Features: Liu Datong, the author of The Identification of Ancient Jade, believes: "I reflect that the enlightenment of art and literature in our country is ancient with jade, and everything else follows." As early as 7,000 years ago during the Neolithic Age, countless exquisite stone artifacts appeared in China. Among all beautiful stones, jade is the most prized. The history of Chinese ancient jade is also the history of the evolution of Chinese civilization. This book presents multi-dimensional appreciation, identification, and introduction to the humanistic background of traditional cultural jade through a combination of text and images. The book covers ten aspects: ritual vessels, ornaments, figures, weapons, daily utensils, animal carvings, pendant jade, (jade discoloration), craft patterns, and jade quality, making it a popular reading material for jade collectors.
