For Chinese, place names are not only special human memories, but also a piece of history and a culture. Located in the core area of the Golden Triangle of the Yellow River of Qin, Jin and Yu, Yongji is an important birthplace of Chinese civilization and the central area of Yangshao culture, with relics in ten towns and streets under its jurisdiction, the most representative of which is the Yangshao cultural pottery unearthed in Shizhuang Village, Puzhou Town.
Yangshao culture is one of the most representative archaeological cultures of the Neolithic period in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, with a relative age of about 7000-5000 years ago. About 6,000 years ago, Yangshao culture's pottery making skills into the heyday, pottery made of clay plate construction method is mainly food, container and water vessels, including bowls, bowls, basins, pots, pointed bottom bottles and other shapes, but also kettles, stoves, beans and other cooking utensils, this period of faience technology has been quite mature, its body generally uses red, black or white to paint variations of flowers, bird patterns, fish patterns and simplified geometric patterns, is a unique symbol of Yangshao culture.
The Shizhuang site is close to the main stream of the Yellow River in the west, and the terrain is a second-level terrace next to the river, with a relatively flat ground and a distribution area of about 200,000 square meters. As early as the Yangshao culture period, human tribes gathered here, and people sharpened stone axes, stone hoes and stone knives here, and it was because of the many and exquisite stone tools made here, so it was called "Shizhuang" and is still used today. The site of Shizhuang was first discovered in 1954, and since then many archaeological excavations have unearthed a large number of stone tools such as stone axes, stone gongs, stone chisels, stone knives, stone spinning wheels, as well as a large number of painted pottery fragments, single-eared cups, Jomon clay pots, bowls, stoves and other pottery, which have been verified by experts and belong to the typical Yangshao Temple Digou type culture. The Yangshao Cultural Temple Digou type faience at the Shizhuang site is mainly based on elephant bird patterns, simplified petal patterns and arc edges, dots, straight lines, and triangular patterns, although the patterns are complex and changeable, but the pattern layout is reasonable and the composition structure is rigorous.
Yang Yipu, deputy director of Yongji Museum: The painted pattern is generally in the exposed part of the upper abdomen to the mouth of the upper part of the basin and bowl utensils, and the reason for this is that Neolithic people sat on the ground a lot, and the viewing habits were often from top to bottom, and people's line of sight mostly stayed in the upper part of the artifact. The drawing pattern mainly uses red pottery tires as the base color to apply black color, which enhances the contrast of color and the visual impact of the pattern, which is a bit like the artistic concept of "knowing white and keeping black" in Chinese painting art, and is also the earliest embodiment of the Taoist attitude of "knowing its whiteness, keeping its black, and being the world's style".
The painted pottery, unearthed at the Shizhuang site, now in the Shanxi Museum, depicts highly generalized and refined rose-based plant flowers, and potters use abstract elements such as dots and curved triangles to represent the shingled corolla, buds, leaves and stems of roses. Mr. Su Bingqi, a taidou of modern Chinese archaeology, believes that the original meaning of "hua" of "China" is "flower", and the people with roses as the totem are called "Huazu", and the representative area is around Mount Hua, and "Chinese", "Chinese" and "Chinese" also originate from this. It can be proudly said that with the meaning of these beautiful painted pottery, the Chinese ancestors living on the land of Pusaka opened the opening curtain of Chinese civilization.
