Sanxingdui

Xiabegan 2,000 years BC, yet it is nottrue history, dating back only about 4,000 years of history; true history of the first dynasty,the Shang Dynasty, only the history dating back 3600 years. This, forChina's image as an ancient civilization is undoubtedly not proportionate. The Sanxingdui, this once obscure little place, our history will be pushed forward to 4800 years ago, while its own is only silence lay fertileSichuan Basin, silently bearing theChinese nation,the origin of the soul ... ... So, to say: "China has 5,000 years of history, not because ofthe legendof Emperors Yan and Huang, not because ofthe summer,business,weeks, but because we have Sanxingdui. "
Sanxingdui is a national cultural heritage, is thesouthwestern regionof theBronze Agesites. Located in theSichuanGuanghanNanxing Town, Chengdu Plain. 1980 excavations. Found in the city was in ruins, Tower 1, it was believed that its construction of the early Shang Dynasty's to late. Known length of 1,100 meters east wall, south wall of 180 meters, 600 meters west wall, made of artificial Ben Zhu. Clean out the housing base, pits, burials, burial pits and so on. Foundations of a round, square, rectangular, 3 species of mostly ground-wood construction. Since 1931 there have been repeatedly found in the burial pits, pit laying most of jade and bronze. 1986, found two large sacrificial pits, excavated a large number of bronze ware, jade, ivory, shells, pottery and gold and so on. Gold in the gold scepter and gold mask beautifully produced.BronzeIn addition to jar, respect, plates, Ge, there are the size of human head, vertical portrait, long cylindrical device and copper climbing birds, deer and other copper. Among them, the younghead bronzeimage of an exaggeration, very local characteristics; Li Portrait with seat height 2.62 meters, big eyes and straight nose, big ears Fang Yi, Dai Guanzhong, left-ren to wear robes, wear anklets, the research is a rare physical and Shu dress information. About the age of burial pits at the end when the business weekly, is considered all natural mountains Shu worship heaven and earth the remains of the gods.
The current and historical heritage master of view, the ancient Shu Shang dynasty and the Central Plains there is no tributary relationship, but two relatively independent Fang. Found in Shang Dynasty in the currentOracle, the record has a lot of Shang Shu army and fighting events, but mostly peter out; in Sanxingdui have unearthed the ruins of the Shang elite few to use as a trophy of weapons, mace and engraved There Shang writing implements, ancient Shu powerful evident.
Deck Sanxingdui civilization of ancient Shuculture Bao pier, the next KaiSandsculture (seeJinsha site), the ancientPalestinianstate, and it took about 2000, is China'sYangtze Riveron behalf of early civilizations, and so far the earliest known of the messenger civilization. Can not be denied,Sanxingdui cultureis indeed the origins of Chinese civilization, one of the oldest.

Eternal mysteries

Along the Sichuan Guanghan out about, there are three towering mound of yellow on the Chengdu Plain, Sanxingdui hence the name. The spring of 1929, local farmers digging ditches Yan Daocheng next time in the house, found a hole exquisite ancient jade, which opened the prelude of the Sanxingdui civilization. In 1986, the Sanxingdui two large sacrificial pits of Shang Dynasty found thousands of pieces of rare treasure was shocked the world, a sensation the world, known as the world, "the ninth wonder."
From December 2000, the Sichuan Sanxingdui archaeological staff within the 500 square meters, the 20 probe to explore the implementation side, the end of March 2001. The excavation will provide more detailed information, to become the next century, the prelude to large-scale studies.

One unsolved mystery: where the origin of civilization

The discovery of the Sanxingduiancient Shu StateHistorical pushed forward to 5000 years ago.
Sanxingdui culture come from? This huge number of bronze portraits, animals do not belong to any class of the Central Plains bronzes. Did not leave a text on the bronze is simply incredible.

Station Chen Dean for an interview that Sanxingdui people may come from other continents, Sanxingdui civilization may be "hybrid civilization."
Sichuan before and after 3000 BC, is still a wild place, at which time two major local ethnic groups live: the southeast and northwest barbarians MiaoQiang. According to the legend of the ancient Qiang people, their ancestors came from the northwest of the plateau, they arrived todayin Chengdu Plain, the nation has worked with the local tribes have had a history of each crusade. Later, the Qiang people called Cong chief king, because there Zongmu Cong, and later of the Qiang people to cast a large bronze masks Zongmu in his honor ("Huayang Shu-chi": "There Cong Shu Hou, and its purpose vertical, before kings. death for the sarcophagus stone coffin, people from the, so vulgar as to stone coffin tomb Zongmu people have. "). This seems to be the origins of the ancient Shu people a better explanation, but the legend is a legend after all.
Another argument that the ancient Shu andDu Yurelated.

Two mysteries: the disappearance of the ancient capital

Continued prosperity of the ancient Shu 1,500 years, and like it there and then as suddenly disappeared. Once again, when the convergence of history, has more than 2,000 years the middle of the mysterious blank. On the demise of the ancient Shu people assumed a variety of reasons, but they always stay because of insufficient evidence in the assumptions ---
Flood said. Sanxingdui north ofDuck River, Relevant Problems in the city across the river, so some scholars think that is the result of floods. But archaeologists have not found in the ruins left by the flood sediments.
War said. Equipment found in most of the site is destroyed or burnt in advance, it seems should permit this interpretation. But later it was found that the age difference between these devices for hundreds of years.
Migration said. This argument does not require much research, but it is actually still did not answer the fundamental question: Why do people migrate?
Plain rich, fertile soil, mild climate, with the disaster that explanation seems difficult to justify. So, the ancient Shu disappeared in the history of the real reasons for what is it?
Recently inVietnam's northern archaeological excavations, that Quine hole sites, several ancient sites such as Li YiCochinFeng original cultural heritage and the cultural heritage should be a relationship. 317 BC, the Qin Shu, Shu are broken, prisoners Shu Wang. Shu prince, to bring home tens of thousands of southern escape, disappeared. This is a historic cause?

Three mysteries: the mysterious apparatus

Unearthed in a large number of bronze, with virtually no daily necessities, the vast majority of ritual supplies. Show that the ancient Shu State has a relatively complete system of primitive religion. These ritual supplies with the cultural characteristics of different regions, especially bronze statue, gold stick, etc, and the world famousMayan culture,the ancient Egyptianculture is very close. Sanxingdui Museum deputy director Zhang Jizhong that the characteristics of different regions with a large number of sacrificial items that Sanxingdui was the world center of pilgrimage.
In the pits more than 5,000 pieces of shellfish, were identified from the Indian Ocean. Some people say that do business with these seashells, is the first exchange in Sichuan, but some people said that this is brought sacrificial pilgrims. There are more than 60 ivory is the root cause of the scholars "indigenous ivory" and "outside the ivory," the controversy. "Sai Tong Qin populated not with" the ancient Shu, actually have the "foreign investment", incredible.

