The cultural relics unearthed in the Jinsha Ruin-gold masks

Anciently named 'Shu', Sichuan is one of the provinces that have the longest history and most brilliant culture in China. Chengdu, which has flat topography and advanced water conservancy, together with Western Sichuan Plain have bred the splendid civilization of ancient Shu. Some experts thought that the ancient Chinese civilization was originated from Sichuan and Minjiang River Valley, which lies in the upper reaches of Yangtze River. Thus, this conclusion stood against the traditional saying of originating from Yellow River . But archaeological discoveries in recent years have adequately proved this conclusion further. And Jinsha, which has stringed the pearl necklace of ancient Shu's civilization, made the profile of ancient Shu's civilization clearer day by day.
