This book provides the reader with the latest archaeological discoveries of Liangzhu culture for its sophisticated jade artifacts. The structure and contents systematically present that large-scale ritual vessels such as jade cong and bi were originally regarded as the embodiment of Zhou and Han dynasties have been proved as burial accessories of Liangzhu culture. This confirmation urges archaeologists to renew an earlier interpretation of societal development dimension in Liangzhu culture. The book discussed the compatibilities between types and function of Liangzhu jades vividly displayed. It provides archaeological researchers and students by gaining an in-depth perspective of aesthetic appreciation of jade while understanding of the spiritual world of people in Liangzhu as well as the transition between the functions of power and belief.

The Liangzhu culture (circa 3300-2300 B.C.) was first discovered in the 1930s in the Zhejiang province of China, which included the coastal areas around the mouth of the Yangtze River. From the 1970s to the 1990s, a large number of jade artifacts of outstanding quality were unearthed there. It became the biggest discovery of jade artifacts of the twentieth century. During last forty years, archeological development provided scholars with evidence that not only revealed the evolutionary course of Chinese civilization, but it also confirmed the history of China's five thousand years of civilization. Because of their studies, our knowledge of these ancient people and their cultures expanded considerably. Liangzhu jade pieces are the biggest and most brilliant examples of art that began during the Neolithic period. They are the most important and the most well-preserved remnants of their culture. Jade helps us to understand the Liangzhu's beliefs, the way they thought, their perceptions of life and their social systems. Cong tubes and bi discs are the most signature jade forms, and these two jade forms are the majority of Liangzhu jade. We know that the Liangzhu jade must have been very important to them, but for a long time we could not identify the meaning of them. In this book, the author introduces the research done by Hayashi Minao, who was the most respected and studied scholar of the twentieth century. He explained clearly what were the meaning of the cong tubes and bi discs. More than one hundred illustrations and photographs of unique jade artworks open a unique window of appreciation for the most extraordinary neolithic jade. Through the varieties and diversities of this jade collection, we are getting close to the true picture of their unity in a diverse society, and through their outstanding quality of their jade, we are sharing the power of prayer from the Liangzhu people.

The Liangzhu Culture (3,300-2,300 BC) represented the peak of prehistoric cultural and social development in the Yangtze Delta. With a wide sphere of influence centred near present-day Hangzhou City, Liangzhu City is considered one of the earliest urban centres in prehistoric China. Although it remains a mystery for many in the West, Liangzhu is well known in China for its fine jade-crafting industry; its enormous, well-structured earthen palatial compound and recently discovered hydraulic system; and its far-flung impact on contemporary and succeeding cultures. The archaeological ruins of Liangzhu City were added to the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List in July 2019. Liangzhu Culture contextualises Liangzhu in broad socio-economic and cultural backgrounds and provides new, first-hand data to help explain the development and structure of this early urban centre. Among its many insights, the volume reveals how elites used jade as a means of acquiring social power, and how Liangzhu and its centre stand in comparison to other prehistoric urban centres in the world. This book, the first of its kind published in the English language, will be a useful guide to students at all levels interested in the material culture and social structures of prehistoric China and beyond.

In the Neolithic period, Liangzhu jade was the biggest and the brightest star in Chinese jade history. The fine quality and huge quantity were outstanding. People had never made so many high-quality jades after the Liangzhu culture suddenly fated away. The huge variety was a main characteristic of Liangzhu jade. Every piece is unique, yet distinctive and easily recognizable . Through this more than seventy pieces of jades from several collections, we are attempting to present the heart and soul of that culture's artisans. By detailing the various material and the technique used, we can see the common threads of Liangzhu jade. Further, By looking deeply into its main motifs- which did not change much during the 1000 years period- we can divide the Liangzhu jade into three periods: early, middle, and end. Their dedicated,densely packed, finely incised lines were beyond earlier artistry. And we are still uncertain what kind of tools were used 4000 years ago. Even today, artisans can't easily duplicate those lines. By merging ourselves into Liangzhu jade, we can feel the power of prayer. When people use their souls to plead to God, they can make the impossible possible, Which we learned from the Liangzhu people.
