长江中上游史前玉器的起源与初步发展

The Origin and Preliminary Development of Prehistoric Jades in the Upper and Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River

在以往的研究中,关于本区玉器的起源,学者们的主流看法是始于仰韶时代的大溪文化。其实早在距今约8 000年前,长江中上游一带就已经出现了玉器,到了距今7 000年左右的大溪文化时期,随着玦、璜、坠、璧和环等各种器类的相继出现,本区史前玉器获得了重要发展。丰富的玉器考古材料表明,长江中上游一带也是中华玉文化的重要发祥地之一。基此,本文拟在对已有文献资料作进一步分析整理基础上,就本区史前玉器的起源及初步发展问题略陈管见,以求有补于这一学术缺憾。
