What is the possible symbolic significance of the mermaid basin mystery?

What's the point of reading a three-sided fishing line?

Since the mermaid basin appeared for half a century, its magical composition has been a secret that experts have been trying to solve. Some experts advocate "totem theory" and think that "fish face pattern" is the totem worshipped by Banpo ancestors; Some experts advocate "ancestor image theory" and think that "face fish pattern" has been personified as an independent god-fish god; Some experts advocate "power symbolism" and believe that the fish ornaments in "fish pattern on face" later evolved into horns and hats symbolizing power. ...

According to statistics, there are nearly 30 views on the meaning of "face fish pattern".

■ Zhang Hongyan, Vice President of the School of Wenbo, Northwest University: As a burial tool, the fish noodle basin embodies a religious belief and ceremony. On the coffin of children, the combination of mermaid and fish is related to reproductive worship. Banpo people live by water, and fish is their important living resource. At the same time, fish have strong reproductive ability, which also symbolizes high yield and bumper harvest. So "noodle fish pattern" means "rich".

■ Wang Jianxin, a professor at Wenbo College of Northwest University: Most people's facial patterns and fish patterns exist in a prehistoric site, but they are separate. Therefore, the fish lines on people's faces may be the intermarriage of two clans at that time, which shows the intermarriage relationship between the two clans.

Hu, the captain of the Cultural Relics Appraisal Brigade of the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau: The fish lines on his face are for the children who died in the urn and coffin. Its significance is to praise auspiciousness and human reproduction and harvest. It means that people die and return to their original places, which is a kind of reincarnation, with the meaning of witchcraft and sacrifice.

■ Zhang Tianen, Director of Shang and Zhou Office of the Provincial Institute of Archaeology: "Fish face pattern" may be used for sacrifice. Maybe Banpo clan had a similar banner at that time, and the dead child went to the underworld and got home.

■ Jiao Nanfeng, director of the Provincial Institute of Archaeology: The fish noodle basin is objectively a funerary object, and there are patterns on the funerary objects, so the "fish noodle pattern" may be a funerary pattern. He said that the child's urn was covered with the fish face pattern, so he drew a pattern of "fish face pattern" for the dead child. Putting this thing in the grave means that they want to go to another world to find the same living environment as before or bring their previous necessities. Our reporter Li Biao.

The new site of Banpo officially opened on June 9.

(Reporter Li Biao) The reporter learned yesterday that after 15 months' construction, the new Banpo Site Protection Museum will be officially opened to the public on June 9, when the "Noodle Fish Pot Home Exhibition" jointly organized by Xi Banpo Museum and Huashang Daily will be officially opened to the public. In order to ensure the safety of fish tanks with noodles, Banpo Museum in Xi 'an has set up six lines of defense, including surveillance cameras, police with guns all day and armed police.

Zhang Lizhi, director of Xi 'an Banpo Museum, said that the new protection museum has basically maintained the appearance style of the original protection museum, with a construction area of 4,600 square meters. At the same time, the visiting passages were widened and four passages were added, which were specially designed for the disabled and the elderly and infirm audience.

It is understood that many new exhibitions have been added to the new hall, including "home", "sacrifice", "architecture", "pottery making" and "tombs", which generally reflect the face of Banpo site. Next to two typical houses, the building process and restored appearance of the house will be represented by three-dimensional animation.

According to reports, on the east side of the front hall and the south side of the back hall of the original site protection hall, archaeologists found clear sacrificial remains, and some cultural relics were unearthed for the first time at Banpo site. According to experts' appraisal, the newly discovered stone pillars, pottery pits and tombs have never been found in Banpo culture before, especially the stone pillars, which are first discovered in China. As for the object of sacrifice, it is not clear whether it is to worship heaven, land, ghosts or ancestors, but it is certain that it belongs to religious relics.
