On December 11, Chen Xiuyuan, a literary volunteer, former director of Sanxingdui Museum, and president of Sanxingdui Ancient Shu Culture Research Association, was invited to enter Chengdu Shishu Tianfu Middle School.
In the nearly 2-hour activity, Chen Xiuyuan told more than 300 freshmen about the discovery and excavation of Sanxingdui, the cultural value of Sanxingdui, and the tunnel of Sanxingdui's new archaeological discoveries in time and space through first-class interpretation and poetry recitation.
The event was hosted by the Chengdu Spiritual Civilization Construction Office and the Chengdu Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and undertaken by the Chengdu Literary and Art Development Service Center, Chengdu Literary and Art Volunteer Association, Chengdu Writers Association, Chengdu Volunteer Network (Civilization Xingrong), and Red Star News Network.
The Sanxingdui site is known as one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of mankind in the 20th century, and the ancient Shu civilization inherited by it is an important part of the development of Chinese culture. As soon as the event opened, Mr. Chen Xiuyuan expressed his indissoluble relationship with Sanxingdui in his heartfelt words.
Sanxingdui was originally the capital of the ancient Shu Kingdom during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, after thousands of years, Sanxingdui was covered with a layer of fog, until 1929, Yan Daocheng, Yan Qingbao father and son found exquisite jade tools, awakening the Sanxingdui civilization that has been sleeping for thousands of years, which can be described as sleeping for thousands of years, and waking up to shock the world!
According to Mr. Chen Xiuyuan, the Sanxingdui ruins, ancient Egyptian civilization and ancient Mayan civilization are located in the peculiar human civilization line at 30 degrees north latitude. From the discovery, excavation has gone through three stages, in addition, he also introduced the interesting story behind the excavation of Sanxingdui cultural relics, showing the representative cultural relics of Sanxingdui, such as bronze sacred trees, bronze sacred birds, sacred beasts, etc., reflecting the nature worship of Sanxingdui culture;The image of the bronze mask with convex eyes and big ears reflects the ancestor worship and eye worship of the ancient Shu people in Sanxingdui;All kinds of copper birds and copper sun wheels represent the bird worship and sun worship of the ancient Shu people. These cultural relics seem strange, but behind the cultural relics are the mystery of Sanxingdui culture and the wisdom of the ancient Shu people.
For the latest archaeological discoveries of the Sanxingdui site that the children are concerned about, Chen Xiuyuan said that this not only clarifies the burial age of the Sanxingdui sacrificial pit, greatly enriches the value connotation of Sanxingdui culture, but also proves that the ancient Shu civilization is an important part of Chinese civilization, constituting Chinese civilization to write poetry, get along with cultural relics day and night, meet hearts, and pursue Sanxingdui civilization with soul-like love.
