大汶口文化的立鸟陶器和瓶形陶文

A Study of Dawenkou Cultural Pottery Wares with Standing Birds and Their Pottery Scripts in Shape of Vase

新近安徽蒙城尉迟寺遗址发现的大汶口文化晚期的立鸟陶器,实即带有茅草或羽状装饰的陶祖,是东夷人祖先崇拜的产物。山东莒县陵阳河等墓地出土的大汶口文化晚期的瓶形陶文,不过是这类神圣陶祖的抽象形式,有可能就是"且"(祖)字的原型。

Pottery wares with feather designs of standing birds, excavated from the Yuchisi site in Mengcheng County, Anhui, dated to the Late Period of Dawenkou culture is interpreted as images of a gagatic male-penis used by Dongyi people in ancient rituals. Furthermore, the pottery scripts, that was described as vase shapes on the pottery wares recovered from Lingyanghe of Luxia County, Shandong, is interpreted as abstract images of the male-penis, that probably was developd later into the original form of a character ＂且＂ （祖）（＂ancestor＂）.