Four mysteries: text or picture

Found in the sacrificial pit --- a priceless treasure of the world's first golden scepter. The scepter has long been the academic recognition of that, but the moment the fish, the arrow pattern has caused such a storm.
Essential elements of the civilization of a nation, Sanxingdui are in place, just missing text. Scholars has been some controversy over this history, "Shu Wang Ji" that the ancient Shu people "do not realize that the text, not ritual," "Huayang"Shu said that" multi-spot color paper. "
As for the gold stick on a map is the text of the pattern, different views of the see. Some have been trying to decipher, and some experts believe that there is a single portrait of largely symbolic, can not express language. But if we can interpret these patterns, will greatly promote the Sanxingdui crack the mystery. Sanxingdui remaining question mark in the text area, but also one of its attractions.

Five mystery: When will the Inside

Sanxingdui museum exhibits artifacts that are up to 70 years the results of archaeological excavations. Now carried out excavations tension is the 13th large-scale excavation.
Sanxingdui station ownersChen Deantold reporters, focused on exploring this ancient city center, will most likely find the palace of the ancient Shu State. At present, had been discovered involving dozens of broken pottery dynasties. December 17, China Central Television will broadcast live the excavations, archaeologists said with a smile: "17, 17, to all know."
The outcome, is still a mystery. But one thing is certain, the mystery of Sanxingdui not so easily be lifted, in the 12 square kilometers within the scope of protection of cultural focus, only 7,000 square meters have been excavated.

Value History

Sanxingdui found the significance of history are the following:
Understanding of modern people to re-Shuculture. Because the discovery of Sanxingdui, and long history of academic circlesBa culturevery different understanding of, and some places even completely different. For example, historians have always maintained that, in comparison with the Central Plains, the ancient Ba and Shu areas where a relatively closed, and the Central Plains culture is not associated or little communication. The Sanxingdui proof, it should be before the Chinese Xia and Shang Dynasties, or even earlier as an important cultural center, and with the Central Plains culture has a definite link. Verify the ancient literature on the authenticity of the ancient Shu State records.
Previous historians believe is the birthplace of the ChineseYellow River, and then gradually spread to all of China. The discovery of the Sanxingdui history of the ancient Shu State pushed forward to 5000 years ago, proved that, like the Yangtze River and Yellow River with the birthplace of the Chinese nation, proved that existed in the Yangtze River region as much as the ancient civilization of the Yellow River region.
The idea that people Sanxingdui Qiang Yi people represent the culture.

Site Features

[1]Guanghan Sanxingdui site was the capital of the ancient Shu Kingdom, one of 70 years, where archaeologists have been exploring the ancient Shu culture, an important goal. 7 September 1986, two large sacrificial pits of Shang Dynasty found that two pit available thousands of pieces of precious relics Shu, suddenly a sensation in China, shocked the world. According to scholars, the relics of two large sacrificial pits, most of the ancient Shu king room ancestral weighing equipment may be encountered regime change, the new dynasty, the royal ancestral temple the previous generation of weighing equipment all burned in the ritual ceremony and buried at into the pit.
  
  
  
Sanxingdui burial pits were excavated in the thousands of pieces of bronze, gold, jade, the most characteristic of the most important three or four hundred bronzes. Among them, the type of One pit was excavated bronze head, like a human face, human masks,Kneeling Figure, the dragon-shaped ornaments, Long cylindrical device, tiger shaped, Ge, ring, square-shaped hole Qi Bi,dragon statue, Yang Chun, BU, lid, tray and so on. Bronze II has a large excavated pit Bronze Figure, Kneeling Figure, human head, human masks, animal masks, Animal mask, altars, sacred tree, the sun shaped, shaped eyes, upper eyelid, bells, brass ornaments , Ge copper, copper-shaped square hole Bi Qi, birds, snakes, chickens, monsters, water Tau, deer, catfish and so on.
The shape tall, vivid, complex structures are important features of Sanxingdui bronzes. II sacrificial pits up to 2.62 m stand portrait, weight 180 kilograms GAO Guan-shaped portrait Animal mask wearing, wearing clothes three, the outermost layer of clothing similar to "tuxedo"level lift arms, his hands were holding things sacrifice-like (Fig. 31). This tall, cast in bronze in the Shang Dynastybronze civilizationis unique. Hang a large animal with a mask unearthed 138 cm wide and weighs over 80 kilograms, looks extremely exaggerated, square face look like one non-human, like animals of non-animal, angle-shaped high-rise and large ears, long eyes bulging, its face is very grim, grotesque, bronze art can be described as the best. Bronze height 384 cm, nine trees, branches established habitat for birds, branches hanging hook under the fruit, Shugan next to a dragon under the tree assistance very vivid, mysterious, it is the relevant ancienthibiscusmyths reflected image of the specific the.
Sanxingdui bronzes to a lot of people, birds, beasts, Chong Yi, plant its characteristic shape. Bronze human head, human face mask as representatives and people were the ancestors of the gods worship; bronze portrait and Kneeling Figure legislation represents the auspices of ritual worship and the people; eyes protruding forward and flat bronze bronze animal masks Animal mask, which may be the natural worship of the gods Shu; to imitate the characteristics of plants in the shape of bronze sacred tree, which reflects the religious consciousness of the plant worship Shu. To ancestor worship and the animals, plants and other natural gods worship as the main religious ideas, this is the most important spiritual world of early Shu.
These bronze wares unearthed two pits, in addition to the Shang bronze vessel with the Central Plains culture and the bronze culture of the Yangtze River region style, type and shape of the rest of the objects have very strong local characteristics, they unearthed the first to show the world the Shang Dynasty Shu bronze civilization in the late highly developed and stylized look.
It is worth noting: In the Sanxingdui relics, the performance of one "eye" is not only the large number of relics, and these precious relics themselves, strange, such as a large mask, the eye is extremely exaggerated, some cylindrical forward outstanding pupil, as long as 16.5 cm. Is so pieces ofmesh copper mask conflict, prominent eyes cylinder 9 cm. In addition, there are dozens of "eye-shaped copper ornaments", including the diamond-shaped, hook-shaped cloud, round bubble-shaped forms etc., are around the tenon hole, can be assembled or separate suspension, give instructions from, the performance of the eye-specific attention.
Why so seriously portray the ancient Shu eyes? Copper mask for eye pupil cylindrical part why it? It turned out that the worship of ancestors and the ancient Shu people concerned. Mentioned earlier, "Huayang" reads: "Shu Hou Cong, the head vertical, before kings", the tomb is called "Zongmu people mound." According to scholars, the so-called "Zongmu", which means that copper cylinder protruding eye mask, the sudden Unearthed mesh copper masks, it is the statue of the ancient Shu Wang Cong.
According to historical records, Shu Wang Cong Minshan originally lived in the upper reaches of northwestern SichuanMunsan County. And this place, "a stone base, fry the salt too. Land just halogen, not grain." Until modern times, this place is still a serious iodine deficiency, hyperthyroidism endemic areas. We know that patients with hyperthyroidism is an important feature is the protruding eye. Therefore, Shu Wang Cong is likely to be a serious hyperthyroidism patients, especially the eyes bulge during his lifetime. And his descendants in shaping Cong statue, grab this feature and further "deified", which is Shu Wang Cong gods are portrayed as "Zongmu" reasons.
With the development of modern business, the simulation Sanxingdui arts and crafts museum near everything.

