日晷雕塑，2022年建成，位于留仙洞园区红芯书院前。形制秉承中国传统赤道式日晷精髓。日晷由晷盘和晷针两部分构成，晷面平行于赤道，晷针指向北极星，依日影迁转于石刻度数之间以定晷刻，深蕴古人“观象授时”之智。既合《周易》“观乎天文，以察时变”之哲思，亦续《尚书》“敬授民时”之古训，将时间之度与人文教化深度契合。
The Sundial Sculpture, completed in 2022, is located in front of Hongxin College inXili Campus (Liuxiandong Area). Its design follows traditional Chinese equatorial sundial,preserving the essential principles of classical Chinese timekeeping.It consists of the dial plate and the gnomon. The dial plate is aligned parallel to the Earth’sequator, and the gnomon points to the North Celestial Pole. Shadows move across the engraved marks to indicate time, embodying the ancient wisdom ofobserving celestial phenomena to tell time.The concept echoes the philosophical insight expressed in the Book of Changes (I Ching):“By observing the patterns of heaven, one perceives the changes of time.”It also resonates with the teaching in the Book of Documents (Shangshu):“Respectfully providing the proper seasons for the people.”In this way, the sculpture brings together the measurement of time and the cultivation of human values, symbolizing the deep connection between knowledge, nature, and education.
