The Western Zhou dynasty left an indelible mark on Chinese history, shaping the nation's identity and cultural trajectory. Through the lens of jade artifacts, this book delves into the profound changes wrought by the Western Zhou period, offering insights into its political, social, and philosophical underpinnings. By juxtaposing ancient Greek philosophy with Chinese thought, the book elucidates fundamental differences between Eastern and Western cultures.


Organized chronologically into early, middle, and late periods of the Western Zhou dynasty, the book examines jade artifacts within the context of their functions: serving gods, decoration, and burial. Through detailed analyses of over forty jade pieces, it elucidates how these artifacts reflect the political and social transformations of the era.


The first part of the book traces the political and social changes of the Western Zhou period, while the second part focuses on jade artifacts themselves. Through empirical observation, readers gain deeper insights into both jade and Chinese culture. The author also sheds light on jade vessels, challenging contemporary scholarly perspectives and advocating for a critical reexamination of both jade artifacts and the culture they represent.
