What about the stone carvings in the late Paleolithic period?

In the late Paleolithic period, megalithic architecture was a simple combination of uncut natural megaliths, which appeared calm and powerful, and it was the product of primitive megalith worship that made people detached from the world. It once prevailed in the grasslands of Eurasia and later spread to East Asia. When there was no country, it entered the era of civilization, and its remains can still be found in the border areas. In the form of stone shed in Liaoning sea area, slate is carved into a regular geometric shape, and artificial power is strengthened, while natural power and religious spirit are obviously weakened. It should be the end of the megalithic building. This stone shed building is considered as a grave. In the minds of prehistoric people, megaliths are usually regarded as the residence of souls or gods, so they are often used as boundary markers, pagodas or objects of religious worship. So far, the Neolithic stone carvings discovered by archaeology can be roughly divided into several categories.

The first category is traditional stone carvings, including traditional typical microliths and small ornaments; The second category is grinding utility, including daily necessities, utensils, production tools and weapons; The third category is idols with religious nature; The fourth category is animal stone carvings and carved stone pots with vitality. Among them, utensils and animal stone carvings can best represent the highest level of stone carving modeling at that time. Later, we can see the existence of many realistic animals and fantasy animal sculptures in the tombs of Nu Wa and Good Men in Shang Dynasty, which cannot but be attributed to the stone carving tradition of praising natural life in Neolithic Age. The ancestors of the Neolithic Age in China were able to burn pottery about 10,000 years ago, but it was only about 7,000 to 8,000 years ago that they began to enter the painted pottery age. Comparatively speaking, the technology of grinding stone tools invented by ancient humans in China was used in the late Paleolithic period. The stone decorations of cavemen are made by pondering and punching holes, which is a milestone in the history of ancient sculpture in China, because only by inventing grinding technology can stones become invincible carving materials for human beings.
