Zhenzhitang press: In 1986, the Sanxingdui site in Guanghan was discovered. In 2019-2020, six more pits were discovered, but experts did not call them sacrificial pits, but burial pits. Sanxingdui cultural relics are extremely exquisite and mysterious. Why did the ancients burn so many precious bronzes with fire and bury them? Are these pits burial or sacrificial pits? Or are there other hidden secrets? These have always been unsolved mysteries!
After in-depth research, Zhenzhitang came to the conclusion that except for the No. 1 pit, the rest of the pits were hastily burned and buried before the fall of the ancient Shu Kingdom in Sanxingdui! For more information, please read.
The mysterious Sanxingdui burial pit, what is it used for?
Why were the other pits except for the No. 1 pit hastily burned and buried before the fall of the ancient Shu Kingdom? Let's take a look at the news first:
According to a report by surging news reporter Wang Wenjuan on July 7, 2022: The newly discovered "top snake body bronze statue" in Sanxingdui No. 8 sacrificial pit and the "bronze bird's foot statue remnant" unearthed in No. 2 sacrificial pit 36 years ago were successfully matched, and it was named "Bird's Foot Bending Body Top Statue of God".
This statue, Zhenzhitang wrote an article a few days ago pointing out that it should actually be called "Bronze Xiahou Clan Peak Statue".
Zhenzhitang: In the excavation report of "Sanxingdui Sacrificial Pit" published in 1999 in the last century, experts pointed out:
The burial age of Pit 1 is between the end of Yinxu Phase I and Yinxu Phase II;
The burial age of Pit 2 should be between the second and third and fourth phases of Yinxu.
Four of the six most recent pits have the latest dating data:
Zhenzhitang: Experts have concluded that these subsequent burial pits were all from the late Shang and early Zhou periods. We know that the exact date of the destruction of Shang in the Western Zhou Dynasty has been verified by the "Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasty Project" as 1046 BC. The lower limit of these burial pits was in 1012 BC, that is, soon after the Western Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang, these bronzes were burned and buried in the pits.
The statue of the head of the snake body of the Xia Hou clan can prove that the burial age of the No. 2 pit is the same as that of the No. 8 pit, so it is undoubtedly buried in the late Shang and early Zhou periods. The picture below is a picture of the site of Pit 2, which was excavated in 1986. At the top of the list is the famous large bulge mask.
Shinchido: Why do scholars now call these pits burial pits?
First of all, it is certainly not a human tomb. Because the remains of cows and pigs were unearthed in the pit, that is, there were no bones.
Second, it does not seem to be necessarily a sacrificial pit, although it seems to be characteristic of a sacrificial pit. It seems to make some sense to say that it was a sacrificial pit, and these bronzes were first destroyed, then thrown into the pit and burned, and then buried with earth. It conforms to the Xi of the ancients. The so-called burning offering is fire. But to say that it is not a sacrificial pit seems to have a more valid reason!
Because the bronzes and other artifacts unearthed in the pit are too magical and weird. The bronze Dali people, bronze masks and other cultural relics inside obviously should belong to the offerings in the temple, and it stands to reason that they should not be burned as sacrifices.
Moreover, the six pits found later were of different sizes and irregular. And the utensils dug out of different pits can be combined together. It can be seen that these bronzes were buried at the same time. It seems that the burial was very hasty, so there are seven small pits.
These bronzes were hurriedly burned and buried when the ancient Shu Kingdom fell
Why did Zhenzhitang come to such a shocking conclusion? It was really not a whim, and it went through many iterations during this period. The successful splicing of the statue of the head of the snake body of the Xia Hou family solved the key to the mystery of Sanxingdui's burial.
Pit No. 1 is undoubtedly a sacrificial pit in the early days of the ancient Shu Kingdom, but Pits 2-8 were burned and buried before the fall of the ancient kingdom of Sanxingdui. The age of these burial pits points to the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, and the Sanxingdui Ancient Shu Kingdom fell during this time. According to the record of "Shangshu", there was still Shu in the Eight Kingdoms of the Pastoral Oath during the period of King Wu's war, which can only show that the ancient Shu Kingdom was indeed destroyed after the establishment of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Why are these bronzes buried at the time of the death of the country? This is inferred from the professional experience of Shinchido.
First of all, the vast majority of these bronzes were not sacrifices, but statues, altars, priests, and other artifacts that should have belonged to the temple. If it weren't for the Dead Kingdom, these bronze statues and altars would have been moved to the new temple.
Secondly, these seven pits are of different sizes and irregular, and should have been dug in a hurry at the same time.
Thirdly, many of the bronzes were buried in different pits with different heads, which shows that they were buried and burned in a hurry, not like a conscious sacrificial act, but very similar to the panicked behavior before the death of the country.
Fourth, according to common sense, sacrifices should be buried in one pit at a time instead of seven pits. The earliest discovery of Pit 1 is an example. The financial resources spent on seven pits at one time are staggering and unreasonable. The only plausible explanation is that for the last time, people are leaving after the burning.
