陶起源探讨

The Origin of Pottery Cooking Utensil "GUI

本文对新石器时代各区系文化出土的陶作了序列排比及类型分析，指出陶可分实足与袋足两类，它们各自有着自身的发生、发展途径，实足起源于海岱文化区，袋足起源于太湖文化区；纠正了以往一般认为袋足由实足发展而来的看法。这对于确立良渚文化的时空框架，理清太湖地区新石器时代文化与周边文化的关系以及良渚文化在中国文明起源过程中的历史地位都具有积极的意义。

After sorting out different kinds of pottery cooking utensils unearthed in different cultural zones of Neolithic period and making a detailed analysis of them, the author finds out that there are two categories of pottery 'gui', the solid-legged and hollow-legged;each kind has its own origin and lineage of transformation. The former one is believed to have originated in 'Haidai' Cultural zone and the latter in 'Taihu' Cultural zone. These findings may help to clarify some misunderstandings that generally view the hollow-legged 'gui' to have developed from the solid-legged. These findings are of great significance in that they help to build up a space-time frame of reference and confirm the important historic status of Liangzhu Culture in the development of Chinese Civilization by giving order to the relationships between the Neolithic cultural zones around the Taihu Lake and other types of cultures in the vicinity.
