Chapter 1432 Push forward 1 year history

The elephants still haven't fully understood why those two tusks became their life-threatening charms?

Sadness is sad, but they still have to face reality.

The discovery of ivory in Sanxingdui was not only recently. In fact, when Sanxingdui was first excavated 30 years ago, more than 80 ivories were found in it.

In addition, thousands of ivory were also unearthed from the Jinsha site, which is inextricably related to the Sanxingdui site.

It can be seen that ivory has entered people's lives thousands of years ago and has become the best sacrifice in sacrificial activities.

So the question is, are there such a large number of ivory, are they local elephants or imported elephants?Where did so much ivory come from?

The Sanxingdui site has a history of more than 5000 years, corresponding to the Xia and Shang Dynasties in history.

According to historical records, the ancients in the Xia and Shang Dynasties had just entered the civilization period at that time.

Bronze casting and other techniques are not advanced, and the casting of tripods and weapons can basically be completed.

On the other hand, the cultural relics unearthed from "Sanxingdui", especially the thin gold mask, show superb technology.

Just imagine, how long does it take for such a superb and developed civilization to conceive and form?

Roughly estimated, at least a thousand years.

From this, it can be basically concluded that the Sanxingdui civilization pushed the Chinese civilization forward by at least 1000 years.

At that time, did elephants exist in China?

To solve this problem, you need to read ancient books and find information in them.

In fact, there is no need for detailed search and confirmation, and many clues about elephants can be easily found.

So, we then came to a conclusion: elephants are native elephants.

Sanxingdui corresponds to the Xia and Shang Dynasties in Chinese civilization. There is an embarrassing thing about this period, that is, the writing is not well developed.

There was no writing during the Xia Dynasty, or we have not found it.

However, based on oracle bone inscriptions, even if there were early writings in the Xia Dynasty, they should be very complicated, and should still be a little bit more advanced than Jiesheng Jishi.

Therefore, no one knows what office the monarch of the Xia Dynasty takes. This is also a major reason why many scholars do not recognize the Xia Dynasty.

It was not until the Shang Dynasty that people began to engrave characters on tortoise shells, forming the original oracle bone inscriptions.

Many memorabilia can be regarded as being completely recorded.

There is a related record in "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals: Ancient Music Pian": The merchants obeyed the elephants in order to abuse Dongyi, so the Duke of Zhou chased them as his teachers, as far as the south of the Yangtze River.

A simple translation of this sentence is that the merchant once drove the elephant to tyranny Dongyi, so Zhou Gong led the army to drive the elephant herd to the south of the Yangtze River.

In addition, in "Ancient Chinese Mythology", Emperor Shun, one of the five emperors, domesticated wild elephants to plow the fields.

The Yushun period and the Sanxingdui civilization belonged to the same period.

It can be seen that there were indeed many elephants living in the land of China back then, and the ivory in Sanxingdui is very likely to come from the mainland.

In addition, there are also relevant records in the "Shan Hai Jing", which is very similar to the Sanxingdui civilization

"Shan Hai Jing" is known as the encyclopedia of ancient China, which records many folklore and geographical knowledge in ancient times.

It involves a lot of knowledge about mountains and rivers, ethnic groups, products, sacrifices, witch doctors, etc.

It seems absurd and uninhibited now, but many of them can correspond to reality.

The ancient bronze tree unearthed in Sanxingdui is related to the hibiscus tree in "Shan Hai Jing".

It can be deduced from this that the knowledge recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing" is not groundless, but of great reference value.

There is such a record in the "Shan Hai Jing": Three hundred miles to the northeast, it is called Min Mountain, and there are many rhinoceros and elephants in its beasts.

It can be seen from this that as early as thousands of years ago, Asian elephants really lived in China.

Where is Minshan?It is the birthplace of Silkworm Cong.

The Cancong here is the one written in Li Bai's poems: Cancong and Yufu, how at a loss was the founding of the country.

This buddy is the king of the ancient Shu Kingdom. It is recorded in "The Book of the King of Shu": There was a marquis of Shu named Cancong, whose eyes were vertical, and he was called king at first.

Cancong did not live in the Guanghan area of ​​Sichuan Province at first, but Cancong first lived in the Minshan area in the northwest.

That place is extremely desolate, known as "Nine Dangers".

The gdp of the residents at that time was so low that it was unbelievable, but Can Cong was born with a different appearance, and he seemed to be a person who was doing great things.

He lived in the cave when he had nothing to do, and began to think about how to lead everyone to make a fortune.

There are many wild elephants living in the Minshan area, and hunting has become a part of their daily life. It is not easy to get some ivory.

They followed wild elephants all the way, hunting while migrating, and came to the Chuandu Plain.

Of course, there are also many indigenous residents living here, but there is no doubt that they cannot stand up to the brave and combative Northwesterners.

Thus, the Cancong tribe took root here.

Cancong taught the tribal people how to raise silkworms and grow mulberry, and the gdp of the residents also increased.

Whether Can Cong and others exist, many people still doubt

Cancong Yufu and others all lived for hundreds of years in the records, and the five ancient emperors recorded by Sima Qian basically lived for hundreds of years.

This has led many scholars to believe that such records are false.

The reason given seems quite reasonable, that is, the average life expectancy of the ancients in the Xia and Shang Dynasties was very low, and those who lived to 20 years old were the lucky ones. How could they live to be hundreds of years old?

Many netizens also gave different opinions, claiming that Can Cong and others are real, but they are not ordinary people, but the first generation created by God.

They have their own immortality and longevity genes, which laid the foundation for the rise of early human civilization.

As time goes by, fewer and fewer longevity genes are passed on to their offspring, so there are fewer and fewer long-lived and talented people.

After the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there were no such great talents who could live for many years.

It is not unreasonable to say so, but as for the truth, it is still unknown.

Although it is said that Sanxingdui is getting more and more lost in the lake, the only thing that is not lost in the lake is that Sanxingdui is still a part of Chinese civilization.

Sanxingdui is not the so-called "civilization from the stars" at all, and the theory of aliens is nothing more than people's imagination.

Furthermore, "Shan Hai Jing" is really a wonderful book. If with the improvement of science and technology, the mysteries in "Shan Hai Jing" are revealed one by one, I believe that Chinese civilization can once again shock the world.

The history of our country is really interesting.

Therefore, Chen Wenzhe has always liked history, and it is also because of his love of history that he has the ability to appraise antiques and curios.

It's just some ivory. If you want to study it, you need to know a lot.

For example, the ancient Xia and Shang civilizations, the ancient Yellow River civilization, the Yangtze River civilization, and even ancient works such as Lian Shan Hai Jing also need to be studied with scientific thinking, rather than just looking at them for fun.
