Ancient Chinese Jade Articles and the Integrative Pattern of the Multi-cultures of the Chinese Nation

Ancient Chinese jade articles are the gem in the traditional Chinese culture. From the perspective of archeology, the distribution of the prehistoric Chinese jade articles was broad and the jade production and processing enjoyed unique cultural flavor despite the influences from exchange activities. Up to the Zhou Dynasty, the differences in the shape of jade products had diminished. From the unification of China under the Qin Dynasty till the Han Dynasty, jade sculptures remained almost the same. Ancient Chinese jade articles have played important roles in the formation of the integrative pattern of the multi-cultures of the Chinese nation.
