The jade culture of the Hongshan culture was the embodiment of the collective wisdom of the ancestors of the Hongshan culture.

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. Read more exciting novels for free
