As one of the four ancient civilizations recognized by the world, the ancient civilization of China has a long history, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Yao Shunyu, Xia Shang Zhou... I believe that the vast majority of Chinese people are familiar with this slippery name of the dynasty, and people generally believe that the Chinese nation should have a civilization history of more than 5,000 years.
However, international historians believe that the history of the Chinese nation's civilization is at most 3700 years, and most Western scholars, including some scholars in their own countries, do not recognize that there was a Xia Dynasty in Chinese history. This is because scholars believe that archaeological excavations have not found sufficient evidence to prove the existence of the Xia Dynasty.
However, with the unearthing of the world-shocking Sanxingdui cultural relics in Sichuan, the history of Chinese civilization was shockingly dragged to more than 5,000 years. The reason why I say this is because the chronological span of this civilization has covered Xia, Shang, and Zhou, but its characteristics and connotations are not only incomprehensible to Westerners, but even domestic archaeologists are confused.
For a time, such as:
"Are these guys who look different from the ancient Shu people?"
"With his arms around da liren, what will be in the empty hand?"
"Why were the huge number of precious cultural relics in the sacrificial pit deliberately destroyed and buried?"
"Could it be that this suddenly emerging civilization was brought about by aliens?" "How can an ancient country with such a glorious degree of civilization have no historical documents?" ”
……
These questions come and go, and each one becomes a mysterious mystery that people can't understand.
To be honest, for a long time, I was also puzzled by these questions, because comparing historical artifacts unearthed in various eras around the world, I will find that the Sanxingdui civilization is absolutely a maverick existence, and if you immerse yourself in it and think about it, you often have the feeling of entering the fantasy world depicted in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
However, I have always believed that no civilization in history can be completely isolated from the world on this planet, and that the "Sanxingdui" is like a black hole that is not recorded in the official historical documents of previous dynasties, and its sudden destruction of cultural relics and the concealment of traces of civilization that have existed just show that it is the existence of other visible civilizations that have been particularly "cared for", and it is very likely that some major historical truth is hidden!
If you dig deeper around this topic, you can
The Classic of Mountains and Seas
That strange world is connected with the history of several other ancient civilizations, and even the hidden forces behind the domination of qin shi huang.
Isn't that incredible? In fact, the key clues are hidden in the cultural relics excavated from Sanxingdui...
01 Mysterious Sanxingdui
"The difficulty of the Shu Dao is difficult to go to the Qingtian!" Silkworm bushes and fish, how dazed to open the country! Erlai is forty-eight thousand years old, and is not inhabited by Qin Saitong. Xidang Taibai has a bird path, which can cross the peak of Emei. The earth avalanche mountain destroys the hero to death, and then the ladder stone stack is hooked together... ”
1300 years ago, the poem Li Bai once wrote a poem
"Shu Dao Difficulty"
It expresses its sigh and confusion about the land of ancient Shu.
Yes, the sanxingdui site, which is now shocking to the world, has been born in this realm. It is said that the site is located

Witch color
The strong history, according to the current industry's research (Sanxingdui Phase I Cultural Era according to C-14 and Tree Wheel Correction, about 4800 years ago), has been before the Xia Dynasty, as far as the Yao Shunyu period.
Regarding all kinds of information about the archaeological excavations of Sanxingdui in recent years, the major domestic network platforms have detailed reports, and the information that the public is familiar with will not be repeated.
In order to cut to the theme as soon as possible, I will talk about my own views directly from the cultural relics unearthed at Sanxingdui. That's the first to be the crowd
The mystery of the portrait
Start warming up.
The bronze statue excavated from Sanxingdui is 180 meters high and 260.8 centimeters high, which is the tallest and most complete bronze statue in existence. It is known as the "King of the World's Bronze Statues".
"What is this Great Li man holding in his hand?"
At present, the industry has not given a clear answer to this question.
Some experts think he is holding it
Yuzhang
；
It is estimated that this view was inspired by the statue of Emperor Cong of Shu holding a jade zhang.
Emperor Cong, known as Turtle Spirit, was good at controlling water, expelling Du Yu wang Shu and establishing an enlightened dynasty.
But
I disagree
Because the hand posture of the Da Li people cannot be holding the jade zhang utensils.

Some scholars say they hold it in their hands
ivory
Imagine holding ivory
This is easy to understand, because there are a large number of ivory excavated from Sanxingdui. Moreover, the shape of the ivory is more in line with the gesture posture of the Dali people.

However, I don't think this is the right solution.
There is also a kind of brain-clear conjecture that there may be nothing in these hands, and the shape of the hand itself has its own meaning, similar to a kind of witch dance.
Personally, I feel that this conjecture has been off-topic.
Now, there is a growing speculation that is being exercised
Spirit snake
I think that's the solution.
One of the reasons is that there are bronze snake relics unearthed.

More intuitive evidence is the Sanxingdui cultural relics from the folk collection.

Some friends may ask
"If the evidence is so straightforward and obvious, why is it still an unsolved mystery?"
”
I can answer this question for those folk collectors:
"Because the Sichuan cultural relics department does not recognize this evidence, experts believe that these non-professional archaeological excavations are all forged and fake."
To say this, it is not that I want to delve into the authenticity of Sanxingdui cultural relics, so as to deviate from the theme of this article.
What I want to express is,
The reason why the Sanxingdui civilization has too many mysteries is that the industry has ignored it for nearly a hundred years
(As early as 1929, local farmers discovered Sanxingdui cultural relics when they dug a ditch.)
The value of ancient cultural relics lost to a large number of folk cultural relics has a certain relationship.
I believe that the collection of cultural relics in the hands of some folk collectors is extremely rare and precious, and it is almost impossible to forge. Here, I would like to show folk collectors

so
Is this civilization, which is very different from the civilization of the Central Plains, native to the land of ancient Shu, or migrated from a foreign land? Could it be related to the civilizations of ancient Egypt or ancient India?
Jade, ivory, bronze and gold, these items were extremely valuable in ancient times,
With such a solemn and costless ritual, who are the gods they worship?
Why did they destroy and bury these artifacts around 3100 years ago? Did they have any threats at that time?!
These confusions, in which I finally locked my eyes on that

Later, after some combing, I was slowly relieved.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas is really not a myth
And all this can be found in the recorded history and reality to find evidence, to be confirmed!
