Mountains and seas close at hand

Ji Bao didn't pay attention to us at all, and turned his head to talk to that person in high spirits.

"Half smoke?" Miss Bai held my arm and asked in a low voice, "What's uncomfortable? Let's find a place to sit."

I pressed her hand and said softly: "It's okay. Let's go and see the Bronze God Tree."

The bronze sacred tree is in the center of the museum, with a vast galaxy painted on the top and a dark yellow floor.The tree is divided into three layers, each layer has three branches, and each branch has branches.The fairy flower is upward, and the fairy fruit is drooping.Immortal flowers bloom, and divine birds stand on them. There are nine birds in the whole tree.

On the sacred tree hangs a fetish that looks like a dragon but not a snake. Its head is down, its tail is up to the sky, and its body is like a rope.The bottom of the tree rises like a mountain, and there are three small bronze figures kneeling.

Miss Bai and I looked up at the bronze sacred tree and listened to Ji Bao talking to people.

"...Miss Ji, look, there is something in the shape of a copper coin under the sacred bird, which symbolizes the sun. It is said in the Shan Hai Jing that there is a hibiscus in Tanggu, the lower branch for nine days, and the upper branch for one day." With ten golden crows, they work in turn. When one sun rises, the other nine golden crows rest on the branches."

Ji Bao said with great interest: "I know, Hou Yi shot the sun. All ten suns went to work, and there was a severe drought, and then there was the story of Hou Yi and Chang'e."

The man smiled modestly and warmly: "Miss Ji is really funny and knowledgeable."

Ji Bao bid farewell to the man and came to find us.

I smiled and said, "Are you willing to come?"

Ji Bao snorted softly: "It would be great to find someone to explain for free, not to mention being so handsome."

I couldn't help complaining: "I didn't pay attention to the handsome, my hair turned white just looking at it."

"Handsomeness is a kind of temperament, temperament." Ji Bao followed behind me and emphasized, "Look at how temperamental he is. He speaks in a tepid way, but he listens comfortably. It doesn't look like you..."

Ji Bao has not finished complaining about it, we have already left the comprehensive hall, and we will see the Bronze Hall when we walk straight along the road.

When he entered the door, he saw a huge bronze mask, and Ji Bao was instantly shocked.He stepped forward and walked around in a circle, and said with emotion: "Oh, this can't be worn on the face."

I saw that she was about to reach out, so I hurriedly said, "What are you doing? Chop up the itchy paw and boil the soup."

Miss Bai said softly: "I once heard my father say that masks are the symbol and carrier of gods."

We move forward with a sense of awe.Behind it is the most famous "bronze mask with a crown and vertical eyes" in Sanxingdui.The eyes of this bronze mask are extremely exaggerated.The corners of the eyes are raised, and the eyeballs protrude like cylinders.

While looking at it, I said: "'Shuhou Cancong, its eyes are vertical'. Many people attached themselves to it, thinking that Cancong is related to silkworms."

Ji Bao asked in surprise, "Isn't it?"

I laughed and said: "Yang Xiong's "Ode to the Capital of Shu" wrote, 'Wang Ji is a barbarian, but Shu Hou Shang Cong'. Shu Hou Shang Cong refers to Can Cong. Can Cong is just a transliteration of the ancient Shu dialect. The word 'Shang' , which means noble in the old saying, which is very suitable for the status of a king.

And the word "Cong" is also a phonetic translation of ancient Shu.Bie Ling is the king, known as Emperor Cong in history.In the Book of the King of Shu, it is said that 'Bie Ling came to the throne, and the name is Kaiming Qi'.So the sound 'Cong' should represent 'Qi' in ancient Shu language.Silkworm Cong, that is, noble and strange. "

Ji Bao nodded repeatedly, pointed at the bronze mask and said, "It's a king again, and it looks so strange. It's a good name, realistic!"

We walked forward, and Miss Bai stopped in front of the rhombic eye shaper, and I remembered the jade eye that I threw in the mountain.

I stood shoulder to shoulder with her, gazing at the cultural relics in the display case.At the same time, we are also being observed by them.

Freehand shape, simple lines.The patina is spread evenly, and the earth rust is stubbornly embellished.The radian of the hook cloud, the sharp angle of the rhombus...everywhere is telling the charm of craftsmanship and history.

Miss Bai sighed, and stared sideways at me, her eyes were clear and deep.The words in my heart almost blurted out, but finally solidified on the tip of my tongue.She didn't speak either, just smiled.

The three of us walked up the steps to the second floor, and there was a row of bronze heads with gold faces in the dim exhibition hall.Against the pitch-black background and the bright red base cloth, a ray of light descends from the sky.Their expressions were majestic and solemn, and I stopped involuntarily.

Even Ji Bao lowered his voice: "Who are these people? Why do they have gold masks?"

I let her see the difference in the headgear.Fortunately, she began to research which bronze portrait was more handsome.

