Neolithic Hongshan Jade Stone Carving - Horned Sun God

Description: 5" L Neolithic Hongshan Jade Stone Carving, often interpreted as a Sun God, but little detail is known about this ancient Chinese culture.The symbols and images on these mysterious artifacts are of unclear meaning. Hongshan Jades were not mere decorative pieces; they held significant symbolism and were often placed near the deceased in graves. These precious artifacts signified not only status but also played a vital role in cultural and spiritual practices, attesting to their profound significance. NEOLITHIC: The Neolithic Period, defined as the age before the use of metal, witnessed a transition from a nomadic existence to one of settled farming. Ancient China includes the Neolithic period (c. 7000–1700 B.C.E.), the Shang dynasty (c. 1600–1050 B.C.E.), and the Zhou dynasty (1050–221 B.C.E.). Each age was distinct, but common to each period were grand burials for the elite from which a wealth of objects have been excavated. The Neolithic period, which began in China around 10,000 B.C. and concluded with the introduction of metallurgy about 8,000 years later, was characterized by the development of settled communities that relied primarily on farming and domesticated animals rather than hunting and gathering, the appearance of such crafts as pottery and weaving, and the creation of stone tools shaped by polishing or grinding. Hong Shan, Hongshan or the Red Mountain (Chinese: 红山; Pinyin: Hóng Shān; Uyghur: قىزىلتاغ, Қизилтағ; Qiziltagh) is an inner city mountain in Ürümqi, capital of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China. HONGSHAN CULTURE: The Niuheliang, Hongshanhou and Weijiawopu Archaeological Sites represent the settlements of Hongshan culture with different functions and scales. They jointly reveal prehistoric production, lifestyle, burying, and sacrifices in the West Liao River Basin 6000-5000 years back.
