"In the past years, I read the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and the monsters I called them had many different names." - "The Picture of the Strange Beast"
The Classic of Mountains and Seas has long been regarded as a book describing ancient mythology, and the cattle, ghosts, gods, and snakes recorded in the book are just some illusory things. However, with the excavation of the Sanxingdui site, it was found that the Shan Hai Jing may not have been made up, but a true record of ancient civilization.
In 1986, the Sanxingdui culture came out, and the products in the Sanxingdui ruins contain many precious bronzes, which symbolize the ancient Shu culture. According to estimates, these bronzes are about 3,000-5,000 years old, and many of them can be compared with the contents of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
The bronze tree is the largest single bronze artifact found so far, and while we lament the strength of the ancient civilization, his image can't help but remind people of the Fuso tree. According to the description of the Shan Hai Sutra, there are ten sun gods on the Fuso tree, and only one sun is sent out to work on weekdays, and each sun has a three-legged utopia on it. What about the image of the bronze tree? After a complete restoration, there are exactly nine branches, and at the top there is a sunbird. Judging from the image of the two, although it is not completely consistent, the basic appearance characteristics are consistent.
The bird is a kind of divine bird recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and the biggest feature of this sacred bird is that its wings are knife-shaped. A bird-like bronze vessel was also unearthed in Sanxingdui, and it happened that this bird was also a knife wing.
Longitudinal mask. The shape of this mask is really too weird, generally speaking, the mask is designed to fit the face shape, but the biggest feature of the longitudinal mask is that the part of the eye is longitudinal, and our eyes are generally transverse. However, clues may be found in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and there is a divine beast called candle dragon in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and his biggest feature is longitudinal eyes. Could it be that this mask was inspired by the Candle Dragon? If so, then what is recorded in the Shan Hai Sutra may be the ancient Shu culture.
Tattoos, in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there is a kind of tattoo on the body of a person, and on the upright bronze person unearthed from Sanxingdui, the exact same tattoo can also be seen. Moreover, the neck of the bronze straight man in the Shan Hai Jing is straight, and it just so happens that the bronze man unearthed from Sanxingdui has his neck also straight.
On the one hand, there is a mysterious ancient Shu culture, and on the other side, there is a mysterious myth and legend book, is there any connection between the two? Is it true that the Shan Hai Sutra records the ancient Shu civilization? If only one or two excavated cultural relics are similar, we can say that it is a coincidence, but if so many cultural relics can find clues in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there may really be some connection.