The solitary journey of Chinese civilization

Sanxingdui ancient ruins found in the Southwest is by far the largest range, extending the longest time, the most abundant cultural connotation of the ancient city, ancient, ancient Shu culture site, known as the 20th century's greatest archaeological discoveries, made clear with the Yangtze River As with the Yellow River basin, belong to the parent body of Chinese civilization, known as "the source of the Yangtze River civilization."

Sanxingdui

Sanxingdui is a total area of more than 12 square kilometers of large group sites, including large city sites, residential areas and two large pits, and other important artifacts and cultural sites, located in the northern part of the Tuo River Alluvial Plain, the west Guanghan Seven Mile XU, Tuo River tributary north Jian (commonly known as Duck Creek), long five golden, Sheng Ji Zhao annals. Legend of the Jade Emperor in heaven planted the three territories, fell Guanghan Jian River, a towering three on the plain in large yellow mound, like a straight line on the distribution of three Venus, Sanxingdui hence the name. Archaeological excavations are now recognized: three bulldozers actually is the ancient capital of the south wall, there are two gaps in the walls, because the old, the walls collapsed from erosion. Sanxingdui entities have in the last century the seventies and eighties craze burning brick flattened. The remaining half of the brick pile is dug in 1986 found that only two ritual preserved after the stop digging.
Sanxingdui from the late Neolithic era extended to the end of weekly business, dating back to 4800 ~ 2800.
Sanxingdui memory in three different but the face of continuous development of the three archaeological culture, that is, the Chengdu Plain to the summer generation of the Longshan period site group as the representative of a culture, also known as "Bao pier culture"; to the Shang Dynasty scale Sanxingdui The city and the highly developed bronze civilization represented by two cultures; the business end of the early Western Zhou period Sanxingdui abandoned the ancient city of three cultures represented, namely Chengdu, "Twelve Bridges culture."

Serendipitous discovery

Stunning Sanxingdui found that local farmers Yan Daocheng began in 1929 when the car came across the water scouring a ditch pit jade. The spring of 1931, the British missionary in Guanghan County, Benedictine missionary Dong Yi (V • H • Donnithorne) heard the news, find local military to help promote the protection and investigation, will also collect jade to make Americans care offered by West University Museum . According to Dong Du should provide clues, West University, Museum Gewei Han (David C • Graham) and Assistant Forest Name Kwan in 1934 and the spring component archaeological team from Guanghan County Magistrate Luo Yu position chair, in Yan's found jade in the vicinity of a ten-day explored. Fruitful to explore the basis of these materials, Ge Weihan sorted out, "Excavation of the Han State." Regret is the first time since 1934 Sanxingdui discover later, to explore the long stagnation.
50's, archaeologists have resumed in the Sanxingdui archaeological work. At that time, did not realize the magnitude of Sanxingdui, it will Sanxingdui Moon Bay in northern and southern Sanxingdui site as a place of their own site, named "beam sub-sites" and "Sanxingdui site." 1963, by Feng Han Ji leader, Sichuan Provincial Museum, Department of History, Sichuan University, a consortium of archaeological team excavated again Sanxingdui Moon Bay and other locations, and cultural shows Sanxingdui the basic look. At that time, Professor Feng Hanji has recognized that Sanxingdui "along the site is so dense, it may be a center of the ancient Shu Du Yi."
Eighties and nineties of the 20th century, after the Sanxingdui continuous excavation period ushered in the large-scale, before and after 20 years. Excavated from 1980 to 1981, cleared the room into a piece of Neolithic sites relics unearthed specimens million, also found a significant stage of formation pressure relationship Diego. The excavation of the excavation report "Sanxingdui Ruins" that Sanxingdui is "a widely distributed in the Sichuan region, with distinctive characteristics, different from any other archaeological culture of an ancient culture", already Xia Nai's archaeological culture of the three conditions named, suggested the name "Sanxingdui culture." 1982 and 1984, archaeologists place at the Southwest and West Springs Sanxingdui Hom two sites unearthed the remains of Sanxingdui the most advanced. A large number of relics unearthed in 1986, and the complex relationship between formation pressure Diego, according to this year's excavation material, some researchers began Sanxingdui archaeological phases attempt. It was also in 1986, the two have abundance of treasure buried rectangular objects from being accidentally exposed pit, which includes the excavation of a large number of metallic devices, has attracted academic ancient Shu civilization in southwest China's attention. Large-scale excavations in the ruins of Sanxingdui the same time, from 1985 to 1987, the second bridge on the Chengdu site was excavated, the site features the lowest level of the culture of the most advanced and Sanxingdui remains the same as the fate of other issues Sanxingdui culture provides important material.
1990, to Sanxingdui exploration of culture and civilization from the Chengdu Plain in east region and extends to the Southern region. As early as the Neolithic Culture in Sichuan Sanxingdui culture revealed the initial appearance, and there are many ancient ruins and the Longshan era with a number of Neolithic culture at Sanxingdui cultural transition to the discovery of remains, for the deepening of Sanxingdui Civilization to provide a broader outlook.

