博物馆里读希腊

(2012-09-07 18:33:28) 下一个

到了雅典,历史遗迹当然是要去瞻仰的,然而参观博物馆也是一项必不可少的内容,因为博物馆是对历史、艺术和文化的条理化。雅典之行接近尾声的时候,我终于有了这样一个机会。

按着地图去找拜占庭-基督教博物馆,然而碰到的第一个博物馆却是战争博物馆。看书开卷有益,博物馆也是。而且战争在古希腊占有非常重要的地位,有了战争,才有了青铜器的大发展,有了文学史上的惊天之作《荷马史诗》。于是就走了进去。可惜那里正在维修,看不到古希腊时期的硝烟战火。只看了二战跟韩战部分。希腊人也参加了韩战,这让我有些吃惊。大约还有许多希腊人死于中国人民志愿军之手吧,展品中有好几份用韩文写的感谢信,都来自当时的总统。见到了许多轻武器,步枪、机枪、手枪。手枪有的袖珍得可以放在荷包里,女士的小坤包里,这也许就是勃郎宁手枪吧。手枪里还有19世纪时候的样式,兴许那就是最早的了吧。很美很精制,精雕细刻,看去有摆设的功能。镇压太平天国时,洋枪队使用的恐怕就是这种手枪,别看它不如大刀长矛巨大吓人,却远比它们利害,这就是热火器跟冷火器的区别。

出了战争博物馆,走不远就到了拜占庭-基督教博物馆。拜占庭的艺术跟古希腊史前时期的艺术相比要粗劣很多,而且内容也极为拘谨单调,后期基督教艺术中干脆扼杀了拜占庭艺术中花草虫鱼的成份,只剩下了孤零零的十字架傲视和践踏着艺术。这是公元7世纪到8世纪的事,那时正是所谓的中世纪。以前知道中世纪黑暗,但还比较抽象,现在看了这些基督教的艺术,对中世纪的黑暗就有了具象的认识。希腊史前的传统是多神教,所以才有了对诸神的敬重和膜拜,好象中国春秋战国时期的诸子百家的平等争鸣。但希腊到了这一时期,只有对上帝的诚惶诚恐。哲学是从希腊诞生的,泰勒斯、苏格拉底、柏拉图、赫拉克利特等等哲学家构成了人类历史上最璀璨的精神星空,各种哲学学派传道解惑、生气盎然,然而到了这时期,宗教的专断和蒙昧取代了哲学的思考和智慧,各种哲学学派遭到了围剿和禁绝,希腊的自由精神遭到了空前绝后的强奸和践踏。这种状况跟伊甸园的沦落如出一辙。于今想来,还是令人嘘唏。

那就去看公元前扬眉吐气的希腊吧。国家博物馆展示的就是这样一个希腊。博物馆分为三部分,许多是陪葬品,大约是公元前四千年的文物,如陶制品、装饰品、武器、酒器和其他日常生活用品。这些展品无一不精妙绝伦。很有意思的是,其中还有天平。天平既可以用来度量生活中的实物,也被当成象征物来度量灵魂。天平的两个盘上有蝴蝶图案,代表灵魂。这与古老中华的认识居然不约而同,《梁祝》中有化蝶一幕,那蝶正是祝英台灵魂的物化。

另外还有许多雕塑,大大小小,都是公元前3000年到2500年的作品。其之逼真让人叫绝。从脚趾到脚趾甲,从身上所披的衣服的褶皱到面部五官的轮廓几乎纤毫毕露,纯粹超现实主义的手法。我不能不惊叹几千年前古希腊人所达到的艺术高度,即使在今天,这等艺术也还堪称一流。从这些雕塑中,我看到了健壮的希腊人、美丽的希腊人,快乐的希腊人。所谓文艺复兴运动所依照的楷模就是这种希腊人,所要恢复的正是人的这种面貌。

博物馆就像是一本巨书。到了雅典,轻松地流连于古迹大街之余,肃穆地参观博物馆也是一个精彩的节目。

zephyr2012 回复 悄悄话 I wish I was in Greek. Admiring you had the chance. hopefully I can go to Greek some day soon.

I love ancient Greece mythology.Ancient Greek is such a deeply romantic nation who lived in the dreams.

In the early 1980's when I was in middle school , I got one book about ancient Greece mythology which had hundred stories and illustrations. it was my most loved book, it was also my first enlightenment to the western art. I keep the book until I came to America.



Ancient Greek created the best culture of mankind. the art and science, the philosophy , even the aesthetics which they founded,

still influence our modern world tremendously.



we are all in debt to the Greek. let's travel to Greek, supporting their economy.
