I am fortunate to see a thousand years at a glance

The Sanxingdui Ruins are located on the south bank of the Yazi River in the northwest of Guanghan City, Sichuan Province, covering an area of 12 square kilometers, with a history of 5,000 to 3,000 years. It is the largest, longest-lasting, and most culturally rich ancient city, ancient country, and ancient Shu cultural site discovered in the southwest region. In July 2021, it was included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List. Bronzes: The bronzes of Sanxingdui are famous for their unique shapes and exquisite craftsmanship. Among them, the bronze sacred tree is one of the most representative cultural relics of Sanxingdui, with a height of 3.96 meters, and a birdman statue standing on the branches, symbolizing the ancient Shu people's worship and awe of nature. Bronze masks are also an important representative of Sanxingdui bronzes. Most of them have exaggerated eyes and expressions, showing the unique aesthetic concepts and religious beliefs of the ancient Shu people. Jade: The jade unearthed in Sanxingdui includes jade zhang, jade sword, etc. The jade is exquisitely made and has high artistic value and cultural connotation. Goldware such as the "Sun God Bird" gold ornament, etc., attracts countless people's attention with its exquisite patterns and craftsmanship. These goldware not only demonstrate the ancient Shu people's superb metal processing technology but also reflect their pursuit and yearning for beauty. Visiting the Sanxingdui Museum is an unforgettable experience. As soon as you enter the museum, you will be deeply attracted by various exquisite exhibits. From bronzes to goldware to jade, you can not only appreciate the wisdom and creativity of the ancient Shu people, but each cultural relic seems to tell the story of that era, making people feel as if they have traveled through time and space back to that distant era.
