The kiln fire has been around for thousands of years. The Chinese Archaeological Museum is exhibiting heavy pottery relics
After watching the lively and joyful New Year activities, you might as well go to the museum to experience the strong historical and cultural atmosphere. As one of the series of activities of "Celebrating the New Year in the Museum", the "Classic Achievements Exhibition of Science and Technology Archaeology and Heritage Protection" launched by the China Archaeology Museum is currently in full swing. The earliest known pottery films and Hongshan cultural pottery portraits in my country have been launched in a concentrated manner. After seeing these heavyweight cultural relics, you will have the most intuitive and strongest understanding of the glory and splendor of Chinese civilization.
In the exhibition hall where heavy objects are gathered, this inconspicuous pottery piece, which at first glance is actually the first cultural relic in the entire exhibition, because it represents the origin of the history of Chinese ceramics.
After the invention of pottery, humans could use it as memory or as cookers to heat food, which broadened the breadth of human life. About 9,000 years ago, prehistoric kiln workers gradually mastered the painting technology, and painted pottery was invented. With the advent of the Yangshao era, Chinese painted pottery began to shine, forming a far-reaching "Path of Painted Pottery", which was not only the primary channel for early cultural exchanges between China and the West, but also the predecessor of the "Silk Road". Among them, Majiayao painted pottery is a very representative "pearl". During the Hongshan Cultural Period, which dates from 6500 to 5000 years ago, the pottery figures bear the cultural roots of ancestor worship.
Experts introduced that there are relatively dense Hongshan cultural sites distributed in Aohan Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia. In May 2012, while archaeological experts conducted an archaeological investigation around the Chinese civilization source exploration project, some pottery fragments were found on the ground, and then rescue excavation was carried out. It took more than a month to restore the pottery man with the 65 pieces found.
The Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses were made of mud strips. This piece of Hongshan Culture's whole pottery also used mud strips to build. The head is made of narrow mud strips of 1.5-2 cm, and the body is made of wide mud strips of 2-4 cm, and then spliced and synthesized. The potter's appearance is polished with bone tools and clam shell tools, and the face is finely polished, and finally the eyes are depicted with black color.
Three jade wares contain two thousand years of history of jade culture inheritance
Archaeology confirms that Chinese jade has a history of technology and cultural development for nearly ten thousand years. Next, we will continue to enter the New Year Cultural Relics Exhibition of the Chinese Archaeology Museum, from jade, bronze and other national treasures, as well as the cultural relics restoration and display area specially moved into the exhibition hall, to see the joint efforts of the ancients and modern people in continuing the Chinese cultural context.
This exhibition displays a total of 125 sets of fine cultural relics, including the largest number of jade, with 70 sets. Experts introduced that since the Stone Age, our ancestors selected jade materials of superior texture and made them into tools through millions of screenings of various stones. Archaeological discoveries show that the earliest real jade artifact in my country was discovered at the Xinglongwa site in Aohan Banner, Inner Mongolia, about 8,000 years ago. During the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, jade wares symbolized the development and maturity of the ritual system, and also carried the profound concepts of ancient people's worship of heaven and earth, respecting heaven and law ancestors.
The three jade hook-shaped instruments are similar in shape because they all belong to the typical Hongshan culture instruments. However, they are unearthed from Balin You Banner, Inner Mongolia Aohan Banner, and Yinxu Fu Hao's Tomb in Anyang, Henan. These three cultural relics connect the inheritance history of ancient Chinese jade and jade culture spanning two thousand years.
After a long burial of cultural relics, weathering, corrosion, etc., usually occur, and archaeologists need to restore their original appearance through scientific restoration methods. This exhibition will set up a laboratory archaeological display area to allow the audience to experience the charm of scientific and technological archaeology and cultural relics protection work up close.
According to reports, the exhibition is sponsored by the Chinese Academy of History and the cultural relics are from the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, archaeological institutions of Gansu Province, Jiangxi Province, and Zhengzhou City, as well as the Balin Youqi Museum and Aohan Museum. The exhibition will last until June 2, 2025 and will be open to the public every Wednesday to Sunday. Visitors need to make a reservation for ticket purchases in real name.
