Travel back in time and touch the immortal Sanxingdui civilization.

The Sanxingdui site is an ancient cultural site located in Guanghan City, Sichuan Province, with a history of about 5,000 to 3,000 years. A large number of precious cultural relics have been discovered here, including the earliest gold scepter in the world, the largest bronze statue in the world, and the bronze sacred tree. The discovery of the Sanxingdui site provides important value for the study of the process of early states and the development of religious consciousness, and is an important site for exploring the origin of the multi-element Chinese civilization. The archaeological cultural features of the Sanxingdui site mainly have four periods, from the late Neolithic Age to the late Shang Dynasty to the early Western Zhou Dynasty. Among them, the cultural relics of the first period are about 4,500 to 3,600 years ago, the cultural relics of the second period are about 3,600 to 3,300 years ago, the cultural relics of the third period are about 3,300 to 3,100 years ago, and the cultural relics of the fourth period are about 3,100 to 2,900 years ago. The cultural relics unearthed from the Sanxingdui site have extremely high artistic and historical value. Among them, bronze masks, bronze standing figures, and bronze sacred trees are all symbols of ancient Shu civilization. These cultural relics not only show the uniqueness and creativity of the ancient Shu civilization, but also show that the ancient Shu civilization, as an important part of the Chinese civilization, has developed to a considerable height at that time. From 2020 to 2024, archaeologists discovered new remains related to jade and stone tool production and processing at the Sanxingdui site. These remains are believed to be the jade and stone tool "production workshops" in the middle of the Shang Dynasty, providing a new perspective for the study of ancient Shu civilization. The discovery and research of the Sanxingdui site not only provides us with a new window to understand ancient civilization, but also continuously enriches our understanding of the historical process of the multi-element Chinese civilization. Travel back in time and touch the immortal Sanxingdui civilization. Are you really not going to get close?
