Chapter 1957 Prehistoric Pottery, the First Milestone of Art

Music and dance in ancient times were closely related to primitive beliefs, and inseparable from secular spiritual life.

The group activities of singing and dancing are also an important means of pleasing people's hearts and promoting social communication.

"Music and Dance" displays some painted pottery with dance patterns, as well as various musical instruments such as pottery drums, pottery xuns, and rattles.

The typical representative is the Variant God-Ren Ewer, which shows a mysterious God-Ren.

There are many bubble-like things floating between Kamito and Kamito, and Kamito's head also shows such bubbles.

If it is related to the living habits of frogs, it is easy to think that these are frog eggs.

Compared with other Shenren patterns, the Shenren here have short limbs and look like babies.

Therefore, the content displayed by the pattern of the clay pot may be related to human reproduction worship activities.

Looking at these pottery, Chen Wenzhe felt very interesting.

Now he feels that he has made all kinds of porcelain, and it seems that there is nothing he has not done, so it seems good to make some pottery now.

"Is this a Li? Pottery Li is really rare. The most difficult thing is that it is so well preserved. This thing has been around for a long time, so it should be considered a prehistoric thing, right?"

It is not difficult for Chen Wenzhe to play pottery.

So, he knew pretty quickly that he had found something good.

"Ding" is the sky and "gee" is the ground. Among all kinds of prehistoric pottery, these two types of pottery should be considered rare.

Soil and rainwater are gifts from nature, but pottery is a great creation of prehistoric humans.

The ancients gained inspiration by observing the infiltration of rainwater on the soil and the firing of the soil by lightning in nature, and gradually understood the production process of pottery molding + firing, and began to make pottery for practical purposes.

With pottery, people can hold water and food (food utensils), cook food (cooking utensils), and store grain (storage utensils).

The appearance of pottery is one of the signs that human beings have entered the Neolithic Age.

With the cooperation of primitive agriculture and handicraft industry, the buds of civilization developed quietly.

my country has the oldest tradition of pottery making in the world, and in the course of ten thousand years later, a variety of pottery products with their own characteristics have been developed, such as cooking utensils, wine vessels, musical instruments and so on.

The flexibility and plasticity of clay clay allows people to give full play to their creativity. Later, porcelain was born on the basis of pottery.

It can be said that prehistoric pottery is the first milestone of Chinese civilization and art.

The representative of them is the tripod, such as the red pottery tripod with milk nail pattern of Peiligang culture.

Tao Ding, a cooking vessel and food container, was first discovered in the Peiligang culture of Nanhe.

This kind of pottery is 8500-7000 years ago. The tripod has solid legs, which can be used for cooking on the ground.

The pottery tripod was later found in both the Yellow River and Yangtze River valleys, and it is the most popular type of pottery.

In addition, there are three-legged tripod bowls made of Peiligang red pottery.

Three-legged bowl, an ancient container, was born in the Yellow River Basin 8000 years ago. It is shaped like a basin but has three small legs.

Then there is the brown pottery gala in the Dawenkou culture period, pottery gimp (guī), which is a three-legged wine utensil with a mouth like a bird's beak.

This kind of wine utensils originated from the Dawenkou culture in Qilu, 6300-4500 years ago, and is relatively common in the eastern region.

There are also small-mouthed pointed-bottomed bottles of the Banpo type in the Yangshao Culture. The small-mouthed pointed-bottomed bottles are a product of the Yangshao Culture, dating back 7000 to 5000 years.

It is one of the typical utensils, and its shape is very distinctive. It was originally thought to be used as a water drawer, and recent research suggests that the small-mouth pointed-bottom bottle has the function of drinking and brewing wine.

There are also Dawenkou culture painted pottery beans with octagonal star pattern, which is a kind of food container with high ring feet.

The earliest pottery beans discovered so far were unearthed at the Kuahu Bridge cultural site in Xiaoshan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, 8200-7200 years ago.

It is mainly found in the eastern region of my country. After the Shang and Zhou dynasties, bronze beans and lacquer beans appeared, which continued until the Han Dynasty.

The black pottery zhu from the Neolithic age at the Bauhinia site in Shangzhou, and the bronze zhu from the tomb of Fuhao from the Wuding period of the Shang king are among the classics.

Pottery pot, cooking utensil, round mouth, flat bottom, three legs, with three hollow legs to expand the heating area when cooking food.

Tao Gu was created by the residents of Miaodigou culture under the inspiration of Tao Ji, and it is 6000~5300 years ago.

By the Bronze Age, the shape of jia began to be used for wine vessels.

In addition to the tripod, the Neolithic Longshan Culture pottery ge is the most common type of utensil.

Tao Li, which can be used as a cooking vessel and a food container at the same time, is characterized by a wide mouth, a round belly, and three hollow pocket feet.

In the Longshan era, that is, 4500 to 4000 years ago, it began to rise in the northwest of my country, and then spread to the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River.

Even in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the pottery ge continued to be popular among the people.

The white pottery pottery at the Erlitou cultural site is a wine container with a tubular spout and three hollow feet.

The pottery girdle, which may have originated from the Dawenkou culture, was widely found in the Yellow River Basin during the Longshan and Erlitou periods (3800-3500 BP).

In addition to the Dawenkou Culture in Qilu, there are also some ruins, such as the Yaoguanzhuang Cultural Site in Weicheng, where eggshell black pottery cups were unearthed.

The eggshell black pottery cup is also a drinking vessel, a typical utensil of the Longshan Culture (4500~4000 years ago) in the Qilu area.

This kind of pottery cup is named because the wall is as thin as an eggshell. The surface of the carcass has been polished for a long time to make the carcass shine. It is only produced in the top tombs and is considered an important ritual vessel.

Then there are the Cishan Culture Red Pottery Utensils, as well as the Cishan Culture Red Pottery Utensils and their legs.

The pottery bowl, a flat-bottomed cooking vessel that needs to be set up on legs, was gradually replaced by the easier-to-use tripod.

Pottery steamer, cooking device, the principle of use is similar to today's steamer.

It consists of upper and lower parts, the upper part is a bottomless retort for food, and the lower part is a retort for boiling water.

The grate in the middle is a bamboo utensil that has gaps and can function as a distance.

There are holes in the grate for steam, and the steam generated can steam the food in the upper part. It is widely found in the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins.

Like prehistoric pottery, where the largest number is naturally the Forbidden City Ceramics Museum.

Some of the fine works must be painted pottery from the Neolithic Age. These works are close to life and full of imagination.

Human beings learn to use fire, that is, they find that the soil that has been burned by fire will harden.

This may be the reason why early humans all over the world made pottery.

But not every civilization has turned pottery into works of art.

Our Yangshao culture 7000 years ago had exquisite painted pottery, and then Dawenkou culture, Longshan culture...

These civilizations throughout the Neolithic Age, and even the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties had mature pottery-making skills.

Painted pottery refers to pottery painted with black, red, white, brown and other color patterns.

The color material is ground from natural mineral raw materials containing iron oxide and manganese oxide.

After the molded pottery blank is painted with a brush dipped in colored materials, it is baked at a temperature of about 900 degrees in a kiln.
