On March 20，2021，the Sanxingdui site （三星堆遺址） in Guanghan，Sichuan drew the world's attention.Chinese archaeologists （考古學(xué)家） have found more than 500 cultural relics （文物） in six pits （坑） at the site，which dates back over 3，200 years.
   The Sanxingdui site，which was first discovered by a farmer in 1929，is believed to be the site of the ancient Shu Kingdom （蜀國(guó)）.The kingdom was a center of civilization （文明） along the Yangtze River.
   In 1986，archaeologists discovered two pits. They believed they were used for large sacrificial ceremonies （祭祀儀式）.At that time，over 1，000 relics were found.
   The discovery of Sanxingdui raised an important question about the origins （起源） of Chinese civilization.The ancient Shu civilization that built Sanxingdui is believed to be one of the earliest examples of Chinese civilization.The site，along with the Liangzhu and Shijiahe sites along the Yangtze River，shows that the birthplace of Chinese civilization might not have been only along the Yellow River Basin （流域） in north China.
   The newly-discovered relics are similar to those found in 1986，and they further support the idea that the pits were used for sacrificial purposes.
   New kinds of cultural relics have also been dug up.For example，experts found a kind of ancient bronze jar （青銅罐） that was used for holding water or wine.They also found a jade （玉） relic commonly found at 5，000-year-old Liangzhu Archaeological site in Zhejiang Province.
   "These relics show that the Sanxingdui site had a close connection with Central China，but it also marks an ancient civilization in Sichuan with strong creativity，" said Chen Xiandan，a member of the excavation （發(fā)掘） project.
