The excavation of Sanxingdui cultural relics directly expresses the importance of art. Of course, at the time of the cultural relics, the "era" may not actually be the form of art. However, the form of its existence and the archaeological titles for it, as well as the names of the era in which it was discovered, are all described in the name of art. Historical legacies or archaeological discoveries can prove history, and what can tell the stories of the past is what is now called art. It can also be seen from this that whether it is the origin of art in the present day, or the instrument shape that was born out of nowhere, it is born of a cause.
Chen Yunpeng's works
The recent bronze statue of the tiger head tiger brain dragon excavated from Sanxingdui has given us new enlightenment. Because the forms carved or cast by the ancients all have a cause for life. And the sound of life is basically a sacrifice, a worship of the faith. Therefore, the cultural relics left over from history or unearthed are basically sacred forms. But this playful tiger-headed dragon-shaped artifact unearthed at Sanxingdui breaks this normal cognition. Such a situation may affect the archaeological cognition of the whole world and affect the understanding of history and culture.
After the image of the tiger head tiger brain dragon of Sanxingdui was unearthed, archaeologists also made some statements about this image, but it was very thin. And mostly expressed with artistic vision. In these words we can guess that this is a multi-archaeological cognitive reflection of the archaeological community. It can also be understood as archaeological history, which needs to be rethought or redefined.
The appearance of the image of sanxingdui's tiger head tiger brain dragon, no matter what kind of impact on archaeology or history and culture. But one thing is certain, that is, the existence of works of art exists for the preservation or development of culture. Because culture may disappear due to natural disasters or human factors, but it can be revived again through the artwork left by this civilization or culture. Just like the discovery of Sanxingdui, it basically changed the historical cognition of the past. In particular, the discovery of the image of the tiger head and the tiger brain dragon can even change our perception of mythology. We will reflect on whether myths are myths or stories of a former civilization.
The excavation of Sanxingdui is undoubtedly a questioning of the history of world civilization and a revelation of earth civilization. The image of the tiger-headed tiger brain dragon makes a new hypothesis about the biological chain that once existed on the earth. Here I hope that because of the emergence of Sanxingdui, especially the discovery of the image of the tiger head and the tiger brain dragon, we can get closer to the secrets of the earth.
Discovery and recommendation are what Contemporary Figures of Calligraphy and Painting has been doing. However, due to human reasons, there are many excellent calligraphers and painters who have not been discovered, so I feel that I am good enough to contact the "Contemporary Characters of Calligraphy and Painting". Cultural companies seeking cooperation with calligraphers and painters can also contact us.
