The splendid civilization of China's five thousand years has a long history in the long river of history, and cultural relics, as the carrier of Chinese national civilization, have high artistic, appreciation, and research value. Excavating relics and studying cultural relics is conducive to the protection of historical culture, leaving valuable cultural wealth for future generations of mankind, and promoting the construction of spiritual civilization while promoting local economic development.
After the changes of the times, cultural relics have become very scarce spiritual and cultural property, and once the cultural relics are damaged, it will be difficult to restore them again, and if the ancient civilization does not have cultural relics, it will exist in name only. This is also the significance of the mainland's vigorous excavation and protection of cultural relics.
However, unlike many cultural relics and relics handed down from the mainland, other relics are more and more clear the more they are dug, and the more they are excavated, the more outrageous the Sanxingdui remains. Sanxingdui ruins are known as the "Ninth Wonder of the World" in archaeology, and after more and more excavations, thousands of cultural relics are in the world, and more and more mysteries have emerged.
So what exactly is Sanxingdui?
In 1929, a farmer named Yan Daocheng dug a fine bronze vessel while digging a ditch, and the ruins of Sanxingdui were discovered.
Since the first excavation in 1934, more than 80 years since then, the mystery of Sanxingdui has become more and more mysterious.
For historical reasons, after the first excavation in 1934, the excavation of Sanxingdui was stalled for a long time, and it was not until the 1950s that archaeologists began to resume archaeological work at Sanxingdui. But the confusion is that archaeologists have not found any written artifacts after a long period of excavation.
Moreover, the experts searched the historical data and could not find any documentary records about Sanxingdui. From the perspective of cultural relics, the Sanxingdui civilization should be between 5,000 and 3,000 years old. This time period is more in line with the three dynasties of Yu, Xia, and Shang.
Archaeologists believe that Sanxingdui should belong to the ancient Shu civilization at that time, but the text as a key factor and carrier of civilization inheritance, Sanxingdui is not, Sanxingdui has not found any written information from beginning to end, which is also an important reason for the mystery of Sanxingdui.
And the sanxingdui civilization is far more advanced than other civilizations in the same period, such as the bronze artifacts found in it, and when the civilization was still smelting soil in the same period, Sanxingdui was already smelting bronze instruments. And sanxingdui, which was so civilized, suddenly disappeared in history, until more than 2,000 years later, a new civilization reappeared.
The strange-looking bronze statues unearthed in Sanxingdui are not like the humans at that time, although many scholars believe that the "Sanxingdui people" were formed by the fusion of indigenous peoples and foreign peoples at that time, which is commonly known as mixed race, but this is also speculation after all.
Although the excavation of Sanxingdui has been more than 80 years ago, but its mysterious veil has become thicker and thicker with the continuation of excavation, perhaps this thickness is the most precious gift given to us by history, although it seems far away to analyze the gift, but this gift is destined to draw a strong stroke in the long river of Chinese civilization.
