Sanxingdui cultural relics are constantly being "updated". What important information does the turtle-back grid carry?

Sanxingdui, known as the eighth wonder of the world, is still being excavated intensively. At present, the main excavation pits 7 and 8 are fruitful. The recent excavation of an artifact in Sanxingdui shocked the world. The shape of this object is very special. Like a turtle shell, it is made of bronze and the two sides are compounded together. There is a huge jade piece inside. Some people call it Moonlight Box, others call it Sanxingdui People's Grill. This is the first time that an object of this shape has been found in the archaeological history of China and even the world. At present, no one can accurately judge what it is used for.

This gridded bronze is like a box wrapped in beautiful jade, surrounded by four castings like faucets, and even more strangely, it is wrapped in ribbons. Because the history of Sanxingdui is highly consistent with the Shang Dynasty in the Central Plains, many people speculate that this kind of grid-like object, which is a bit like tortoise shell, is used for divination and sacrifice to heaven. Because of the influence of the Central Plains culture, the highest-grade jade is used for sacrifice to heaven, and tortoise shell is also the most commonly used divination carrier for primitive people at the same time. This is only the speculation of individual experts, and it has not been verified at present.

Experts found through the microscope that there were very heavy fabric residues on the surface of the bronze and the jade inside, indicating that Sanxingdui people paid special attention to this kind of utensils. The exquisite jade articles inside the vessel and the gridded bronze boxes outside were all wrapped or decorated with extremely precious silk at that time. It can be seen that this thing is by no means an ordinary object, but it may be a heavy weapon of the country, and this treasure can only be used when holding the highest standard sacrifice ceremony to worship the sky. From the fact that Sanxingdui people attach so much importance to the role of jade, we can see that Sanxingdui culture in Sichuan is naturally influenced by Central Plains culture.

At present, the surface of the grid-like internal jewelry has not been cleaned up, and experts have high hopes for finding the corresponding words on this national treasure. If these words can be found, it will be a discovery that shocked the world and will naturally solve many unsolved mysteries of Sanxingdui culture.
