Wang Renxiang said that he knew the salt of Yanyuan very early. It is in the center of Runyan Ancient Road, Tea Horse Road, and the center of the tea and salt channel. As a top expert in food archeology, Wang Renxiang claims to be "salt culture", so he pays great attention to the archeology of salt source and has a certain study. He once watched a exhibition about the Southern Silk Road on Sanxingdui. At this exhibition, he saw the bronze wares unearthed from Yanyuan for the first time: "After seeing the Yanyuan Archeological Exhibition in Sanxingdui, the impression was very deep. Magic, there are many unsolved mysteries. "

"The archeology of Yanyuan can be attributed to the large category of" Southwest Yiya '. Its position should be on the channel between Shu and Yunnan. Yanyuan is a hub, and there are connections and exchanges from east to west to north and south. I think I think Yanyuan is a very important node. It is the grassland to the north, and it is the connection of plateau culture to the west. The discovery of Yanyuan is indeed affected by foreign, but it cannot ignore the internal impact. "We must also consider internal impact. We cannot just look at external influences, and we should study indigenous culture. Where is its characteristics? We now study Gu Shu, and we will think of being affected by external culture, but they will ignore the local impact. What is the influence of Gu Shu? From the perspective of an archeological discovery around Chengdu, our past judgment has some conservatives and believes that outside believes that the outside world is outside and believes that the outside world believes that the outside is outside. There are more influences, but from the perspective of the Paleolithic era to the Neolithic era, there are already human uninterrupted cultural relics. "
