The gold mask, like the bronze mask, has many ear piercings. Remembering Dayu, sanxingdui people masks have ear piercings, the tradition continues to Jinsha Village, and "ancient Chengdu people" do have the habit of piercing ears. Like the young boys and girls of the 21st century, "tide"...
In the "On Balance and Bone Phase", it is said, "Yu Er Three Leaks."
In the Century of Kings, it is said that Dayu "wore two ears and three skeletons, and wore hooks and plutonium for the first time.".
"Three cuts", or "three leaks", refers to the 3 holes in Dayu's ears. "Hook and plutonium" is not a star, but a misrememberment of "lun towel", which is written as "hook now" according to the pronunciation of "lun towel", and the scribe changed "hook this" to "hook and plutonium" according to the name of the star.
"Wearing a hook and plutonium for the first time" is actually "wearing a scarf for the first time". The turban that Sichuan people used to wear on their heads.
"Two ears and three leaks" and "the first to wear a scarf", the symbol of Dayu, the founder of the Xia Dynasty.
Sanxingdui people, with their long hair tied into a hair vertebrae on the top of their heads, wear exquisite splendid robes, with special styles, and their clothes are all left- The eyes are different from others, and the eyeballs are protruding, quite like the "hyperthyroid eyes" of modern people.
Earrings, part of the overall décor.
During the prosperous period of Sanxingdui, it was equivalent to the Shang in the Central Plains. Although it inevitably has the closed and static nature of agricultural civilization, it also obviously has the openness to the outside and the centripetal force of full cohesion inward.
Sanxingdui people not only have rich and delicious staple food, but also a variety of dishes, and even can eat hot pot.
There are also a large number of pottery wine utensils.
The ancestors of the ancient Shu had begun to make rice wine and had a drinking habit.
Tao Lu, a kind of wine warmer, a typical artifact of the Erlitou culture, has unearthed a large number of pottery cups from Sanxingdui and was influenced by the Erlitou culture. The early pottery is slender and thicker; the late pottery is shorter and fatter, the feet are redder, and there are solid toes.

The pottery cups are placed at the same time as the parallel cups, almost the same as the modern wine set.
There is a wide variety of wine utensils. A complete set of wine utensils, the large one called Tao Lu, is equivalent to a wine teapot, and like the tao three-legged cooker, it has 3 legs, very stable, and can also be heated on the fire; the surrounding is called parallel cups, equivalent to today's wine glasses.
Strange shape. "Pottery three-legged cooker", three-legged standing, under the three feet can be heated by fire. The upper part can be divided into two layers, the small mouth and the pocket-shaped foot inside the hollow, can hold water, the amount of water is very large; the small mouth outside and the middle of the large mouth, like a pot-like open part, can hold water shabu-shabu, the shape is special.

Utensils for food. Pottery, pottery high-stalked beans, is also a common set, slender figure, the middle slender part is the handle, there is a shallow altar on it. There is no table furniture, and it is appropriate to sit on the floor, and the height of this handle is just right for sitting on the ground and taking food.
Wine jugs, wine, hot pot have been available, about three or five friends, eat hot pot, drink small wine.
Live comfortably.
Sanxingdui people on the Chengdu Plain, good wine people.
In stitches. It is very similar to the old hot pot in Sichuan. The love of hot pot is ancestral.
Under the pot is burned, the upper and lower parts can be disassembled and combined, and it is recognized as the "essential cookware for home travel".
More than 2,000 years ago, in the Chengdu Plain, cooking smoke rose and fattened domestic pigs were set on fires.
When fine wine flows out of the Wei and Zun, the noise of the Sanxingdui people may shake the entire Chengdu Plain.
Exercise of etiquette, "elements of etiquette".
Wine vessels are often used as ceremonial vessels to participate in various solemn and solemn rituals, and are an important part of bronze culture.
Among the large number of pottery excavated from Sanxingdui, there are many kinds of wine utensils, among which the number of bottle-shaped cups alone is several hundred. Different from the wine vessels yao, jue and xu that prevail in the Central Plains, most of the wine vessels unearthed by Sanxingdui are mainly bronze statues and gourds.

