4 thoughts on “The origin of jewelry”

  1. The origin of jewelry can be traced back to ancient times.
    At the time, humans discovered the puzzling side of nature during the confrontation with nature. This psychology was expressed through various art forms, and gradually formed a unique art form -primitive totem.
    During the original period, people put on the bone, animal teeth, and shells on the neck, inserting bird's feathers on their heads to form the earliest jewelry. The form of these jewelry reflects the hazy decoration consciousness of human civilization, reflects the cultural conditions and aesthetic taste of human beings at that time, and can feel the ancestor's thoughts and the enlightenment of human aesthetic consciousness.
    In the era of Paleolithic, there are more items used as jewelry. For archeological discovery in the territory, stone, bones, teeth, shells (mussels), eggshells, etc. are used as materials for jewelry. At this time, most of the jewelry is relatively rough, but a small part of the jewelry has been processing in more detailed processing, and it is also wearing small holes or paint.
    Is after entering the Neolithic era, human beings have accumulated more experience in production and life, can process more varieties of materials, can also process more shapes of decorations, and carry out various types of them. All combinations. During this period, the materials and forms of jewelry are more abundant, and they are very common in the aesthetic consciousness of many nations in the world with various fine or rude prices.
    Is when human beings enter a civilized society, due to the improvement of productivity, the development of economic and social, the progress of business civilization, and the art of jewelry, the art of jewelry has also made great development. To this day, jewelry has become an indispensable part of our lives.
    Pucting data
    The ancestors of ancient times did not have the concept of jewelry. They gradually used the use, imitation, worship, custom, development and interpretation in people's evolution, survival, and exchanges into objects and accessories with certain functions.
    The early people were only for the purpose and instinct of survival. In the process of fighting against nature, people were in order to survive, avoid the harm of beasts and foreign infringement, and protect their own safety.
    Streasing the beast skin, corners, animal bones, etc., and other things, wearing things such as the bones of animal bones on their heads, arms, wrists, or feet, it is intended to dress themselves into similar animals to confuse each other. At the same time, these bones, corners, etc. As a defense or attack weapon.
    In after consciousness, it also begins to make some items with anti -body effects, such as iron bracelets, leather rings, bone rings, etc., in order to protect the limbs from being invaded by plants. harm. The Koffeer in the African Basu Tobal tribe, the Indians of Brazil, and other legs and arms are covered with metal bracelets that will ring as soon as they move.
    When we gather together, these bracelets make a regular sound. The use of such accessories is completely from a practical perspective. The significance is mainly as a defensive appliance to protect itself.

  2. The most primitive jewelry of human beings can be traced back to the distant stone era. From the data of the old stone eras found in the world and the data of modern original tribes, people can find that the forms of early primitive decorations are: items, waist ornaments, arm ornaments, headwear, etc. In the form, it is especially the items and waist ornaments.
    This they are largely decorated around the human reproductive area. The reason is that in addition to these parts that support wearing, a large number of studies have shown that this choice is still different.
    The color and pattern on animals are also a body decoration, natural body decoration, male bird's headwear, items, chest ornaments, tail ornaments, etc. Attracting the opposite sex is quite effective.
    The biological materials confirmed that the pretty decoration of animals has great advantages in the process of sexual selection. Human tattoo is a similar form of body decoration, and human body decoration is the qualitative change of the natural decoration of animals.
    The earliest human ornaments in the late Paleolithic era found around the world, whether it is animal teeth, feathers, or stone beads, has a very significant characteristic: smooth, rules, compact, and beautiful.
    The characteristics of this feature further illustrate the important psychological causes of makeup, self -dazzling, and attracting the opposite sex. Therefore, it is very scientific to stem the beauty of the body's origin. The "human beautification" function that comes from this origin is the most primitive and fundamental function of jewelry.
    The other two important motives in the origin and development of jewelry:
    The religious dynamic cause, social functional movement. These two types of movements are based on the physiological instincts, which are developed and evolved based on this. Religion originated from the prehistoric human witchcraft, and the religious cause of the development of the body is exactly the formation of the prehistoric human witchcraft activity and under the guidance of this witchcraft ideology and is deeply rooted in people's thoughts.
    The primitive human beings in the process of labor practice, gradually gradually related to the fruits of plants, seeds, feathers, teeth, bones, and stone (jade) materials that are closely related to their lives in nature. Views, they even regarded them as the object of worship in their witchcraft activities to give mysterious power.

