Abstract

Jade in China has a longstanding history with its early origin rooted in profound influence and continuous development of culture. Ancient Chinese jade has become a predominant physical embodiment of traditional Chinese culture, conveying mysterious, distant, and critical historical information. This article analyzes the beliefs of the ancient Hongshan people in China reflected by the precious jade transmitted to the present and discusses the sacrificial vessel as one type of transmission from the example of Jade with Octagonal Shape. This article highlights the development, role, and status of Jade with Octagonal Shape as one of the sources of Chinese civilization, intended to help people appreciate the faith of the ancient Chinese Jade culture and deepen people’s understanding of art collection in contemporary society. This article also plays a summary and ground-breaking role in the study of Jade with Octagonal Shape, redefining it as an abstract turtle.
