Today (29th), cultural preservation and archaeology experts from China's Sichuan Province and The Campania region of Italy gathered online to launch a two-day international symposium on the protection and utilization of cultural heritage.
At the seminar site, Lei Yu, researcher of Sichuan Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology and director of Sanxingdui Site Workstation, delivered a keynote speech entitled "Awakening to the World Again - The Latest Discovery and Archaeological Process of Sanxingdui Site", explaining in detail the excavation history and latest archaeological achievements of the Guanghan Sanxingdui site.
Thunderstorm spoke at the seminar
"From a world perspective, Italy belongs to the 'ceiling' level in terms of cultural relics protection." After the speech, Lei Yu told Red Star News that it was particularly difficult for the seminar to invite relevant Italian people to Chengdu, especially Gabriel Johannes Zuchtriegel, director of the Pompeii Ruins Park, who had rich experience in cultural relics restoration and the construction of the heritage park. "At present, the excavation of the Sanxingdui site is nearing completion, and in the future, we hope to step up cooperation in the restoration and protection of cultural relics." Lei Yu said that the stone of his mountain can attack jade, in fact, they are already learning from Italy and learning from the experience of cultural relics protection, such as sanxingdui's concept of "attaching equal importance to cultural preservation", which is a good example.
In addition, Lei Yu said that he did not expect that the excavation of the Sanxingdui site could originally use so many scientific and technological archaeological means, "before it was the traditional way, 'walking on two legs'; now we use a lot of new technology, faster than 'walking on two legs'." "In the future, more research will be conducted on the plant archaeology and animal archaeology of the Sanxingdui site, as well as the analysis of metal composition, the exploration of casting methods, the pursuit of mineral sources, and a comprehensive understanding of the mysterious Sanxingdui site."
