  • Jia (vessel)

    The Jia (Chinese: ; pinyin: jiǎ; Wade–Giles: chia3) is a ritual vessel type found in both pottery and bronze forms; it was used to hold libations of wine for the veneration of ancestors. It was made either with four legs or in the form of a tripod and included two pillar-like protrusions on the rim that were possibly used to suspend the vessel over heat. The earliest evidence of the Jia vessel type appears during the Neolithic Period (c. 5000-2000 BCE). It was a prominent form during the Shang and early Western Zhou dynasties, but had disappeared by the mid-Western Zhou.

    Symbolism

    The vessels had a ceremonial function. They were decorated with varying geometric designs and zoomorphic motifs, possibly symbolizing varying religious beliefs. There are several theories as to the origin and meaning of the symbolic iconography. Early Chinese scholars extended their traditional beliefs as regarded the symbolic meanings of the designs and motifs. They believed them to have a religious, cosmic, or mythical function. The Western historian Max Loehr has argued that the designs and motifs are ornamental and have no inherent symbolic meaning. There are no extant texts or sources contemporary with the creation of the Shang bronzes that offer descriptions or explanations of the symbolic meanings of the Jia vessels.

    (Down) The Left Hand Path

    by: Cage

    * I was mislead, but once I found the way
    I convinced a group of 19 that they should drown today
    How I flipped it, clipped it after madness
    Then the dead came back and haunted the wrong address
    Cause they some stupid dead motherfuckers
    Just like all you bitches, all Weathermen fluffers
    And I get my shoes polished
    By the best open mic emcees paying Timbaland's homage
    In this day and age
    If your deck ain't playing Cage
    You probably disgruntled your Mrs. Funnel mayonnaise
    Or I ain't get the right palm
    My whole career been a upstream kayak through blood
    My tools love, seeing the face of opponents
    Seconds before they scull and wig savor the moment
    Light up a Jay, cast silence over Bob
    And hair stuck on the ground, shit I might as well rob the dead
    [Chorus]
    Hear this to the DJ then track the clubs
    Lift the cover of my CD then see what acid does
    Don't just stand there looking like some average thugs
    If there's a chick standing next to you then grab her jugs
    And if you ain't grabbin' the dough when they ass below
    Then you come back to the crib wearin' a mask and gloves
    Then you go back to the club stinkin' of ass and blood
    Joke some kid up diggin' pockets and snatch the drugs
    I a backwards education
    Studied some chick with broken navigation
    All this anti-Cage demonstratin'
    I don't pray to Satan
    I pray on agents makin'
    Shapeable minds
    Capable of firing traceable 9's
    But not at any kegs that make they snout's see
    I don't know what I wrote till' I spit and my mouth bleeds
    Look, more patterns to market
    Not even naming I'm standin' a walkin' target with shoppers that look at me
    awkward
    Granted I got a canon and my freakin' mouth's leakin'
    Cause my crew put more dust in the air than house keeping
    If you sleeping you're getting woke the fuck up
    Like you're parents while you bought this and smoke the fuck up
    With some much rhymin' in the NYC
    I carry 9 millimeter in the back of Taxi
    While I thought music prevented GOB servants
    And a cycle of brain wash entertainments to detergent
    [Chorus]
    If my thought patterns
    Brought palans to Walt Adams
    And spit violence and death, then kids start gaddin'
    Bloody ear canal
    Hold it down with a towel
    Cause by the time the verse hatch your stomach's hangin' out
    We got a verse on the loose, let's get these mouth zippers
    Buy six drinks a night then wake up and wear 'em as house slippers
    I'm just fuckin' with you bitch, don't get offended
    This ain't your average anti-pop record with a happy ending
    Go ask your block
    School body and bastard pops
    How the fuck you get your hands on acid drops
    Music television repellent for kids with extreme views
    Start torchin' labs to light the team's fuse
    I've gotten plottin', rotten ? been chewing
    I keep my hands in it with no tangible influence
    Whether a Clockwork Orange or a murderous night
    A book of what my pops did to Tony Burgess's wife
