Abstract
A discussion on literature and art in ancient times may only start from the material remains associated with “literature”. From the art information preserved on different pottery and stone tools surviving from the primitive society, we can observe the germination of various forms of art such as painting, sculpture, and pottery sculpture. Primitive paintings are mainly colored patterns on pottery, as well as various rock paintings distributed across the country.
