China has entered into the civilization time with the coexistence of bronze and stone wares

witchcraft Appliances evolution they are likely from a witchcraft spell, which embodies the content and form of the people witchcraft activities changing, but also its own have general applicability, "and thus that the" realistic graphics of the prehistoric period to the evolution of the geometry is the originator of witchcraft spells. In 1974 unearthed a bronze in the Erlitou relic of Yanshi in Henan province. Painted Pottery in the early realistic move plant grain and later bronze patterns of geometric expression of the cultural connotations should have the consistency, coherence, it seems no doubt, but, as the dynamic of the early plant grain as a totem.
 They are naturally in the performance of the actual things change and development from, not from the artist's abstract idea of the precise meaning in order to find decorative, they always the primary target on the reduction of the decorative symbols, such an approach is correct in some ways, the most abstract things there must be some realistic basis for this restore is very difficult. decoration pattern is always a distortion, in ancient times, this deformation due to several generations to follow and imitate them beyond recognition, coupled with some decorative patterns may simply be a product of certain ideas or religious ideas and are not a kinds of specific things the prototype, so the reproducibility restore even more impossible. even if we manage to restore may be lost in the new broom sweeps clean. From then on, China has entered into the civilization time with the coexistence of bronze and stone wares.
Mr. Li Zehou culture of painted pottery decoration of the Yangshao culture, Majiayao made to read the aforementioned kind of people feel the hard effort of explanation, and quite in-depth discussion of the use of the concept of "accumulation", totem, quoted a number of archaeologists Painted Pottery of understanding, then said: "The evolution of pottery design is a very complex and difficult scientific problems still need to explore in depth, but the specific evolution process, order or meaning is not always accurate and reliable, although still with a lot of speculate guess ingredients and even the wrong conclusion, however, by the realistic, vivid, diverse image of the animal evolved into abstract symbols. The middle for the head-shaped, so there is an extended tail. Anyhow, China officially got into the Age of bronze in about 2000 BC.
the standardization of geometric decoration overall trends and patterns of as a scientific hypothesis, from animal images to geometric patterns, pottery design is not the pure form of 'decoration', 'aesthetic' a sufficient basis for an established, while the sacred meaning of the clan totem, like can also be set up. The period of the bronze lasted through the Xia, Shang, Western Zhou Dynasty and Spring and Autumn period about 15 centuries. This explanation is really near, let them go, rather indirect, nine ileum, fully illustrated understand and grasp the difficulty of Painted Pottery. Lee this is mildly tortuous is not accidental, although it has only "consensus" for a number of archaeologists. It stands to reason, to abstract geometric patterns from realistic image of the animal, generally come to the understanding on the basis of stratigraphic relations and typology parallelism, a certain geometric patterns move by some plant ornamentation evolved clues.
