1 They are archaeological workers (考古工作者) at Sanxingdui. They are digging and finding ancient treasures there. 三星堆青铜神树（特指一号大型神树）正是东方神木“扶桑”的具象化体现，是古蜀文明对《山海经》宇宙观的青铜复刻，核心依据如下： 1. 神话原型完全契合 《山海经·海外东经》载“汤谷上有扶桑，十日所浴，九日居下枝，一日居上枝”，汤谷（旸谷）是东方太阳升起之地，扶木（扶桑）为太阳栖息的宇宙树。神树分三层树枝，立9只太阳鸟（金乌），顶端残缺推测原缺1只，对应“十日轮值”；树干蜿蜒的龙是“天梯”，沟通天地，底座云纹/山形象征东方神山，与“东”字“日在木中”的古文字意象完美呼应。 2. 古蜀宇宙观的核心象征 神树高近4米，是古蜀人“宇宙轴”中心：太阳鸟代表天界，树干连人间，龙通地下，体现“天人合一”；二号神树则对应西方若木，与扶桑构成“东扶桑西若木”的太阳循环体系，印证古蜀人对东方太阳崇拜的极致表达。 3. 考古与文化意义 1986年三星堆出土，是夏商时期蜀人独立神话体系的见证，将中原“十日”神话与本地青铜技术结合，既是祭祀礼器，也是东方神木信仰的实物巅峰。 简单说，它用青铜凝固了“东方汤谷、太阳栖息、天地相通”的神话图景，是东方神木最震撼的考古证据。 藏品信息 所属年代:中国历史学年代,商(前1600~前1046)藏品级别:一级 材料技术:雕塑、造像 外形尺寸:头纵径14.5，横径12.6，高42.5，宽20.5厘米 馆藏地址:三星堆博物馆 藏品介绍 铜人头像为平顶，头发向后梳理，发辫垂于脑后，发辫上端用宽带套束，具有浓郁的地方民族发式风格。金面罩用金皮捶拓而成，大小、造型和铜头像面部特征相同，眼眉部镂空，制作颇为精致，给人以权威与神圣之感。 三星堆青铜人头像上包贴金面罩，与古蜀人的宗教习俗有密切关系，且说明当时的古蜀人已视黄金为尊。作为常设于宗庙的祭祀神像，在其面部饰以黄金，其目的并非仅仅为了美观，应是在宗教祭祀活动中具有特定的功用和文化意义。估计金面罩的宗教功能是用为娱神以使神更加灵验，同时，给铜人头像特别加饰金面罩当也表明了其象征特别高贵、权威的身份。 Unit 3 Putting the pieces together 新外研版九年级上册Reading部分 Read the first para.and find out the main ideas.
