preface
The "Qinling Sacred Tree" written in the book has a prototype in Sanxingdui
In fact, in the "Notes on Tomb Robbery" written by the third uncle of the Southern Sect, many of the characters or things mentioned are prototypes, and netizens who have knowledge of history know that the owner of this coffin, as mentioned in the "Nine Dragons Carrying Corpse Coffin", is the Jin Dynasty general PuXian Wannu, who once established a country in the present northeast of the mainland.
Not only that, the jade figurines mentioned in the book that can bring people back to life correspond to the golden jade clothes of the Han Dynasty, and there are some black gold ancient knives, snake-eyebrow copper fish, hexagonal copper bells, etc. in the book, which can find the corresponding prototype objects in history, and the second Qinling Sacred Tree prototype of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is the "Sacred Tree" excavated by Sanxingdui in the 80s.
It is also recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas
There are a total of 8 bronze trees found in Sanxingdui, and after restoration, experts found that these sacred trees are very similar to the "Fuso Sacred Trees" described in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and it is recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas and Overseas East Classics": "There is Fuso on the Tang Valley, bathed for ten days, and living in the water." Nine days in the lower branch, one day in the upper branch. ”
The bronze sacred tree of Sanxingdui, after restoration, is basically consistent with the description in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", but because of its age and serious damage, the No. 1 sacred tree was found in the restoration process that the parts at the top of the tree were missing, but the overall form was that the branches were divided into three layers, each layer had three branches, and a crow stood on each branch. This bronze tree is basically used for sacrifice, and it has a very important meaning at that time.
The Sacred Tree has extraordinary significance
In the "Notes on the Tomb Robber", the Qinling Sacred Tree has a very important role, because it is an instrument used for sacrifice, and the description in the book has another role, because the special function helps the protagonist in the book, Wu Evil, to kill the candle Nine Yin, which can be said to be mysterious and magical.
In the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the Fuso tree also has this sacrificial role, not only because the sacred tree has the role of connecting the celestial realm and the human world, so there is also a dragon guarding the sacred tree, and the sacred tree of Sanxingdui also has a certain meaning, which also makes more people have a strong interest in the Sanxingdui culture.
