A historical study of the principles of Chinese jade identification, this book is the latest work in this field written by a renowned Jade specialist. It surveys the eight-thousand-year history of jade artifacts, and condenses rules and criteria for jade identification from various historical periods into a set of “General Principles of Jade Identification”, which can be used to identify one particular jade artifact as well as the jade ware from one historical period. The “General Principles” will serve as an indispensable tool for jade testing and identification.
