Welcome to pay attention to "Fangzhi Sichuan"!
The Xia-Shang-Zhou civilization has always existed in the Chengdu Plain
Long
Ancient Shu culture, a relatively broad regional culture.
One "center" and four "plates" are composed.
Centered on the Sanxingdui culture (including the Twelve Bridges culture), it is composed of four parts: chengdu plain, Hanzhong basin, Qinling area and the upper reaches of the Min River, and meets the Erlitouxia culture in Jianghan, the Shang culture in southern Shaanxi, and the Zhou culture in Weibin.
Sanxingdui and Sands City both have a golden scepter and a Central Plains-style ceremonial container.
The Xia-Shang-Zhou civilization has always existed in the Chengdu Plain.
World history is strikingly common. Mature scripts were invented and used by the populace around 3000 BC to 2000 BC.
From the Sumerians, to the ancient Greeks, from the Latin to the pictogram, to the road of phonetics, Chinese characters in addition to the pictograms, but also set the meaning of the phonetic representations, the Xia Dynasty script may be complex and difficult to read in the early days, and the later heavenly books will presumably be interpreted one after another.

Cultural unity is a key step in cultural inheritance.
Xia, once the country with the most frequent wars with the Shang Dynasty.
The ancient Shu state, the fang state with the most frequent military friction with the Shang Dynasty.
The scepter culture from the west and the Dingjue ceremonial vessel culture in the Central Plains are in the half-moon zone and the "Chinese arc" area, and the scepter has not been able to enter the "arc" of the heart of the East Asian continent, and the ceremonial instruments of the Central Plains civilization such as the Dingjue have not been able to break through the half-moon zone or the "Chinese arc".
Two semi-lunar-shaped propagation belts with two meeting points.
northeast. Culture and ethnic structure are characterized by two major communication belts.
southwest. Culture and ethnic structure still have a deep imprint of the fusion of the two major communication belts.
Each radiates outward, one facing the inland and grassland, the other facing the ocean, laying the foundation of the overland Silk Road and the Maritime Silk Road respectively; at the same time affecting the Central Plains, the space closed by the two major communication belts is the Central Plains.
The environment is excellent, the population is hundreds of thousands, and the national strength is strong.
The territory is vast. It is north to southern Shaanxi, east to the Three Gorges, south to Ya'an, and even Zhaotong in northern Yunnan.
The center of civilization convergence. To the north, contact the Shang Zhou; to the south, attract many ethnic tribes in the south; to the east, through the Three Gorges, connect with the civilization of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. In the southwest corner of China, the bronze sacred tree that rises to the sky stands tall, the sun rotates and dances in the courtyard of the golden sand, and the sacred birds circle around the sun.
Bashu bronze culture is brilliant.
In the middle of the Shang Dynasty, the ancient Shu kingdom has entered a splendid Bronze Age. An outstanding representative of the bronze civilization in the ancient Shu region of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
There are many waterways, forming ancient Shu crisscrossing waterways, and the Minjiang, Fujiang, Jialingjiang, Qingyijiang and Dadu rivers of the Yangtze River system provide boat benefits for the internal and external traffic of the Chengdu Plain. From Chengdu in the west out of Jiangyuan (present-day Chongzhou City, Sichuan Province), Linqiong (present-day Qionglai City, Sichuan Province), south out of Nan'an (present-day Leshan City, Sichuan Province), Yandao (present-day Xingjing County, Sichuan Province), north out of Shifang, east out of Guanghan land transportation in all directions.
There is a ramp in the north and a yak road in the south, which provides convenience for the north to the Central Plains and the south to the south.
From Chengdu through the Liangshan region, to Yunnan, into Burma, India of the "Shu body poison road", opened up in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Traveling in and out of Myanmar and India, it wrote an immortal chapter in the early history of Sino-foreign cultural exchanges - the "Southern Silk Road".
The Three Gorges Region, the Jialing River Valley, and the concentrated area of the distribution of Bayan production areas.
There are also areas such as the Qujiang River Valley and the lower Wujiang River Valley, which are also sporadically distributed.
As a regional concept, the Warring States Qin and Han Dynasties only formed Bashu.
