After Sanxingdui receives the world's attention, what work will scholars continue to exert efforts? Which independent disciplines have inspired the study of Sanxingdui?
On March 19, the Sanxingdui Culture and Bronze Civilization Research Center was established in the Sichuan Academy of Social Sciences, and dozens of experts and scholars made suggestions and suggestions for the research and future development of Sanxingdui culture and bronze civilization at the symposium.
How to do a good job in international communication while "going out"?
"People who do Sanxingdui international communication may not understand the academic frontiers; and those who do Sanxingdui academic research may not be familiar with the communication discourse system." Hu Yirong, deputy dean of the School of Literature and Journalism of Sichuan University, proposed the topic of the global dissemination of Sanxingdui culture at the meeting, and in response to this problem, he made suggestions from two aspects: theoretical innovation and practical experience.
In theory, the openness and inclusiveness of Sanxingdui is not only reflected in the interaction between Sanxingdui culture and surrounding cultures, but also reflected in the world cultural genealogy. Some experts have found that the Sanxingdui civilization had some form of interaction with many countries in ancient Asia through comparative studies of Sanxingdui and ancient Indian and Central and Western Asian cultures. "If you want to make a breakthrough in theory, you need to stand on the perspective of global civilization mutual learning, and Sanxingdui culture will also have a deeper connotation." Hu Yirong said.
Relying on a variety of disciplines such as anthropology, Sichuan University, where Hu Yirong works, has established a digital integration laboratory for Chinese cultural inheritance and global communication, aiming to explore the way traditional culture opens up in the digital age. With his relevant practical experience in the field of digital product development and communication, Hu Yirong proposed, "In cross-cultural and cross-context international communication, Sanxingdui cultural research scholars, museum research centers, and cultural and creative development practitioners should complement each other's resources and combine the urban cultural stage to build a diversified communication system." ”
In an interdisciplinary context, what disciplines will experts incorporate?
"Reading Sanxingdui requires not only the knowledge of archaeology and history, but also the study of art, ethnology, and paleography. Knowledge of one discipline is not enough. At the meeting, Yan Jinsong, Hu Yirong, Wang Qiming and other scholars suggested strengthening the interdisciplinary research of Sanxingdui and bringing together relatively independent disciplinary topics into the final results of the project.
Academic circles generally believe that writing, cities, and metal tools are the three major material and cultural elements formed by civilized society, and these elements are clearly reflected in the Sanxingdui culture. At the meeting, many scholars put forward suggestions for strengthening the study of inscribed characters. Wang Qiming, director of the Bashu Dialect and Literature Research Center of Southwest Jiaotong University, summarized the relevant research of Qian Yutou, Wei Xuefeng and other scholars on the Sanxingdui inscription, and proposed, "The Sanxingdui carved symbols provide first-hand information for the study of the origin of the Bashu script, although the number of inscribed characters found at the Sanxingdui site is small, but if more first-hand information is found in the future." There will be value that cannot be ignored."
In addition, the reporter learned that the Sanxingdui Culture and Bronze Civilization Research Center will build a research system in eight directions in the future, such as the difference and connection between bronze and bronze culture, the classification of Sanxingdui bronze, the connotation of Sanxingdui bronze culture, the religious belief of Sanxingdui culture, the symbol system of Sanxingdui bronze culture, the expression of Sanxingdui bronze culture and art, the exchange and interaction between ancient Shu and surrounding areas, and the ancient Shu culture and Sino-foreign relations, and I believe that with the continuous deepening of research and the continuous expansion of the scope of research, The significance of interdisciplinary research will become increasingly prominent.
Strengthen the sorting out of the academic history of Sanxingdui
"The annual inspection we want to do is not enumerated, not A,D., we are going to do a review-style annual inspection." Wang Qitao, dean of the School of Chinese Chinese Chinese Language and Literature of Southwest University for Nationalities, put forward a proposal to "strengthen the sorting out of the academic history of Sanxingdui" at the meeting, which was supported by scholars such as Duan Yu, Peng Bangben, and Wang Hongliang.
Sanxingdui site once unveiled has attracted widespread attention, the academic community on the cultural connotation and religious significance of cultural relics, Sanxingdui cultural sources, the relationship between Sanxingdui culture and the Central Plains culture and other topics have formed a multi-level academic research results, Wang Qitao for these eye-catching academic achievements put forward ideas, he believes that from the origin, formation, development, evolution of Sanxingdui civilization, to the cultural structure, social model, and then to the position of Sanxingdui culture in the cultural genealogy at home and abroad, showing the different stages of development of Sanxingdui research direction. In order to promote the further development of the research industry, the literature related to it should be sorted out and the advanced and limited of the original research should be summarized, and this work needs to be continuously worked on.
Duan Yu, director of the Sanxingdui Culture and Bronze Civilization Research Center, added, "Research without academic history is water without a source and wood without a root, but for some research results, we must fully understand its limitations, so that we can learn from our strengths and avoid our weaknesses and improve our research level." ”
