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 officials and their families hold significant historical, artistic, and scientific value. These pieces are the main exhibits in our museum's exhibition "Ming Capital Nanjing." Some of these 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 publication to delight our readers. We hope to attract more attention to Ming Dynasty gold, stone, and jade jewelry and their craftsmanship, leading research to greater depth.
