The Northern Cultural
Jades:
1-1. North West: The current academic
archeological publications and the practice in market place still refer
Neolithic jades
according to the
burial jades of the archaeology cultures. These has been based on the bench mark
established by
archaeologists from specimens from tombs dug up at Hongshan, Liangchu, Chejiapin,
and Dawenkou etc.
As more and more Neolithic cultural jades have been
collected by us, we have
discovered that the burial jades were
degenerated art forms derived from the cultural jades we have collected as they
were recovered from historical ruins.
We have found out that the earliest scripts
were carved/engraved on Jade sculptures across China from XiangKiang,
GangSu, and degenerated to the burial jades found in tombs of the "Hongshan
culture" of Inner Mongolia and Liaoning,
1-2. North East: The Northern Culture was initiated by the most primitive
art forms of Dinosaur men
and Dinosaur Birdmen in
XiangKiang. The GangSu Neolithic scripts demonstrated the transformation from
figure sculptures
to two
dimensional human carved pictures and finally to the early carved scripts representing
individual leaders. It seems
that the early figure sculptures and the script identity of leaders
in the clanship were inherited in
the Hongshan Neolithic
jade Culture of Inner Mongolia and Liaoning. The Hongshan burial
jade sculptures symbolic representation of the cultural jades
established from the earlier Xiangjiang/Gansu cultural jades. It appears therefore, that the burial
Hongshan jades might
have
originated from the cultural jades of Xiangjiang and the GangSu areas.
1-3. GangSu/SiChuan: The protruded nose, and eyes seen from the jade
figures from the GangSu Neolithic cultural jades
also bear the outstanding features found in the SiChuan's Sanxingdui burial
cultural jades. One can induce that the
Neolithic cultures of the SiChuan, Qinghai, Yunan and the Tibetan highlands
might have shared the same culture origins from
the XiangKiang and Gangsu from the bygone years before the Neolithic age, as our
forefathers, the dinosaurs .
2.
The Eastern Cultural Jades:
2-1. The TaiWu Neolithic cultural remains in KiangSu were found to bear records
of early scripts formation from
the time of FuShui "父"燧, TaHoi "太昊", to TaYan "太炎". More matured scripts on jade
zongs were found from
LaingChu cultural sites of ZheKiang.
2-2. The Birds totem of the "Eastern Yi"
originated from the Northern Culture of XiangKaing
and GangSu.
The Eastern Yi might have migrated south from LaioNing to Shangdong, and to
KiangSu, or from GangSu, to
Henan and to KiangSu.
The eastern Yi clan of KiangSu developed engraved scripts by freely engraving on
jade seals and varieties of
implements. Our collected Eatsern Yi jade implements seem to come from a large
settlement covering an extended
legacy of many generations of art works, as reflected by the various stages of
development of scripts forms.
The Zhejiang Liangchu jade scripts were of more matured styles scripts indicating that the Liangchu culture at
Zhejiang might belong to the later Eastern Yi culture.
3.
The Central Plains Cultural
Jades:
3-1. The Northern and Eastern influences in Central Plains fully developed
Chinese scripts have been
traceable from the scripts art forms. over time.
3-2. The character scripts found on the Central plains of Shaanxi,
Shanxi, and Hennan
were well established and diversified in form. They appeared to be
more delicately structured.
We have found
inspirationally carved jade vases bearing the markings of the name Cangjie (蒼頡)
, the legendary consolidator of
the Chinese character scripts .