The same geographical unit, two ancient civilizations with different origins and different types are collectively called Bashu culture, originating from the Sichuan Basin, and are roughly a diamond-shaped, relatively closed geographical unit connected by Guangyuan, Ya'an, Xuyong and Fengjie.
Specific historical reasons, there are many similarities, the Bashu region and the Central Plains region, the local characteristics are more intense, and the name of bashu is relative to the Central Plains. The name of Bashu has been preserved as an ancient regional concept.
The culture is profound. Two different archaeological cultures.
Respective distribution areas and cultural origins.
The distribution of ba culture, along the Yangtze River in western Hubei, gradually moved to Chongqing, originating from the late Neolithic culture in the Three Gorges region. The distribution of Shu culture, centered on the Chengdu Plain in western Sichuan, originates from the late Neolithic culture in the western part of the Sichuan Basin.
"Shut up the Wushan Gorge, Bashu is a family."
The history of Bashu is homologous, the civilization is complementary, the tourism is direct, and the economy is superimposed.
The area covered by the Bashu Cultural Corridor, in addition to Ganzi, Aba and Panzhihua, involves 18 cities (prefectures) in Sichuan, and the cultural integration system stretched out by 7 corridors provides rich cultural heritage and resource endowments for future development, and is a cultural corridor of World Heritage significance.
The area called "Shu" in the Yin Ruins is centered on the Chengdu Plain.
Relying on the Yangtze River, they radiate to the south and north of the great river, and the north and the Yellow River culture, the south and the Yunnan culture and the Lingnan culture are staggered and connected, influencing, stirring and integrating with each other, making important contributions to the formation of the origin of Chinese civilization and the large-scale development of the Yangtze River Basin.
Prachuap Khiri Khan Cultural Corridor.
The traditional south and north lines cover Deyang, Mianyang, Leshan, Guangyuan, Hanzhong, Pengshui, Zhongxian, Wanzhou, Fengjie, etc.; the eastern line covers Chengdu, Leshan, Yibin, Luzhou, Chongqing, Enshi, Yichang, etc.
Golden Waterways. The upper reaches of the Yangtze River are connected to the Min River and Fu River, the Lower Tsing Yi River and the Dadu River, and the natural series connects Chengdu - Meishan - Leshan - Yibin - Luzhou - Jiangjin - Chongqing City - Fuling - Yunyang - Wanzhou and so on.
From the middle reaches of the Yangtze River to the Chengdu Plain, it will not be more difficult than the "Shu Road" that is difficult to enter the river. After the Qin Dynasty, imperial officials entered the river, often choosing to first reach the Jianghan Plain by land, and then follow the Yangtze River upstream.
From Yichang to Chongqing, it is about a month or so.
Shunshui is faster, Li Bai sighed "a thousand miles of Jiangling a day back" .
To the west, the ancient Shu civilization of the Chengdu Plain connects the Tibetan and Qiang sources of the Minjiang River Valley, from the Yingpanshan ruins in Mao County to the Sanxingdui and Jinsha City in the Chengdu Plain, where the genetic code of the Bashu culture is programmed. In the east, the Bachu key area of the Three Gorges gave birth to the oldest Wushan people, dating back more than 2 million years, earlier than the Yuanmou people, Lantian people, Beijing people and other famous ancient humans.
Compared with Qilu culture, Wuyue culture, Jingchu culture, Yanzhao culture, Heluo culture, etc., Bashu culture is like a umbilical cord of Chinese civilization, running through ancient and modern times, one end is connected to the oldest human origin, and the other end is connected to the oldest national origin.
The historical gravity and spatial tension of China's regional culture.
Chengdu, Wuhan and Hangzhou are all at 30 degrees north latitude, the most magical and interesting latitude line on earth. A very special line of latitude in the history of human civilization.
Magical zone. It gave birth to the first wave of five major civilizations that are more ancient than the four major civilizations. Ancient Egypt, Ancient Sumerian, Ancient India, Ancient Haraba, Ancient Chinese Liangzhu and Baodun Culture. The Liangzhu culture was almost contemporaneous with the Sumerian culture, and earlier than ancient Egypt.
Chengdu is at the western end, in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
Wuhan is in the middle, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
Hangzhou is at the eastern end, in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
Cultural exchanges have a very deep cultural foundation.
Harmony. Sanxingdui culture, Jinsha culture, Panlong city culture, Liangzhu culture.
