Sanxingdui unearthed "bronze altar", how should we interpret it?
In fact, the title of this "altar" is not enough to show its profound meaning, and this word seems a bit "feudal".
The so-called "bronze altar", in terms of fundamental connotation, actually mainly describes the way of the I Ching, which is endless.
In short—
The base of the bronze statue is round, which represents Tai Chi and Dao;
The two divine beasts standing in reverse positions, like yin and yang fish, represent one yin and one yang.
Please note that this is a three-dimensional Taiji diagram.

The symbol of the circle represents the return to Tibet, and the symbol of the mountain represents the mountain.
We all know that one yin and one yang is the way.
As the basic expression of the I Ching, yin and yang actually summarize the eight trigrams, the sixty-four hexagrams, and even the infinite hexagrams. This is called less is always more, and it is called simple and easy.
Just as yin and yang can summarize the sixty-four hexagrams, the three layers of the "bronze altar" also reflect that "there is heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the people".
The bronze altar statue is similar to the "no top phase", just like the thousand Buddhas of the Thousand Buddha Caves, and the "Buddha Top" of the Buddha Peak Palace.
"Three" is an imaginary finger, and the three layers are actually infinite layers.
Just as the mountains are hidden as an innate change, it is the change of the sun and the moon, and the light of the sun and the moon is presented
It represents the bright and bright, the continuous, the endless, and the great spirit of Chinese civilization.
