Chapter 1436
On the land of China, no matter which region it is, a unique dragon culture has developed.

Moreover, these dragons also have something to think about, which shows that these civilizations all influence each other from one aspect and one angle.

It’s like the Sanxingdui civilization, to a certain extent, inherited, learned from, and imitated the civilizations of the Yellow River Basin, Yangtze River Basin, Liaohe River Basin, and the Xia-Shang civilization of the Central Plains during the formation process.

Therefore, the Sanxingdui site is an important part of our country's territory.

It can also be said that the Sanxingdui civilization is a part of the Chinese civilization of pluralism.

Although the Sanxingdui civilization has different components and characteristics from the Central Plains civilization, it can be closely integrated with the Central Plains civilization from the dragon pattern inside it.

Although the Sanxingdui ruins and unearthed cultural relics, there are still many mysteries to be solved.

However, just from the dragon pattern inside, we can see that they are a part of Chinese civilization and are no different from other civilizations.

The ancient Shu people were also the descendants of the dragon, and the Sanxingdui civilization and the Chinese civilization developed through mutual influence
The civilization of Sanxingdui is splendid, from bronzes to gold wares, from the shape of cultural relics to the production process, all show the glory of Sanxingdui civilization in the past.

A large number of bronze objects were unearthed from the Sanxingdui site. They are not only tall in shape, but also very special in shape, forming a unique bronze culture belonging to the ancient Shu Kingdom.

For example, the bronze statues and bronze sacred trees unearthed in Sanxingdui.

The bronze tall man is taller than ordinary people, and the branches of the bronze sacred tree are luxuriant, covering the sky and covering the sun, which has a shocking artistic effect.

People can't help asking, where did the Sanxingdui civilization come from?

Or maybe the Sanxingdui civilization disappeared into history after a brief period of glory?

Sanxingdui is not an alien civilization that fell from the sky. They are closely related to the Central Plains, and they are also descendants of the dragon.

The dragon in the Sanxingdui bronze ware is also a Chinese dragon.

People only noticed the strangely shaped Sanxingdui bronze wares, but seldom noticed that some Sanxingdui bronze wares had a very deep relationship with the Central Plains dragon culture.

For example, a bronze dragon-climbing column was unearthed in Sanxingdui, and there are winged dragons on the bronze sacred tree unearthed in Sanxingdui.

Although the shapes of the dragons on these two bronze objects are different, they are similar to the Huaxia dragons in the Central Plains.

The dragon on the unearthed bronze climbing dragon column, at first glance, looks very different from the familiar Beaulieu, that is, the dragon with a snake-like body and antler-like head.

However, there is a Hongshan dragon in the Hongshan culture, which is very close to the dragon on the bronze climbing dragon column.

Hongshan dragons are mostly jade objects, and this kind of dragon is called Hongshan Jade Pig Dragon.

At the same time, the dragon on the Sanxingdui bronze climbing dragon column also has its own characteristics.

Its head is modeled on a goat, with goat's horns and beard, which has its own characteristics.

Therefore, it can be speculated that the dragon on the bronze climbing dragon column in Sanxingdui has the shape of a Chinese dragon and has its own characteristics. It is an ancient Shu dragon.

Besides, the pterosaur on the bronze sacred tree is a dragon with wings, just like the pterosaur among dinosaurs.

We can call it a flying dragon. Whether it is a Hongshan dragon or an ordinary Huaxia dragon, compared with the flying dragon on the bronze sacred tree, it has a very different feature, that is, it has no wings.

Apart from this point, the image of the flying dragon on the bronze tree is obviously very similar to the Zhongyuan dragon.

Based on the shapes of these two bronze dragons, the bronze dragon unearthed at Sanxingdui was influenced by the Central Plains dragon.

Although they are obviously different from Zhongyuanlong, they are similar to some extent.

At the same time, the Sanxingdui civilization is a civilization that emphasizes sacrifices.

The bronze wares at the Sanxingdui site, as important sacrificial objects, are naturally very particular about their shape.

The bronze artifacts unearthed in Sanxingdui have the shape of a dragon, which shows that the people of Sanxingdui recognized themselves as one of the descendants of the dragon.

Humans and dragons are obviously different species, and Sanxingdui people recognize that they are descendants of dragons, which is more of a cultural identity.

Of course, it does not rule out that this is the cultural identity brought about by blood relationship.

From the dragon-shaped bronzes unearthed in Sanxingdui, it can be seen that the Sanxingdui culture was influenced by the culture of the Central Plains and had a cultural identity with the Chinese civilization.

According to archaeological research, this influence is actually two-way.

Central Plains culture was also influenced by Sanxingdui culture.

Li Bai once left an article "The Road to Shu is Difficult", which made people realize that it is not easy to go out of Sichuan.

However, archeology proves that in the distant Shang and Zhou dynasties, or even earlier, the communication between Sichuan Province and the hinterland of the Central Plains should have begun.

The resulting cultural exchange also lasted quite a while.

If only counting the time for the Sanxingdui civilization to communicate with the Central Plains civilization, it must have been at least several hundred years.

The excavation of the Sanxingdui ruins has not only brought us the splendid Sanxingdui civilization, but also witnessed the process of Chinese civilization being multi-dimensional and constantly developing through mutual influence.

Sanxingdui is by no means an isolated civilization, but an important part of the development of Chinese civilization.

With the continuous deepening of archaeological excavations, the cultural secrets hidden in Sanxingdui will bring us more surprises and let us have a more comprehensive understanding of Chinese civilization.

Therefore, understanding Sanxingdui is equivalent to understanding the ancient history of our ancestors.

The sacrifices and worship inside are obviously a very important part.

In addition to important items such as dragons, ivory, and gold, the other most important thing should be the worship of gods and animals.

Of course, the worship of gods and beasts was not uncommon in ancient times.

In the Sanxingdui civilization, there are many bronze wares of beasts.

The most famous one is of course the bronze beast. This artifact is 28.5 cm long, 26 cm high, and 23 cm wide. It was unearthed in Pit No. 3 in the sacrificial area of ​​the Sanxingdui site.

The whole artifact is in the image of a beast with its head held high and its limbs crouching on the ground. Its hind limbs are missing, and its ears and tail are damaged.

There is a horn on the top of the beast's head, the word "Chen" is flat, oblong, round, wide mouth, and short neck.

It has a slender torso, straight chest, slumped waist, outstretched limbs, hoofed feet, and an upturned and curved tail.

Its body is decorated with cloud and thunder stripes, and its overall shape is strong and powerful. It looks quite similar to the "robot dog" in science fiction movies.

In addition to this bronze beast, there are many other beast bronze wares, such as the bronze tiger.

It is a pity that this is a residual device, which is 43.4 cm long and 13.05 cm wide.

The giant bronze tiger has erect ears, its mouth is open and its teeth are bared, its head is raised and its eyes are glaring, its tail is drawn down, its tip curled up, and one side is slightly arched in half-relief shape, plain and without lines.

On the other side, tiger stripe grooves are cast all over the body, and the grooves are filled with small square turquoise inlays.

There are half-ring buttons on the arches of the front and rear legs of the bronze tiger, which should be used to thread ropes or copper wires for hanging.Its shape is simple and complex, and its charm is vivid.

This not only shows that Shu people observe tigers very carefully, but also shows that the image of tigers has a very important position in their minds.

Then there is the copper snake, which is also a remnant, with a remnant length of 5.8 cm and a width of 10 cm.
