Ancient Chinese jade as a special symbol is different from other world civilization signs.In its inheritance and development process,its artistic connotation becomes more and not heavy,by the people's favorite.But how does it produce and develop? What is the reason for the formation of different periods of modeling features and aesthetic functions? What is the meaning behind its evolution?This paper summarizes the jade pieces unearthed in the archaeological excavations unearthed in the pre-Qin period,and combs the most representative of the "god" color jade,which is summarized as "Yulong" and "Jade Bird" in Hongshan Culture;Liangzhu Culture "Yu Cong","Yu Bi";six in the "jade bi","jade Cong","jade","Yuhuang","Yu Zhang","Yu Gui." And through the original thinking situation,the occurrence of art development,to analyze the origin of jade.The primary problem in this paper is to start from the spiritual thoughts of the primitive ancestors of prehistoric society,and to analyze the two aspects of the primitive thinking of the prehistoric mankind,the mythological thinking and the original aesthetic way.Can be said that the mythical thinking of the original witchcraft and totem worship the way of thinking deeply rooted,a direct impact on the jade in its carving process of the shape,such as jade shape,decoration and so on are related to religious beliefs and spiritual worship.And by the original aesthetic consciousness of the jade shape,in turn,the mythical thinking of the original witchcraft and primitive totem caused far-reaching impact.Second,the sacrifice is part of the Chinese ritual,is the main composition of Confucian rituals,"ceremony has five classics,Mo respect for the festival,is blessed by the blessing." Sacrificial rites as an important ritual spread so far,carrying a country's cultural connotation.Since ancient times is the "jade gods" jade will bear as a sacrifice artifacts responsibility.With the patriarchal system gradually become the main means of the ruling class,the worship of the gods subsided,jade by the strict patriarchal and ritual system constraints,and the divine correlation,used to sacrifice heaven and earth ghosts of the jade shape,and gradually regulate the "six."I think that these issues can not be separated from the mythological knowledge,no exaggeration to say that the ancient Chinese mythology is the art of Chinese art,it provides the art of the original material and the artistic significance of the art.Contemporary scholars in the form of diversification to re-excavate,explain the newvalue and significance of jade,interdisciplinary research for jade opened up a new survival of the soil.Under the characteristics of the eternal nature of mythology,it produces the intuitive visual symbol material of jade and becomes one of the hot areas of the study of the fusion of mythology and art history.Therefore,in-depth understanding of the mythical factors in the image of jade,ancient books in the myth of the records,all contribute to the analysis of the early jade art evolution of the motivation.
