On March 20, the Sanxingdui Ruins in Guanghan, Sichuan drew the world’s attention. Chinese

archaeologists() announced that they have found more than 500 cultural relies () in six pits () at

考古学家文物

the site, which dates back over 3,200 years. The relies include bronzeware () , gold and bronze masks, ivory,

青铜器

jade () and textiles ().

玉器纺织品

The Sanxingdui Ruins, which were first discovered in 1929, are believed to be the remains of the ancient Shu

Kingdom. The kingdom was a center of civilization () along the upper reaches of Yangtze River.

文明

In 1986, archaeologists discovered two pits that they believed were used for sacrificial ceremonies ().

祭祀仪式

At that time, over 1,000 artifacts were found, including bronzeware, face masks and “divine () trees”-bronze

神圣的

sculptures of trees.

The discovery of Sanxingdui raised an important question about the origins of Chinese civilization. The

ancient Shu civilization that built Sanxingdui is believed to be one of the earliest examples of Chinese civilization.

The site, along with the Liangzhu and Shijiahe sites along the Yangtze River, shows that the birthplace of Chinese

civilization might not have been only along the Yellow River Basin () in north China.

流域

The newly-discovered relics are similar to those found in 1986, as they also include divine trees and bronze

masks. They further support the idea that the pits were used for sacrificial purposes.

New kinds of cultural relies have also been dug up. For example, experts found two square zun (), a kind of

ancient bronze jar () that was used for holding water or wine. They also found cong-a jade artifact commonly

罐子

found at the 5,000-year-old Liangzhu Archaeological Ruins in Zhejiang province.

“These artifacts show that the Sanxingdui site had a close connection with Central China, but it also marks an

original ancient civilization (in Sichuan) with strong creativity,” said Chen Xiandan, a member of the excavation

() project.

By accident

The Sanxingdui Ruins were found by accident. A farmer found them in 1929 when he was digging a ditch (

). People found some artifacts, but didn’t know how important they were. In 1986, when farmers dug up soil to

make bricks (), they found relics again. Experts then found two pits (). The newest relics were found in

砖块深坑

six pits. The biggest pit is 19 square meters while the smallest is 3.5 square meters. Researchers from 34

Weighing about 280 grams (O.6 pounds) and probably made from 84% gold, the gold mask is one of over 500

objects uncovered from six newly discovered “sacrificial pits ()” according to the China’s National Cultural

祭祀坑

Heritage Administration.

The finds were made at Sanxingdui, a 4.6-square-mile area outside Chengdu on March 20. Some experts said

the objects might shine further light on the ancient “Shu” state, a kingdom that ruled in the western Sichuan basin

until it was captured in 316 BC. More than 50.000 ancient objects have been found at Sanxingdui since the 1920s,

when a local farmer accidentally dug up a number of ancient objects at the site. A major breakthrough happened in

1986. With the discovery of two sacrificial pits keeping over 1,000 objects, including well-protected masks.

After a long break, a third pit was then found in late 2019, leading to the discovery of the other five pits last

year. Experts believed the pits were used for sacrificial purposes, explaining why many of the objects were burned

as they were dropped in the sacrificial pits.

Follow-up field research began in March 2020, and five more sacrificial pits were uncovered. The biggest

among the six pits. the No. 8 pit, is 19 square meters. The smallest, No. 5, covers 3.5 square meters and is where

the most recent gold mask was found.

Sanxingdui is regarded as one of the most important historical sites in the world, because of its size, age and

the ancient objects found in it. Sanxingdui is believed to have sat at the heart of the Shu state. The site has deepened

experts’ understanding of how human culture developed in ancient China.” These ancient objects show the

Sanxingdui site had a close connection with Central China, but it also marks an ancient culture (in Sichuan) with

strong creativity,” said ChenXiandan, a member of the research team.

The latest discoveries at Sanxingdui have aroused great public interest. From March 21 to 25, a two-hour

programme on the Sanxingdui site was shown each day. People could see workers use different kinds of tools to

bring back the ancient objects with great care in the new pits. On social media platform Sina Weibo, three out of the

Talking about pigs, Liu Bing made a face and covered her nose with her hand. “Whenever I go near the pigs, it

is smelly,” said the middle school student from the Chengdu, Sichuan province, who helps keep pigs at home.

But she had a change of heart after seeing a 3,000-year-old pottery () pig. It is similar to the green pigs in

The Angry Birds Move. Now she thinks pigs are cute. “I am familiar with The Angry Birds Movie and was

surprised to find that the lovely pottery pig was from Sichuan,” Liu smiled.

Since October, researchers have been digging in the Lianhe Ruins (). They are not far from the

Liu Bing had visited the Sanxingdui Museum many times. But that pottery pig rekindled her interest. I will

go there again. Because of COVID-19, I cannot travel far. The museum is nearby,” she said. “It will be my best

place to go to this summer to see the bronze masks and other pottery pigs.”

Talking about pigs, Liu Bing made a face and covered her nose with her hand. “Whenever I go near the pigs, it

is smelly,” said the middle school student from the Chengdu, Sichuan province, who helps keep pigs at home.

But she had a change of heart after seeing a 3,000-year-old pottery () pig. It is similar to the green pigs in

The Angry Birds Move. Now she thinks pigs are cute. “I am familiar with The Angry Birds Movie and was

surprised to find that the lovely pottery pig was from Sichuan,” Liu smiled.

Since October, researchers have been digging in the Lianhe Ruins (). They are not far from the

遗址

Sanxingdui Ruins, Sichuan's most important archaeological discovery (). The most eye-catching find in

the Lianhe Ruins recently is that pottery pig.

Sanxingdui Ruins showed China had different origins of civilization (). Before that, it was believed that

Liu Bing had visited the Sanxingdui Museum many times. But that pottery pig rekindled her interest. “I will

go there again. Because of COVID-19, I cannot travel far. The museum is nearby,” she said. “It will be my best

place to go to this summer to see the bronze masks and other pottery pigs.”

17. Why did Liu Bing change her idea on pigs?

A. Because she didn't keep pigs at home any longer.

B. Because she found a pottery pig in Lianhe Ruins.

C. Because she liked the green pigs in Angry Birds Movie.

D. Because she saw a very old but cute pottery pig.

18. What can you learn from the text?

B. The pottery pig was the most important archaeological discovery in China.

C. The pottery pig from Lianhe Ruins was quite different from other pig figures.

D. The discovery of the pottery pip showed the origin of Chinese civilization.
