After “sleeping” for more than 3, 000 years, the Sanxingdui Ruins site (三星堆遗址) surprised the world. Hundreds of cultural relics (文物) have been found there. Here are some relics who want to say hello!
The large bronze mask (青铜面具) | I look strange, but I am not an alien! I was dug out from the second pit (坑). Some scientists think I am made like Cancong, the first king of Shu, and others think I have close relation to Zhulong, the Torch Dragon (烛龙). |
The unfinished gold mask | Although I’m unfinished, I’m still in style. People who found me told me I am expensive because I am made from 300g of gold. They said my look shows that people of Shu worshiped (崇拜) gold. |
The bronze standing figure (人像) | I wear a tall hat and a long coat with dragon patterns. I am the world’s oldest life-sized standing human figure. Many people think I might be an image (塑像) of the king of the ancient kingdom (王国) of Shu. |
Some bronze vessels | We are bronze cups for holding water or wine (酒). We are also in dragon patterns. Some of us are square, which means we were only used by the king. |
