With the change of history, the bone carving gradually evolved from a daily necessities to an ornament. The ancients used the bones to make needles and knives and engraved the words and patterns on the bones. The bone carvings we have seen so far are very exquisite handicrafts. They not only engrave text on the bones, but also sculpted three-dimensional figures, flowers and birds through different knives.
Engraving and grinding of animal bones such as bovine bones, camel bones, and squid fish bones, usually referred to as sculptures and sculptures.
Paleolithic age
In the Paleolithic Age, about 100,000 years ago, the bones of the caverns were found in the ruins of the cave at Longgushan, Zhoukoudian, Beijing. They were made of fish bones and some were reddish with hematite. The bone carvings (for hair) and 8577 bone beads unearthed from the tombs of Jiangzhai in the Neolithic Age of Linyi, Shaanxi Province, are smooth and polished. At the Dawenkou site in Ningyang, Shandong Province (about 25th century BC), the bones and bone combs of the eagle carvings were unearthed, and the knives were smooth and skillful. In 1973, a long-shaped skeleton was found at the Hemudu site in Yuyao, Zhejiang. The double-headed eagle was carved on the front side, and the upper and lower ends were engraved with patterns, which were very delicate. The Shang Dynasty has a professional bone carving workshop. In the Henan Anyang Hehui County, Beijing Changping Shang Dynasty site, the comb, enamel, enamel and flower board were unearthed. The flower board is about 16cm long and about 7cm wide. The upper end is engraved with two layers of enamel, and the lower end is engraved with a strip-like pattern. The layers are distinct and dense. The handles of the skeletons are engraved with patterns such as cloud ray, dragonfly, dragon, and phoenix. In the past, the bones only focused on smoothness. The Shang Dynasty improved its shape into a corolla shape, and carved patterns such as phoenixes and phoenixes. It became a decoration on the hair, and it developed into the Han Dynasty. After the Han Dynasty, the bone carvings gradually declined, but there was still production in the folk.
