Since the sanxingdui archaeological excavation was launched again, almost any topic about "Sanxingdui" has been a hot topic on the Internet. However, the Red Star News reporter recently found that a group of "Sanxingdui cultural relics" that have never appeared in the Sanxingdui Museum or sanxingdui excavations are mixed in.

Ancient Shu people shoot arrows, double hugs and kisses...
"Sanxingdui cultural relics" that you have never seen before
It is understood that the series of "cultural relics" comes from a book called "Three-Star Exploration of Jade", published by Shanghai Bookstore Publishing House, with Zhong Ming and Zhou Nanquan as the editors, and the editors are Xiamen Dianshizhai Art Museum and Xiamen Ancient Culture and Art Museum. The book is officially priced at 260 yuan, and it is currently available for purchase on Confucius's old books online, ranging from 45 yuan to 295 yuan.
On the book page, there is also a paragraph that reads: "The "Three-Star Jade Exploration" jointly compiled by Xiamen Dianshizhai Art Museum and Xiamen Ancient Culture and Art Museum contains more than 500 pictures of jade artifacts unearthed from Sanxingdui. Five introductory texts on Sanxingdui culture were collected to deeply clarify the context, historical significance and value of Sanxingdui culture. It is quite connoisseuristic and is an informative reading for the study of Samsung culture and jade. ”

If you want to understand this batch of "Sanxingdui cultural relics", you may first find its "real body". However, it is a pity that the Xiamen Ancient Culture and Art Museum, which once exhibited these "cultural relics", has now closed its doors, and the specific reasons are unknown.
However, the Red Star News reporter found the introduction of related artifacts from the Weibo account @ Ancient Culture and Art Museum (once certified as: Xiamen Ancient Culture Communication Co., Ltd.).
For example, in the "Ancient Tibetan Sanxingdui Ancestral Ritual Combination Sculpture", it is introduced: The Qing "Hanzhou Zhi Chuanzhi" says: "There are three stars in the fifteenth place in the west of The Zhixi. "It can be seen that Guanghan Sanxingdui has long had its name. Huayang Guozhi Shu Zhi Yun: "Shu zhi is the country... Zhou Lost Gangji, Shu Xian was crowned king... There are Silkworm Bushes of the Marquis of Shu, whose eyes are longitudinal, and who are called kings at the beginning. "Previously, the mysterious ancient Shu kingdom was only sporadically recorded in ancient books, until the beginning of the last century, a peasant's accidental discovery opened the mystery of the ancient Shu country.

The artifact named "Double Kiss" on "Three-Star Jade Exploration" is also introduced on Weibo: #Love Across the Millennium # In the jade of the ancient period, there are few works that express people's daily lives, and there are even fewer love themes. This ancient collection of Sanxingdui male and female hugging jade statue, in the shape of men and women embracing, two eyes looking at each other, the shape of the gods, in the craftsmanship is also exquisite, in addition to its romantic name - "millennium love". This represents the yearning and blessing of sanxingdui people for sweet love and fertility.

In addition to appearing in books and microblogs, Red Star News reporters also found in a program called "Revealing the Truth" that such artifacts also appeared when introducing "Exploring Ancient Civilizations". The host was found from the Sanxingdui site as an entry point, but the picture shows artifacts similar to "ancient Shu people and fish" that have never appeared in the Sanxingdui Museum.

