走入東周宮殿 · Walk Into the Eastern Zhou

活動概覽 · 01 The Premise · 01

古代文化，
不是課本上的距離。 Ancient culture
is not textbook distance.

這是一場結合 VR 沉浸式體驗、古代文化導賞與現代生活反思的文化活動。參加者會進入一個以東周宮殿為基礎設計的虛擬空間，從宮殿外圍與大門開始，在導師帶領下，一步一步觀察古代建築、入口空間、神獸、器物與身份秩序。 This is a cultural experience that fuses immersive VR, expert-led interpretation, and reflection on contemporary urban life. Participants enter a virtual space modeled on an Eastern Zhou palace and, beginning at the outer gates, are guided step by step through architecture, entryways, mythical beasts, ritual vessels, and the hierarchies they encode.

不只是聽導師介紹東周文化，而是親身在 VR 空間中移動、觀看、停留和提問——透過身體感受古代空間如何安排視線、界線、身份與秩序。 You don't simply listen to a lecture about Eastern Zhou culture. You move through it. You stop, look, and ask questions — feeling, in your own body, how ancient spaces choreograph sightlines, boundaries, status, and order.

課程亦會加入現代生活文化的討論，引導參加者思考：當我們看見宮門、神獸、器物與等級制度時，除了認識古代，也能否反過來理解今日城市生活中的身份、空間與文化符號？ The workshop also folds in modern urban life and culture, asking: when we look at palace gates, mythical beasts, ritual objects, and rank systems, can we also turn that gaze around — to better understand identity, space, and cultural symbols in the city we live in today?

03 旅程地圖 Itinerary

五個主題，
由大門一步一步走入。 Five themes,
step by step from the outer gate.

進入 VR 東周宮殿空間 Entering the Virtual Palace

在導師指引下進入 VR 空間，熟習基本操作。導師會簡介這座東周宮殿的設計意義——這不是一次「看模型」，而是一次古代文化導賞。 Step into the VR space with guided onboarding and learn the basic controls. Your instructor introduces the design intent of this Eastern Zhou palace — not a model to admire, but a culture to walk through.

這不是「看」古代——是身處其中。 This isn't looking at the past — it's standing inside it.

從宮殿大門開始 Reading Gates & Thresholds

由宮殿外圍與大門開始，觀察入口、方位、外圍空間、牆與門之間的關係，思考古代建築如何表達「內外」、「高低」、「可進入」與「不可進入」。 Starting from the outer perimeter, examine entrances, orientation, walls, and gates — and consider how ancient architecture quietly distinguishes inside from outside, high from low, permitted from forbidden.

為甚麼古代宮殿不讓人一眼看穿為甚麼一道門可以代表身份界線我們今日生活中，有沒有類似的「門檻」 Why are ancient palaces designed so you can't see through at a glance How can a single door encode social rank What thresholds quietly run through our own daily lives

「升官晉爵」背後的「爵」 The Vessel Behind the Phrase

「升官晉爵」是大家都聽過的成語，但「爵」原本是器物，與禮制和身份密切相關。透過器物展示，認識古人如何用飲食、祭祀、宴會與禮器表達身份。 "To rise in rank" — the Cantonese idiom uses the word jeuk, but few realize it names a specific bronze drinking vessel tied to ritual and rank. Through the objects themselves, we trace how food, ceremony, and tableware once carried social status.

「升官晉爵」的「爵」原本到底是甚麼為甚麼一件飲酒器，會同身份甚至政治地位有關 What was a "jeuk" actually, before it became a metaphor How does a drinking cup come to encode political standing

龍與神獸：視覺符號的權力 Dragons & Mythical Beasts

龍與神獸最容易引起興趣，但本工作坊不只把它們當神話角色介紹。我們會帶領參加者思考：牠們被放在哪裏？代表甚麼身份？為何不同位置與形態的神獸有不同意義？ Dragons and mythical beasts grab attention, but we go further than mythology. Where exactly are they placed? Whose authority do they represent? And why does a creature on a roof ridge mean something different from one at a doorway?

龍是否一開始就只是皇帝的象徵神獸放在門口、屋頂、四方，是否只是裝飾今日香港城市裡，有沒有類似的文化符號 Was the dragon always reserved for the emperor Are guardian beasts just decoration — or something more What functions like a "guardian beast" in Hong Kong today

回到現代：與我們有甚麼關係？ Returning to the Modern City

由 VR 體驗回到現代生活。古代文化是否仍然屬於我們，還是只是遙遠的歷史？我們今日如何透過空間、標誌、物件和身份制度理解自己身處的社會？ Step out of VR and back into the city. Does ancient culture still belong to us, or is it just distant history? And how do we — today — read our own society through space, symbols, objects, and rank?

古代文化，是否仍然是我們的文化？ Is ancient culture still our culture?

04 適合對象 Who This Is For

深淺可調，
讓不同人都能走入。 Adaptable depths,
so everyone can enter.

親

親子及小朋友 Family & Kids

學

中學生 Secondary Students

加入歷史背景、文化符號、身份與社會結構討論。配合課程內容，亦可作獨立文化活動。 Layers in historical context, cultural symbolism, and discussion of identity and social structure. Pairs with curriculum or runs as a stand-alone cultural session.

人

成人版本 For Adults

加強身份與古今關係的反思。適合公眾、機構或公司活動。 Deepens the conversation around modern urban life, culture,and the relationship between past and present. Suitable for public, institutional, or corporate settings.

港

香港人社群 HK Community

特別為離散處境設計，重新理解「古代文化是否也是我們的文化」。在身份問題仍未休止的時候，提供一處可以停留的空間。 Designed specifically for the diaspora — a chance to ask, again, whether ancient culture still belongs to us. A place to pause inside a question that hasn't been settled.

05 為甚麼重要 Why It Matters

古代文化與現代人之間，是否只剩下課本上的距離？ Between ancient culture and modern people — is the only thing left really textbook distance?

在一般學習經驗中，古代文化往往透過文字、圖片和名詞傳遞，容易予人遙遠、抽象甚至沉悶的感覺。VR 空間提供了另一種可能：參加者可以親身進入一個古代場景，在導師引導下，以觀察、行走和提問的方式理解文化。 For most of us, ancient culture arrives as words, images, and unfamiliar names — flattened, abstract, easy to skim. VR offers another way in. You walk through a space, you stop at things, you ask questions out loud, and a guide walks beside you.

透過東周宮殿外圍、大門、器物、神獸與身份符號，本工作坊希望讓參加者發現，古代文化並不只是過去的遺物。它可以幫助我們重新思考今日的城市生活、社會身份、文化記憶，以及我們與「傳統」之間複雜而有趣的關係。 Through palace gates, vessels, mythical beasts, and the symbols of rank, this workshop hopes to make one thing visible: ancient culture is not only a relic of the past. It is a way to rethink the city we live in now — our identities, our memories, and the strange and interesting relationship we have with what we call "tradition."

謝謝Hugo老師和Esther館長悉心準備是次VR互動課程，以生動有趣方式介紹東周貴族的生活百態，讓我輕鬆了解各種歷史知識，體驗當時的生活習俗。期待之後一起穿梭不同時期的歷史文化之旅，亦希望有機會探索更多VR活動（如課堂中的六棋藝，射藝比賽）⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you to Hugo and Curator Esther for so thoughtfully preparing this interactive VR course. The lively, engaging introduction to Eastern Zhou aristocratic life made it effortless to absorb the history and experience the customs of that era.