  3. Jewelry, as the name implies, refers to the items that people use for heads. For example, there is a sentence in the "Han Book" "beads in the ears, jewelry still exists". The word "jewelry" in this refers to the ornament on the head. Han Wei Liu Xi said in "Release Name · Shi Two": "The crowns, crickets, mirror comb, and fat powder are jewelry." Although the meaning has expanded, it is still limited to the head and facial decoration.

    In ancient times, there was a word close to the meaning of jewelry in the modern sense. This is "head and face". This is probably because people think that jewelry is like a face, which can add glory to the appearance. Meng Lao Lao's "Tokyo Menghua Record" Volume 3 records: Liang Liang Xiangguo won the "Langlang. " "Zhu Cui Head Noodles" here. According to today, it is jewelry made of pearl jade. There are shops that specialize in jewelry gold and silver jewelry in the Song Dynasty, called "head noodle shop". In the Song Dynasty, Wu Zimu's "Dream Liang Lu" Volume Thirteen Lives: There is a "Shu family's true head shop" in Shaozhou Shao City, which refers to jewelry shops. .

    It's modern, "head and face" (in traditional opera, the head and face are the general name of the makeup ornaments on the head of the head, including buns, braids, beads, earrings, mules, etc. The term) The term of the "jewelry" has been replaced by "jewelry", and "jewelry" has become the general name of the various accessories wearing all parts of the whole body of the body.

    Is when humans wear jewelry, it may be difficult to verify accurately. But it is not difficult to think about it. From the time humans began to realize the decoration and beautification of themselves, humans have formed an inextricable with it. Fate. The most primitive jewelry of human beings can be traced back to the distant stone era.

    It reportedly reported that Guanyi archeologists discovered a few years in the coast of the Mediterranean. Ancient human corpses, the female corpses wear a necklace made of beast bones and stones. It may be the earliest jewelry in the world that has been discovered so far. The necklaces used by the "Top Cave Man" in Beijing's Zhoukou Store 18,000 years ago. Archaeologist Mr. Jia Lanpo talked in the article "Beijing". Drilling small gravel, drilling stone beads, perforated fox or deer canine teeth, bone pipes of the carved grooves, perforated sea cricket shells, and drilling the eyes of drilling hermes. All decorations are quite delicate. The small gravel decorations are made of slightly green fire. The gravel chosen is very positive, and it is quite like the chicken heart wearing the chest of modern women. The little gravel is grinded with white lime blocks. There are small holes in the middle. The perforated teeth are made by dug the tooth cavity on both sides of the teeth. The perforation of all decorations is almost red, as if they are dyed with red iron ore. "

    Pelasia after the founding of New China, archaeologists found a large number of ancient cultural relics about 7,000 years ago in Hemodu, Zhejiang, in Henu, Zhejiang, in Hemu, Zhejiang, a large number of ancient cultural relics about 7,000 years ago, of which 28 were decorated with jade and Yingshi. Product. In addition, according to expert research, about 5,000 years ago, China has begun to make jewelry, neck chain and bracelets with jewelry and jadeite such as pine stones, agate, pearls, and most of them. It has a high level of craftsmanship.

    In addition, ancient Egypt, Greece, India, and North America have found a large number of jewelry in ancient human civilization (see Figure 1). These ancient jewelry are probably the source of modern jewelry culture.

    It is not difficult to imagine that human ancestors were first survived and reproduced in the extremely harsh natural environment. In addition to suffering from various natural disasters In addition to the invasion, they often do not get enough food, and occasionally hunting some animals with rough tools, eating meat, and smashing bones to absorb the marrow. Flower energy to make those simple jewelry nobes?

    Grosay said in the book "Origin of Art" that most of the artworks of primitive nations are not yet based on pure aesthetic motivation. They may only consider its practical value. From the origin of jewelry, we can use its original momentum.

