Chinese and English text.; Hardcover (with dust jacket).; 22 x 29.5 cm.; 1.9 kg.; 324 pages with colour illustrations.; Used with signs of wear on the exterior and interior. The dust jacket shows edge wear, scuffs and scratches. Minor signs of wear on the interior.; "The present study documents remarkable discoveries made over the last twenty years or more in what is today north-eastern China, in the present-day Autonomous Region of Inner Mongolia. Discoveries of finely crafted jades, especially slit rings and tools, have pushed back the achievements of jade working to at least 8,000 years ago. The fine translucent stones we know today as nephrite, or jade, were carefully chosen and skilfully worked by the peoples of what is now designated as the Xinglongwa culture. These jades herald the beginnings of a long tradition that distinguishes East Asia from many other parts of the world, most especially from the cultures of territories at the other end of the Eurasian landmass, Western Asia and Europe. There gold came to rule supreme at the top of a hierarchy of materials; in East Asia, starting from another base, jade was to become pre-eminent in the Chinese-speaking world. What, therefore, this report offers us is a route into a whole range of questions about the development of the societies of East Asia. The questions concern the discovery both of the material and of techniques for working it. They also embrace issues such as the deployment of jade in social and ideological structures. And they involve us in considering the reasons for the geographical spread of jade and especially of slit rings, and the implications of such a spread. Although we cannot establish today the ideas and beliefs that united or separated the different people who used slit rings, these valuable materials, none the less, offer us important evidence of complex societies about which these questions should be raised." excerpt from the foreword by Jessica Rawson.…
