We have broken the traditional practices of the past the window of a single display, a panoramic view of the display, set of four large-scale scenes combination with intent to reveal the ancient Shu social structure and spiritual world of the ancestors, to reproduce the outline of a long-vanished ancient society. Some of the bronze sculpture even fall to pieces. Take a look: the first group of two pit wonders of this group display a real model in the beginning of the two sacrificial pits exposing state as the main exhibits. Generally faithful to the original model, the ratio narrowed slightly. One pit was a rectangular pit left, and right three channels and the Hang Hau was shaped distribution of "goods". The pits were excavated more than 400 pieces of bronze, gold, jade, stone, bone, ivory, etc.. Also unearthed hundreds of pieces of seashells and about three cubic meters of burned bones.

2 pit compared to the 1st hole, not only larger, deeper, and the cultural relics unearthed in terms of the types is still the number should be much richer, not including the thousands of pieces of seashells, a total of unearthed cultural relics of 800 . Among them, the sacred tree, Dali portrait, large Zongmu mask, wearing the crown Zongmu mask round the sun, the gold surface of human head, Humanities and Yu Zhang, and other artifacts are called rare treasures. First is the characteristics of the corrosion of bronze sculpture. Of the existence of the tunnel, two pit toward consistency, the artifacts of the two pit inheritance relationship, the two pit artifacts have been man-made destruction and burning of these factors together, we can roughly draw the following conclusions: buried in two pits in Sanxingdui Bronze Shu country the same reign within the Group, in different periods of regime change; no doubt in the burying process was held with a strong ritual meaning large-scale religious activities, and artifacts have been destruction and burning, it is in The results of the two Ji France debris Ji "and" Pan Liao Ji worship activities.

This group display bright colors and gold leaf, copper tiger, the peculiar shape of the dragon-shaped ornaments, the imposing appearance of a large rooster, more elegant, these bells ... we carefully watch. Sanxingdui bronzes, gold purity up to about 85%. The color of the newly unearthed bronze sculptureusually present in green. The other 15% is silver, a few other trace elements can be neglected. Gold casting process is roughly as follows: the original panning alluvial gold, and then into the molten smelting alloy gold with artificial hammering and rolling from Gympie, gold foil. Sanxingdui bronze alloy composition, can be divided into five types, which pewter copper this ternary alloy consisting of most bronze.

Many scholars believe that the Sanxingdui bronzes Yufu Wang is most closely related the shape of the Big Bird head and Osprey is very close look from the neck of the four hole, it is estimated that the top of the temple buildings or other objects, used as symbols and signs of Shu Wang Yufu third unit.

": gold surface Angel - Group: gold face messengers - wearing a gold mask bronze human head gold mask is Gympie hammer extension is made, according to head shape, attached to the bronze human head.
Sanxingdui Bronze II pit unearthed wearing a gold mask human head, the size, shape and ordinary picture, but as a result of wearing a gold mask, so that these Avatar of pieces of people in dozens of human head Poxian noble gold mask symbolizes the position or on behalf of a different skin color, academics have been inconclusive. This batch of bronze sculpturefalls into three categories on the whole. As early as the Shang Dynasty, Shu know that gold statue, and use sixth group: phoenix Xiangyun - The sixth group: phoenix XiangYun - chinese bronze birds Sanxingdui bronze relics in the cluster form of show at the festival. animal shapes, the most striking is the lineup of Phoenix Bird family of birds and bird-shaped ornaments are generally large artifacts accessories or decorations.
Birds and have a great relationship in the Shu family, several generations of the name of the bird, bird worship the wind can be described as flourishing in the ancient Shu. bird worship The essence of the sun and the sun god worship, worship the sun is to pray for good harvest in the early agricultural society. snakes take off snakes take off - Bronze dragon, snake-crawl Long cylindrical From One sacrificial pits, 41 cm high, the dragon forepaws climbing on top of device, the body tail affixed to the wall, the hind paws clutching the wall on both sides of the tail volume, from the horns of the head and beard of view, resembles a goat.

More information about pattern or ornamentation of the sun in early rock paintings and artifacts from around the world, too numerous to mention, that the physical form of the bronze to the performance of the sun is rarely seen, have small holes on the sun gear.
The estimate is that they have nail to hang up, accept people as a symbol of the sun prostrate themselves. The length of the fourth group: the group witch - the fourth group: the length of the group witch - a great bronze Liren from the 2nd burial pits, sub-portrait and the base of two parts, 2.62 meters high, including base 0.9 meters high, 1.72 meters high, portrait.

Wearing three layers of clothing, the innermost is the longest clothes placed drooping, like today tuxedo. There are dragons in the clothes is probably the earliest "robes".
Portrait chest wearing squares with ornaments, when the law with a class show the authority of the flag. Gestures of the portrait is extremely exaggerated, was holding the grip like the two hands is not a central axis, what is the specific gestures? Particularly, the bronze sculpturehas academic value in shedding new light on the history of the south of pre-Qin days. Or holding something? Take an item? Or two-handed one in each hand? Has a different guess, and also difficult to determine.
