Features: Gold and jade jewelry is a distinctive collection in the Nanjing Museum's holdings. Especially the gold and jade ornaments unearthed from the tombs of Ming Dynasty meritorious officials and their families hold significant historical, artistic, and scientific value. These jewelry pieces are the main exhibits in our museum's exhibition titled "Ming Capital Nanjing." Some of the collections have been displayed in places like the United States, Japan, and Singapore in recent years, receiving positive feedback. To better utilize the role of cultural relics, we have compiled the essence of the Ming Dynasty gold and jade jewelry in our collection into this book to delight readers. We hope more people will pay attention to Ming Dynasty gold, stone, and jade jewelry and their craftsmanship, leading to deeper research.
