内容简介
楚人筚路蓝缕以启山林，它为复融华夏，不屈不挠；楚人开放包容浪漫，有着对美的极致追求，创造了绝世惊艳的楚文化。这里有举世闻名的曾侯乙编钟，有精美绝伦的漆器，有富有创造力的丝绸刺绣，有典丽优雅的楚辞，有一代霸主楚庄王、治水专家孙叔敖、伟大诗人屈原、忠贤典范申包胥……
春秋时期，楚国大败晋国而称霸，最盛时是一个方圆5000里的煊赫大国，可谓“楚境横天下”，然而，在崇尚权诈、较量贪狠的残酷的战国时代，楚国统治集团却还保持着春秋时代礼乐文明熏陶而养成的质朴、文雅和慢节奏。当慢节奏的楚国遭遇贪狠的战国时代，其灭亡已不可避免。
本书审视“中原化”对楚国兴亡的影响，审视华夏文明开拓与融合的历程，借助考古发现和历史典籍里的记载，以奇谲瑰丽的文物解读楚国辉煌灿烂的文明，以盛衰荣枯的历程揭示历史背后值得深思的兴亡规律，完整、系统地讲述了楚国800年波澜壮阔的历史。

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Chu defeated the state of Jin and became a hegemon. At its peak, it was a powerful country with a radius of 5,000 miles, which could be described as "Chu across the world". However, in the brutal Warring States era of respecting power fraud and competing with greed and mercilness, Chu's ruling group still maintained the simplicity, elegance and slow rhythm cultivated by the etiquette and music civilization of the Spring and Autumn Period. When the slow pace of Chu encountered the greedy and ruthless Warring States period, its demise was inevitable.
