      Although the collection of jade articles by the Chinese nation has a history of thousands of years, it has not been a long time to really study jade articles seriously. In addition, jade articles have been imitated in almost all dynasties, especially in recent years.

We wonder the age of an ancient jade or the imitation of an antique jade, mainly based on the characteristics of the age of the jade material, shape, decoration, knife skill, and color. Among them, the ornaments have the most distinctive characteristics of the era, which is the most powerful evidence to judge the age of the jade.

Wang Jinan, director of the Art Consultation Center of Xuzhou Museum, will lead everyone to identify and appreciate the jade ornaments in this event.

Understanding and mastering the decorative features of jade ware in different eras is the first prerequisite for judging and discriminating jade ware. This“double eleven” let us date the museum, let's have a jade ware hunting together.
