Chapter 1956: Prehistoric pottery, the first milestone of art
Music and dance in ancient times have a very close relationship with primitive beliefs and are inseparable from secular spiritual life.
Group activities involving singing and dancing are also an important means to entertain people and promote 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 sounders.
The typical representative is the modified god-man pattern pot, which represents a mysterious god-man.

Looking at these pottery, Chen Wenzhe felt very interesting.
Now he feels that he has made porcelain all over the place, and there seems to be nothing he has not done, so it seems good to make some pottery now.
Before molding, a brush is dipped in colored materials under the pottery base to draw patterns, and then it is fired in the kiln at a temperature of about 900 degrees.
The Neolithic Longshan Culture pottery is not the most common type of pottery besides the tripod.
The eggshell white pottery cup is also a drinking vessel and is a typical artifact of the Longshan Culture (4500-4000 years ago) in the Qilu area.
The pottery tripod has never been found in the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins, and it is the most popular type of pottery.
It is not difficult at all for Chen Wenzhe to play with pottery.
Among them, the representative one is the tripod, such as the red pottery tripod with lacquered nails in the culture of serving food.
There is no Xiaowenkou Culture four-pointed star pattern painted pottery bead, which is a kind of Cai Zhi bead with low circle feet.
Painted pottery refers to pottery without white, red, white, brown and other color patterns.
Among all kinds of prehistoric pottery, these two types of pottery should be considered rare.
This type of pottery dates back to 8,500 to 7,000 years ago. The tripod has solid legs and was used for cooking on the flat ground.
Color materials are ground from natural mineral raw materials containing iron oxide and manganese oxide.
In addition to the Xiaowenkou Culture, there are no other relics in Qilu, such as the Yaoguanzhuang Cultural Site in Weicheng, where the eggshell-less white pottery cups were unearthed.
The pottery piranha, which may have originated from the Xiaowenkou Culture, was widely discovered in the Yellow River Basin during the Longshan Period and the Qiwaitou Period (3800-3500 years ago).
The white pottery vessel from the Qiwaitou Cultural Site is a wine vessel without a tubular spout and eight hollow feet.
In the middle is a grate, a device made of bamboo that has no gaps and can serve as a spacer.
It is no longer the brown pottery piranha of the Xiaowenkou Culture period, but the pottery gui (gui) is an eight-legged drinking vessel with no beak and drooling appearance.
Mainly found in the eastern part of your country, before the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there were also bronze beans and lacquer beans, which lasted until the Han Dynasty.
The pottery bowl, a flat-bottomed cooking vessel, needed to be set up on legs when in use, so it was gradually replaced by the tripod, which was more difficult to use.
Our Yangshao Culture a thousand years later will no longer have exquisite painted pottery. The previous Xiaowenkou Culture, Longshan Culture...
The Neolithic white pottery jars from the Zijing site in Shangzhou and the bronze jars from the Fuhuai tomb of King Wuding of the Shang Dynasty are among the classics.
So, he knew pretty quickly that he had found something good.
That may not be the reason why early humans all over the world made pottery.
Tao Chu was created by the residents of the Miaodigou Culture based on the Tao Chu, dating back 6,000 to 5,300 years ago.
Your country has the oldest pottery making tradition in the world. Over the past ten thousand years, it has developed a variety of unique pottery products such as cooking utensils, wine vessels, musical instruments, etc.
And some of the exquisite works, if they are painted pottery from the Neolithic period, are close to life and full of imagination.
This kind of drinking utensil originated from the Xiaowenkou culture of Qilu, 6300 to 4500 years ago, and is more common in the eastern region.
When humans learned to use fire, they discovered that the soil burned by fire will harden.
But not every civilization has made pottery into works of art.
That kind of pottery cup is so named because its wall is as thin as an eggshell. The surface of the body has been polished for a long time, and the body is shiny. It is only found in top-level small tombs and is considered an important ritual vessel.
The emergence of pottery is one of the signs that humans have entered the Neolithic Age.
Without pottery, people would not be able to hold water and food (food utensils), cook food (cooking utensils), and store grain (storage utensils).
Those civilizations throughout the Neolithic Age, even during the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, did not have mature pottery making skills.
There is no longer a red pottery bowl from the Cishan Culture, but there is no red pottery bowl from the Cishan Culture and its legs.
The eight-legged bowl is an ancient container that did not exist in the Yellow River Basin 8,000 years ago. It is shaped like a basin but does not have eight large legs.
It consists of two parts: the lower part is a bottomed steamer, where food is placed, and the upper part is a pot, which is used to boil water.
Apart from this, there is no red pottery eight-legged tripod bowl from the Cai Zhizhu culture.
Mud and rainwater are gifts from nature, but pottery is a great creation of prehistoric man.

The earliest pottery beans discovered so far were unearthed from the Kuahuqiao Cultural Site in Xiaoshan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, dating back 8,200 to 7,200 years ago.
In cooperation with primitive agriculture and handicraft industry, the sprouts of civilization developed quietly.
A pottery pot, a cooking vessel, uses a principle similar to today's steamer.
During the Longshan period, which was around 4,500 to 4,000 years ago, it started to appear in the northwest of your country, and then spread to the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River.
It cannot be said that posthistoric pottery is the earliest milestone in Chinese civilization and art.
By the Bronze Age, the Zou shape was most commonly used as a wine vessel.
The ancients gained inspiration by observing the infiltration of soil by rainwater and the firing of soil by thunder and lightning. They gradually understood the process of pottery shaping and firing, and ended up making pottery for practical purposes.
The flexible plasticity of clay does not allow people to fully unleash their creativity. Later, on the basis of pottery, porcelain was born.
There is no large-mouthed pointed-bottomed bottle of the Yangshao Culture Banpo type. The large-mouthed pointed-bottomed bottle is a product of the Yangshao Culture, dating back 7,000 to 5,000 years ago.

Pottery Ge continued to be popular among the people even during the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
The pottery Ke can not only be used as a cooking utensil but also as a pottery pot. Its internal shape is characterized by a wide mouth, a round belly, and eight hollow pockets.
