The discovery and research of Sanxingdui site is undoubtedly a bright pearl in the source exploration project of Chinese civilization. With the continuous deepening of archaeological work, the appearance of Sanxingdui ancient city has become clearer and clearer, and its cultural connotation has become more and more abundant.
The scale of Sanxingdui ancient city is large, the city site area reaches 3.6 square kilometers, and is composed of big city, Moon Bay small city, warehouse bag small city and other parts, such a scale can be called the best in the Shang period ruins in the Yangtze River Basin. The architectural layout in the ancient city is regular, and the palaces, temples and other high-level buildings are scattered, showing the majesty and solemnity of the capital of the ancient Shu Kingdom. At the same time, the city wall construction technology, large-scale house construction technology, and wood bone mud wall house construction technology of Sanxingdui ancient city all reflect the uniqueness and advancement of the ancient Shu civilization.
The prosperity stage of the ancient city of Sanxingdui was about the middle and late Shang Dynasty, and the cultural relics of this period were rich and diverse, with the discovery of Qingguanshan palace (or temple) complex and 8 sacrificial pits in Sanxingdui as important representatives. A large number of precious cultural relics such as bronze, jade, and gold have been unearthed in these sacrificial pits, and their shapes are peculiar and the craftsmanship is exquisite, which fully demonstrates the unique charm of the ancient Shu civilization. The excavation of these cultural relics not only reveals the religious beliefs, social structure, artistic aesthetics and other aspects of the ancient Shu civilization, but also provides important clues for us to understand the exchanges and mutual learning between the ancient Shu civilization and civilizations in other regions.
It is worth mentioning that the cultural connotation of Sanxingdui Ancient City obviously inherits the Baodun culture. The ruins of the Baodun culture period are mainly pottery and stone tools, although the cultural appearance of Sanxingdui ancient city is different, but the two are closely related in cultural inheritance. The pottery making process and the use of stone tools in Baodun culture have had a profound impact on the cultural development of Sanxingdui Ancient City. At the same time, on the basis of inheriting the Baodun culture, the ancient city of Sanxingdui has developed its own unique cultural characteristics, such as the production skills of bronze and the carving style of jade, which all reflect the innovative spirit and unique charm of the ancient Shu civilization.
In addition, a large number of ivory products have been unearthed at the Sanxingdui site, and the existence of these ivory products reveals for us the exchange between the ancient Shu civilization and the southern region. Ivory was a precious material in ancient times, probably from elephant herds in the south. Therefore, the excavation of these ivory products not only shows the richness of the ancient Shu civilization in terms of material culture, but also hints at its exchanges and cooperation with the southern region in terms of culture and economy.
With the deepening of archaeological work, our understanding of Sanxingdui site is also deepening. In the future, we hope to further reveal the mystery of the rise of the ancient city of Sanxingdui through more archaeological discoveries and research, as well as the status and influence of the ancient Shu civilization in the history of Chinese civilization and even world civilization. At the same time, we also hope that through the study of the Sanxingdui site, we can promote the in-depth development of the Chinese civilization exploration project, and contribute more wisdom and strength to our better understanding and inheritance of Chinese civilization.
In short, the discovery and research of Sanxingdui site reveals the rich connotation and unique charm of the ancient Shu civilization for us. Through in-depth research on the ancient city of Sanxingdui, Baodun culture and ivory products, we can not only have a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the ancient Shu civilization, but also a more comprehensive understanding of the diversity and inclusiveness of Chinese civilization.

In the study of Sanxingdui site, it is not difficult to find the openness and diversity of its culture. The openness and pluralism of this culture is not accidental, but the result of the ancient Shu civilization in the long-term historical development process, constantly absorbing the cultural elements of the surrounding areas, and constantly innovating and developing. For example, the bronze ware unearthed in the ancient city of Sanxingdui not only reflects the uniqueness of the ancient Shu civilization, but also incorporates some characteristics of bronze production in the Central Plains. This kind of cultural exchange and integration not only enriches the cultural connotation of the ancient Shu civilization, but also promotes the prosperity and development of its culture.

This information not only helps us understand the way of life of ancient humans, but also provides useful inspiration for us to deal with the relationship between humans and nature today.
The study of the Sanxingdui site also involves many applications in the field of science and technology. For example, the use of modern technology to protect and restore the site can not only extend the preservation time of the site, but also provide us with more information about ancient civilizations. At the same time, through the use of modern scientific and technological means to digitally model and virtually reproduce the site, more people can understand and come into contact with the Sanxingdui civilization and promote the inheritance and development of its culture.