Subsequently, the show invited two guests to interpret the ancient Shu civilization of Sanxingdui. But what is strange is that the interpretation scene of the two guests is in the Xiamen Ancient Culture and Art Museum.
【Experts】
"Sanxingdui bronze elements are piled up haphazardly,
Obviously a fake made by modern people"
Are these objects really from the Sanxingdui site?
To this end, the Red Star News reporter interviewed Zhu Yarong, director of the Sanxingdui Museum, "Fake, these things have been shown to me for a long time." I have not seen the real thing, just through the photos can recognize that it is a fake artifact. The jade of the ancient Shu civilization has its own characteristics and style, and the shape, materials and craftsmanship of these utensils are very different from the Sanxingdui jade excavated by our archaeology, and the elements of the Sanxingdui bronze are used to pile up haphazardly, which is obviously a fake made by modern people. ”
The Red Star News reporter also sent pictures of the relevant artifacts to the famous archaeologist, researcher of the Guangdong Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, and visiting professor Bu Gong of Jinan University.
After reading this series of pictures, Bu Gong sent a text saying, "Sanxingdui is broad and profound, and I really dare not say it." But the one who reads in the hut (above) must have been imitated by later generations. The Yu chun people (below) are also imitations. The hugger (referring to the "millennium love") has the boldness of modern women, unlike the ancient Shu people. There are many imitations, which are very fun, let everyone guess! ”
【Editor-in-Chief's Response】
"I paid for these things,
Do I take the money to buy fake things? ”
All fake? So why is there a book called "Samsung Jade Exploration"? Curious, the Red Star News reporter dialed Zhong Ming, one of the book's editors-in-chief.
Red Star News: Xiamen Ancient Culture and Art Museum is now closed, why?
Zhong Ming: Yes, it has been open for a few years, because the site is now recycled by the government.
Red Star News: What about the collections in there?
Zhong Ming: I don't know. After I helped them plan, I didn't care about that side, and I didn't participate in the specific management over there. They are doing cultural industries and tourism.
Red Star News: Are the pictures in "Samsung Jade" taken by yourself?
Zhong Ming: They are all their own collections, all museum collections, not official. The things that come out of this book are not official, not the Guanghan Museum or the Jinsha Site Museum, but the museum that collects things through the people and then does it.
Red Star News: What year did you collect it?
Zhong Ming: That's very early... The folk collection Sanxingdui has been around since the 1990s. One after another.
Red Star News: Are all this true?
Zhong Ming: I think you are not an expert, you better not write. Because you write, you have to be biased, either you say it's fake, or you say it's real, and you're not authoritative...
Red Star News: So do you think it's true or fake?
Zhong Ming: Surely I said it was true, I spent money to buy these things, I took the money to buy fake things? It's not a penny or two penny thing.

These three tricks,
Let you recognize the fake artifacts of Sanxingdui in a second
The Red Star News reporter found that the official Weibo of the Sanxingdui Museum had sent an article called "These Three Tricks, Let You Recognize the Fake Cultural Relics of Sanxingdui in a Second!" ", the beginning of the article is somewhat helpless to say: others built my pile of fake cultural relics to exhibit, I pile actually have no way to deal with it, for example, some people say that this infringement is not infringing? But in fact, the Sanxingdui Museum is only the custody and display unit of sanxingdui cultural relics, and there is no ownership of cultural relics, the ownership of state-owned cultural relics is in the country, and the museum itself has no right to be infringed; then is this considered to deceive consumers (audiences)? But many times people's fake cultural relics are still free to open, and if you want to complain about this, the subject is also the audience instead of my pile; at the same time, these villains are also very good at exploiting legal loopholes and stealing concepts, saying that sanxing heap is not said to be cultural relics, or into folk old collections, then this source is not clear, true and false is not easy to distinguish.
So, what are the specific three tricks?
First: jade bronze man, almost none. According to official accounts, as long as you see a figure made of jade that looks like a bronze man, it can definitely be a fake.
Second: Sanxingdui has not yet found the text. According to official accounts, the most prosperous period of Sanxingdui was about the late Shang Dynasty in the Central Plains, that is, the Yin Ruins period. In the contemporaneous era of Yin Ruins, only the earliest mature scripts on the mainland were found in Yin Ruins, and it is relatively abnormal to say that "abnormal" yin ruins are relatively abnormal, after all, people in most areas are still illiterate.
Although no writing has been found in Sanxingdui, sporadic carvings have been found on the pottery, and the difference between these pottery pieces may be tens or hundreds of years, the specific meaning is not clear, but sporadic appearance, and it is certain that no text can be determined.
Third: The vast majority of Sanxingdui cultural relics have been formally excavated and hidden in regular cultural institutions, and the so-called "folk collection" is very questionable. According to the Sanxingdui Museum, the excavation history of Sanxingdui was about 1930, and hundreds of jade tools were first found by a peasant who cleaned the ditch (mainly yubi, etc., and gave away and sold some of them, and later handed over some of them). Subsequently, the professors of West China Union University heard the news and came to carry out archaeological excavations, and all the excavated cultural relics were collected in the Huada Museum (later renamed Sichuan University Museum). This was followed by excavations by archaeologists from the Sichuan Provincial Archaeological Institute, whose two most Chinese and most important artifact pits were discovered in 1986, and almost all of them are in the Sanxingdui Museum.
