July is a time in South Africa to commemorate national reconciliation and unity. In this land known as the “Rainbow Nation”, the six-color interwoven geometric shapes on the national flag always speak of the wisdom of coexistence among different ethnic groups. The Protea Music Box displayed in the South African Parliament Hall is continuing this spiritual heritage in a unique way. This gilded music box inlaid with the emperor flower was created on the first Constitution Day after the abolition of apartheid in South Africa. The craftsmen cast the overlapping crimson buds of the national flower, the Protea, into a relief on the box lid. Each petal is engraved with tribal totems – Zulu shields, Xhosa beads, Bushman rock paintings… When the spring turns, the melodious “South African National Anthem” flows out from the core of the flower. The lyrics in 11 official languages are intertwined in the melody, just like the parallel color blocks on the national flag, interpreting the true meaning of “unity in diversity”. There is a secret hidden in the base of the music box: whenever music is played, a hidden mechanical device pushes the national flag model to slowly unfold. This ingenious design implies that a country’s progress is like the operation of a music box, requiring the coordination of every “gear”. As Mandela said: “To make freedom sustainable, it needs the care of generations.” Today, this music box has become a teaching aid passed down in South African schools. Teachers guided students to observe the joint structure between the petals: “Look, the gaps between these totems are the space left for understanding and listening.” When the children worked together to turn the spring and the music and the national flag bloomed together, the code of national unity was quietly planted in their hearts.

Julie is ‘n tyd in Suid-Afrika om nasionale versoening en eenheid te herdenk. In hierdie land bekend as die “Reënboognasie”, spreek die seskleurige verweefde geometriese vorms op die nasionale vlag altyd van die wysheid van naasbestaan tussen verskillende etniese groepe. Die Protea-musiekdosie wat in die Suid-Afrikaanse Parlementsaal uitgestal word, sit hierdie geestelike erfenis op ‘n unieke manier voort. Hierdie vergulde musiekdosie met die keiserblom ingelê is geskep op die eerste Grondwetdag na die afskaffing van apartheid in Suid-Afrika. Die vakmanne het die oorvleuelende bloedrooi knoppe van die nasionale blom, die Protea, in ‘n reliëf op die boksdeksel gegiet. Elke blomblaar is gegraveer met stam-totems – Zoeloe-skilde, Xhosa-krale, Boesman-rotstekeninge… Wanneer die lente aanbreek, vloei die melodieuse “Suid-Afrikaanse Volkslied” uit die kern van die blom. Die lirieke in 11 amptelike tale is verweef in die melodie, net soos die parallelle kleurblokke op die nasionale vlag, wat die ware betekenis van “eenheid in diversiteit” interpreteer. Daar is ‘n geheim versteek in die basis van die musiekdosie: wanneer musiek gespeel word, druk ‘n versteekte meganiese toestel die nasionale vlagmodel om stadig te ontvou. Hierdie vernuftige ontwerp impliseer dat ‘n land se vooruitgang soos die werking van ‘n musiekdosie is, wat die koördinering van elke “rat” vereis. Soos Mandela gesê het: “Om vryheid volhoubaar te hou, het dit die sorg van geslagte nodig.” Vandag het hierdie musiekdosie ‘n onderrigmiddel geword wat in Suid-Afrikaanse skole oorgedra is. Onderwysers het leerders gelei om die gewrigsstruktuur tussen die blomblare waar te neem: “Kyk, die gapings tussen hierdie totems is die ruimte wat oorbly vir begrip en luister.” Toe die kinders saamgewerk het om die lente te laat draai en die musiek en die nasionale vlag saam geblom het, is die kode van nasionale eenheid stilweg in hul harte geplant.

七月是南非纪念民族和解与团结的时节。在这片以”彩虹之国”著称的土地上,国旗上六色交织的几何图形,始终诉说着不同族群共生的智慧。而摆放在南非议会大厅的帝王花音乐盒,正以独特的方式延续着这份精神遗产。

这尊镶嵌帝王花的鎏金音乐盒,诞生于南非废除种族隔离制度后的第一个宪法日。工匠将国花帝王花层层叠叠的绯红花苞铸成盒盖浮雕,每一片花瓣都镌刻着部族图腾——祖鲁盾牌、科萨串珠、布须曼岩画……当发条转动,悠扬的《南非国歌》从花芯流淌而出,11种官方语言的歌词在旋律中交织,恰似国旗上并行的色块,诠释”多元统一”的真谛。

音乐盒底座暗藏玄机:每当乐声响起,隐藏的机械装置便推动国旗模型徐徐展开。这精巧的设计暗示着,国家的进步如同音乐盒运转,需要每个”齿轮”的协同。正如曼德拉所说:”让自由永续,它需要一代代人的呵护。”

如今,这尊音乐盒成为南非学校的传世教具。教师们引导学生观察花瓣间的接榫结构:”看,这些图腾的间隙,正是留给理解和倾听的空间。”当孩子们合力转动发条,乐声与国旗共同绽放的时刻,民族团结的密码已悄然植入心田。