Machido: It's not difficult to draw the above conclusions, but here's the key to the problem!
Who was the one who destroyed the ancient Shu Kingdom? Could it be that the Shu people's own back road was taken by other countries? Or did they lure the wolf into the house and be attacked and destroyed by the Zhou people after the alliance of the merchants? This question puzzled Zhenzhitang.
The possibility of the Zhou people destroying Shu
There is indeed a record of the Zhou people destroying Shu in the history books. "Yi Zhou Shu Shi Prisoner Solution" said, "Gengzi, the new wilderness is cut down in Shu." ”
But 5 days later, on the day of Yisi, Chen Ben, Xinhuang Belt Shu, and Mo arrived as monarchs. In this way, it seems that Zhou Jiangxin's desolation is not Sichuan Shu.
But Sanxingdui is indeed dead. Who is it that exterminated Shu?
After Zhenzhitang's in-depth and detailed study of ancient books, the suspect was found!
Pakistan!
Zhenzhitang: Sichuan, also known as Bashu.
"Huayang National Chronicles" recorded: "King Wu of Zhou fell... The teacher is brave and sharp, singing and dancing to Ling Yinren, and the former disciples defected. Therefore, it is said in the world, 'King Wu is warned, and the song and dance are also carried out'. ”
The same book also recorded: "Yuhui princes, Bashu to Yan." "The Bamboo Book Chronicle" also contains: "In the eighth year of the emperor's enlightenment, the emperor made Meng Tu Ruba to litigate. ”
Pakistan has the same long history as Shu, and there is a Pakistani side in the oracle bone inscription of Yinxu. See "The Collection of Oracle Bones Newly Obtained in Beijing and Tianjin after the War", Hu Houxuan, an expert on the history of the Shang Dynasty, speculated that the "Pakistan side" should be in the northwest of Yin, about Shaanxi. The boundary mountain of Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces, named Daba Mountain, should be the habitat of the Ba people since ancient times.
Zhenzhitang: Why don't the Ba people see the Eight Kingdoms of the Pastoral Oath? The biggest possibility is that before the destruction of the Shang Dynasty, the Ba people had already submitted to the Western Zhou Dynasty. There's proof of this!
"The Ninth Year of Zuo Chuan Zhaogong" records: "And Wuwang Keshang, Ba, Pu, Chu, Deng, and Wunan Tuye." ”
The ferocious Ba people were used as strikers by King Wu of Zhou. The teacher is going, and the former disciples are defecting.
"Huayang Guozhi Ba Zhi" records: "King Wu is both Keyin, and his Zongji is sealed in Ba, and he is a son. ”
After the destruction of the Shang Dynasty, the country of Ba ushered in a new monarch, as the Bazi of the Western Zhou royal family surnamed Ji. It was he who destroyed the Sanxingdui Ancient Shu Kingdom.
The past life of the Pakistani people and the Pakistani country
Zhenzhitang: It is really not groundless to say that Pakistan destroyed Shu. Sichuan people know:
1. The Ba people are still martial, and the Shu people are heavy. Ba has generals, and Shu has phases. There are more weapons in the Ba people ruins, and rare weapons in the Sanxingdui ruins of ancient Shu.
The "Early Ba Culture" and the "Early Shu Culture" have different ethnic origins. Ba culture is represented by the site of the White Temple in Yichang, Hubei. Shu culture originated from the Baodun culture in western Sichuan.
2. The cultural outlook of the two is very different.
From the point of view of pottery, the Ba culture, the main cooking utensils are folded along the neck and belly pot and kettle, and the Shu culture is a small flat-bottomed jar. Antiquity was clearly not a race.
3. The Ba cultural area is mountainous and is a hunting nation, and the Shu cultural area is mostly a plain and an agricultural nation.
What is the origin of Pakistan?
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas": "There is a country of Ba in the southwest, too much of the salty bird, the salty bird out of the centi, the multiplication of the li, the light after the birth of the Ba people", the totem of Ba is: white tiger, Ba snake. Ba snake is also known as snake cultivation, and it has become famous during the Di Yao period.
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Southern Classic of the Sea": "The snake eats elephants. ”
《浔阳记》载：“羿屠巴蛇于洞庭。 ”
"Huainanzi" this scripture says: Yao is to make Yi... Break the snake in the cave court.
The rest of the snake moved west to Langzhong, along the Jialing River, and later became the Banyu Barbarians, also known as the people.
Zhenzhitang: The white tiger is another totem of the Ba people, which originated from the Emperor of the Ba people. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty contains: "When the emperor dies, the soul of the world is a white tiger." "Ba Shi drank human blood with a tiger, and then worshiped people. ”
"The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Emperor Huan": "White Horse Qiang... Yizhou stabbed the history rate of the banyu barbarian to break it. ”
Because of Gaozu's revenge, he focused on shooting white tigers. The household is forty years old. The old name is the White Tiger Fuyi. One is said to be barbaric. Today, the so-called "Tiger Son" is also. "Huayang National Chronicles"
Zhenzhitang: The Ba people are warlike, also known as fangren.
