【Relics Become Icons】 Xiao You (Owl-shaped Vessel)

不过，三千多年后的今天，网友们可不管这些。因为它的造型酷似游戏中的小鸟形象，大家直接给它封了个更接地气的外号——古代版“愤怒的小鸟”。从战神到“愤怒的小鸟”，这大概是文物史上最欢乐的“降维打击”了。

But more than three thousand years later, internet users don’t really care about all that. Because its shape bears a striking resemblance to a certain bird character from a popular video game, they’ve given it a much more down-to-earth nickname: the ancient version of the “Angry Bird.” From war god to Angry Bird—this might just be the happiest case of “downgrading” in cultural relic history.

2023年，山西博物院趁热打铁，推出了以鸮卣为代表的“铜”趣系列毛绒玩具。这款毛绒版鸮卣，精准保留了那双大圆眼和“内八”小脚丫，却把青铜的厚重变成了毛绒的柔软。一改往日的冷硬，“绒”化你的心。

In 2023, the Shanxi Museum seized the moment and launched the “Bronze Fun” series of plush toys, featuring Xiao You as the star. This plush version of Xiao You faithfully retains those big round eyes and the pigeon-toed little feet, but replaces the weight of bronze with the softness of plush. Gone is the cold hardness of metal—this little guy will melt your heart.

三千多年前，鸮卣里装的是敬神的烈酒；三千多年后，它怀里揣的，是我们满满的好奇和喜爱。从“战神”到“萌神”，变的不是它的模样，而是我们看它的眼神。也许，文物“潮出圈”最动人的地方，就是它能让我们在忍不住笑出来的那一刻，和三千年前的祖先，隔空击了个掌。

Over three thousand years ago, the Xiao You held strong wine offered to the gods. Three thousand years later, it now holds our boundless curiosity and affection. From “God of War” to “God of Cuteness,” what has changed is not its appearance, but the way we look at it. Perhaps the most delightful thing about a cultural relic “going viral” is that, in the moment it makes us smile, we find ourselves sharing a high-five across three thousand years with our ancient ancestors.
