What are the characteristics of making jade articles in the Western Zhou Dynasty?
Judging from the jade handed down from ancient times, there are some basic information about the jade in the Western Zhou Dynasty: the jade used is slightly more beautiful than that in the previous period, mostly Kunlun jade in Xinjiang, with a small amount of xiuyan jade in Liaoning.

The production of jade articles in the Western Zhou Dynasty is basically similar to that in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, except that the hardest Kunlun jade materials are widely used, the tools used are advanced and the jade cutting skills are greatly improved. The biggest change of jade in the Western Zhou Dynasty is the variety of jade. The practical or impractical jade articles that prevailed from the Neolithic Age to the Shang Dynasty have gradually disappeared by this time; In the jade ritual vessels made by imitating actual combat weapons, at least in the Central Plains, jade knives and jade qi are not seen.

Brother Yu and Yu Qi have entered a recession. Specifically, not only the number is small, but also the shape of utensils is developing towards miniaturization. Most of them have been reduced from tens of centimeters in the past to about 10 cm, and their uses have also become symbolic, mainly for collecting treasures and wealth products.

Jade cong in ritual vessels were found in a large number in the royal seat of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Most of them have been miniaturized, and the number of jade yellow and jade pots has increased sharply. Hosta appeared in the jade group for the first time, but Yu Zhang still didn't see the real thing.

At this time, in addition to a few plastic upright lifelike human objects, there are still many human-dragon recombiners, squatting on the ground, with several dragons all over them, or wearing them as organs or accessories, and looking sideways or individuals from the right. Its system is peculiar and full of the times.