Jin Ren Guo commented on "Bayu" and said: "There is Yu water in Brazil, and the fangs live on it, all of them are brave and good at dancing, and Han Gaozu is peaceful and three Qin, and later made Lefu Xi because of the name Bayu dance." ”
"Huayang Guozhi Ba Zhi" says: Hanxing... The world name White Tiger Fuyi, a board wood shield barbarian. There is Yushui in Lang, strong and brave by nature, at the beginning of the Han striker, sharp and joyful dance. ”
There is an account in "New Tang Dynasty Book: Nanban": "There are fangs in Rong and Lujian... , fight with a license. ”
The "Rong" here refers to Rongzhou, and the state is governed in present-day Yibin, Sichuan, and "Lu" refers to Luzhou.
It is only 260 kilometers from Langzhong to Sanxingdui
The Ba people are fangs, fierce and warlike. And the Sanxingdui ancients were Shu people, who were good at literature and martial arts. In the process of King Wu's attack, the Ba people charged for the King of Zhou, and the weakness of the Shu soldiers and the gold of the Shu people should have been observed by the generals of the Ba division at this time.
There are basically no weapons in the cultural relics unearthed in Sanxingdui, indicating that the ancient Shu State is indeed a country with weak force. There are so many precious bronzes in Sanxingdui, which shows that the ancient Shu Kingdom was extremely wealthy.
Zhenzhitang: (Ba) Fangren, a people who can kill even their fathers. What will it do in the face of a weak and rich neighbor? "Wei Shu.Fang Biography": "The fang, from the Han Dynasty to Qiong, Zhen... The Fang King... Good to kill... Sex is the same as that of beasts, as for wrath, father and son do not avoid each other, only those who have a blade in their hands will kill them first... The person who is killed has beautiful sideburns and beard is stripped of his face, and caged in bamboo, and dry, and called the ghost to encourage him. ”
Therefore, after the destruction of the Shang Dynasty, as soon as the Ba State was established, Ba Zi (the monarch of the Ba State) quickly moved westward and hit the city of the ancient Shu State. The monarch of the ancient Shu Kingdom had no power to fight back, so he could only burn and bury his most precious bronze statues and altars and other utensils before the city was broken, and fled.
Some readers want to ask, where is Pakistan? Is it adjacent to the ancient Shu country of Sanxingdui? You know, the road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky. Don't worry, what Zhenzhitang pays attention to is the chain of evidence!
Zhenzhitang: Where did Pakistan become a country? "Huayang National Chronicles" recorded: "Although Bazi was the capital of Jiangzhou (now Yuzhong District), or Zhidianjiang (now Hechuan District), or Zhipingdu (now Fengdu County), he later ruled Langzhong (now Langzhong City). ”
Zhenzhitang: Ying Shao of the Eastern Han Dynasty said in "Customs and Customs": "There is Chongqing water in Lang... Gao Zu is happy to be fierce"
"Huayang National Chronicles" records that Pakistan: "Its land, east to Yufu, west to Yandao, north to Hanzhong, South Pole Qianfu." "Since it is generally believed that Pakistan is in the east of Shu, we focus on where Pakistan is to the west.
"Hanshu Geographical Chronicles" recorded: "Yandao, the land is in present-day Yibin County, Sichuan. ”
The most important thing is Langzhong. The Ba people have lived in Langzhong since ancient times. From Langzhong to Chengdu, there is the Chenglang Ancient Road. As shown in the figure below.
And Langzhong to Guanghan Sanxingdui is only 260 kilometers!
epilogue
Zhenzhitang: At this point in the article, the truth is revealed. About 3,000 years ago, the ancient Shu Kingdom of Sanxingdui in Guanghan, located in the Sichuan Basin, sent troops to join the coalition army of the Western Zhou Dynasty. In the army, the wealth of the Shu people, the worship of the gods of the Shu people, and the weakness of the Shu army were seen by the fierce and belligerent Ba (Fang) people.
After the destruction of the Shang Dynasty, King Wu of the Western Zhou Dynasty gave Ji the surname Bazi (monarch). The border has reached Langzhong, which is only more than 200 kilometers away from Sanxingdui, the capital of the ancient Shu Kingdom. The greedy and warlike state of Pakistan immediately found an excuse to march westward! The ancient Shu monarch, who had no danger to defend and was powerless to resist, was forced to burn the bronze statues and altars in the temple, as well as valuables such as ivory and gold, and fled elsewhere.
The Sanxingdui burial pit is actually a temple artifact that was forced to burn down when the ancient Shu Kingdom fell. This may be the historical truth of the Sanxingdui mystery.
