Sumario: | The Liangzhu culture has established itself as one of the most important Neolithic cultures of China due to the excavation of several elite tombs and the recent discoveries inside of the now recognised “Ancient City of Liangzhu”. This paper introduces the Liangzhu culture and one of the fundamental aspects of it; its ritual jade usage. The nucleus of the ritual jades of Liangzhu consisted of four specific elements: the cong tubes, the bi discs, the yue axes and the sacred icon also known as the “Sacred Man and the Mythical Beast”. These elements were not static but suffered several transformations during the thousand years of the development of the Liangzhu culture. |