The excavation of ancient Shu wine vessels pushes the history of Sichuan wine forward 2,000 years. The history of winemaking in the Sichuan-Shu Plain can be traced back to at least the Shang Dynasty.
Sanxingdui people have become popular in drinking.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the "liquor" of the Shu people and the "BaXiang Qing" of the Ba people were famous for their best wines.
"Liquor" tastes thin and sweet, and "Ba Xiang Qing" is mellow and strong.
The Shu and Ba people often offered wine to the gods and dead ancestors.
Wizards also need to drink alcohol to achieve a state of vertigo, and the wine is soaked with charm and mana.
The nobles of the Central Plains generally used bronze to drink, and the princes and nobles of the ancient kingdom of Sanxingdui also used bronze to drink wine.
Bronze ware has always been exclusive to the gods, but on wine vessels, the ancient Shu people were extravagant and corrupt.
On the battlefield, the ancient Shu people could not forget to catch some wine utensils and come back when they had the opportunity.
There were constant wars with the Shang Dynasty, and some Shang Dynasty nobles, driven by the Shang King, went deep into the Chengdu Plain alone and unjustly gave their lives. At the site of Zhuwa Street in Pengzhou, two pieces of wine vessels have been excavated, on which are engraved "Mu Zheng Father" and "Qin Father Deccan", two nobles of the Shang Dynasty. Zhen, fought with the ancient Shu people and ate the relics left by the defeat. The ancient Shu people seized weapons for their own use, and the captured wine vessels were also left behind. In the ruins, the ancient Shu people put together wine vessels such as 罍, Zun and 觯 with weapons such as ge, spear, and qi.
Weapons are indispensable on the battlefield, and wine is indispensable in life.
The Xia and Shang dynasties, an era of binge drinking and unrestrained drinking, have distant echoes in the Chengdu Plain.
The nobles and clergy of the ancient Shu state loved to drink, and the ordinary people were also willing to come and have a few drinks.
In the ancient country of Sanxingdui, there were not many bronze wine vessels, only the upper nobility or the gods of nothingness were eligible to enjoy; in the ancient country of Jinsha, the wine vessels were replaced by pottery, and the whole country was drinking with pottery.
Sanxingdui people either taste wine, or paired with one or two side dishes, and mostly the second kind.
Wine vessels are often unearthed with a wide variety of eating utensils, such as bowls, plates, plates, beans, pots and other pottery. A ash pit seems to be the storage cabinet of the ancient Shu people more than 3,000 years ago: in the middle, a cup, surrounded by 21 flat plates, beans, cans and other food utensils. Such storage cabinets were not much in archaeological excavations, and only the nobility or the steadfast houses could afford them.
Many peoples in the world have chosen to reach a climax through binge drinking in the sacrificial ceremony.
The Papago people of North America, making wine with cacti, whenever the winemaking season comes, the tribe must hold a series of celebrations, everyone is drunk, the shaman holds a rain prayer ceremony in the half-drunk and half-awake; the Indian Khampians use palm trees to make wine, whenever the palm trees bloom, all fall and do nothing but drink, an uncontrolled carnival festival; some primitive tribes in the tropics, often cut down the palm trees, and roast them in the fire obliquely until there is liquid flowing out of them, and the shamans do it when they are drunk, and the tribes all rejoice.
One of the world's earliest "tuxedos".
Big eyes, straight nose, square yi, big ears, typical of the facial features of sanxingdui people; wearing a high crown, the crown is engraved with lotus-like animal face pattern and zigzag pattern; wearing narrow sleeves and half-arm three-layer clothes, the innermost long hem similar to the Western tuxedo. On the clothes, the ornamentation is intricate and exquisite, mainly dragon patterns, supplemented by bird patterns, insect patterns and eye patterns, etc., and the body wears checkered belt ornaments.
Exquisitely made, it can be called the earliest "dragon robe" in ancient China.
Clothing fabric, silk. The pattern on the clothes is sewn by embroidery.

It is 25 cm wide and 12 cm high, flattened overall, with thin carcasses; it has human-like features, the head has horns, and the corners of the mouth show fangs. The typical bronze vessel of the Sanxingdui culture has unearthed too many pieces in the No. 2 sacrifice pit layer, and the use is still uncertain.
The bronze honor is not wine, but the piggy bank of the Sanxingdui people.
The screen of the King of Shu.
The bronze figure on the base is twisted, one left and one right, in a symmetrical posture, and the hands work together to support the screen. The columnar on the top of the head has grooves, and the grooves are directly under the chest, which are also used to fix the screen. The copper man on the base squatted, the knees did not fall to the ground, half squatting and half kneeling.
The main body of the screen should be wood embroidery.
One that has been removed is a right-hand turn and another is a left-hand turn.
Comparable to the copper base component of the screen excavated from the tomb of the King of Nanyue, there are also clear grooves in front of the sacred beast.
With the screen, you can really see the exquisite life of the ancient Shu people.
Whether it is placed in a palace or a temple, it is a very good design.
"Happy big smiley face".
Among the excavated ancient jade, there is a piece of jade, which has a special shape and is funny.
The jade as a whole is "heart" shaped, the lower part is more rounded and smooth, and the upper part is naturally formed by two clouds to form "eyes". There are no eyebrows, no nose, only a large grinning mouth underneath, and the overall facial expression is "happy laughter".
The excavation of jade is very arduous, the use is mostly sacrifice and practical, and the shape is mostly serious and solemn. "Happy big smiley face", see funny, funny, and very different from the solemn style of jade. Why, exactly? The people of the ancient Shu kingdom were relatively satisfied with their living conditions, and even the jade craftsmen who carved and chiseled jade did not have worries and troubles.
"Happy big smiley face" funny, funny appearance, the real psychological portrayal of the ancient Shu people.
Art comes from life but is higher than life.
An open and inclusive civilization.
A climax of the early mutually integrated development of Chinese civilization.
