Sanxingdui in Ancient Shu: the Rise and Fall of the Yufu Dynasty

"Sanxingdui of Ancient Shu: The Rise and Fall of the Yufu Dynasty" is a full-length historical drama novel created in the style of the "February River Emperor Series". The book consists of four volumes and thirty-two chapters. From the perspective of A Zong, a craftsman of the ancient Shu Kingdom, he tells his growth process from surviving for his family to fighting for his country against the backdrop of fierce competition between theocracy and royal power, invasion by foreign enemies, and the annihilation of civilization. The novel deeply depicts the struggle and powerlessness of personal destiny in the torrent of history through the love tragedy between Azong and the dancing girl Qingyi, and the complicated entanglement with the Yufu King and the high priest. Strictly based on Sanxingdui archaeological evidence, the work interprets mysterious cultural relics such as the Bronze Sacred Tree and the Zongmu Mask as symbols of belief and politics of the ancient Shu people. It ultimately echoes modern archaeological discoveries as "buried national treasures" and constructs a dialogue between civilizations spanning three thousand years, aiming to present the tragic fate of civilization's glory and destruction.
