殷墟出土的硬陶、原始瓷和釉陶——附论中原和北方地区商代原始瓷的来源

The Hard Pottery, Proto-porcelain and Glazed Pottery Unearthed at the Yinxu Site—Also on the Origins of the Proto-porcelains of the Shang Dynasty Found in the Central Plains and the Northern China

殷墟出土硬陶、原始瓷和釉陶的时代涵盖殷墟第一期晚段至殷墟第四期,与代表典型殷墟文化的青铜器和大量普通陶器风格不同。从原料、技术、文化面貌等方面看,殷墟出土的硬陶、原始瓷和釉陶与湖南湘江下游地区和江西赣江流域以吴城遗址为中心的地区联系紧密,包括殷墟在内的中原和北方地区的商代原始瓷可能来自南方。

The hard pottery, proto-porcelain and glazed pottery wares unearthed at Yinxu Site have thin bodies and hard and fine texture, the types of which were pou-liquid container, dou-stemmed bowl, pot, bobowl, jar, vessel lid, etc., the dates of which covered the time from the late stage of Phase I through Phase IV of Yinxu Period, but had styles different from that of the bronzes and large amounts of common pottery wares which represented the typical Yinxu Culture, therefore they were the representatives of an outside cultural element. Seen in the terms of materials, making techniques and cultural styles, the hard pottery, proto-porcelain and glazed pottery wares unearthed at Yinxu Site had close ties with the areas of the lower reach of the Xiang River in Hunan and the Gan River Valley in Jiangxi centered by the Wucheng Site, so the proto-porcelains found in the Central Plains and the northern areas including the Yinxu Site would be transported in from the southern area.
