Chapter 1960: No beginning, no end, endless aftertaste
If you can make pottery, you have met the basic conditions for making painted pottery.
Once you get to know some colorful materials, the pattern of the painted pottery will no longer be a problem.
The painted pottery pattern has a large number of geometric patterns.
This is not only the continuation and change of the woven patterns and patterns such as fish nets, water vortexes, leaves, etc. in early pottery, but it is also the inner musical surge and visual expression of primitive people.
It is undoubtedly a magical creation that people can express the rhythmic sense of movement, balance, repetition, strength and weakness that they experience with a brush.
The animal and plant shapes in painted pottery are generally summarized in geometric shapes, which have both form and spirit, showing the superb level of freehand brushwork in the art of painted pottery.
There are various pictographic patterns in painted pottery, and the most basic theme is the theme of reproduction.
There are a large number of depictions of fish, frogs, plant fruits, and flowers.
The average life expectancy of people in the Banpo era was twenty or thirty years, and childbirth was both a mysterious and urgent matter.
Therefore, prolific animals such as fish and frogs have become symbols of fertility.
That is also a basic rule that has been widely used in poetry, poetry, painting and architecture.
It's just that the meaning and symbol will be distorted as social customs change.
Majiayao type painted pottery, urns, bottles, pots and jars.
The images of "scratching dolls" in folk art are ever-changing, but they are always regarded as gods for human reproduction and self-protection.
No matter what kind of pottery or porcelain you make, you need to pay attention to the quality of the embryo.
That is, the picture has both a starting point and an end point, and is presented as a whole;
The pottery is round and faces seven directions, and the figurative patterns focus people's attention on one side, tending to form a focal point, a fixed point.
The color painting is rarely applied to the lower half of the inner wall of the small-mouthed, large-bottomed curved abdominal basin. The style is heavy and straight, and the patterns are rarely depicted with arcs.
Seventh, the creation and appreciation of painted pottery is based on "looking up and looking down".
Due to the poor firing technical conditions at that time and the relatively high firing temperature, the fired pottery did not have very weak water absorption.
Another characteristic of the painted pottery of your country that is the same as the painted pottery of other cultures is that whether it is a basin, a bowl, a bottle or a jar, the effect of looking up from the bottom is noticed.
Seventh, "Look up and look down, and look up from below."
The Banpo type of painted pottery is represented by those unearthed from sites such as Chang'an Banpo, Chang'an Zhangjiangzhai, and Baoji Beishouling.
The evolution of this Chinese way of contemplation is also a basic principle widely used in poetry, painting and architecture.
The painted pottery has been buried in the ground for thousands of years. Due to long-term accumulation, the surface of the pottery is covered with "scale".
Colored pottery is usually a circle-bottomed flat-bottomed bowl, a flat-bottomed basin, a pen-bellied jar, a narrow-necked bottle, etc.
On the basis of improving functions, the shapes of painted pottery are ever-changing.
A few patterns are composed of seven consecutive directions, which is a wonderful combination of reality and reality.
In addition to animal graphics such as birds, fish, and frogs, the most fluid decorative techniques are patterns composed of dots, curved edges, octagons, hanging curtains, pods, petals, buds, etc., and plant patterns have increased significantly.
When you weigh the pottery with your hands, it feels heavier;
Patterns are painted on eye-catching locations such as the rim of the mouth, shoulders, and lower belly, or on the inner wall of an open basin.
Those adults were in groups of 5 each, with no headdresses or taildresses.
The mixed clay is not flexible, and the fired pottery has no "glue" texture to the naked eye.
The painted pottery made by ancient ancestors uses high-quality pottery clay that has been deposited by river water. It is pure without impurities and is as moist as powder cake;
Therefore, patterns like the handle-sama are created purely for entertainment.
Ancient pottery is the daily utensils of our ancestors. After being buried in the ground, there is no trace of scratches on the body.
The Miaodigou type of painted pottery is represented by those unearthed from the Miaodigou site in Shaanxi County, Nanhe and Quanhu Village sites in Hua County, West Shaanxi.
Use two short lines to draw the eyes, as if you are praying silently with your eyes closed.
And that kind of "wandering eye" is a basic aesthetic principle of Chinese paintings and gardens.
There is no natural wear and tear on the device body after long-term use.
When making a piece of ceramics, in addition to its quality, the most important thing is its shape.
The handle-handling pattern is a very important motif outside of folk art. It is called "hand-holding doll" and is generally called "hand-holding doll".
The first is the law of wandering eyes, which is a basic aesthetic principle of Chinese painting and Chinese gardens.
This fully reflects the artistic talent of the pottery maker and his passion for creation.
If you hit the pottery body with your hands, it will make a high-pitched mute sound;
During this period, I felt a sense of "endlessness" in the infinite round surface of the painted pottery.
Fish are painted on both ears and mouth, and fish are also painted on other parts of the basin.
Real "scale" can be removed by rinsing with water. Use dilute hydrochloric acid to brush the "scale". You will see white smoke and white foam coming from the "scale".
There are some very special graphics, such as the human-faced and fish-patterned basin unearthed in Banpo, which depicts patterns on the inner wall of the basin.
There is no "shell color paste" produced by contact with air, water, grease, etc.
It can be seen from this that the creation and appreciation of painted pottery is based on the Chinese observation method of "looking up and looking down".
And they are the same type of decorative techniques and artistic effects, each with its own characteristics.
To make those ancient painted pottery, you must first know and understand them.
In addition to geometric patterns such as narrow strips of octagonal strips, diagonal lines, and twists and turns, the patterns also include a small number of animal patterns. The former has a strong painterly interest.
Genuine ancient pottery gives people the impression of being simple, honest, natural, severe, weathered, and has no harsh sense of fire.
The motif of using fish to decorate the human body has continued beyond folk art.
In this way, the painting of painted pottery naturally became a moving scattered perspective, which allowed him to appreciate the painted pottery "step by step and look at it from side to side".
These pots are decorated with a round face and a triangular nose.
There should be a light pressing feel; when the pottery is wet with water, you can smell a strong earthy smell; if you carefully observe the surface of the pottery, there will be no small needle holes.
The decorative area is small, and the patterns are mainly swirl patterns, wavy patterns, and curved octagonal patterns. It has the characteristics of dense composition and few changes in convolutions.
For example, after drawing the seven-sided pattern on bottles and cans, care was taken to take care of the pattern near the neck of the bottle and can, so that a harmonious pattern is formed when viewed from below.
That kind of graphics seems to have nothing to do with the original beliefs of the Banpo clan, but is a product of totem worship.
The theme of fertility and reproduction continues in folk art.
The rules that are not decorated outside cannot be said to be rules.
First, "There is a beginning and an end, and the aftertaste is endless."
It contains the nature of "witchcraft" and is a product that serves human beings' own practical purposes.
Before the concrete pattern turns into abstraction, the entire pattern is no longer wandering, but faces seven sides, making the seven sides form a coherent whole with no starting point and no end.
Especially in matrilineal clan societies, the praise of fertility is the praise of women.
The Majiayao type painted pottery basin with dancing patterns unearthed in Sunjiazhai, Xiaotong, Qinghai Province, has eight groups of figures holding hands on the inner wall near the mouth of the basin.
