Historical evolution of white pottery in the late Dawenkou culture
Dawenkou culture is the representative of the middle and late Neolithic culture in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, which was named after it was discovered in Dawenkou site in Tai 'an, Shandong Province. Mainly distributed in Shandong Province and Huaibei area of Jiangsu Province. There are also sporadic discoveries in eastern Henan.

Pottery is a typical object in Hankou ceramics, which is both practical and beautiful. Dongyi people advocate bird totem, so they make their favorite birds into various images. It is a container used by primitive people to boil water. Some spread their wings like birds, and some sing with their heads held high like cocks. They are typical vessels with local characteristics, with unique shapes and vivid postures. The ancients used exaggerated artistic techniques to create three bag-shaped cones based on the principle of three-legged stability, which can increase the heating area and shorten the cooking time. Because of its unique shape, it was later imitated by neighboring tribes, and similar artifacts were found in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Henan, Hubei and even Jiangxi. This white pottery is the one with the longest history, the most exquisite shape and the most complete shape among all the white pottery in China. This kiln is made of kaolin, and the kiln temperature is about 65438 0200℃. The sidewall is thin, but the texture is hard. Its appearance shows another new progress in pottery making technology.
