Jade ware of Wu, Yue and Chu

The jade ware of Chu culture had a unique style and meaning. In terms of varieties, there were mainly dragon and phoenix-shaped pendants, jade, rings, Heng, sword ornaments, pipes, pearls, and so on. In terms of regional cultural inheritance, the Chu people's worship of dragons and phoenixes was a recognized characteristic of Chu culture. The jade carvings with dragon and phoenix theme showed the noble status of the King of Chu and also reflected the regional cultural inheritance. Jade articles with the theme of dragon and phoenix had various forms of expression. There were individual dragons and phoenixes, and there were also dragon and phoenix combined shapes. The craftsmanship included engraved lines, complex carvings, and shallow embossed patterns. In terms of shape, the dragon-shaped jade ware had a rich variety of shapes. The jade dragons of the Spring and Autumn Period broke through the previous shape patterns. In the Chu cultural area, there were dozens of new shapes such as W-shaped, wind-shaped, hook-shaped, S-shaped, double-body shape, dragon-phoenix combination, dragon-phoenix combination, and so on. In the early Western Han Dynasty, the jade dragons unearthed from the tombs of the State of Chu mainly had two styles: the double-dragon head style and the S-shaped style. The double-dragon head style was mostly a Heng-shaped accessory. The S-shaped jade dragon was divided into horizontal and vertical styles. The horizontal style was popular in the Warring States Period and the early Western Han Dynasty. The vertical style was more special and was newly created in the Western Han Dynasty.

The jade culture of the Hongshan culture was the embodiment of the collective wisdom of the ancestors of the Hongshan culture. It was reflected in the privilege of the primitive tribal leaders to respect jade. Hongshan jade was the original code of the hieroglyph of the Chinese civilization, which was the systematic primitive hieroglyph. Its shape, use position, and arrangement created the basic hieroglyph original code of the hieroglyph. It interacted with the writing elements in the prehistoric culture of China, and finally created Chinese hieroglyph such as oracle bone inscriptions, gold inscriptions, and stone inscriptions during the Xia and Shang Dynasties. The Shang royal family was the descendant of the Hongshan culture. The types of burial jade found in the Niuheliang site group include nephrite (Xiuyan jade) and jadeite (Siberian jade). Jade articles of the Hongshan culture had their own characteristics. For example, although they were hard and could be made into labor tools such as jade sickles and combat weapons such as jade knives and jade axes, they could also be eroded by soil, bitten by insects, and fossilized in acidic soil. The animal type of Hongshan jade ware had insect bite marks in the shape of a semi-circular curve with some spirals. Calcification was caused by the serious oxidization of the ancient jade, which might be related to the buried soil. Natural weathering was a change in both the inside and outside, which was different from artificial forgery. During the Hongshan culture period, the production of jade seemed to follow the principle of using local materials to make jade. It was based on the shape of the material itself to decide what was suitable for making, rather than randomly making it. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

The blessing of jade by Taoist priests was a ritual with religious and cultural significance. In the Taoist blessing ceremony, the Taoist priest would bless the jade through a variety of complicated and solemn procedures. For example, they would carefully set up an altar, which was filled with all kinds of offerings and magic tools. At the beginning of the ceremony, the Taoist priest wore a Taoist robe and a Taoist crown. He solemnly recited some chapters of ancient scriptures such as the Scripture of Mercy to invite the Taoist gods to pay tribute to the Taoist ancestors of the Three Pure Ones. He lit special incense and candles, and then respectfully invited the gods such as the Lord of Taiyi and the Lord of Salvation. When he invited them, he was accompanied by specific hand gestures and incantations to pray for the gods to inject divine power into the jade. There was also the imperial brush ceremony. The brush was placed in the center of the altar at an auspicious time when Yang qi gathered. The altar was lit with candles, and items such as five-colored cloth symbolizing the five elements were placed around it. After the Taoist priest burned the incense, he made a complicated hand gesture and chanted the incantation of the imperial brush, such as "The sky is round and the earth is square, the law is nine chapters, the divine brush is once, thousands of ghosts are hidden. Today, the brush is ordered to respond to all directions", so that the brush was endowed with divine power and became an important tool in the blessing ceremony. After the blessing ceremony, jade was believed to have special spirituality and energy, such as luck, wealth, safety, and so on. At the same time, there were some taboos when wearing it, such as not being able to exchange or give it to others at will, avoiding long-term exposure to the sun, and not wearing it in a dirty environment. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
