Did Sanxingdui civilization originate from Dongyi tribe?

Since the excavation of Sanxingdui site, a series of important archaeological and academic questions have swarmed in, and since then Sanxingdui civilization has become a mysterious synonym, and many questions still cannot be answered accurately. Among them, where Sanxingdui civilization came from is one of many mysteries. Some people say that it originated from Dongyi tribe, and the judgment based on this is not very credible. Let's discuss it next.

1. From the time dimension, according to archaeological discoveries, Sanxingdui site was discovered in Guanghan, Sichuan, about 5,000 to 3,000 years ago, and it was defined as a Bashu cultural site by the archaeological community. When we focus on the specific cultural relics in the site, we will find that if we divide the civilization in the site according to time, it can be divided into early and late stages, and the late stage can be divided into three stages. From this, we can easily see that the civilization of this site has undergone migration and accumulation. Dongyi tribe belongs to Shandong province. More than 3,000 years ago, it was obvious that there was no large-scale migration tide with a large geographical span in China.

Secondly, from the spatial dimension, as mentioned above, Sanxingdui civilization belongs to the ancient Shu civilization, which is located in today's Sichuan Province. Careful observation of the geographical terrain of Sichuan shows that the terrain is dominated by basins, which are separated by Bashu Mountains. Judging from the development level of science, technology, economy and culture at that time, being located in the basin was equivalent to being isolated from the world, with little contact and communication with the outside world. So Sanxingdui site is located here, and it will not communicate with the outside world for a long time, let alone with other civilizations. Its civilization flourished almost in parallel with our Chinese civilization, so it is unlikely that Sanxingdui civilization originated from Dongyi tribe.

Third, from the perspective of civilization, when it comes to Sanxingdui civilization, many people's first reaction is bronzes or aliens. Why is there such an association? As can be seen from many unearthed cultural relics, its bronze surface has a strange shape, unlike our normal human form. The facial features of these bronze faces are geometric patterns, the eyeballs are unusually prominent, the ears are thick and inclined to both sides, and the smiles on their faces are very strange. Therefore, some people even suspect that this is an alien culture. However, according to archaeologists, these bronze statues represent the image of gods or ghosts. The ancient Shu people especially worshipped. Therefore, the unearthed cultural relics, including bronze statues, constitute a unique form of Sanxingdui civilization, which is far from any other tribal culture.
