New discoveries at the Sanxingdui Ruins site in Guanghan Sichuan

Province drew the world’s attention. On March 20 Chinese archaeologists (

考古学家

) announced that they

had found more than 500 cultural relics (

文物

) in six new pits at the site dating back about 3 000 years.

So far archaeologists have unearthed different important cultural relics from four of the pits including

pieces of gold masks gold foil (

箔

) bronze masks bronze trees and large numbers of ivories. nn 1986 a large

number of cultural relics were discovered in No. 1 and No. 2 pits.

The Sanxingdui Ruins which were first discovered in 1929 are believed to be the remains of the ancient

Shu Kingdom. The kingdom was a center of civilization (

文明

) along the upper reaches of Yangtze River.

The discovery of Sanxingdui raised an important question about the origins of Chinese civilization. The

ancient Shu civilization that built Sanxingdui is believed to be one of the earliest examples of Chinese

civilization. The site along with the Liangzhu and Shijiahe sites along the Yangtze River shows that the

birthplace of Chinese civilization might not have been only along the Yellow River Basin in north China.

The newly-discovered cultural relics are similar to those found in 1986 as they also include bronze trees

and bronze masks. They further support the idea that the pits were used for sacrificial purposes.

New kinds of cultural relics have also been dug up. For example experts found two square zun (

尊

) a

kind of ancient bronze jar that was used for holding water or wine. They also found cong (

琮

)-a jade item

commonly found at the 5 000-year-old Liangzhu Archaeological Ruins in Zhejiang Province.

“These artifacts show that the Sanxingdui Ruins site had a close connection with Central China but it

also marks an original ancient civilization in Sichuan with strong creativity ” said Chen Xiandan a member