Ancient bronze Kingdom

In the past, we often say that Chinese civilization is the "up and down five thousand years," but the real civilization, can only be traced back to the Xia Dynasty, before theFu Xi, Yan Huang, Yao and Shun,Zhuan Xu, only a myth. The "Sanxingdui" The discovery of a large number of bronze artifacts unearthed 700 years before the Xia Dynasty glorious history, alive in front of people of the world placed.
It can be said that Sanxingdui is truly disruptive, it forced us to re-understanding of China's social development in history, the history of metallurgy, livestock farming history, art history, cultural history, military history and religious history. Many conventional ideas have to be changed. For example: China's Bronze Age, in the past has been counting from the Shang Dynasty, which is 3,000 years. Unearthed in Anyang, Henan, China's most important bronze - Si Mu Wu Fang Ding Copper is the most typical representatives, but "Another View" over a thousand pieces of bronze artifacts, the quantity, quality (excellent casting process) showed that, as early as the Xia Dynasty 700 years before, had entered into a highly developed Bronze Age.
Sanxingdui culture in the second phase, bronze civilization has its own characteristics of the dominant culture and its influence beyond the traditional scope of the distribution of ancient Shu Chengdu Plain, Southern regions and spread to other places Jianghan. Meanwhile, the bronze has also been in the Central Plains culture and the Xia and Shang civilization, the Yangtze River region, Southern region is strongly influenced by culture, showing theancient Shu civilization anda strong cohesion and the outer derivative of the two sides.

Bronze Portrait of Sanxingdui

Unearthed a large number of precious relics, the brilliant civilization of ancient Shu real and ridiculous, to demonstrate in front of us. One of the most amazing most amazing is that a large number of bronze statues. The fine cast bronze, of various shapes, both exaggerated form, there are beautiful and delicate pictures, a mix of mysterious composition of groups.

Among the many bronze faces of the people, there are three well-known as the "clairvoyant, ears "shape, they are not only the huge size, and the eye was prominent eyes, ears is his best exaggerated, growing up like animals ears, mouth to the ears are also wide , people feel an indescribable surprise and strange. Three corners of the mouth and they kiss on the lips upturned smile-like, and give people a sense of mystery and cordial. One of the biggest one-high 65 cm, width 138 cm, cylindrical eyes and prominent eyes 16.5 cm. Another bridge of the nose up to 66 cm above the mosaic decorations, both the volume as sky-moire, like a long feathered tail bending a paper want to take off Kuilong angle-shaped potential, seems very weird strange, for these blend characteristics of the human animal human face as huge bronze Zongmu Xuan He added momentum and could not crack the meaning.
Archaeology and Museology, Peking University, vice president ofSun Wahbronze statue of Mr between different classes according to Sanxingdui eye to distinguish the difference leads to the identity and put them into three types. Pupil of the eye such as the cylinder protrudes beyond the eye of this kind is not the man of God; there is a transverse ridge between the eyes, no pupil performance, should not ordinary people; eyes or painted eyes or black ink the eyes of real people is common and the image.
Bronze Portrait of Sanxingdui are not many pupils, this caused a lot of attention, but why do not these portraits pupil performance, scholars also have different interpretations. According to ethnographic material, many of the nation when the clergy in the practice speaks, people often have to take some of the hallucinogenic drugs, by virtue of the power of these drugs to achieve, they are a group of very special people, hold high cultures, but the eye was blind. Is the Kingdom of the sacred in the Sanxingdui classes, is really a group of blind? This is still an unsolved mystery.

The largest Bronze Figure

Portrait facial features stand high nose, bushy eyebrows, big eyes, the eyes were oblique vertical shape, wide mouth, large ears, ear lobe, there is a perforation. Head back with the hairline. Portrait stand tall, lean body, arms and hands thick, very exaggerated, were holding hands like grip.
This is the world's largest Bronze Figure, height 1 meter to about 7, with 2.62-meter-high seat and weighs 180 kg, is known as the "king of the world's statue." Casting history dating back over 3,000 years, such a large bronze giant, to date, Shang and Zhou in China unearthed cultural relics, the first case, so as the "giant of the East."
Liren Corolla large bronze head of the center, there is a circular symbol of the sun. See from its location, this is perhaps the Dali portrait in the exercise of the sun god on behalf of their functions, and perhaps he himself is the incarnation of the sun god. This is a direct manifestation of worship of the sun.
Liren is not a large bronze statue of the realistic style, from the bones of the characters, and his body does not meet the normal ratio. Anywhere in the world can not find the person having such a body. In other words, the performance of this statue is not the general people. China appears in the Sun, so much so rough hands, then the thin body, long neck that can not be linked to the existing race. Can only interpret it as an art form, an abstract, a stylized thing. This is the ancient Shu people like an art form.
Well, this statue Bronze Figure representatives may be? Mr. Chen Xiandan who then discover that he is a religious theocracy. Sichuan Academy of Social Sciences Institute of History, Mr. Duan Yu, director of the body from the legislature the amount of speculation portrait is a symbol of Shu Wang. Mr. Zhao Dianzeng the same material selected from the manufacturer point of view that the legislation Portrait Portrait of copper in command of all global.
This bronze statue of the body is rare in China, it appears it is very sudden, then, some scholars in the Near East to find the origin of this feature.Mesopotamiain 30 BC, the century began to use bronze statues. AncientAegean civilizationis also a large number of bronze statues. Today, people face the statue, the questions tend to fall on the eyes of a large pair of hands exaggerated. This surprisingly large double-ring hand shake like a gross mismatch between the ratio of the body. This pair of giant hands that which was originally empty it? If not, he may grasp it? These two hand into the circle is not concentric, that is, that the greatness and Liren grasp objects should be a bend or two things. That will be what is it?
Some scholars believe that legislation should be the portrait holding the hands of Jade. Jade is a very local characteristics of the jade, popular in the southeast region of China 5,000 years ago Liangzhu culture. Australian scholar Noel Barnard believes that the position of Legislative portrait is almost impossible to grasp with both hands Cong such as foreign objects inside the circle. One hand on the top of the hole diameter to be larger, the position of his hands clear that the implementation of the object must have a certain curvature, so he suggested his hands in the portraits of objects stand may be a downward cusp of ivory. And Mr. Qian Yuzhi that the legislature should be the ancient Shu people portraits religious leaders like, bronze hands, the grip is similar to the method of Yi shaman drum with God. Mr. Sun Hua analysts say, stand portrait dressed accessories are made of bronze, if you really want to hold his hands of God through the Tianzhu or instruments used in this tube column, it also should be cast in bronze is, but why is this object should not be Take wood or bamboo to make. Mr. Zhao Dianzeng from Sanxingdui summarized the many strange objects in the shape of the hand. All the characters hands are particularly large, in particular. We unearthed from the same set of other portrait portrait, but also to see the hand shake hands and ring type. Chen Xiandan that it is also a gesture, his hand did not take things like practices of a shaman in action, which is in constant gesture of.

