I asked my AI friend doubao to give me ten questions about Han Dynasty Jade, and this is one: Can jade decorative objects reflect the status of their owners? The answer is...definitely! Generally speaking, in the Han Dynasty jade was a status symbol reserved for those at or above marquise status (but could be gifted to officials in special circumstances). This brings to mind many pieces in our exhibition hall, but today I want to introduce a special one called 韘型佩 Jade Pendant in the Shape of a "She". First, we need to know what a "she韘" is in order to understand how this piece shows status. "She" can be traced back as far as the Shang Dynasty, and were objects used to protect the thumb when doing archery (see diagram from the Capital Museum)so we could translate it as "archer's thumb ring". In confucian culture, archery was one of the six arts which showed a person of virtue and integrity, so wearing a pendant fashioned in the shape of an archery tool like this could represent this sort of status. It's important to note that a she shaped pendant is decorative, not for actual use. #culture #handynasty #jade #chineseculture #良渚博物院 #jadeculture #ancientchina摘要:I asked my AI friend doubao to give me ten questions about Han Dynasty Jade, and this is one: Can jade decorative objects reflect
