Milestones of millennia: Role of jade in China history explored

China Daily  

Liu Bin, director of the Zhejiang Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, speaks to the media about a major highlight of the ongoing exhibition at the Palace Museum, a 5,300-year jade article from Liangzhu Culture, called the "king of cong". A new exhibition at the Palace Museum provides a panoramic view of the role played by jade in 5,000 years of Chinese culture, Wang Kaihao reports. However, modern-day visitors to the Forbidden City in Beijing, which is also known as the Palace Museum, can experience a panoramic view of the brilliant jade civilization of Liangzhu Culture, which was based in what is today's Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. Nearly 260 objects, including Emperor Qianlong's precious jade collection, gathered from 17 museums and research institutes nationwide, have gone on display at the Hall of Martial Valor at the Palace Museum for this major occasion.
