Sanxingdui and Jinsha Anniversary Events Open in Succession, Jointly Highlighting Bronze Civilization in the Upper Yangtze River Region
Scholars reported new findings on Bronze Age civilization as more than 10,000 artifacts and conservation advances reshaped views of early Chinese history.
- Recently, Sanxingdui Museum in Sichuan and Jinsha Site Museum in Chengdu held events marking the 40th anniversary of Sanxingdui's sacrificial pit discovery and the 25th anniversary of Jinsha's archaeological discovery.
- Located about 40 kilometers apart, Sanxingdui and Jinsha jointly trace the development of Bronze Age civilization in the upper Yangtze River region; two sacrificial pits were discovered at Sanxingdui in 1986.
- Excavations have yielded more than 10,000 artifacts since 2019 from six newly discovered sacrificial pits. Items such as the Sun and Immortal Birds Gold Ornament and more than 20 Shang- and Zhou-period oracle turtle plastrons reveal extensive historical links.
- New joint research challenges the traditional Central-Plains-centered view of Chinese civilization. Findings recognize both the Yangtze River and Yellow River basins as essential cradles of Chinese civilization.
- Discoveries confirm deep interaction more than 3,000 years ago, with unearthed materials revealing extensive trade networks along the "Southern Silk Road." Technological advances now contribute to artifact conservation and exploration of connections between the Yangtze River region and Eurasia.
