The origin of exhibition: allow citizens to better understand Sanxingdui

Shenzhen Evening News: Sanxingdui is the most striking discovery in China's centennial archeology. Its mystery has caused a lot of reveries and has a variety of claims. The entitled this time is: "Understand Samsung Dou -copper, jade and ivory in the sacrifice scene", why focuses on the word "understanding"?

Tang Jigen: The cultural relics of Sanxingdui are very mysterious. Over the years, experts have not given a complete interpretation. Everyone is curious. In this exhibition, we intercepted a scene of Sanxingdui culture or the ancient Shu Kingdom. This scene is the sacrifice scene. I felt that the civilization of Sanxingdui could not touch it easily. It was too difficult. However, the archeological excavations in the past two years showed interpreted structures. Sanxingdui culture and ancient Shu country civilization finally revealed the core part. When I went to Samsung Dou too much later, I had my own interpretation -the cultural relics in these sacrifice pits did not come out of thin air, and each piece of cultural relics were intentional. These interpretations were not imagined out of thin air. Prior to this, many replicas of Sanxingdui were placed on the desk. After reading it for two years, I finally read it, so I wrote an article to interpret it. This time, I am very grateful to the Shenzhen Museum, Sanxingdui Museum, and the Sichuan Provincial Department of Culture for letting me interpret the exhibition hall from the laboratory, so that the audience has the opportunity to understand Sanxingdui through this exhibition.

Shenzhen Evening News: Is your paper "Sanxingdui site" sacrifice pit "or" extinguishing the country pit "? "There seems to be the key to interpret Sanxingdui.

Tang Jigen: Yes, the key is in the cultural relics itself: copper, jade, ivory, tiger teeth, sea shells, etc., all of which are the relics of sacrifice. The mask represents the "sacrifice", the bronze stands on behalf of the "sacrifice", the tall god tree, and the medium of communicating the human god. The bronze Zun supported by the "worship" is the product of the bronze civilization communication and integration of the bronze civilization in the Yangtze River Basin and the Yellow River Basin.

Research conclusion: Sanxingdui is not an alien civilization

Shenzhen Evening News: Different cultural relics in Sanxingdui represent the different roles they play in the sacrifice?

Tang Jigen: On the surface, many of the eyes of Samsung Dou seem to be the same. In fact, if you look closely, you will find that they are different. For example, there is a tile mask with square holes on the ears. I interpret this kind of thing as a sacrifice. It has a grinning face, because he enjoys the fireworks of the world and the worship of human beings in the world, showing a satisfactory expression. There are a bunch of people holding things to do various actions. This is the sacrifice; the main sacrifice is 2.61 meters high. He stands on a high -end, four eyes on the hat, look up, hold in his hand, still holding in his hand holding, still holding in his hand holding, still holding in his hand holding, still holding in his hand holding, still holding in his hand holding, still holding in his hand holding, still holding in his hand, holding in his hand, holding in his hand, still holding in his hand, holding in his hand, still holding in his hand. Sacrifice.

Shenzhen Evening News: What does such a huge god tree represent?

Tang Jigen: Archaeological research cannot just look at the characteristics of the utensils, but also contact various cultural relics. The huge god tree is the tree of the sky we are talking about. The bottom base is 0.37 meters high, the tree is 3.59 meters high, and the total height is 3.96 meters. This number is the key to solving puzzles. The instrumental seat below is composed of three "several" fonts, which is actually "mountain". We have a reason to believe that the producers of the god tree should express this tree nearly 10 times higher than the mountains, not ordinary trees. It grows to the sky and reaches the sky directly. Against (Da Lide Portrait) is associated.

Shenzhen Evening News: Facing the mystery of Sanxingdui, many people speculate that it is a foreign culture and alien culture. In your opinion, do you have this possibility?

Tang Jigen: Sanxingdui is not from heaven, but made by the ancient Shu Kingdom, and it was made by the Earth people. Don't always stare at the bronze wares of Sanxingdui, and look at the pottery. These pottery is all daily necessities. These ancient Shu people also have to cook, eat, and drink. Sanxingdui is indeed affected by foreign culture at different periods. It should also be affected by South Asian Indian culture, but the influence of business culture on Sanxingdui at the same time is obviously greater. The casting technology of Sanxingdui is very similar to the Shang Dynasty. For example, the Fan cast method made by Tao Fan, as well as technical details such as casting gold, nested, and other technical details, which is the same as the Central Plains. Samsung Dou is not an alien civilization, but the result of the historical dialogue between the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.

Tips for the exhibition: The focus should be paid attention to the interpretation of culture. Shenzhen Evening News: What logic and clues do the choice and exhibition of this exhibition exhibits use?

Tang Jigen: The past Sanxingdui exhibitions are mostly limited to the display of cultural relics. This exhibition focuses on interpretation. This trend is a change in the concept of museums in recent years, and it is also the innovation and new attempts of exhibitions I have been practicing. This exhibition focuses on the restoration of the sacrifice scene, and try to reflect the relationship between the cultural relics as much as possible in the space layout.

Shenzhen Evening News: Volkswagen is full of expectations for Sanxingdui exhibition, but it is still difficult to understand the content. What should I think of this exhibition? Please give you some suggestions, what heavy exhibits recommend?

Tang Jigen: I did not expect that Shenzhen citizens were so enthusiastic about the exhibition. I heard that the first day of the first day was full. To this day, social development has become more and more interested in culture, which is a manifestation of the improvement of public quality. If you have time, the audience can first watch some related videos and materials, as well as my papers, and do some homework. If not, then you must watch every exhibition board at the scene carefully. I wrote it myself. Pay close attention to the method of cultural relics and pay attention to space relationships. These scenes are meaningful. The cultural relics of the sacrifice came one, and the cultural relics of the sacrifice came. The god tree did not come because it was too large, but I printed a tree with 3D printing technology 1: 1. This time, a 1.8 -meter -long ivory and a tiger tooth were also borrowed in a total of three tiger teeth in Samsung Dou Museum in Sichuan Province. This is the so -called "tiger mouth extraction". Out of Sichuan. This ancient tiger teeth used in the grand sacrifice scene, which was very rare and highly recommended to everyone.
