On June 16, the Sanxingdui archaeological research team announced that the newly discovered bronze statue of the snake body in No. 8 "Sacrificial Pit" was successfully matched with the remnants of the bronze bird-footed figure unearthed in the No. 2 "Sacrificial Pit" in 1986. The cultural relic has been renamed as the statue of the bird-footed body and the top of the statue.

After 3,000 years of "separation", they finally reunited. Experts believe that this imaginative and precious cultural relic can be called the "peak work" of Chinese bronze civilization.
