New Discovery of Sanxingdui ③ ｜ Sanxingdui unearthed in distributed characters, who is "he"

The new discovery of Samsung Dou was exploded. Archaeologists preliminarily confirmed a house relic of more than 80 square meters, and one after another found that the portrait of the medium -sized hairstyle, stone tiger, ivory and other utensils. Experts judge that there may be small sacrifice pits nearby. In addition, in the ancient Shu civilization sites including Sanxingdui and Sands sites, a variety of figures of hairstyles were unearthed, including braids and hair. Professor Sun Hua of Peking University Archaeological Board School found that the hairstyle may be closely related to the ethnic group of the ruling class. Then, what is the identity of the medium -sized statue of the Sanxingdui site excavation?

The Jinsha site inherited from the Sanxingdui site, 12 pieces of Shi kneeling were unearthed, and their hairstyle was divided, which was similar to the stone kneeling form found at the Sanxingdui site.

The stone unearthed from the Jinsha site was knelt on a portrait, naked, barefoot, and was tied up by the rope with both hands, and he was kneeling. The head is combed on the top of the head, the four corners are high, like an open book. The two braids behind the head were drooping, and the tied hands were covered by the tied. The body is leaning slightly, the eyes, mouth, and top hair are engraved with a vaginal line, and some positions are painted. Drilling the earlobe is a bit similar to our current ears.

This type of image has been discovered at the Sanxingdui site and the site of the Fangchi Street in Chengdu, but it is not found in other parts of China. It should be an artistic statue unique to the ancient Shu Kingdom.

One kneeling is three thousand years

What is the identity of the stone man

The bronzes unearthed at the ruins of Sanxingdui and the Sanxingdui site symbolize the upper nobles of the ancient Shu Kingdom and in charge of national power. They are all standing on the high socket or square seat, but the stone man is the image of his knees kneeling and being tied with both hands.

One kneeling and one stop, the two attitudes in sharp contrast. Some scholars believe that this may mean that the identity of Shiren and bronze are very different. It should be a lower figure such as slaves, prisoners of war or prisoners. When the sacrifice ceremony was held, they were buried together with other sacrifice and sacrificed to the gods.

However, according to the "kneeling posture" of Shi Kneel, some scholars have put forward another view. If you look closely, you can see that although the stone man kneeling on his knees, his hips were heel on the heel, and his thighs and body did not stand upright.

According to the literature, the ancients straightened their waists on their knees on their knees, and their knees were on the heel on their knees. "Sit" is an ancient etiquette. Since the attitude of the stone portrait is not a kneeling position with punishment, but a sitting position with etiquette, his identity is naturally not a low slave or prisoner of war.

The literature records also echoing such speculation. According to the description of "Lu's Spring and Autumn · Shunmin Chapter", after the King of Shang Tang was destroyed, the world was in charge of the world. So Tang cut his hair and tied it with ten fingers. The people are happy, and the sky is heavy.

"In the past, Tang Kexia was in the world, and the heavenly drought, not for five years, Tang Nai prayed in Sanglin ... so he cut his hair, grinded his hand, and used as a sacrifice. , Rain is so big. "

From this point of view, the soup king of "Sanglin praying" in the literature is similar to the upper -level person who actively dedicated himself to sacrifice. In ancient Shu society, he might symbolize the wizard who was in charge of religious power at that time.

However, these views are not yet conclusive. The identity of Shi kneeling sitting on a portrait still needs to be discussed.

The stone tiger accompanied by it is a rare stone carvings!

There are 10 stone tigers accompanied by these stone people, all lying on their own, and their bodies are gray and black. Overall looks mighty and powerful, natural and simple.

This stone tiger with nearly 30cm in length is the "facade responsibility". The beard engraved on both sides of the forehead, the two "eyes" eyes and triangle rolled clouds carved in the shade of the forehead, which is lifelike.

Inside the tiger's mouth, mouth, beard, and top of the head, it was covered with cinnabar, and the gorgeous color was very vivid. At the same time, the front paws are extended, the hind legs are raised, the rear claws are bent on the ground, and the details are also very delicate. It is a rare stone carving round carving art in the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

The lively shape of Jinsha Shi and Shihu not only witnessed the religion, customs and handicrafts of the ancient Shu Kingdom, but also provided new materials for Chinese sculpture art.
