From ancient times to the present, the Yellow River Basin has been recognized as the origin of Chinese civilization. It is here that the splendid Chinese civilization has been nurtured for thousands of years, and the Yellow River is also known as the mother river.
First of all, let’s briefly understand the basic information of Sanxingdui Ruins.
The Sanxingdui ruins were discovered in Sichuan and have a history of about 3,000 to 5,000 years ago. The Sanxingdui civilization is also the origin of the ancient Shu civilization, so historians generally call the ancient people who lived at the Sanxingdui site thousands of years ago the ancient Shu people. The Sanxingdui culture began in the "Five Emperors Period" and ended in the Spring and Autumn Period. The civilization was divided into four periods. The culture of each period had different characteristics and habits of the times.
Next let’s talk about the huge impact caused by the discovery of the Sanxingdui ruins.
Some of the cultural relics excavated in Sanxingdui have completely subverted some historians’ original records and imaginations of the same period of history. Some of the unearthed cultural relics are very different from the Central Plains culture. For example, the bronze statue in Sanxingdui looks like a Westerner. There are also many ancient astronomical tools that are similar to the original Mayan civilization, as well as a golden staff that looks like a pharaoh's scepter.
The excavation of these cultural relics is very likely to have a huge impact on the originally widespread Chinese culture, and many Western scholars have used these cultural relics in Sanxingdui as an entry point to infiltrate Western culture into Chinese culture. Go among them. However, until today, our understanding of the Sanxingdui site information is still very limited, and historians have not shown much of the archaeological results of Sanxingdui to the outside world.
So why are historians reluctant to disclose the research results on the Sanxingdui ruins?
First of all, there is no record of the Sanxingdui ruins in known ancient books. In addition, due to its long age and the relatively limited number of unearthed remains and cultural relics, and even no written cultural relics unearthed, it has become increasingly difficult to conduct research on the Sanxingdui site. Therefore, it may not be that archaeologists are unwilling to make their research results public. It is more likely that their research on Sanxingdui has not made any substantial progress.
However, although the research on the Sanxingdui ruins is still relatively difficult at present, we should still devote our efforts to the research of the Sanxingdui civilization, solve the unsolved mysteries step by step, and explore our Chinese culture more deeply origin.
