Topic: Jinsha


In the News (Fri 17 Feb 12)

  
  Jinsha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jinsha (金沙) is an archaeological site in Sichuan, China.
Located in the western suburbs of Chengdu, Jinsha was accidentally discovered in February 2001 during road construction.
Located about 50 kilometers away from Sanxingdui, the site flourished around 1000 BC and shares similarities in burial objects with the Sanxingdui site.

In the meantime, experts say there is little question that Jinsha had a close relationship as well with civilizations that originated in the Yellow River valley, judging from the artifacts it has yielded.
Another Jinsha relic that indicates a connection to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River is a jade vessel whose engravings are almost identical to those on vessels that appeared in the late period of the Liangchu culture, which began 5,000 years ago in an area in southeastern China.
The Jinsha green jade vessel is horizontally carved into 10 sections with nine shallow grooves, bringing about 80 convex lines on the whole piece.

 Images of lost Chinese civilization emerge anew -DAWN - International; July 13, 2005
JINSHA (China): Day after sweltering day on the banks of the Modi stream, archeologists are dealing shattering blows to traditional views of Chinese history as they work their way through the parched, yellow earth.
The Sanxingdui culture, which blossomed from 5000 to 3000 B.C., is characterized by the same radical strangeness as that unearthed at Jinsha.
The absence of a city wall in Jinsha is particularly strange, because cities in ancient China emerged as concentrations of political power, not trading centres as was mostly the case in the west.

Damming the Jinsha River in the valley would destroy the local environment, threaten the area's distinct plants and animals, and flood surrounding lands which are the most fertile in the mountains.
Adding leverage to their argument is the fact that the cities of central Yunnan produce 50 percent of the province's GDP and 66.7 percent of the province's industrial and agricultural output.
It is hard to convince people that the Jinsha River would not suffer the same fate even after it has been diverted smoothly to the regions as planned.