Totem seems enveloped the entire Sanxingdui civilization unearthed a large number of Sanxingdui birds and bird-shaped device, the famous bronze mask Zongmu has been considered the kings of archaeologistsCongreflection, recently, the Sichuan College of Education Professor of Mr. Long Hui that Zongmu mask man and bird is represented by an official form of fit, two pointy ears mask is the cuckoo's two wings. Its hook-like nose pecked it is the falcon is a symbol of a class of birds.
The second generation of the ancient Shu Wang calledYufu. Fuzhou is a bird, specifically referring to the water of the Osprey. Sanxingdui close distance there is a place called Duck Creek rivers. Now, there are still people fishing in this river fed by the Osprey. This can overcome the fish eagle perhaps admired by people in ancient times, so the artifacts unearthed from Sanxingdui, you can see many, and osprey and bird-like shape, or.

Bronze sun gear

Bronze sun gearshaped is probably the most mysterious objects Unearthed artifacts, most people think it is "the concept of worship of the sun show a decorative artifacts." But we all know, nature and human like "symmetry," because not only beautiful symmetry, stability, and simplicity. Manufacture of four, six, eight or twelve ornaments are not more beautiful Mount simple it? Why Jane Sanxingdui people to seek prosperity homes? You know, in the measurement technology is still lagging behind the times, so the circumference is divided into five equal parts to how difficult it is to do this.
Archaeologists, Sichuan University professor Mr. Lin Xiang that should be a shield rings of bronze ornaments. It is a kind of dance instruments used during the ceremony. The pattern on it that it can represent the sun, but does not exclude it in itself is a dry or shield such judgments.

Bronze Tree

About 3,000 years ago, the craftsmen were Sanxingdui a great project, complex projects, including manufacturing many pieces of bronze trees, large enough to hurt the national cost. Sanxingdui people believe that their place of worship must be the center of the world.
The sacred tree stands up, people worship the heaven and earth to achieve communication.
AD August 1986, Sichuan Province II archaeological objects in the Sanxingdui found six pit made by the bronze trees. Excavation will be named as a bronze sacred tree to the VI. When people re-fix them, only to resume a relatively intact, that 一号 largest copper tree.
One large copper tree residues 396 cm high, since the top part is missing, estimated total height should be about 5 meters. The lower part of the tree has a circular base, three braces as the root-like support at the bottom of the trunk. Trunk straight sets has three branches, each layer of three branches, the whole tree a total of nine branches. All the branches are soft and sag. Spur out of the middle branch, a hollow spur on the pattern of small circles and flower buds, flower buds on each end of a bird head Alice; branches are wrapped in a long, one short of the tip within the two hollow peach leaves fruit. Three in each branch, there are a separation of two long sticks. There are four in the trunk lateral side of the short beams, will be a body fixed in the trunk Reversed the dragon. All the archaeological discoveries in the world, the Sanxingdui unearthed bronze sacred tree, is regarded as a very wonderful unique artifacts.
Bronze Tree No. 3 layers, on the trees were the habitat of 9 Bird, apparently "九日 Home branch under the" reflection, not yet recovered unearthed a broken top. The ancient legend of the sun would have been 10, they live in the sacred tree hibiscus, the day a change. Bronze tree recovery after the remnants of 9 birds, the top of the tree of God was not God Bird. Speculated that there should be a symbol of "Home on the shoot day," the one God Bird, also unearthed a few pieces of legislation in the bud copper bird, bird body like a human face, etc., are likely to live in one of these is the bird of God Copper Bird tree branches.
Sanxingdui number two copper tree retains only the second half, the overall shape is unknown, following a circular base. The three roots of the diagonal bracing between the symbol on the base, the kneeling one person, portrait, hands reach, it seems that the original holding something. To recover out of the three branches on each trunk. Its branches have a long, one short bud wrapped in leaves, followed by sets of small circles, large copper tree with the same 一号; but outside the main branches of Chang and upturned, the birds resting in the branches of the leaf bud, this One big tree is different from that of copper.
The two large trees a huge amount of copper, particularly copper One large coiled dragon tree there, they should not ordinary trees, but God has a divine tree. Sacred tree in China in more than one ancient myths and legends, such asconstruction wood, hibiscus, if wood, three mulberry, peaches are waiting. Was extended in Sanxingdui bronze sky above the tree which is closer to God, trees? Literature scholars were the same, but come to different interpretations. So, people attempt to seek answers Rare Books and mythology.
Many scholars believe that they are representatives of hibiscus and if the wood is ancient Shu people imagine heaven as a celestial ladder, this ladder is the same place where the sun is connected, in the East called the hibiscus, known in the West if the wood. "And some scholars believe that the Sanxingdui Bronze Tree found what may be built of wood or wood and built on. British scholar Rosen," Ancient Chinese Secret, "a book written, Sanxingdui precious materials used bronze tree, which uses to cast bronze, perhaps suggesting that it is alive outside of the performance of a non-material world. Sanxingdui largest copper tree to tree trunk, birds, flowers and the trees for people to imagine the sun to show us a Babel theme.
Branches on the tree in the bronze can clearly see some artifacts of the perforation for hanging. Archaeological artifacts are from the Sanxingdui pits found some small bronze pieces. The sound produced by the bronze device may be suspended from the copper tree. 3000 years ago, when the wind blows Sanxingdui, the entire kingdom of people can listen to those by the swaying and collisions play the metal music, crisp sound waves that prove a great Bronze Age reached its peak in the Sichuan Basin.
Now the question is such a huge bronze sacred tree on the center of gravity shifted due to the tilt, bronze tree, now see the recovery of steel cable stayed by several fixed. Inside the trunk is hollow bronze supported by steel reinforcement. Some scholars believe that if all the tree bronze sacred tree erected at prototype assembly, the original three-foot base can not stand all of its weight. Bronze Tree inferred tree should be a major sacrifice for a temporary cast, not as long-term

