its findings—including 115 kilograms of gold, exquisite jewelry and jade, bronze swords, a screen bearing an image of Confucius, and ancient bamboo slips—once captured the spotlight of Chinese cultural and social news. Behind the glittering artifacts lies the dramatic life story of Liu He, the tomb’s occupant. He inherited the title of Prince of Changyi at a young age and was hastily installed as emperor at the age of 17, only to be dethroned after just 27 days. After years of political disgrace, he died in Nanchang, Jiangxi, under the diminished title of “Marquis of Haihun.” In the political vacuum following Emperor Zhao’s death, Liu He was thrust—both by circumstance and ambition—into the eye of the storm. In mere moments, his life rose and fell, making him the first emperor in Chinese history to be formally deposed.
Beyond the vast wealth, how do Liu He’s burial goods reflect the arc of his tumultuous life? What new perspectives on history do these physical materials offer? Can archaeology reveal the human stories behind the data? In this talk, Zhou Qi—a PhD candidate at Yale University who has participated twice in the excavation—will share the stories behind this major archaeological discovery. Drawing on the academic concept of “seeing the person through the object,” we will explore how the findings from the Haihunhou Tomb and Liu He’s personal journey illuminate deeper metaphors about history, archaeology, and human existence.

【我们是谁 The Who】
选修课 Universus 是一档分享和探讨泛文化话题的中文播客，脱胎于2013年创办的纽约文化沙龙。 我们力求引发对学科方法和视角的认知和思考，而不仅仅是知识的传递。我们在组织活动的过程中积累了一些经验和人脉，尝试打造成年人的博雅教育，并在播客中拓展这样的探索。我们希望审视和反抗无意识的价值规训与随波逐流。我们希望冷酷地剖析自己的偏见，热忱地拥抱多元视角。我们希望去工具化，真诚地感知、理解、创造自己的生活和复杂的世界。我们追随原初的好奇而非代餐式的猎奇。话题可以轻松，方法力求严肃。在《选修课》里，我们互相映照，唤醒失落的维度。
选修课 Universus is a Chinese-language podcast created by the same people who founded the New York Chinese Cultural Salon (纽约文化沙龙）in 2013. The past decade of organizing events and talks put us in a position of creating a sort of liberal arts education experience for those who have left school. We strive to go beyond merely transmitting knowledge to reflecting on complex topics using cross-disciplinary perspectives. We strive to resist conformity, to dissect our own biases, and to embrace diverse schools of thought. Our goal is to help professionals resist becoming just a tool of production, and to understand the world around us in earnest. We let our genuine curiosity be our guide. With a light-hearted tone, we approach each topic seriously. We hope that “选修课 Universus” creates a space to explore lost dimensions.
