Literature animates ancient China’s lost civilization
Unearthed relics are more than mere fragments of the past; they are the roots and soul of a civilization. This holds true for the collection of Bronze Age treasures housed in Sanxingdui Museum near Chengdu, capital of northwest China’s Sichuan Province – artifacts cast by a long-lost civilization known as the Ancient Shu.
Yet, for these enigmatic objects, including the iconic, alien-like bronze masks, the challenge lies in communication. Archaeologists provide the essential academic decoding of this mysterious culture, yet their scholarly work can often feel distant to the public.
In this discussion, Xiao Xianjin, former curator of Sanxingdui Museum, explores why literature is a vital bridge between ancient history and modern heart. By weaving facts into narrative, the Ancient Shu civilization steps out from behind the museum glass. For Xiao, modern expression is what makes cultural inheritance feel alive, and meaningful in the present.
