On The Pottery Jars with Ears in the Han-Dynasty Tombs in Guyuan
The Han-dynasty tombs in Guyuan area of Ningxia Province are buried with the jars with single and double ears,which are distinctly different from the pottery wares of the Central Plains and the local ones of the Warring States period,but much close to those unearthed round the western Guanzhong to Longshan area probably owing to the inter-regional cultural exchanges.Judging by the historical context,the similar ones known as'Xinzhuang-Typed Remains'of the Warring States period found in the northern central Shaanxi are probably brought back to Guyuan region by the Qin people from their expedition to the north out of their interest in the kind of eared jars.Then,the culture elements of the Warring States period faded away subsequently.Such cultural inter-communication and integration went on till the Western-Han Dynasty,which makes the Guyuan tombs highly consistent with those of the Central Plains in cultural feature consequently.
