玉在周代礼制中的文化蕴义

Cultural Connotation of Jade in the Rites of Zhou Dynasty

玉器与中国古代的宗教信仰、礼仪制度、等级观念、丧葬习俗等方面关系密切,是任何其他质料的器物所不能比拟的。玉器文化因此成为中国古代文化的重要组成部分,在中国文化思想史上占有一席之地。

Jade artifacts in ancient China were closely related with religions, rites, ranks, funerals and other customs, which could be replaced by nothing that were not made of jade. Hence the jade culture forms an important part of ancient Chinese culture, and holds a position in the history of Chinese culture and ideology.
