In terms of geography, history, latitude and longitude
What is Tianfu culture? It is a culture developed in the land of abundance with Chengdu Plain as the core, a typical special regional culture, and a culture formed in a specific circle and region.
Seeing Tianfu culture from geography. Chengdu Plain is located in the second step of China geography (in the transitional stage, it is the lowest part of the second step, between 300 meters and 800 meters), the east gate of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the north side of the Hengduan Mountains. It is a closed basin with inland maritime climate and thousands of rivers (1409 big rivers, 2,860 medium-sized rivers and 500 small rivers). Li Siguang, a famous geologist, said that the ancient landforms in China were high in the east and low in the west. More than 70 million years ago, the ancient Yangtze River was divided into two parts. The west Yangtze River flowed south to the Indian Ocean, and the east Yangtze River (the Yangtze River originating from Xiling Gorge) returned from east to west (the Pacific water system), and the two parts were not connected with each other. Sichuan Basin is an inland sea of 200,000 square kilometers. The Bagua Du Ze in the Book of Changes refers to the ancient sea in the west of Sichuan Basin. Therefore, Chengdu Plain is especially suitable for plant growth, and it is the earliest rice planting place with rich products. Cosmetics made of rice were used as early as Shang Dynasty. Therefore, Tianfu culture is a transitional culture, a landscape culture, a farming culture and an inland sea culture.
On Tianfu culture from the perspective of immigration history. Since ancient times, Chengdu has attracted talents from all walks of life with its rich products and beautiful environment, forming a unique immigrant culture and spirit. The ancient Shu people are indigenous tribes rising from the upper reaches of Minjiang River. These aborigines may have originated in the Himalayas. The ancient Qiang people should be Himalayan. Shu culture is divided into Shu Shan, Can Cong, Guanbai, Yufu and Ming Kai, and it is the source of the Yangtze River civilization. Shu tribe is a tribe different from Central Plains culture in the pre-Qin period. The word "Shu" first appeared in Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty. According to records, Shu people helped him during the attack. However, the history of Shu was not recorded in the pre-Qin documents, and the history and legends of Shu were not recorded until Huayang Guozhi Shuzhi in Changqu, Eastern Jin Dynasty. Li Bai wrote in "Difficult Road to Shu": "Until the two rulers of this area squeezed in in the foggy years! Forty-eight thousand years have passed and there is no contact with Qin Sai. " The Qin Dynasty "moved thousands of people from Qin to Shu". From the Three Kingdoms to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, tens of thousands of immigrants followed Liu Bei into Shu. During the Western Jin Dynasty, there was a drought in Gansu and Shaanxi, and 100,000 refugees entered Sichuan to "eat western Shu". At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, the first migration movement of "Huguang filling Sichuan" took place. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, more than one million immigrants entered Sichuan, which ushered in the climax of "Huguang filling Sichuan". When War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out, a large number of people from East China and North China and various institutions and schools moved to Chengdu. After the founding of New China, a large number of factories and skilled workers also entered Chengdu. A survey of Chengdu in the late Qing Dynasty recorded the composition of Chengdu people in the Qing Dynasty: Huguang accounted for 25%, Shandong for 5%, Shaanxi for 10%, Yunnan for 15%, Jiangxi for 15%, Anhui for 5%, Jiangsu and Zhejiang for 10%, and Guangdong and Guangxi for 60%. In the third year of Qing Shunzhi (1646), the whole city of Chengdu was burned in the war, and then it died in five or six years. Therefore, in the early Qing Dynasty, the capital of Sichuan moved to Langzhong, Baoning Prefecture, which is unique in Chengdu history. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the Qing government implemented the immigration policy of "filling Sichuan with lakes and wide areas", and more than one million people from 100 Yu Sheng moved to Sichuan, greatly exceeding the indigenous population (the indigenous population in Sichuan in the early Qing Dynasty was only 890,000). Immigrant culture has created the characteristics of Tianfu culture: first, it is adventurous and pioneering; The second is openness and compatibility; The third is the innovation of ideas and lifestyles.
Seeing Tianfu culture from Sanxingdui. The source of Tianfu culture is ancient Shu culture. Ancient sites such as Yingpanshan in Maoxian County, Sanxingdui in Deyang and Jinsha in Chengdu prove that the ancient Shu civilization can extend to 5,300 years ago. In Yingpanshan site, various remains such as Neolithic building foundation sites, tombs, sacrificial pits and kiln sites have been found. Many stone fragments were unearthed from Yingpanshan site. Seeds of peaches, plums and apricots were found after flotation, indicating that there were abundant fruits here as early as 5300 to 4600 years ago. Archaeologists have also found many mussels and shells, which is obvious evidence of the "Southern Silk Road". Sanxingdui has a history of 5000 to 3000 years. It is an ancient city, an ancient country and an ancient Shu cultural site. It shows that the Yangtze River basin, like the Yellow River basin, belongs to the matrix of Chinese civilization and is known as the "source of Yangtze River civilization". Archaeologists divide the cultural remains of the site group into four periods, one is early accumulation, which belongs to the late Neolithic culture, and the second to fourth periods belong to the bronze culture (from the end of Shang Dynasty to the beginning of Zhou Dynasty), which lasted nearly 2000 years. Among these ancient Shu treasures, there are bronze giants with a height of 2.62 meters, bronze masks with a width of 1.38 meters and bronze sacred trees with a height of 3.95 meters, all of which are unique. Among them, there is a bronze vertical mask as the idol of Can Cong, the ancestor of Shu people, and a gold staff with a length of1.42m as a scepter. Nearly a thousand precious cultural relics such as gold, copper, jade, stone, pottery, shells and bones were unearthed from two large sacrificial pits in Shang Dynasty, among which 300 to 400 bronzes were the most distinctive. Among them, the types of bronzes unearthed in pit 1 include human head, human face, human face, kneeling statue, dragon ornament, dragon cylindrical vessel, tiger vessel, Ge, Huan, square hole wall, dragon and tiger statue, sheep statue, jar, vessel cover, plate and so on. The bronzes unearthed in the No.2 pit include large bronze statues, kneeling statues, human heads, human masks, animal masks, animal faces, shrines, sacred trees, sun-shaped vessels, eye-shaped vessels, eye bubbles, bronze bells, bronze ornaments, bronze squares, birds, snakes, chickens, monsters, buffalo heads, deer and catfish. During the excavation of two sacrificial pits in Sanxingdui, more than 80 pieces of ivory were unearthed. The bronze heads of Sanxingdui with different shapes are painted on the face when unearthed, and earrings are hung on the earlobes, which shows that they are fashionable and know how to live. The source of Sichuan Opera's changing face and Sanxingdui ancestors' mask. Sanxingdui people are not fat, but bronze people are handsome, capable and slim, which shows that losing weight has long been a sign of health and beauty.
