从新石器时代刻纹白陶和八角星图看平原与山地文化的关系

The Plain-Mountain Relationship Discussed Through the Neolithic Carved White Potteries and the Octagon Pattern

刻纹陶、八角星图以及白陶技术和礼器形状,皆源自澧阳平原皂市下层农耕文化中,可是刻纹白陶由山地高庙文化吸收之后,成为南岭游猎族群两千年持续采用的礼器,并配合他们精神文化的需求。山地人用白陶来表达自己的信仰,或创造山地与平原两种形象混合的构图。顺着山地猎民的游动,使用刻纹白陶礼器的习俗涵盖整个岭北与岭南地区,并成为大文化体系的指标。

Carved white pottery, as well as its making technology, ware shape, and the octagon decorative pattern, originated from the Zaoshixiaceng, an agricultural cultural form in Pingyuan, Liyang. It became,however, a major ritual ware category with spiritual connotations continuously used by the mountain people for over two thousand years after its adoption by the Gaomiao, a mountain cultural form. Mountain people used white potteries to express their brief. They also created graphs composed with elements from both mountains and plains. The custom to use white pottery ritual ware with carved patters was widely applied in both Lingnan and Lingbei with the moving of mountain hunters and became an indicator of a broad cultural system.
