Abstract

The Three Gorges is located in the Daba mountain chain, with rich and hard stones. With the gift of nature, industrious craftsmen of past dynasties had chipped stone crocks rich in the flavor of the times as well as the crock used to store water and grain by their hands with knowledge, inspiration, experience and pursuit; its shape is different with myriad forms. The carving on its crock body is rough but magnificent, exquisite and lifelike, which is the extension and display of the development of primitive art in Yangtze River basin. With the stone crock complex in Baian being an example, the thesis introduces the production process of the folk stone crock in the area of the Three Gorges, probes into its artistic value from such aspects as the shape function of crock body, constitution form, theme performance, engraving content and molding feature, and thus contributes to rescuing and studying on the folk stone crock in the area of the Three Gorges.
