A brand new museum featuring artefacts from an archaeological site in China’s southwestern province of Sichuan has opened offering visitors their first look at recently unearthed objects from an ancient civilisation. Soon, over 100 of the Sanxingdui pieces will be moved to Hong Kong where they will go on display at the city’s Palace Museum. The September 2023 exhibit will feature many artefacts on their first showing outside Sichuan. The Post had a chance to look at the dig sites and museum to learn more about the Sanxingdui culture, which dates back at least 3,000 years and which is known for its distinctive masks and sculptures.

I'm so fascinated by the SanXingDui culture and what it may be able to tell us. -Why was it not mentioned in any old texts? Perhaps they had no writing system and it was so far removed from the North China Plain (中原) that there was no contact. -What were their beliefs? -Why are there no depictions of the sun? (which is normal in early agrarian societies. They worship the sun which brings them their food) -Are the human figures religious leaders? -Are the animal figures signs of animism? -So many large bronze artifacts are usually a sign of a large, organized society. A small village would not have the manpower or time to make this. So interesting!

There's a Sun depiction figure, which is made of thin gold sheet, and inside the Sun there are four fairy birds.

@pjacobsen1000 10 ай бұрын

@@mingouczjcz3800 Thanks for that extra info. Very interesting. We can imagine (without knowing for sure) that they believed birds inside the sun pushed it across the sky. In some countries in Europe the sun was depicted as being pulled by oxen across the sky.

If not mistaken, the people during the Shang dynasty are at constant war. And we know that in ancient times, many historical records were destroyed by enemies. They still use bone oracles so their records must have eroded. Bone oracles like the turtle/tortoise shell oracle are extremely rare, not sure how many were discovered so far.

The many masks and mythical creatures at this site once had elephant tusks protruding from the large opening on their heads. They were removed prior to being thrown in the pits. It would be helpful if the archaeologists would insert the tusks where they belong before putting the objects on display.

Sanxingdui doesn't look like any chinese civilization or any asian civilization we ever seen. It has more aztec features. But since the theory that ancient asians have crossed the bering strait to the american continent, it might be true they are the ancestors of the aztecs or native indians.

The interesting is that Chinese civilization is more than 5000 of history. And most of what we see is just Song Ming Qing. The last dynasties. But Shang, Qin , Zhou alot of the earlier dynasties are very interesting. Also the dragon is different.
