Comb Ceramic or Pit-Comb Ware (in Europe), Jeulmun pottery or Jeulmun vessel [1] (in Korea) is a type of pottery subjected to geometric patterns from a comb-like tool. This type of pottery was widely distributed in the Baltic, Finland, the Volga upstream flow, south Siberia, Lake Baikal, Mongolian Plateau, the Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula. [2]
The oldest Comb Ceramic is found in the remains of Liao civilization: Xinglongwa culture (6200 BC - 5400 BC). [3] [4]
The Neolithic Age in Korea began around 8,000 BC. People began farming, planting millet and other grains, and gradually began to settle down, forming a clan society.
They ground the stone into various grinding tools for use. Among them, the most representative of the characteristics of the Neolithic Age is the comb pottery, which is found all over the Korean Peninsula. Amsa-dong in Seoul, Nanjing in Pyongyang, and Ga-ri in Gimhae are representative sites of comb pottery. [5]
The first knowledge of comb pottery on the Korean Peninsula began with Stone Age sites and relics found in the areas of Pyongan, Hwanghae and Gyeonggi provinces during a survey conducted by Torii Ryuko in 1916. Later, Fujita Ryusaku proposed the Northern system theory, which linked the lineage of carpeted pottery culture on the Korean Peninsula with that of Neolithic pottery culture in northern Eurasia. His theory of Northern genealogy had a major impact on the epistemology of Neolithic pottery in the academic circles of North and South Korea after the August 15 liberation, but has been repudiated by excavations and research at new sites since the 1980s.
Unlike the pottery of The Three Kingdoms period[ clarification needed ], combed pottery was made by hand, rather than using a pottery wheel, and used various molding methods, rotating methods, etc., mainly using the rolling method of stacking circular clay belts.
Pottery is generally fired in an open-air kiln without any special structure. However, kilns with certain structures have been found at the Podae site in Pyongyang, Jinjori site in Gimcheon, and Pyeongmi-dong site in Jinju, suggesting that more advanced kiln facilities were used since the middle Neolithic Age. Comb pottery is fired at a temperature of about 600-700 °C in an oxidized salt state, which gives most pottery a reddish brown or brown color. [5]
The Japanese Paleolithic period is the period of human inhabitation in Japan predating the development of pottery, generally before 10,000 BC. The starting dates commonly given to this period are from around 40,000 BC; although any date of human presence before 35,000 BC is controversial, with artifacts supporting a pre-35,000 BC human presence on the archipelago being of questionable authenticity. The period extended to the beginning of the Mesolithic Jōmon period, or around 14,000 BC.
Chinese ceramics show a continuous development since pre-dynastic times and are one of the most significant forms of Chinese art and ceramics globally. The first pottery was made during the Palaeolithic era. Chinese ceramics range from construction materials such as bricks and tiles, to hand-built pottery vessels fired in bonfires or kilns, to the sophisticated Chinese porcelain wares made for the imperial court and for export. Porcelain was a Chinese invention and is so identified with China that it is still called "china" in everyday English usage.
The Xinglongwa culture (興隆洼文化) was a Neolithic culture in northeastern China, found mainly around the Inner Mongolia-Liaoning border at the Liao River basin. Xinglongwa pottery was primarily cylindrical and baked at low temperatures.

The Jeulmun pottery period is an archaeological era in Korean prehistory broadly spanning the period of 8000–1500 BC. This period subsumes the Mesolithic and Neolithic cultural stages in Korea, lasting ca. 8000–3500 BC and 3500–1500 BC, respectively. Because of the early presence of pottery, the entire period has also been subsumed under a broad label of "Korean Neolithic".
Fanchengdui is an archaeological site located in Zhangshu city in the province of Jiangxi, China. It is located upstream on the secondary tributary of the Gan River. The Fanchengdui site is located about 23 km east of another archaeological site, Shinianshan. The river Meng flows through the south part of the Shinianshan site roughly from northwest to southeast, before entering a primary tributary of Gan, Yuanshui. Near Fanchengdui the two rivers and Xiaojiang meet, and together they enter Gan river.
Chinese traditional music includes various music genres which have been inherited for generations in China. Specifically, this term refers to the music genres originated in or before Qing dynasty. According to the appearance, the genres can be classified into instrumental ensemble, instrumental solo, theatre, shuochang, dance music and song. It is now the primary classification in both research and education, although some genres contain different forms of performance and thus do not belong to a single category. The genres could also be classified into literati music, folk music, religious music and palace music, according to their cultural connotations or purpose.

Zoo-anthropomorphic jade earring is a jade ornament that dates back to the Neolithic Period in Taiwan. It is believed to have been worn as a pendant on the ears, given its notches and the evidence from unearthed contexts.

The feet of the beast are connected to the heads. The feet of the human figures. While there are variations, including single-person or multiple-ring designs, such jade pendants are primarily found in Taiwan, making them highly unique.

A stepped stone adze is a tool for wood crafting or whittling. It is commonly found at Neolithic sites in Taiwan. The stone adzes are generally in a rectangle shape but look like a trapezoid from the side. The acute angle on the hypotenuse is the cutting edge of the stone adze; the surface stretching from the cutting edge is the “blade”. The stone adze can be categorized into different types based on their shapes, and the stepped stone adze is one of them. The “stepped” here means that the back of the adze is not a single flat surface but presents two successive levels of flat surfaces. It is particularly noticeable due to its unique appearance and cultural meaning.
Pibo, also called Pizi, is a type of decorative silk shawl accessory for Hanfu. It was introduced to China through the Silk Road and popularized during the Tang dynasty, where it became an accessory for Han Chinese clothing. Pibo was subsequently passed on to the Korean Peninsula, Japan, and Vietnam. Primarily worn by women, it is often draped over the shoulders or wrapped around the elbows. While crossing the arms, it hangs at the back, creating an elegant and graceful appearance. The ceremonial silk is also frequently seen in depictions of deities and immortals.
