I am from more than 5,000 years ago "Qi Bangs Girl", this name is a screen name given to me by netizens according to my characteristics.
My scientific name is the human head-shaped vessel-mouth painted pottery vase, and I am now working in the Gansu Provincial Museum, and my title is the first-class cultural relics in the collection. I am also a "national treasure", a national first-class cultural relic.
My hometown is at the Dadiwan site in Qin'an County, Tianshui City, Gansu Province. Facing the river and backed by the mountains, it contains the ruins of early Yangshao villages and the remains of primitive palaces. In the 70s of the 20th century, more than 200 pieces of painted pottery were unearthed at the Dadiwan site.
I am a "conspicuous bag" in Gansu, because I am the only painted pottery vase with a human figure unearthed at the Dadiwan site so far.
You see that my mouth is a round carved head, with round eyes, short hair and forehead, straight nose and small mouth, upright facial features, beautiful face, black color on the bottle body, and small holes in both ears for hanging ornaments, anyone who looks at me will be attracted by my mystery and beauty.
I don't know which "Tony" designed this bangs hairstyle for me, is it "Thai cool and spicy"!
My hometown, Gansu, is one of the first areas in the world where painted pottery appeared. In the preederior area of Longshan Mountain at the southwest foot of the Loess Plateau, the Wei River alluvial fertile soil, where the pure and delicate soil provides excellent clay for making pottery. The ancestors made clay into pottery, and the production was improved and the culture continued.
I belong to the type of temple ditch in Yangshao culture, which is made of fine clay red pottery, and the whole is a long cylinder with two pointed ends.
Yangshao culture is a widely distributed and far-reaching Neolithic culture in the Yellow River Valley in the north of the mainland, about 7,000 to 5,000 years ago. Archaeologists usually divide the Yangshao culture into three periods: early, middle and late.
The second phase of Dadiwan is the early stage of Yangshao culture, and I came out at this time.
During this period, the pottery was mainly made of fine mud and sand red pottery, and the typical utensils included round-bottomed bowls, stacked lip or lip-curling basins, gourd-shaped pointed bottom bottles, extravagant double-lip deep-bellied jars, string-patterned shallow belly jars, mouth urns, pointed bottom jars, etc., which were mainly used as living utensils, production tools, decorations and other purposes.
Painted symbol pottery shards, unearthed at the Dadiwan site. The pottery shards are 10 cm, 7.8 cm and 7.2 cm long, respectively. On some painted pottery bowls of Dadiwan culture, painted with red single symbols, more than 10 kinds have been found to have "↑", "+", "×", "∣∣", etc., which is the predecessor of the painted pottery bowl carved symbols of Yangshao culture Banpo type, which is of great significance to the study of the development of ancient Chinese characters.
Fish-pattern painted pottery pot, Yangshao culture Banpo type (6000 years ago), unearthed in Wangjiayin Depression in Qin'an County, 15 cm high, 50 cm in diameter. Wide mouth, curly lips, curved walls, round bottom. Clay terracotta with two groups of variant fish patterns painted in black on the upper abdomen.
Jomon red pottery circle foot bowl, unearthed at the Dadiwan site in Qin'an County, with a diameter of 18 cm. The Dadiwan culture is one of the earliest ancient cultures in the Yellow River Basin. The pottery is mostly red pottery with fine sand, and is characterized by the cross rope pattern printed on the pottery table. The style of the hoop-footed bowl, which appeared 8,000 years ago, is still used today.
The production methods of painted pottery in this period mainly include the inner mold mud method and the mud strip plate construction method, the painted pottery generally uses black color, wide band pattern, vivid and lively fish pattern and a variety of straight lines, dots, arcs to form the geometric lines are simple and bright, the pattern is regular and orderly, and the pattern with the theme of fish, birds, petals and leaves shows the harmonious relationship between man and nature.
Arc edge triangle pattern faience pot, Yangshao culture temple ditch type (5500 years ago), Qin'an County Dadiwan site unearthed, height 16.4 cm, diameter 39 cm, bottom diameter 13.2 cm. The vessel is dressed in orange and yellow pottery, and the abdomen is decorated with two opposite arc triangles in black color for a week.
Our simple altars and jars not only met the living needs of the people at that time, but also became the initial artistic creation of the ancestors.
Jia Jianwei, director of the Gansu Provincial Museum, who led my leader, said: "The surging Yellow River, the majestic and fertile Loess Plateau, and the Hexi Corridor, which stretches for thousands of miles, have given birth to a rich and developed Neolithic and Bronze Age culture, including the colorful painted pottery art, which is the embodiment of Gansu's unique cultural features that have lasted for thousands of years, and is also a brilliant page in the origin of Chinese civilization." ”
The faience ornaments carved on my bottle resemble the boiling Yellow River, full of vitality, and the slightly bulging belly is also reminiscent of the mother of the Yellow River, which gave birth to Chinese civilization.
In our Gansu painted pottery family, you appreciate the beauty of different pottery from different angles, but the same is that we all condense the wisdom of the ancients and hide the code of civilization. Welcome to the Gansu Provincial Museum to see me and my friends!
