The Hongshan culture came from the north-eastern part of China, around Liaoning, inner Mongolia, and close to the northern province of Hebei. Based on the findings at the Niuheliang site, the Hongshan demonstrated that they had a highly developed pyramide-shape society where the person that had the unique gift to communicate with the gods was the leader of that community. Religion and secular activities were merged, and they used their temples, altars, and burial mounds to connect and maintain their social system. Hongshan culture lasted nearly 2000 years. During this period, they created some of their most outstanding jade. Jade is among the most well-preserved remnants of their culture. Unlike pottery, jade was not meant to be used for daily activities. It is a unique window that allows us to understand the Hongshan belief system, their way of thinking, their perception of life and society. Toward the late 1980s, our knowledge of these people expanded considerably. In this book, the author started with what jade was, how jade was made, what kind of jade were made to the meaning of jade to Hongshan people, step by step to guide you into the wonderful longevity of jade culture,bring to light the exceptional craftsmanship of the oldest jade group. More than fifty illustrations and photographs of unique jade artworks open a unique window of appreciation for the oldest, most imaginative jade, full of mysterious beauty.

The Chinese have revered the mystery and magic of jade since ancient times. This authoritative book provides an up-to-date and comprehensive survey of six thousand years of development, from the earliest cultures to the twentieth century. The author describes and assesses the variety of roles and functions, ritual and ceremonial, which jade has played in China. Recent discoveries from hitherto little known neolithic cultures of around 3000 BC have highlighted the extraordinary skills of the craftsmen and the complexity of the cultures that supported them. Other remarkable finds include the precursors of the famous jade suits, which range from jade plaques and shrouds dating from about 900 BC to superb pendants and sword fittings carved for a king buried near Canton in around 122 BC. This catalogue describes over 300 outstanding pieces from Sir Joseph Hotung's collection, which spans the history of jade in China. Drawing upon the very latest archaeological reseach to set jade in its historical and artistic context, this work will stand as a definitive reference for many years to come. In her wide-ranging introduction to the catalogue the author analyses the arguments and sets out new views, supplementing this major essay with a series of shorter introductions to the chronological sections into which the jades of different types, shapes and functions have been divided. The book is fully illustrated throughout with specially commisioned photographs of each piece from the collection, all in color, along with comparative examples from the rich collection of the British Museum.
