The expert of dynamic modernity praised the "God Bird"

The golden decorative pattern of the Sun God Bird, as the first recognized symbol pattern in China cultural relics, was adopted by Chengdu and even Sichuan cultural relics and archaeology circles after the news of endorsing chinese heritage came.

Wei Xuefeng, deputy director of Sichuan Museum, believes that the total number of archaeological finds in China in the 2th century is no less than several million, and the Sun God Bird unearthed in Chengdu can stand out from them and be selected as a symbol of Chinese cultural heritage, which shows its own value. As a product of regional culture, Bashu culture, the selection of Sun Bird Map marks the promotion of Bashu culture research status. "At the same time, it is also a symbol of the light of urban civilization, which has a great role in promoting, upgrading and building the image of Chengdu in the country and the world."

Four reasons for being awarded

Refined modeling makes a good emblem

According to National Cultural Heritage Administration, the pattern of the Sun God Bird is a perfect combination of ancient people's philosophy of "harmony between man and nature", rich imagination, extraordinary artistic creativity and exquisite craftsmanship. Its shape is refined and concise, and it has good emblem characteristics.

Worship the sun and condense the national spirit

The pattern of the sun god bird is an outstanding representative of the artistic expression of Chinese ancestors' worship of the sun. As a symbol of chinese heritage, it embodies the strong cohesion and centripetal force of Chinese traditional culture, and shows

the Chinese nation's spirit of self-improvement and high spirits.

Achievements in the protection of cultural relics unearthed

The golden ornaments of the Sun God Bird were unearthed at the Jinsha site in Chengdu in 21, which is an important archaeological discovery in China in the 21st century and reflects the achievements in the protection of cultural relics in China. The spiritual implication of pursuing light, forging ahead in unity, harmony and tolerance expressed by the Sun God Bird pattern shows the strong sense of responsibility and sacred mission of the government and people of China to protect the cultural heritage of the motherland.

full of movement implies harmony and tolerance

The sun, which emits twelve rays around in the pattern, presents a strong movement, symbolizing light, life and eternity. The twelve rays of the sun and the "twelve" and "four" of four birds are commonly used figures in China culture, such as twelve months, the zodiac, the four seasons and the four directions, which express our ancestors' profound understanding of the laws of nature. The four birds flying around the sun reflect the ancestors' yearning for a better life and embody the meaning of freedom, beauty and unity. The overall perfect circular pattern symbolizes national unity, harmony and tolerance, and the circular enclosure also embodies the concept of protection.

"Sunbird" gold ornament

The "Sunbird" gold ornament has an outer diameter of 12.5cm, an inner diameter of 5.29cm, a thickness of .2cm and a weight of 2g. The outline is circular, and the pattern is divided into two layers, inner and outer, all of which adopt the form of penetrating air. The pattern of the inner layer is twelve arc-shaped toothed awnings distributed at equal intervals, and the awnings rotate clockwise. The outer pattern consists of four birds with the same distance distribution. Birds are in the state of stretching their legs and spreading their wings, and the direction of flight is opposite to the rotation direction of the inner pattern. When viewed on a red substrate, the inner pattern of the gold ornament looks like a rotating fireball or the sun. The birds in the outer pattern are easily reminiscent of the mythical birds related to the sun, so experts and scholars named them "Sun Birds" gold ornaments.

Through the composition analysis of the gold ornaments of "Sun God Bird", it was determined that the gold content reached 94.2%. First, it is hot forged into a circle with natural placer gold, then it is repeatedly tempered, and finally it is carved and cut according to the corresponding decorative mold, which embodies the custom of Chinese people's worship of the sun. !
