The cultural relics unearthed from the Central Plains civilization with the Yellow River valley as the core are "quite satisfactory", while the bronzes found in Sanxingdui Ancient Shu State are somewhat weird and strange in shape and style. Among them, some bronze cultural relics in Sanxingdui, in the breath of "strange" and "strange", also highlight the unparalleled artistic conception, which actually appeared in the records of the ancient wonderful book "Shan Hai Jing"!
Friends who have seen The Classic of Mountains and Seas must be deeply impressed by the bridge of The Golden Sun Carrying the Sun. According to Shan Hai Jing Wild East longitude, "In the wild, there is a mountain named Nie Yaoqi. There is a tree in the building, with a column of 300 miles and leaves like mustard. There is a valley called Wenyuan Valley. There is a wooden frame in the Tang Valley. One day arrived and the other day came out, all in Uzbekistan. " This passage is about a place called Tanggu, where there is a sacred tree called Fusang, and there is a sacred bird called "Sun" on the tree. They move up and down with the sun every day.
Due to the preconceived position of Shan Hai Jing, the "Fusang Tree" has become a sacred tree that frequently appears in many ancient books in later generations and can bring human welfare. For example, Guo Pu in the Eastern Jin Dynasty recorded in "Xuanzhong Ji": "The best in the world, Fusang has no branches and trees, reaching the sky and winding down, leading to three springs." Here, the hibiscus tree is compared to a bridge leading to the three realms, which shows its lofty position in people's hearts. Although the ancients worshipped the sacred tree of Fusang, and the literati racked their brains to express its infinite beauty, they always "smell its name but don't see its things", as if the tree of Fusang had always lived in people's hearts!
In 1980s, an archaeological team conducted routine archaeological excavations in Sanxingdui No.1 Sacrificial Tomb, and found a wooden box that had been corroded for a long time. The archaeological team found a box full of broken bronze pieces in the box. How broken are these pieces?
Afterwards, after two days of sorting and counting, the staff always counted more than 2,000 bronzes. Archaeologists believe that this pile of broken copper pieces must have been left by an unknown bronze ware. Because it was packed in a box, it shows that the location of the cultural relics at that time must be very large, and it was broken into so many pieces, which proves that its shape must be very large and its shape structure is very complicated.
Archaeologists have judged that these more than 2,000 pieces of broken copper pieces must be a beautiful bronze after splicing and repairing. Subsequently, senior experts in cultural relics restoration sent by China began the arduous restoration work of this large pile of broken bronze fragments. In the end, it took cultural relics experts more than ten years to assemble these broken copper pieces into a shocking bronze "sacred object"!
The recovered bronze ware is a 4-meter-high tree. The tree support of this bronze tree is a faucet. There are many branches on the crown, and there are twelve birds facing one direction on the branches. Isn't this picture the hibiscus tree recorded in Shan Hai Jing? Isn't the bird on the branch the legendary "sun"? Today, this bronze sacred tree has become the "treasure of the town hall" of Samsung Museum, and its name is "Fusang Holy Tree"!