Display and settings.
Many pieces cast bronze trees with the divine was to be under a lot of determination, because it is a very large and complex manufacturing process.
Bronze Tree from the casting process point of view, the craftsmen used Sanxingdui the most advanced technologies and means, the aim is to complete a group of immortal like the sacrificial ritual. However, if the "one-time use" of the conjecture, we will ask: the craftsmen in the manufacture of these works before the completion of works that will be burned, destroyed and buried it? If you know, but still consume a large amount of energy that are tireless in any detail?
Perhaps the maker of the tree of God that "the manufacture and complete" is not the ultimate goal, and only in accordance with the ultimate sacrificial ceremony "completely smashed", has truly "done!"
Gold mask, gold stick more common in the ancient tombs of Egypt and Western Asia, when people find them, they naturally think of West Asia and North Africa of similar objects. Are they the product of alien? Yu paragraph that: the power of the world on behalf of the traditional rod first place in the West, according to foreign scholars, a token is produced in Western Asia, spread westward to Egypt, and later inherited the ancient Greek tradition. Also from an artistic point of view, it is similar to several major civilizations, and which one is the development direction, for example, the development of the Near East it to Egypt and then to South Asia, to India's development, India also experienced a similar culture factors, we have a long list of China in the cultural sequence of the inside, the age is at a relatively late.
Ancient Egyptian artists to produce gold mask, perhaps to cover the metal with the immortal dead face will be deformed to achieve the immortality of the soul purpose of Pharaohs. Sanxingdui gold mask is attached to the bronze human head above, the purpose of what is it? Mr. Sun Hua that Sanxingdui not mask the gold mask, which is the ancient Shu people dressed in gold, bronze skin, head, these people may have a special status, just like those the largest bronze statue, which uses copper as the face of the whole person as that the performance of gold in addition to the eyes, eyebrows, skin, other than those parts, may be to explain this picture different from that of the bronze head of the special status of other people.
Interpreted as "king of the rod Yufu," the golden rod is regarded as a token of the Lord of Sanxingdui. 142 cm length of this golden rod, diameter 2.3 cm, weight about 0.5 kg of gold, is the longest in the world has found the golden scepter. Golden rod head lower for two people. Engraved with the same top four patterns, vertical and horizontal symmetry. Patterns of each group of patterns, by fish, birds, arrows composition.
One view is that gold scepter is a token Shu Wang. One view is that gold scepter is set Shu royal divine right of political leaders, religious, wealth, monopoly as one of the signs, a symbol of supreme power Shu Wang. Another view is that gold scepter tree synonymous with God, the God of the ancient Shu people are tree worship.

Focus Sanxingdui

With the end of this century on Sanxingdui last major excavation of the gradual deepening of Sanxingdui cultural recently once again become the focus of attention, has become a hot news media coverage. December 17, CCTV a "Oriental Horizon" program, carried out more than 1 hour live coverage of the excavation site.
Not long ago, this reporter had the honor to Sanxingdui a taste of what was once the center of ancient oriental civilization, style, experience a lot of talent, amazing weird rare treasure.
Getting the provincial capital Chengdu, along the Chengdu-Mianyang (Chengdu to Mianyang) highway 22 km north, on to the Guanghan County, where the Chengdu Plain is located in the northern part of a long history, splendid, abundant, Duck River around the city and over . Duck River water is clear and the grass lush river, swaying reeds, the river flocks of wild ducks, and sometimes fly along the surface of the water, sometimes playing in the water, bringing quiet, comfortable. A local friend that can bring people good luck duck river, so the reporter saw many tourists swimming in the river, cars and opened to the river, splashed with water body.
In the duck River, stands a strange shapes, into a vertebral body building, and this is where world-famous ancient ruins of Sanxingdui. Sanxingdui total area of 12 square kilometers, the center is a region east and west and south side walls of the ancient city, an area of about 3 square kilometers in the city's central axis, the distribution of Sanxingdui, Moon Bay, Zhenwu Palace, West Springs Hom around the platform, etc., as sites of "Sanxinbanyue heap" and named Sanxingdui. The most important group of cultural relics, burial pits are located in the central axis, indicating that there is a protective barrier wall as a basis and the ancient city.
In 1929, a man named Yan Road Guanghan City home next to the farmers in digging ditches, they found a large number of jade objects, from ancient Sanxingdui opened a mystery, and began the excavation of the Sanxingdui half a century history. In 1986, Sanxingdui two large sacrificial pits the Shang Dynasty have been discovered, unearthed a gold, bronze, jade and other national treasures in a thousand pieces, which form a strangebronze masks, exquisite jade is as

Rare treasure stir the world.
Sanxingdui also unearthed a large number of seashells, ivory, the ongoing archaeological excavations and found a shell, with different geographical characteristics of such a large number of ritual supplies that was once the world Sanxingdui ancient pilgrimage center.
Unearthed ritual supplies with a large number of different geographical and cultural characteristics, including both visible traces of the Shu culture, have rich West Asia and other characteristics of local culture, especially the bronze statues, gold stick and other items with the world famous Mayan culture, the ancient Egyptian culture is very close to this with a "hybrid" characteristics of the bronze culture of the bronze culture of the Central Plains region is obviously different. According to experts, research, ancient Sanxingdui about 3,000 years ago, well-developed, prosperous, and formed a connection Persia, Egypt and other countries of the channel, ushered in the pilgrims, but also ushered in business around the world, gave birth to the brilliant and unique Sanxingdui civilization.
Sanxingdui many riddles left to the world, archaeologists believe that civilization created incredible Sanxingdui; unearthed bronze exquisite workmanship, is how to make out ancestors; living in Sanxingdui ancient bronze mask is not so strange as; Sanxingdui is how the demise of ancient ... ... the mystery of the world have yet to crack one by one.
It is reported that yesterday morning, Sanxingdui excavation site and a surprising discovery. 4 pits at the site in Bi unearthed stone, stone Cong, Shi Yuan allow archaeologists excited. According to the Sichuan Cultural Relics and Archaeology team captain Wang Lumao introduced, stone jade, stone Yuan, rounded appearance, with its ancient festival

Days. Shi Cong rounded ends, the middle boxy, its function is mainly used for Jide. It just unearthed a Sanxingdui 1986, compared to burial pits II, is a "tribal level," one is "national." However, this study still found that the characteristics of the Sanxingdui culture, relationships are important internal development, once again proof that this hole was an important Sanxingdui culture, burial pits during the inference.
Another important discovery yesterday morning was excavated pits in the ears of another small flat cans. It is understood that this isSanxingdui archaeologicalears first discovered over 70 years of such vessels. It is said that a small flat-bottomed cans ears in the Central Plains region, the Yangtze River and other archaeological activities have not been followed.

