Mysterious ancient Shu polishes the business card of Sichuan culture
For a long time, "ancient Shu" only exists in the unknown legends, until the end of the last century to the beginning of this century Sanxingdui and Jinsha ruins have been discovered and excavated, only for the world to unveil its mystery. Magnificent architectural ruins, gorgeous national treasures, highly developed bronze civilization, mysterious and treacherous spiritual beliefs, inclusive and open cultural exchanges...... The ancient Shu civilization is undoubtedly the most shining pearl of the ancient civilization in the Sichuan Basin.
As the two peaks of the development of ancient Shu civilization, Jinsha and Sanxingdui are in the same line, which jointly proves that the Chengdu Plain is the origin center of civilization in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and provides important evidence for the establishment of the theory of "pluralism and integration" of Chinese civilization. At present, the ancient Shu civilization site has been included in the "Tentative List of China's World Cultural Heritage" by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage. Sanxingdui and Jinsha Culture "going out" will also form a joint force for the spread of ancient Shu civilization and lay the foundation for the ancient Shu civilization site to be declared a World Heritage Site.
A wide range of brochures
Thematic promotion to promote "people-to-people friendship" between the two places
The unique ancient Shu civilization booth, "Jinsha Shibei" ornaments, "amphora mask cups", sun god bird jewelry and other hundreds of popular cultural and creative products, brochures and books with the integration of ancient and modern design ingenuity, unique production technology, has become a highly praised Sichuan element.
International exhibitors pay attention to Sands Cultural and Creative
In order to let tourists have a deeper understanding of Jinsha culture, Zheng Manli, full-time deputy secretary of Chengdu Jinsha Site Museum, also made an on-site promotion of Jinsha culture and the urban cultural spirit behind it. A Macao child who came to participate in the Expo was very fond of the Shu embroidered sun god bird, and Secretary Zheng Manli gave her a vivid introduction to the cultural connotation behind the sun god bird, which aroused her yearning for the ancient Shu Jinsha and the city of Chengdu.
Young visitors visit the Sands exhibition area
Culture is wonderful because of exchanges, and culture is enriched by mutual learning. As early as 2018, Sichuan Province and the Macao Special Administrative Region established the "Sichuan-Macao Co-operation Conference" mechanism, and signed two agreements, namely the "Institutional Arrangement on the "Sichuan-Macao Co-operation Conference" and the "Memorandum of Understanding on the First Meeting of the Sichuan-Macao Co-operation Conference", with the aim of promoting co-operation between the two places in the fields of tourism, convention and exhibition, culture, finance, traditional Chinese medicine, science and technology, professional services, commerce and trade circulation, education and health.
Under the guidance of the spirit of "Sichuan-Macao Cooperation", the Sands Heritage Museum will continue to deepen its friendly ties with local cultural institutions in Macao and expand its cooperation with overseas cultural and museum, convention and exhibition and tourism organizations, so that Sichuan's cultural tourism and ancient Shu civilization can extend to a wider world with Macao as its tentacles.
