On this day, 67 years ago, on April 1, 1958 (February 13, 1958, the lunar calendar), my country's first Neolithic Cultural Site Museum opened. On the east bank of the Shanghai River in the eastern suburbs of Xi'an, more than 10 miles away from Xi'an, there is a village called Banpo Village, which is backed by Beiluyuan and faces the Shanghai River. It has a very beautiful natural environment. About six or seven thousand years ago, our ancestors settled here and created excellent national culture. However, after thousands of years of vicissitudes, Banpo Village was buried three to four meters deep underground. Since 1954, the workers of the Institute of Archaeology of China Academy of Sciences have recreated the living scene of the residents of Banpo Village after many excavations and arrangements. The total area of the Banpo Village site is about 100,000 square meters, and 10,000 square meters have been excavated. This is a village during the clan commune period, and the main part is a residential area. To the east of the residential area is a pottery kiln and to the north is a public cemetery. There are 46 ruins of ancient houses in the residential area. Most of them are semi-cave type, and some are built on the ground. They are divided into square and round shapes. These incomplete ancient houses have no windows and the doors face south. Each house has an area of about ten to twenty square meters. Their architectural style clearly demonstrates the thousands of years of "herringbone" architectural style and "wooden bone and clay walls" in my country. It is here that the construction method of "wooden bones and mud walls" originated. Moreover, what is particularly amazing is that China's traditional "palace"-shaped buildings have been visible since at least 6000 years ago. It turned out that some houses in the primitive village of Banpo had supported "awnings" on the doorways in front of the houses. On the wall as high as a person, there are also eaves of the roof, which is just like the main house of later generations. The deep part of the house is divided into three, and it also looks like the later "bright room"-the back room. The main house with a front hall and a back room was called the "palace" in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. The hieroglyphic "palace" was created based on the ancient half-cave dome houses. It can be seen that the houses in the Banpo Village ruins have a close inheritance with the palace style of later generations. Many agricultural production tools were also found in the residential area, including more than 700 pieces of stone axes, stone shovels, stone sickles, bone utensils, pottery, etc. There are also some rotten grains of millet (millet), which strongly proves that our country is the first country in the world to cultivate millet. A large number of pottery products were unearthed in the pottery kiln. The Banpo people at that time used pottery as their main tool in life. Almost all the tea sets and tableware we use today can be found in the ruins of Banpo. Among them is a water-collecting appliance called a point-bottomed bottle, which is shaped like a shuttle, with a small mouth and a large belly and a pointed bottom, ears with tethered strings on the abdomen, and an oblique string pattern under the neck. When drawing water, the cylindrical bottle mouth will automatically sink. After being filled with water, the point-bottom bottle will be lifted out of the water with a rope so that no water leaks. This shows that through long-term practice, our ancestors have discovered the central principle and applied it in daily life. Moreover, painted pottery also appears in the pottery of Banpo people, which is lifelike and beautiful, making it a masterpiece of primitive art. There are more than 20 kinds of symbols engraved on the mouth of the pottery bowl. Chinese philologists believe that these symbols may be the origin of China's original writing. The public cemetery in the north of Banpo Village is the destination of Banpo's ancestors. The pits are arranged in an orderly manner. Some tombs have funerary objects, most of which are daily utensils made of pottery. There are many funerary objects in female tombs, which reflects the important position of women in social life. Banpo Village also showed us a vivid scene of the matriarchal clan commune 6000 years ago. In order to better let everyone understand this history, in 1958, New China established my country's first primitive social site museum-Banpo Museum, in Banpo Village, and officially opened on April 1. Today, it has become a well-known ancient human site at home and abroad. After the excavation in Banpo, the locations where such pottery engraved with symbols appeared gradually increased. 129 pieces of pottery or pottery chips were also found at the Jiangzhai site in Lintong, with 38 types of pottery symbols (Figure 2).