Nothing to do with aliens

Sanxingdui[2]a set of ceremonial vessels excavated pits, which once again proves that the pit was an important Sanxingdui culture, burial pits during the inference. According to archaeological findings, the experts had once again denied the people of Sanxingdui may be an alien civilization and world pilgrimage center of speculation.
According to Beijing Morning Post reported at the scene of the 4 pits in the stone unearthed jade, stone Cong, Shi Yuan. Sichuan Provincial Cultural Relics and Archaeology, said team leader Wang Lumao, Shi Bi, Yuan Shi rounded appearance of the ancients with the sacrificial rite; Shi Cong is round two, the middle boxy, its function is mainly used for Jide. Another important discovery was unearthed in the other pits in the ears of small flat cans. This is the first time in 70 years of archaeological discovery Sanxingdui ears of such vessels. It is said that a small flat-bottomed cans ears in the Central Plains region, the Yangtze River and other archaeological activities have not been followed.
Sichuan Provincial Cultural Relics and Archaeology, said the expert Chen Dean, Sanxingdui site is a 5,000 years to 3,000 years ago around the ancient Shu culture site, the site of memory, there are three different but the face of continuous development of the three archaeological cultures. In the Shang dynasty, the Shang Dynasty Sanxingdui civilization represents the highest achievement of the Yangtze River. Previously, it was considered the ancient Shu Sanxingdui ancient civilization there may be an alien civilization,Mayan civilizationor even the city itself is a pilgrimage center of the world of speculation has been denied one by one archaeological experts.
It is understood that, through the sacrificial pits in the ivory for DNA analysis and found that it belonged to the Asian elephant, which from one side of the denial of an alien civilization and the Mayan civilization or contact Sanxingdui civilization. Sanxingdui was a pilgrimage for the center of the world to say, the experts pointed out that due to "Quiet Night, extremely difficult," the objective existence of the geographical environment, there must be several of the pilgrimage route accessible manifestly ill.

Curator Statement

Sichuan Province issued a local newspaper Lianpian remarks on the amazing Sanxingdui, such as "exclusive to the newspaper disclose the experts missed Sanxingdui - alien masterpiece"; "Sanxingdui hybrid civilization", etc., and note in the article on the total, according to Zhang Jizhong Zhao Hall by, Duan Chen Dean and other experts disclosed.
Today SichuanSanxingdui MuseumCurator Mr. Zhang Jizhong suddenly find journalists, said the newspaper Lianpian non-existent issue is pure fabrications, they are referred to specialists did not received an interview with the newspaper, not to mention the appalling point of view. He do not want to intervene in this media to express their views, but now seems to have come from all kinds of speech the mouth of the experts in the community causing a very adverse effect, so all the paper on the Sanxingdui and point of view, he had on behalf of Sanxingdui archaeological experts and staff to come forward to make a solemn statement made to clarify the same time. Following is the text of the statement:
December 17, 2000, China Central Television "Oriental Horizon - Live in China" program broadcast live on the Sanxingdui. At the same time, many of the media are concerned about the Sanxingdui Sanxingdui This played an important advocacy role in promoting. However, a local newspaper in Sichuan individual journalist published a series against the objective facts, distorted the original intent of those interviewed, irresponsible reporting, has never received even an interview with the experts and scholars to catch the error reports, causing experts, my own personal reputation and the reputation of the museum have been Sanxingdui serious harm, resulting in adverse effects. It is a violation of basic norms of journalists who, in order to clarify the facts are as the following statement:
First, I have never on any media, "Phi Sanxingdui relics and the outer drain are closely linked to the mysterious universe," said, but did not say "masterpiece Sanxingdui an alien civilization", "current research has a new major breakthrough found some good evidence "," experts agreed that the Sanxingdui civilization studies have close ties with the outer space "," demonstrate an emergency meeting, "and so on.
Lack of common sense these statements are purely fabricated, grandstanding. May I ask what the professional ethics of journalism?
Their archaeological work is a very rigorous scientific research, it needs to demonstrate the dual heritage and literature, will not allow a sufficient basis for making things not scared Kan. I met with several academics are very rigorous, quite accomplished experts, the nonsense we should not casually planted in them.
Sanxingdui Yangtze River as an outstanding representative of ancient civilization, Central Plains and the surrounding culture, it has great influence on various cultures, although the Sanxingdui civilization has a distinctive regional characteristics, but it is also one of the Chinese civilization, diverse team, is definitely not what the alien masterpiece.
Second, the individual journalist is amazing reference Sanxingdui "hybrid civilization", do not know Why come?
This view is really unheard of, and I said I would not agree to this. Even more exasperating is "Sanxingdui may have come from other continents of the 'foreigner'," the groundless remarks security station in the head of Mr. Chen Dean Sanxingdui him, Mr. Chen is an expert rigorous scholarship, impossible published this sensational remarks. The newspaper's news release, the National Heritage Board raised concerns and questioned Chen Dean phone call from Beijing, Mr. Chen then phoned to ask me who is so irresponsible? ! This nonsense has been the newspaper of the archaeological work of the Sanxingdui had a negative impact.
Ancient Legend, from Shu's ancestor Huangdi. Shu Minjiang River region is one of the oldest living. According to the research analysis, our ancestors long ago a tribe of Shu Mountain Valley south along Minjiang River into the Chengdu Plain, and the gradual integration of the local indigenous population, formed the first of a family of Shu. Shu ethnic relations from the point of view, probably several generations of Shu Wang Shu Diqiang Department, in addition to Ba and Chu nation, the more ethnic minorities and so on Southwest, just as the composition of Chinese family just as multi-ethnic unity, rather than what "hybrid civilization" and "from the other continents of the 'foreigners'."
Third, the individual journalist mistakenly reported seven Sanxingdui gold mysterious symbols on the husband, the spate of mistaken identity, it is should not.
Do not know because the reporter did not read the relevant information, or do not understand, he published none of the seven symbols are carved in gold on the husband. Unearthed pottery, pottery tens of thousands, but only a small amount of pottery found in the seven icons, Sanxingdui so far not been found to be reading the text, whether it is the seven icons of early prototype of text? Whether the text was produced Sanxingdui? The famous late Shu culture, "Shu atlas", is already a more mature Shu words? These are very controversial, is a major issue yet to be studied in depth.

