How did the original inhabitants of Half-Slope live?

The place where the Half-slope people lived would be called Half-slope Village in today's terms. Whether square or round houses, most of them are half cave, and most of them are huts, and there is only one big house located in the center, and the huts are built around the big house. This circular layout is not unconscious, but clearly reflects a principle of unity and a spirit. The Shangzhai culture site is also a semi-cave building, mostly irregular oval shape, with one or two deep-bellied pots buried inside the house, which is a stove pond, and also stores fire. Because not all excavated, I do not know whether there is also a large house, also circular layout. I think, it may be similar to the half slope. Half-slope site, there are a lot of postholes, the building should be a mix of tree branches and other plant stems and leaves plus soil structure, on the House culture site also found postholes. These today seems to be really inconspicuous "horse frame shack", but six thousand years ago, the outstanding creation of the ancestors, is the beginning of the classical architecture of China's civil engineering. Live in a cave for a long time, easy to "wet and hurt the people", people will be on the ground, laying thatch, fur and even baking ground. House with a fire pit, but no flue, once the fire, you have to rebuild, what a difficult life! Human development is slow, every progress, have experienced a long life practice even paid a heavy price of blood and fire. Primitive ancestors, but also in the effort to find their own living space, shelter, we are now chimneys and other ventilation through the smoke as easy as a hand, as you wish, half-slope people can not, they must want to live better, but can do, and only that, it is not easy. So, what kind of people live in these houses? Both in the matrilineal clan stage, each small house, it seems to live in the married life of the women and uncertainty of visiting men of other clans, of course, there will be men and women relatively stable couple marriage, but never later monogamy, still attached to the matrilineal family, the children only know their mother, do not know their father. The most respected "grandmothers" or other chiefs of multiple clans lived in large houses, which also served as group homes for the elderly and children. In the village of Hanpo, people live a primitive ****productivist life in which they are born equal and live in peace with each other. Since the settlement is a circular layout, it is normal that it is surrounded by a trench moat enclosure, although only a small section is now cleared. The rift is six to seven meters deep and five to eight meters wide. Half-slope people do not have modern excavation equipment, completely with a simple stone shovel shovel shovel digging into the hundreds of meters of the trench, calculated that at least the amount of soil to be more than 10,000 cubic meters, then how many people can a clan? How many people could there be in a clan at that time? Apart from the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, how many strong people were there? The vastness of the project is difficult, I'm afraid it is no less than the later excavation of a Grand Canal. The Chinese people are most capable of hard work and endurance, from the primitive ancestors can also be reflected. Summer rains, village water can be channeled to the trench, and wild animals attack, foreign invasion, the trench did the first protective barrier, said this is the prototype of the later city trench or pioneer, not too much. The north of the moat is the burial area, a complete clan communal **** cemetery, the dead are arranged quite neatly, generally head to the west, single burials, there are also two and four people buried; there is a primary burial, there is a secondary burial; there is a supine burial, there is a prone burial; there is a straight-limbed burial, there is a flexed-limbed burial, as well as the urn coffin burials. Among them, adults and children separately, most of the children are not buried in the public **** cemetery, but placed in urns, buried near the house, perhaps wanting to children young, still need parents to take care of it, especially urns on the hole drilled, probably as a child's soul of the passageway, indicating that the half-slope people already have the concept of the soul of the death of the person is not extinguished. If you look at the entire tomb, although then still in primitive society, the level of productivity is extremely low, extremely poor material, mankind has not come out of the chaos, so there is no class, there is no rich and poor, and even less exploitation and oppression, but the difference is always there, there may be sociologists will have many kinds of more scientific and more reasonable explanation, and intuitively I thought that, flexion of the limbs of the funeral, bent over the body of the funeral, must be different from the body of the funeral of the different body of the funeral of the body of the different body of the funeral of the body of the superior to the other burial, or else, the body of the funeral of the people must be Better than other burials, otherwise, most of the burials will not appear in the body of the burial, even if a few pieces of pottery, now think it is not worth a few bucks, and then when it is more valuable, like the future generations of burial bronzes, gold and silver in general. Half-slope people to survive, the most basic to have food. The way, a rely on hunting. From the excavation of many stone or bone arrowheads, they have been commonly used bow and arrow, as well as stone ball stone spear. It can be imagined that human beings invented the bow and arrow and spear, extend their arm strength, initially only to meet the needs of survival, and later into the class society, in order to fight for territory, in order to fight for power, the bow and arrow and the spear is used in war, used to destroy human