The natural environment of Sichuan Province is extremely favorable to human habitation, so much so, in fact, that the province has long been nicknamed the "land of plenty." Unlike sites in the North China Plain, much of the sculpture from Sanxingdui is modeled on nature. Beautifully executed statues of plants and animals number in the hundreds.
四川號稱「天府之國」，自然環境得天獨厚，出土的文物中也可見到北方中原遺蹟少見的大自然塑像，包括造型豐富、數量上百的鳥獸與大神樹。
