We have always been called "descendants of dragons", although the true form of the dragon is still unknown, but there are many records of dragons in history like stars. However, the written records are mostly abstract, and the excavated artifacts are more convincing. Since the development of archaeology, Sanxingdui is undoubtedly the farthest dragon-shaped cultural relics rich site, which makes the cultural origin and attribution of Sanxingdui more clear.
Sanxingdui archaeology has never stopped, the excavation at the beginning of this year will be sensational in the world, and at the end of the year again found the dragon-shaped cultural relics, it is really a perfect ending, coincidentally, this dragon-shaped cultural relics just appeared at the end of the year, and its appearance complements the upcoming Year of the Tiger, it seems that it is also looking forward to the arrival of the New Year, indicating the new atmosphere of the Year of the Tiger.
This cultural relic was found a few days ago in the Sanxingdui No. 8 pit, the beginning of the discovery attracted the attention of the staff present, with a height of 80 centimeters, its head horn is long and tangible, but its head as a whole is very similar to a tiger, especially its round ears are unforgettable, although "tiger head tiger brain", but the shape of the entire body is raised, like a dragon that is about to leap and fly. At the same time as it was discovered, a knife-shaped object was attached to the dragon's mouth, and its specific meaning is still unclear. According to the archaeological experts present, although the bronze dragon is huge, in terms of its shape, there is no counterweight in the front and the body body is beyond the base, and if it is to be stable, it is necessary to connect the dragon's hind feet, and at the same time need other artifacts as a reliance to stabilize the erection.
At the same time, a statue of the top-shaped zun snake body was found half a meter away from pit No. 8, which was 1.5 meters high, which was also top-heavy, and it also needed to be relied on to achieve stability. The staff present speculated that two bronzes of such a large size might be only part of the shape of a column. The dragon-shaped bronze of the "Tiger Head" is likely to be a component on the pedestal or base of this large bronze. These two bronzes are still lying quietly in the pit, and after they are taken out and cleaned up, they will surely amaze the world again.
Sanxingdui continues to appear dragon patterns, dragon-shaped cultural relics, in terms of its characteristics, and the Xia Shang period dragon pattern, dragon shape is almost the same, the body is slender, the head is invariably based on animals as the prototype, more importantly, the dragon horn, dragon mouth and other shapes are also basically the same, which is obvious to all in the Sanxingdui cultural relics exhibited over the years. In addition, the dragon-related cultural relics unearthed in Sanxingdui are not as numerous, systematic, and ancestral as those unearthed in the Shang Dynasty, so scholars speculate that they should borrow and imitate the dragon patterns and dragon shapes of the Central Plains Shang Dynasty, and thus be rooted in their own civilization, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the ancient Shu people are "descendants of the dragon". In addition to its frequent dragon-shaped artifacts, its snake-like figure is also an example.
In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the original social structure and humanistic order of Huaxia were established by Emperor Jun, while the original era of the gods of Chinese civilization began with Fuxi Nuwa, who has always appeared in legends and cultural relics of various historical periods as the image of snakes and figures. The worship of dragons and snakes in bashu culture just proves that it must be a branch of Chinese civilization, and its geographical location and humanistic characteristics are clearly recorded in the "Great Wilderness Of the West Classic": "There is a Pakistan in the southwest, there are black snakes, green heads, and eating elephants." The "Hai Nei Jing" directly reveals its origins: "There is a Pakistani country in the southwest." The big sun is born of the salty bird, the salty bird is born by the li, and the post-photo is the beginning of the Ba people. The "big mist" here is our ancestor Fuxi, also written "TaiHao, Tai Hao". It can be seen that Fuxi Nuwa is not only our ancestor, but also the ancestor of the ancient Shu people, Bashu and the Central Plains are both branches of Chinese civilization, and both are descendants of dragons.