beings themselves! The second relies on fishing. Thousands of years, the fishnet is difficult to save, the net pendant is not easy to decay, it is very simple, it is the flat small pebbles, the sides hit the gap, tied to the edge of the net, the pendant net sunk into the water, the net in the water open, to be fish since the casting up. It seems that the pottery had been printed on the cloth pattern, half-slope people have been spinning and weaving, therefore, they must be able to use fine rope, weaving fish nets. They should have possessed this ability. Of course, we must not be five or six thousand years ago ancestors of the wisdom of the estimates too high, after all, is the childhood of mankind, has not yet entered the age of civilization, on the contrary, it is impossible to estimate their wisdom is too low, nothing can not be done, then how to call it the spirit of all things? Three rely on the kind of value. Half-slope people have a large number of stone shovels, stone axes, stone hoes, chopping tools and other production tools, into a more developed stage of primitive agriculture. They use stone axe, cut down trees, scythe weeds, and put + fire burning, and then stone shovel digging land, stone hoe and pointed stick digging hole point seed, and finally, with a stone sickle or pottery sickle harvesting, eating with a stone milling plate, stone grinding rod peeled and crushed. Now found half-slope people cans of corn and corn after decaying relics, proving that half-slope people learned to cultivate, corn drought-resistant and easy to plant, and easy to store, not only to feed the ancestors six thousand years ago, is still the main crop planted in northern China. Therefore, China is deservedly one of the world's early agricultural development, but also the earliest cultivation of corn country. Remember that the Shangzhai people also used stone axes, stone shovels, stone grinding wheels, stone grinding rods, through the identification of cereal spores, when the Shangzhai area will be pregnant with the teeth of primitive agriculture. It is because six thousand years ago the life of the ancestors is based on agricultural production, even if it is slash-and-burn, they were able to live a more stable and long-lasting sedentary life, or else, perhaps they still have to help the old and the young, a group of people drifting around, anywhere and safe it. The Po people, made a large number of colored pottery. Although farming in the ancient times, but reveals the charm of the art of infection. They are innocent childish eyes, curious to observe and recognize the ever-changing world of colorful, colorful painted on the pottery, the artistic image despite the simplicity, but the meaning is profound, fully reproduced their spiritual world. In general, these pottery or realistic, such as swimming fish, Mercedes deer, should be a reflection of their fishing and hunting, art can not be a source of water without wood, of course, will also be entrusted with the hope of catching more fish and deer wish; or aesthetic, painted pottery patterns more in the upper part of the outer wall of the pottery, realistic patterns, strokes fluent and sparse, obviously decorative; or symbolic, such as the human face fish pattern, the human face painted, the mouth of the mouth fish, the triangular headdress, perhaps this is a half of the world of spirit. Triangular headdress, perhaps this is the totem, clan emblem of the half slope clan. Painting, fish pattern image is a lot, the expression method is also from simple and gradually rich, from realistic and gradually detached from the natural form of the fish, to become a geometric pattern of writing. Is it a man in the fish, or a fish in the man? Or fish and man as one? It is conceivable that the Hanpo clan most likely used fish as totems. In that case, would they think that they were changed from the fish? If so, and thousands of years after the scientific study of the origin of mankind in the fish match, just match, not the same day. The Xia clan is said to have used dragon motifs as their main totem pattern (and legend has it that Xia Yu ruled over the water), was it derived from the deepening of the fish aquarium of the Hanpo clan? The Shangzhai culture site found many bird-headed ceramic pillars, which experts identified as the things that the Shangzhai people worshipped and worshiped as totems. That totem was a bird. It was once thought that the Shang tribe originated in the southern foothills of the Yanshan Mountain Range, and the Shang tribe believed in the Xuan bird, that is, the swallow, and the reckless mountain range is called Yanshan, I dare not jump to conclusions that the Shang tribe must have been reproduced by the Shangzhai people, and whether there is some intrinsic correlation between them or even a common lineage? It is not yet known. On the pottery unearthed at the Shangzhai culture site, no obvious regular symbols have been found, while a variety of artifacts on the half-slope, there are symbols, the strokes are even and smooth, quite regular. The same kind of symbols are found in other sites in Guanzhong area. From its shape, with the Yin Shang oracle bone inscriptions are very similar, both appeared in the central plains of northern China, only time is different. Is pure chance? Could the oracle bone inscriptions have originated from these engraved symbols? In any case, oracle bone writing is already a very mature and systematic script, and would never have been created out of thin air. And these symbols, in the end, represents what meaning, only to seek advice half slope people. Half-slope, the representative of Yangshao culture, is so profound that I only glanced at the door and saw a few footprints of my ancestors. And this footprint, no matter whether it is deep or shallow, but also the mother left in the distant past. Moreover, with the upper house people despite the thousands of years and thousands of miles away, footprints but intermittently coherent together ......