Culture - the mystery of the golden scepter

Golden rod and the bronze statue, perhaps the Sanxingdui relics, the most striking of the rare treasures. Because of this, most experts opinion, the biggest controversy.
Ancient China is not no "token is said."Cubain the "spirit of Heaven and Earth - Chinese Jade Talk," a book that in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the vicinity of the large prehistoric tombs Liangzhu culture, unearthed a ceremonial jade accessories. Including Yu Qi, Yu-risk, jade piers. The "secret" is connected and ready to serve a length 68 cm, with the handle end of a complete jewelry and jade handle. The writer says: "These special jade is the former owner of the tomb to show their status in life token." This at least shows that China token, not necessarily by the West culture. Meanwhile, the tombs unearthed jade "stick", and "ritual pit" unearthed the golden scepter, seems to be different. Because the former is the country's monarch side, which is king of a country that sticks its king, I am afraid more precise. It should be noted, the Chinese rod, a long time. Liangzhu people to jade scepter, Sanxingdui were also gold for the token. Rod, is both a life of appliances, but also a decoration. "Shan Hai Jing Overseas North by" there "Kuafuzhuiri, abandoned his stick, into Deng Lin," said. "Shan Hai Jing at home and through," said both have been the wild, "lingshou real China", which Lingshou stick of wood is good material to do. "Han hole-by-light", "thanks Taishi lingshou stick." Shushan's from the mountains, help with the rod, it is a necessary apparatus. So far, Sichuan Jianmen cane, is still famous. China's dynasties, stick with the veteran has given the practice. "Book of Rites Music Man": "Doctor seventy Erzhi thing. If not welcome, it certainly gives the stick a few." "Plan with the elderly, will stick to a few from the parade." And in different identities, cane decoration and length vary. Opera, the Royal used the "leading cane", although the props, and length of the almost golden scepter. The gold-cane, silver-wrapped stick, wooden stick, cane, Zhu Zhang ... ... variety of very complicated. I Gulou, they still see Daozhang, guns stick it! Stick the rod body and a variety of decorative patterns, in various shapes, there must be more valuable as a cane. Otherwise, how to express their worth? Now that can be expressed as, of course, can represent power.
If the "token" is not the only phenomenon Sanxingdui, outside of that, the more is questionable.
In fact, the "token" is not first appeared in West Asia. In the late Paleolithic Magdalenian cave art in person, there is bone or ivory carved with a "token" (see Richard was based "human origin" in the translation of page 81.) If that is the West Jin Shu Jin stick the rod "borrows" First, no ancient of this literature. Second, the Xiashu no evidence of Antiquities in Western Asia. Then in kind compared to the gold stick Sanxingdui is different from the West not leave even for a moment the ancient kings of short gold rod, also from the implementation of the Egyptian Pharaoh shoulder but no stick thin that the first token.
Summer generation of the founding, "Yu cast Jiuding" Since then, Ding Yi became synonymous with the transfer of power. Ding and Shu Why not use "token", which really is a big issue and should be studied in depth. Xu Zhongshu in the "family of ancient legends and the establishment of public ownership," said: "After a long-term development, the summer people are divided into two, a surname Jiang nation, this is Zhou maternal ancestors. First, Qiang, and later became remain living in Sichuan, Qinghai, Gansu minority area. "Qiang and Di Zu (Gokey people) integration into Shushan's the one. Known to use copper knife, then Cong's stage (see Ren Naiqiang "Ancient History of Sichuan"), but also byPark irrigation, Yufu, to a series of Du Yu returned from Zhaotong, back to a more mature technology of smelting and casting , Pu Yi with indigenous and other ethnic integration process, the establishment of a true Shu. So stick with the gold symbol of this new power.
Let us carefully look at this from a One Sacrificial Pit gold scepter. Its length 1.42 m, a diameter of 2.3 cm, with the beat a goodfoil, wrapping in a wood, and weight about 500 grams. Woods has already carbonized, leaving only complete gold. One end of the golden scepter, engraved with patterns, divided into three groups. Near the front and rear ends are two symmetrical, wearing five teeth KK, ear lobe triangular earrings, smiling human head. The other two patterns the same, the top is two birds, two relative, below are two two-back relative to the fish. Their neck, all layers with a pattern like an arrow feathers. Some people think that this pattern of gold rod, a fish and birds, when the proof is in charge of the king Yufu. However, I do not think, Pet Fishes symbol of good luck, mighty arrows Ling said, this is the gold scepter as a symbol of the proper meaning of power. Now, there is no any kind can proveYufu'sfamily emblem is composed of fish and birds. Gold pattern on the rod, the first group as the king of course, but the second, the third group, from the sequence of view, is the first birds and then fish. It is difficult to interpret as Yufu. Therefore, as Yu Fu's certainly used on the grounds still owe the full.
I was fortunate to Yunnan, Lijiang, the Naxi Dongba culture unique, made some very crude and superficial understanding. From the visit, I learned: from the ancient Di and Qiang groups of Naxi ancestors, there use the "spirit stick" custom. From early in the "Budu" (equivalent to a shaman or witch wishes, history) to the subsequent Dongba (equivalent to persons or wish the government) in the worship activities, should stick with the spirit, and such instruments used, and only Big Dongba to use. "Dongba Culture and Arts," a book printed there are five pictures of the Spirit Rod, Rod section carved statues, statues, animal, floral and graphic symbols. We know that Dongba culture in the long process of development, the absorption of Buddhism, Taoism culture, but its origin is still the old witch for the main culture. Since the long-standing spirit stick in the life of the Naxi people, and Naxi people is Di and Qiang people's branch. Then, in the unity of divine power and royal ancient times, gold stick is inherent in the instruments used in ancient Shu people, it seems that can be counted as another circumstantial evidence.
Also, Guge Kingdom in Tibet, but also a "token" of the records (see Jianlin "The Waste Land Castle").
With the rod, a symbol of power, Liangzhu culture and Tibetan cultures have this precedent. With the rod, a symbol of divinity, the Dongba culture is still so today. Gold Stick in Sanxingdui, has its historical origins. We do not need foreigners to give this honor.
Incidental to say is, on the ancient times, when to start using gold products, there is no clear record. "Shan Hai Jing" has gold, pure gold distinction, said Ming Xia payment on behalf of the properties have been understood. "Encyclopedia of Archaeology in China Volume", said gold and silver vessels appeared later, rare before Han to the Tang Dynasty began to more discoveries. But in fact, to many gold Sanxingdui, in addition to the golden scepter, there are gold mask, Jinhu ornaments, gold ornaments shaped Zhang, Jin "bamboo", four-fork, and more. It features full use of gold leaf, indicating the extension of gold has a deep understanding of. We also visited Baoji Bronze Museum collection of gold, iron swords with gold handles, gold hook a variety of shapes, with its production some time in Spring and Autumn Period, and all the casting vessel. The use of gold leaf, it should be said more advanced than the casting. Therefore, the study of gold Sanxingdui, there is a very important historical value.
