As Sanxingdui unearthed more and more refreshing things, people's enthusiasm for discussion of Sanxingdui has become more and more enthusiastic, especially a bronze standing person unearthed in Sanxingdui, which has attracted the attention of many people.
Bronze Liren was empty-handed, it looked like he should have been holding something in his hand, why was it that now that the thing was gone, what should he have been holding in his hand?
The steering wheel said
With this doubt, many netizens launched a fierce discussion, the most interesting of which is the steering wheel, because among the cultural relics unearthed in Sanxingdui, one is the steering wheel, many people are more curious about this, why was there a steering wheel more than three thousand years ago? Could it be that people were already driving at that time?
With this curiosity, people began to boldly assume that the thing that the bronze standing man was holding in his hand should be the steering wheel, because only the steering wheel could show the handsomeness of the bronze standing man more.
But the problem soon came, the size and thickness of this steering wheel is obviously not in line with the size of the hole in the hands of the bronze standing man, if the bronze standing man holds this steering wheel, it is obvious that the hand is still empty, this is obviously unlikely, so the answer to the steering wheel can be temporarily excluded.
Brain-opening statement
In addition to the steering wheel, many netizens began to open their minds, thinking that the bronze standing person may be holding a brush in his hand, because no matter what era, people's desire for knowledge is endless, the bronze standing person holds the brush, representing their yearning for knowledge, and at the same time representing the yearning for knowledge in that era.
However, it is obvious that this assumption is not valid, because according to historical development, there was no such thing as a brush for writing more than three thousand years ago, and even the words at that time were difficult for us to figure out, let alone write with a brush, which is even more nonsense.
Since the hand is not a brush, according to some descriptions in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", people in the ancient period, in fact, in many aspects of the technology is still very advanced, so is there such a possibility, that is, the bronze liren is holding a cannon barrel, he is a soldier with a cannon barrel intending to participate in the war?
This kind of statement is naturally brain-opening, but from a historical point of view, it still seems a bit funny and disrespectful to the facts, first of all, we do not have any evidence to prove that there was ammunition and other things more than three thousand years ago, and secondly, we do not have any information to mention the existence of cannon barrels in ancient times, even if the brain-opening "Classic of Mountains and Seas", do not dare to record so, this assumption is all after dinner entertainment, do not take it seriously.
Dragon Snake said
Since it is not a steering wheel, nor a brush or a cannon barrel, what exactly is the bronze standing man holding in his hand?
According to the patterns on some cultural relics excavated from Sanxingdui, the bronze liren holding something in his hand seems to be something similar to a dragon and snake.
The size of this thing was about the size of the hole in the bronze liren's hand, and it was basically concluded that the size of this dragon snake should be similar to that of today's pythons and other animals.
In other words, the bronze erector may be holding a python in his hand, and the ancients had a natural reverence for things like dragons and snakes, and many ancients worshipped it as a totem.
From this point of view, it is still reasonable for the bronze liren to hold a python in his hand, but in the ancient Shu (Sichuan) region more than 3,000 years ago, will there be such a python?
According to today's geographical environment and climate, the Sichuan region is obviously not suitable for the survival of pythons, so we think that the hypothesis of the bronze liren holding a python in their hands is more likely, but it also needs to be continued to be examined to find out the truth.
epilogue
The world is full of all kinds of strange things, the Chinese civilization has a history of at least five thousand years, but there are still very few histories that we can know and figure out now, and in the unknown history, what wonderful stories exist, we do not know.
We only have to maintain a sense of reverence for the world and history at all times, use evidence and physical objects to slowly understand those lost histories, perhaps with the continuous appearance of sanxingdui Chinese, our understanding of that history will become more and more profound, and we may even find something unprecedented, it is not impossible!