A civilization that has been developing for about 1,000 years. On the pearl necklace strung with the miracles of civilization, the afterglow of the Liangzhu culture, which coincided with the Baodun culture, flashed in the Panlong City culture, Sanxingdui culture and Jinsha culture.
Liangzhu culture was destroyed by sea immersion.
The devastation of the great flood lasted for several years, and the ancestors of Liangzhu were forced to flee their homeland.
South, long journeys, tossing and turning, drifting, to seek and create a second home.
Successively divided into two roads, migrating to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River with higher terrain. Along the way, along the Yangtze River against the current, and the Evolution of the Shijiahe Culture "blended"; all the way, take the Central Plains route, cross Henan, through the "Wuyan Ancient Road", into the Sichuan...
Southeast region. One, liangzhu shijiahe "coalition army" that moved west due to environmental changes; one, two miles south, moved south at the time of the fall of the Xia Dynasty. The two forces gradually merged, and when they joined Xia Shang, they gathered intermittently to the Chengdu Plain to escape the "refugees" who had been forced to flee the famine caused by the war caused by the struggle for control of the "Jindao Xixing".
One after another, it was "digested" by the open-minded Sanxingdui people.
The jade "human head" of Hubei's "Shijiahe culture", the "bronze statue" of Panlong City, and the sanxingdui people who are good at learning have raised their carving knives and looked at wizards and leaders, carving the appearance of local people. Bronze technology was introduced, making copper "human heads".
Bronze "Standing Figures" appear.
The original form of the bronze "Standing Portrait" is also related to the jade "Standing Portrait" of the "Lingjiatan Culture" in Anhui, and even the jade "Standing Portrait" of the "Hongshan Culture" in Liaoning, which has a cultural relationship, and shows the image of the god and witch who is being practiced.

Northwest Territories. Around 4,000 years ago, the "Shi'an culture" in northern Shaanxi was introduced.
Cultures are closely related. Around 3700-3600, the Erlitou culture ("Xia culture") in the Iloilo River Basin brought bronze plaques with animal faces, and in the production process, Sanxingdui people made "subtractions" to gradually simplify the pattern to only leave a rectangular appearance.
Around 3600-3200 years ago, bronzes and jade artifacts in the Central Plains represented by "Shang Culture" were imported in large quantities. The slight transformation of the bronze statue, the copper fortress, the jade ge, and the jade spear became an important part of a large number of ceremonial vessels, contributing to the highest prosperity of Sanxingdui.
Overwhelmed. The sea shells, ivory and sacred tree shapes exchanged from East Asia and South Asia, together with the concepts of the Three Realms and the Yin and Yang Gate, promoted the shaping of the bronze sacred tree and altar of Sanxingdui and the emergence of the concept of Tianmen.
3600-3100 years ago, West Asia and Egypt are not far behind.
The pharaonic masks and golden staffs on the other side of the Nile also spread indirectly here after influencing the Greek Mycenaean culture. Pure gold, full of luxury, although some expensive, still made a thin gold mask, covering the face of the bronze human head.
Cultural exchanges come and go.
Silk from the Chengdu Plain also appeared in the headdresses of the Egyptian pharaohs and queens 3,000 years ago.
The jade objects with thousands of postures hide obscure beliefs. The remnants of Liangzhu, who are proud of jade, were the first to "drive" jade cones, jade bubbles, and jade beads from Erlitou to Sanxingdui; the exquisite blue jade was regarded as an "heirloom", passed down from generation to generation, and then passed on to Jinsha.
The capital city of Sanxingdui was built around 2000 BC, in the late period when the Liangzhu culture was deeply affected by the sea immersion.
Sanxingdui culture communicates and interacts with the Xia Shang culture in the Central Plains and the Yangtze River Basin.
In prehistoric China, various regions formed a "consensus" on cosmology, rituals, and ruling strategies.
It is closely related to the "upper long-distance communication network".
The river culture "double-linked", integrated and reorganized.
During the Bronze Age, the Wuyue region had both the Jingchu culture of Zhongxiang in Hubei Province and the Yellow River culture brought by sages such as Sun Wu. In the pre-Qin period, the two cultures advocated by Kong Meng, "Xiang Xiang And Foam" and Lao Tzu advocated "forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes", collided with each other.
