"I live at the head of the Yangtze River, and I live at the end of the Yangtze River." Thinking about the jun every day, he did not see the jun, and drank the water of the Yangtze River together. On the morning of September 28, the "Mountains and Rivers, Long Streams and Long Skylines - Special Exhibition of Bronze Civilization in the Yangtze River Basin" was unveiled at the Sichuan Museum. 518 sets of precious cultural relics from 48 cultural and museum units in 10 provinces were assembled in Rongcheng, of which as many as 209 were national first-class cultural relics alone, restoring the cultural appearance of the Bronze Age in the Yangtze River Basin with cultural relics.
This exhibition takes the bronze civilization with a very open and prosperous scene in the Yangtze River culture as the background, selects the precious cultural relics with profound cultural connotation and unique artistic aesthetics, and concentrates on the Bashu, Jingchu and Wuyue in the Yangtze River Basin during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, which have unique temperaments and different styles, but also blend with each other and promote each other's civilizations, and use the special language of the exhibition to vividly interpret the "pluralistic integration" of Chinese civilization and profound cultural self-confidence.
Sun treasure: Sanxingdui newly excavated cultural relics on display
Located at 30° north latitude, sanxingdui site is the largest, longest-lasting and most culturally rich ancient culture, ancient city and ancient country site found in the southwest region so far, and the Sanxingdui culture is an important representative of the world's bronze civilization more than 3,000 years ago, showing the diversity and richness of ancient Shu culture, and is an important witness to the long history, profoundness and diversity of Chinese civilization.
Sanxingdui, which shocked the world in 1986, "woke up again" 35 years later. The dazzling gold masks, strange bronzes, the first-ever discovered silk fabrics, and the newly discovered six sacrificial pits are full of dazzling sights, allowing the eyes of the world to refocus on this. In particular, at the latest archaeological results conference, cultural relics such as "Ultraman", "Husky" and "Dinner Knife" were freshly baked, which was eye-opening.
Prior to this, the audience wanted to enjoy the Sanxingdui cultural relics, can only through live broadcasts, pictures "looking at plums to quench thirst", and the yangtze River Basin bronze civilization special exhibition carried out on the same day, not only exhibited sanxingdui's most representative bronze mask, wearing a gold mask bronze head, but also the Sanxingdui newly unearthed 3 cultural relics for the first time moved into the exhibition hall, shaped like Ultraman's bronze figure with a pointed hat, a strange bronze head-turned kneeling portrait, and a beautiful bird-shaped gold ornament, so that the audience could see it first.
In May, archaeologists found a bronze standing figure in the south of Pit 3. This bronze figure, no more than 20 centimeters tall, wears a pointed crown, protruding eyes, and an exaggerated face, which at first glance looks very much like Ultraman. Zhou Shihui, deputy director of the Exhibition Department of Chuanbo Exhibition, introduced that this cultural relic is very exaggerated in shape, the face and body language are extremely tense, showing the characteristics of the Bashu bronze civilization, and it is not easy to exhibit in Chuanbo.
