山西博物馆的鸮卣是文物界老网红了，凭借着呆萌的外表俘获了一群粉丝，有的网友称它是“外星生物”，有的则说它是“扑腾着翅膀的胖乎乎的小猫头鹰”，还有的说它是古代版“愤怒的小鸟”。

The owl-shaped wine vessel "Xiaoyou" from the Shanxi Museum has become a sensation in the world of cultural relics, capturing a group of fans with its cute appearance. Some netizens call it an "alien creature", others describe it as a "fluffy owl flapping its wings", and some even refer to it as an ancient version of the "angry birds".

鸮卣是商代晚期青铜器的精美之作，造型为两只猫头鹰背靠背站立，鸮是古代对猫头鹰一类鸟的统称，而卣是一种酒器，合起来就是“猫头鹰造型的酒器”。

Xiaoyou is an exquisite bronze work from the late Shang Dynasty, featuring the back-to-back standing figures of two owls. "鸮 (Xiao)" was the ancient term for birds like owls, and "卣 (You)" refers to a type of wine vessel. Together, they form a "wine vessel shaped like an owl".

可以看到这件鸮卣整体圆嘟嘟的，身上刻有眼睛、夔纹和垂鳞纹，纹饰十分精美。从正面看，它就像是一只胖胖的鸟，下面的足像两条小短腿，头两侧还有一对小耳朵，确实萌萌的很可爱。

The vessel has a round and chubby overall appearance, with eyes, kuiwen (a decorative motif), and hanging scale patterns engraved on its body, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship. When viewed from the front, it resembles a chubby bird with two short legs below and a pair of small ears on each side of its head, truly adorable.
