Tiger Double Eagle Pei
The overall shape of this artifact is that two eagles stand on both sides of the altar in the shape of "Jie", and the shape below is more abstract, generally believed to be a divine beast tiger, or it may be a side image of the divine bird owl, and may even be the front of the god man. The hollowed out part in the middle is the shape of a "frog".
Overall moral: The wizard brings the souls of divine beasts, birds, or gods and men to the heavens through the "eagle", the master of the sky, which is an expression of a sacred vision of the sacrificial process.
Jade Eagle
The eagle is a common shape among jade artifacts unearthed in Shijiahe. The eagle is the master of the sky and the messenger to the celestial realm, so it has become the image of the worship of the ancestors of Shijiahe, pinning their ideal vision of communicating with the gods and leading to the divine realm.
Conjoined double Yujue
The shape is peculiar and rare, the whole is a snake body image of the double head, the head of the person wears a crown, and the ear is decorated with an S-shaped simplified snake, the jade is the embodiment of the belief of the ancestors of Shijiahe in the dragon snake that contains the energy of the heavens, and it is also the earliest physical evidence of the legend of the snake body of the human head.
