There are still many types of pottery of the Liangzhu people.

Just the cooking utensils, there is a pottery tripod - this kind of pottery can only cook porridge, and if you want to eat dry rice, it can't be made.

And the Liangzhu people who cook dry rice have a special pottery partition Ding and Tao Ding retort, which have a compartment in the Ding, put water below, and put rice steamed on top, so that you can cook dry rice.

In terms of studying how to cook, the Liangzhu people, who have mastered professional rice crop farming, have certainly studied a lot, and the things they have researched seem to be good.

Cooking methods such as Tao Ding retort still exist until modern times, but the Ding is changed to a pot.

Of course, if there is a cooking utensil, then there will be a food container, which is a bowl for serving food, a bowl for eating.

The food container used by the Liangzhu people is mainly "beans", and it is a black pottery bean with Liangzhu characteristics.

Beans are a lot like stilts.

The Dawenkou site has unearthed pottery beans, which are mainly used to hold grains such as millet and millet, and then used to hold condiments such as pickles and meat sauce.

The Dawenkou site is in the Shandong area north of Liangzhu, and it appeared as early as 6,100 years ago, and there was an exchange with Liangzhu.

Obviously, the "bean" culture of Liangzhu may come from the influence of Dawenkou culture.

However, Liangzhu's beans also have their own evolutionary style.

The later the Liangzhu period, the more slender the bean handle becomes.

It doesn't look like a food container, but more like a lamp, and I don't know if it is troublesome for Liangzhu people to eat with such a tall "bowl".

However, the "bean" has always been very popular in China, until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it is a common food container used by most Chinese people, which shows that this vessel is very durable and easy to use.

Of course, the same is true for Ding.

The inheritance of Huaxia is truly magical.

The same food container and cooking utensils that first appeared 6,000 years ago, are still in use three or four thousand years later, and more people use them.

This kind of inheritance of thousands of years, Europeans really dare not think of it!

They did not develop their own characteristic food containers until the Middle Ages, only simple plates and bowls.

It is no wonder that Europeans have always been reluctant to admit that Chinese culture is long and does not admit that it is 5,000 years old.

Their barren culture and imagination simply can't believe that a culture can be passed down for so long.

The frog at the bottom of the well.

Of course, receptacles (cans), wine containers, wine containers (cups), and even wine strainers have all appeared in Liangzhu and are very mature.

The wine glasses of Liangzhu are basically exactly the same as several wine glass styles commonly used by modern people.

On the contrary, there are no tools such as the later complicated knights.

Our ancestors have been using cups and cups with handles 5,000 years ago, and after 5,000 years, modern people have returned to their roots and returned to this simple and easy-to-use type.

It can be seen that after going around and around, we still found that the simplest type used by our ancestors is the most convenient and easy to use.

Of course, for modern people, the most stunned thing is the jade of Liangzhu, and if you want to use something to represent the Liangzhu civilization, the first choice is jade.

Among the six Chinese vessels, four are from the Liangzhu culture.

"The ritual is great, so it is called the summer", jade is used for sacrifices, praying for good weather, sacrificing ancestors, sacrificing the dead and so on.

Many later cultures have jade, why don't we say that they are the source of Chinese national jade culture?

The main reason is that either the use of jade (ritual system) has not been inherited by Chinese culture, or the jade of this culture has been inherited in Liangzhu.

For example, Yujue, Majiabang, Songze, Lingjiatan, Hongshan, Shijiahe, Shandong Longshan, etc., many cultures have them, and they have different shapes.

But before Liangzhu, Yujue was used as earrings.

It wasn't until Liangzhu started that Yu Jue was pierced and used as an accessory on clothes.

This method of use spread to the Shijiahe culture in Hubei and the Longshan culture in Shandong, and it was not until the Shang and Zhou dynasties that Yujue was used as an accessory or as an earring became the standard for judging Yixia.

In other words, the Zhou Dynasty is over, and those who still use jade as earrings are barbarians.

Moreover, the jade culture of Liangzhu is also very advanced.

In the Songze culture before Liangzhu, most of the jade made was made by flat withering technology.

In the Liangzhu period, it has evolved to three-dimensional carving, and a piece of jade must be completed after rough embryo - molding - polishing - inscription - floating withering - polishing.

And the most traditional and classic techniques of jade production, such as land reduction and wire cutting, have also been perfected in Liangzhu.

The method of making these jade objects has been used to later generations.

Let's take an abstract analogy.

Liangzhu's technical research is like inventing electricity.

The subsequent inherited civilizations are all based on Liangzhu to study how electricity should be used better and how to use it more conveniently.

If Liangzhu hadn't invented these jade production methods, then there might not have been a unique jade craft in China in later generations.

Moreover, Liangzhu laid the foundation for the use of "ritual vessels", and it was inherited by later generations.

Yucong, Yubi, Yuyue, and Yuhuang are all funerary objects and ritual vessels.

Among them, the jade Yue represents the weapon, which is the military power and the royal power, and the jade cong is engraved with the divine emblem, which represents the divine power.

However, these things are all known things to Chen Han, although he sighs, he doesn't feel shocked anymore.

What really made Chen Han care was a problem that he was very concerned about when he was in Sanxingdui.

Does Liangzhu have any writing?

Whether there is writing in Liangzhu is a question that many people are very concerned about.

To be honest, quite a few sigils have been found.

It's called a sigil because we can't understand what it means.

Such a systematic script as oracle bone inscription cannot be suddenly thought up overnight and accepted and used by everyone, it must have its predecessors.

As mentioned before, the earliest 9,000 years ago at the Jiahu site found primitive carved symbols.

The 7,000-year-old site of Shuangdun has found larger-scale carved symbols that can be traced.

6,000-year-old Jiang Zhai and Banpo carved symbols.

In the 5,000-year-old Dawenkou, carved symbols have also been discovered, and even barely speaking.

So, is the inscription found in Liangzhu, which is a little later in the same period, a text?

Not really.

However, although I dare not say that the rune of Liangzhu must be the predecessor of the oracle bone inscription, the rune of Liangzhu is indeed very unique.

First of all, the most special thing is the face pattern of the gods, men and beasts with the characteristics of Liangzhu.

The finest pattern of the face of a god, man and beast is engraved on jade.

The actual width of this ornament is less than 4 centimeters, and the height is 3 centimeters.

However, with fine lines as fine as millimeters, he carved a fine cloud and thunder pattern wind zigzag hat, a metrogram crown, a feather crown, an inverted trapezoidal face, a hanging garlic nose, an I-shaped nose bridge and the end of the nose, an oval eyelid, a huge mouth, and two rows of tusks.

And supplemented by dense fine lines, a picture of gods, men and beasts is constructed.

It is truly breathtaking to carve such a detailed and intricate figure on such a small scale.

And there are various versions of this god-man beast face pattern, such as simplified version and abstract version.
