摘要

The invention and use of pottery have facilitated and consolidated the settlement of human life and expanded the meaning of the agricultural production to progress of human society.

This article is trying to analyze the class and decorative patterns of the ancient Chinese pottery from the perspective of the semiotic cognitive view, in order to find his semiotic meaning.
