Brief introduction to the essence of ancient jade

The book is divided into eight chapters, which are China Neolithic jade, Shang and Western Zhou jade (types, patterns and carving techniques), Spring and Autumn and Warring States jade (types, patterns and carving techniques), Qin and Han jade (types, patterns and carving techniques), Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties jade (types, patterns and carving techniques), Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties jade (types, patterns and carving techniques) and Song, Liao and Jin jade. Take Mr. Fu Zhongmo's Zi Zang as an example, those who lack things are replaced by fine rubbings of past dynasties, and then cite unearthed products since the 1950s as evidence. This paper discusses the characteristics and development process of jade articles in past dynasties from the aspects of types, patterns, carvings and styles.
