Features: Among the heirloom jade pieces, Ming and Qing dynasty jades are the most numerous in existence. Jade items suitable for wearing include pendants and round carvings, with shapes ranging from figures, animals, and fruits to other designs. Considering the practical needs of collectors, the author has specifically divided the content into two volumes for detailed introduction. The round carving category primarily features objects such as figures, animals, and fruits in free-form round carvings. The pendant category mainly includes literary pendants, openwork pendants, or openwork round pieces. This classification helps organize the collection more clearly and specifically. Collecting jade has become a trend, leading to the emergence of new works, and even counterfeit ancient jades, making it difficult for collectors to distinguish authenticity. This book includes over a hundred genuine ancient jades, accompanied by brief textual introductions and current market reference prices, providing identification guidance and tips, presented in a visually engaging, illustrated manner to showcase the characteristics of genuine jade pieces.
