It's another hour's walk to the destination we are going to today-Yin Ruins. Please take good care of your valuables during the trip. Let's give you a brief introduction to Anyang first! Anyang is located at the junction of Shanxi, Hebei and Henan provinces in the northernmost part of Henan Province. It is adjacent to Handan, Hebei Province in the north, Xinxiang, Hebi in the south, Puyang in the east and nestled in the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain. The city has a total area of 7355 square kilometers and a population of more than 5 million, of which the urban area is 247 square kilometers. Jurisdiction over four counties, four districts and one city. Anyang is a famous cultural city with a history of more than 3,000 years and a natural and cultural heritage, and it is one of the important birthplaces of ancient culture in China. Twenty-five thousand years ago, the "Xiaonanhai Culture" in primitive caves spread all over the world, and the three-layer culture of Hougang, Yangshao, Longshan and Xiaotun gave birth to the long cultural history here and even in China. In Anyang, the ancient capital, you can find deep memories of China's ancient ruling and opposition parties: the first Oracle Bone Inscriptions Archives in China, the bronze crown "Simu Wuding", which is our destination today-the important treasure of Yin Ruins, the mausoleum of the first female general and the burial place of the last "emperor" Yuan Shikai-Lin Yuan, all of which shine in the broad mind of China's history. Speaking of Anyang, we can't help but mention the Red Flag Canal, a 3,000-mile artificial Tianhe called "the eighth wonder of the world" by international friends. Hongqi Canal is a large-scale irrigation project built on Taihang Mountain by Linxian people in Anyang in 1960s. Linxian county is a poor mountainous area with thin soil and thick stones, and water resources are extremely scarce. After the founding of New China, under the leadership of China Producers' Party, the people of the county carried forward the spirit of "self-reliance and hard struggle" and decided to "rearrange the rivers and mountains in Linxian County". Since 1957, water conservancy projects such as Hero Canal and Hongqi Canal have been built successively, which has solved the problem of large-scale irrigation. Among them, Hongqi Canal is the most spectacular. The Hongqi Canal project is huge in scale, with tens of thousands of people participating, with the help of provincial and local leaders, water conservancy departments and engineering and technical personnel at all levels. February 1960 started, cutting mountains and bridging bridges. After decades of hard work, the main canal was opened on April 5 1965. 1April, 966, three main canals were completed at the same time; 1July, 969, the supporting construction of trunk, branch and bucket canals was completed. At this time, the irrigation system with Hongqi Canal as the main body was basically formed. Nowadays, the Red Flag Canal has been widely studied as a spirit. I believe that you are also a member of the hard struggle, and the development of the motherland will be increasingly rapid because of your efforts. When the Hongqi Canal is finished, it's time to talk about our Yin Ruins. Yin Ruins is a cultural site in the late Shang Dynasty, located in the northwest suburb of Anyang City. Its scope is centered on Xiaotun Village, including some scattered places along the bank of Huanhe River in the north and west of the village. According to the historical records and the dating project of Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, in BC 1300, Pan Geng, the 20th king of Shang dynasty, moved his capital from Yan (now Qufu) in Shandong to Yin (now Xiaotun in Anyang), and established his capital here, which lasted for 8 generations 12, * * 254 years. Since then, it has become the political, cultural and economic center of Shang Dynasty. By BC 1046, after Zhou Wuwang came to Shang Dynasty, this land gradually became barren and in ruins, so it was called "Yin Ruins". All right! Yin ruins is coming, please take your belongings and get ready to get off! Thank you for explaining the Yin Ruins in Anyang. Dear travelers, this is the Yin Ruins we have been waiting for for for a long time! 196 1 year, the State Council announced this place as the first batch of key cultural relics protection units in China. In order to protect and utilize the Yin Ruins and prevent them from being destroyed by human beings, with the approval of the relevant state departments, a "Yin Ruins Museum" was built on the site of the palace area of the Yin Ruins. This is what you see now. There are three very important factors that make Yin Ruins world-famous: Oracle Bone Inscriptions, bronzes and the capital. The first is Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Let's look at the gate leading to the garden. This gate was specially designed by Professor Yang Hongxun, a famous Beijing ancient architecture expert. It is modeled after the word "door" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. When most nationalities in the world were still in the Stone Age, people living here had entered the Bronze Age. This is the second reason why Yin Ruins are famous in the world. The bronze ware you see now is the famous Simuwu Dafang Ding. However, he is an imitation, and the precious real thing is now in the Chinese History Museum. Siwuding 1939 was unearthed in the tomb area, with a height of 1.33 m, a length of 1. 10 m, a width of 0.78 m and a weight of 875 kg. It is the largest bronze unearthed in the world so far and is also our national treasure. The third reason why Yin Ruins are famous in the world is undoubtedly the capital of Shang Dynasty. In front of us is the Imitation Yin Temple, which was built on the ruins of the capital palace in Shang Dynasty. It is like the heart of Yindu, the place where Shang kings discussed and worshipped in those days. Oracle Bone Inscriptions is on display in the hall now. Let's get into the main hall system and get to know Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Oracle bone inscriptions were first discovered in 1899 by imperial academy drinker Wang in Qing Dynasty. At that time, the land under our feet was still a farmland, and the surrounding villagers often dug up some Oracle bones in the soil. But they didn't know what it was, so they just threw it away. Later, when Sung Jae Lee, a barber in the village, shaved his customers' heads, he often cut his scalp and bled. He had no money to buy medicine, so he ground these bone fragments into powder and applied them to the wound. He found that the bleeding had stopped, and he realized that it was a kind of Chinese medicine called keel. So I started selling them to pharmacies in large quantities. Because at that time, most pharmacies only bought keels without words. Therefore, many farmers have to scrape the words off the bones before selling them. As everyone knows, such precious things have been drunk by patients. Fortunately, however, some written Oracle Bone Inscriptions were sold to Beijing and Tianjin and bought back by Wang. He happened to be very interested in the words on these Oracle bones, so he studied them carefully and confirmed that they were the earliest words in China-Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Today, we are fortunate to see these precious words, and we should thank the old gentleman. After Oracle Bone Inscriptions was confirmed, the value of the "keel" soared, causing the surrounding villagers to dig in succession, and some made a living from it. However, the excavations at that time were all private excavations, which caused great damage to Oracle Bone Inscriptions because of their low scientific content. Since 1928, in order to preserve these precious cultural relics, large-scale organized excavations have been carried out, and many Oracle Bone Inscriptions with historical research value have been excavated. Ok: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the end of today's lecture. You can move freely below. If you are interested, you can guess the words above. Remember to see you at noon, thank you!
