As the author said, as a "person who did not directly participate in the excavation of the Sanxingdui site", he is more able to "be a bystander".Jumping out of the fetters of the local region, looking at Sanxingdui from the "half-moon-shaped cultural transmission belt" of space and the historical background of time, to make up for the gap between intellectual rationality and new archaeological discoveriesto the greatest extent possible to get close to the truth of history; At the same time, as the captain of the excavation of Erlitou, who specializes in the archaeology of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynastiesLook at the "Shu Capital" through the "Summer Capital", and look at Shu from the Central PlainsIt is also a "connoisseur's doorway".