We walked and chatted, looked at the towering bronze statues, observed the exquisite sun wheel, pondered the bronze altar, and discussed the varieties of copper snakes.

After spending two and a half hours walking around, we left the museum.

Ji Bao picked up the ticket in his hand: "There is still a park, should we go and see it. Is it the Sanxingdui ruins?"

Miss Bai said: "The tour guide said it was a replica, but now there is a flower show."

"Forget it, let's go to the airport early." I said, taking the mineral water from Miss Bai.

Ji Bao unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle and took a sip, took out his mobile phone and said, "Let's eat something before we go, it's only 02:30, we must be in time. I ate some egg cakes this morning..."

I said, "How many? That bag is basically what you eat."

Ji Baoli said confidently, "You even ate a meat bun."

"That's called braised pork pot helmet."

While we were talking, Miss Bai had already asked the staff for directions.She greeted us: "Are you still eating?"

"Eat!" "Eat."

The restaurant is on the right side of the Bronze Hall, imitating the ancient model.

Ji Bao's ordering has always been a playboy's style. Looking at the menu, he began to read: "Sweet roasted white, boiling fish, Lianshan twice-cooked pork, roast goose with potatoes..."

I quickly stopped: "Okay, let's have tomato omelette soup."

After ordering, we walked around to the backyard.Off-season and non-meal, only our table.

The three of us sat down and chatted while waiting for the food.There are too many mysteries in Sanxingdui, and we talked about the bronze sacred tree.Ji Baodao heard some rumors, and he will show off to us again.

At this moment, the first dish was served, and just as I was about to pick up my chopsticks, I heard Miss Bai call me: "Half smoke."

I looked at her: "what's wrong?"

Miss Bai smiled: "Is there any story about the bronze sacred tree?"

"It's really smart. And it's very interesting." I smiled back, raised my hand and nodded my cheek, "Give me a kiss, and I'll tell you."

Miss Bai suddenly lost her expression.

Ji Bao booed from the side: "Student Bai Xunhua, hurry up, sacrifice for the truth."

"Get rolling." I glared at Ji Bao, quickly bowed my head to admit my mistake, and put a piece of roast goose into Miss Bai's bowl, "Come on, eat a piece of goose meat, it's sweet in taste and mild in nature, nourishing qi and tonifying deficiency."

Ji Bao smiled and said, "It can also be used as a bride price."

I squinted at her: "Do you still want to listen to an expert's explanation!"

Ji Bao quickly picked up a piece of potato for me: "Expert, please."

I was chewing potatoes, and Sri said slowly, "Ji Bao, have you looked carefully at the birds on the bronze sacred tree?"

Ji Baodao: "Of course, it is very delicate. I don't know how the ancestors are so smart."

I asked her: "Then do you see anything special?" Seeing her puzzled face, I said again: "The bronze sacred tree was broken when it was unearthed. What we see now, there are 14 fruits on the tree, 15 rings, and 6 birds...all replicas."

Ji Baoqiang argued: "I'm not an archaeologist."

I said again: "Then have you noticed that the wings of the bronze divine bird have all been broken?"

Ji Bao was taken aback, and even dropped the twice-cooked pork from the chopsticks.She quickly took out her mobile phone, looked at it again and again, and muttered, "It seems to be true."

This is not the most terrible thing, the most troublesome thing for archaeologists is the essence of the whole sacred tree - the canopy.Searching for the No. 2 sacrificial pit, let alone fragments, there is no shadow of the crown of the tree.

Ji Bao sighed: "No wonder, I feel that the top of the tree is bare."

Miss Bai put down her chopsticks and said thoughtfully, "It's not just the bronze sacred tree, I found that some of the exhibits are also damaged. It stands to reason that the cultural relics on display should have been selected and restored."

I nodded: "Don't be surprised. In fact, the entire Sanxingdui site, especially the sacrificial pit, was destroyed and burned by man."

I took a bite of twice-cooked pork for Ji Bao: "Come, eat your Lianshan twice-cooked pork. I know what you are going to ask. Who did it? Why did you do it? You know, although we are talking about sacrificial pits. At that time in ancient Shu Kingdom, it is the most sublime and solemn temple."

Miss Bai said: "Banyan, I remember I said it before. The Sanxingdui site is mysterious. One of the reasons is that it ended at the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the week."

I said with emotion: "Yes. Why did such a splendid and splendid country suddenly stop? Who burned down the shrines of the Shu people? Who broke the wings of flying birds? Who took the laurel crown of the sacred tree."

Ji Bao swallowed the twice-cooked meat, and said in disgust: "Stop it, stop it. Think of yourself as a poet, don't be a fool."

"This is what I call feeling." I continued, "There are no inscriptions and historical records of what happened in the ancient Shu Kingdom. But in the Central Plains at that time, a major event that subverted the world took place, and the shadow of the ancient Shu Kingdom also used to be there."