    The first is to survive. In the process of struggling in nature, in order to protect yourself and avoid the damage of beasts, we often wear beast skin, corners and other things on your head, arms, wrists, or feet. The same type is to confuse each other. On the other hand, these beast skin is a defense itself

    or attacking weapons. Animal bone or beast teeth, in addition to the earliest unconscious decorative behavior of human beings, is probably the need for counting or notes.

    is a symbol of power. In a humble primitive society, humans need to ask for food from nature and overcome the fierce beasts. It is undoubtedly the need for courage and strength. In the view of the primitive people, the reason why the beasts are full of strength, their sharp claws, hard bones, and beauty The fur must play an important role. Therefore, after the human beings capture these beasts, they can eat them, and they can wear their bones, teeth, etc. to wear them on the body, thinking that this will absorb the power of the beast. It can be used to defeat the beasts of the beast. It seems that from these primitive jewelry, the primitive people have received some spiritual comfort and strength.

    The more "jewelry", the more likely he is to wear more and more expensive jewelry. In fact, these brave people often like to use some bright and eye -catching, easy to recognize, such as beautiful feathers, beasts of beasts Teeth, rare shells, and even valuable "beauty stones" (jade) and so on as symbols, To show and show off your strength and authority. In "On the Art", Pricanov said: "These things were first worn only as brave, dexterous and powerful markers, but later. It was because they were brave, dexterous and powerful, so they began to cause The feeling of aesthetics is attributed to the scope of the decoration. "

    is a totem worship. The sun, moon and stars, storms and lightning, these are originally ordinary natural phenomena. But in the opinion of primitive people, these things have some magical power. The primitive people get along with nature, and they are accompanied by the sun, the moon, the stars, the river, and the flying beasts. They worship these natures that they give them survival. Over time, this material is deeply imprinted in their minds and has become a totem with magical power. The right of them regards it as their ancestors or protecting God;

    The beginning of human beings assimilated themselves to these totems in order to protect themselves. Slowly, people incorporated these totems into their jewelry, and made their jewelry into the image or shape of these totems, such as the sun, the full moon, and the full moon; Wait.

    The four as a amulet. Engels pointed out: "In ancient times, people still did not know their physical structure at all and affected by the dreams of dreams, so they produced a concept: their thinking and feeling were not their physical activities, but a unique one of them, but a unique ones. , Activities in the soul of the body when they die in this body. "The primitive people believe that everything has a soul, and the soul is divided into good and evil. The disaster and disease are evil spirits. In order to prevent those evil spirits from getting close, at the same time, they can be protected by good spirits, they use ropes to wear shells, small gravel, feathers, animal teeth, leaves and fruits on their bodies. They believe that these things have a kind of thing. If a person can't see it, the supernatural power you see can be blessed with it, and evil will be driven away. These things that reduce protection and exorcism were later on the human body in the shape of a certain decoration, which became a special jewelry. Moreover, this custom and meaning have been retained, and the jewelry has also been given more beautiful sustenance and mysterious colors by humans.

    In the West, jewelry is often personified. For example, linked the gem with people's zodiac, thinking that wearing different jewelry according to different zodiac signs can bring happiness and good luck. In our country, jewelry has been regarded as a treasure that protects the evil protection since ancient times. For example, jade is considered to eliminate disasters and evacuation; pine stone has the meaning of "everything is as urgent"; pearls can protect human health and so on.

    . Finally, it is for beauty itself. In the book "The Origin of Art", Groass said: "Like decoration is the earliest and strongest desire for humans." The reason why primitive people use beautiful feathers, flash shells, valuable beautiful stones, etc. To decorate yourself, in addition to the practical functions mentioned above, a more important role is to make yourself more attractive. Make your appearance look good and looks beautiful. This is an instinctive impulse and the common feelings of human beings. In fact, from ancient times to the present, although there are people who do not wear clothes, different methods are extremely rare to decorate themselves. In the process of human evolution, with the gradual decline of the acuity of the sense of smell, the acuity of vision gradually increases, people's ability to feel the image, color, and light is increasingly fine and keen, and the aesthetic feeling gradually increases. Therefore, the emergence of primitive jewelry is the need for human beings for this aesthetics.
