Black Jade Agenew evidence of 5000-year history of China /[electronic resource] :by Shuxian Ye. - Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :2025. - xxxii, 231 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

The Puzzling Origin of Chinese Civilization -- A Discourse on the Black Jade Age -- Commencement of the Black Jade Age -- The Jing, Wei, and Luo Tributaries of the Yellow River:An Investigation of the Black Jade Halberd's Distribution -- The Black Jade of Longshan Culture in Central China-Taosi, Qingliangsi, and Donglongshan -- Tracing the Development of the Black Jade -- Conclusion: Prehistoric Black Jade Luxuries and Their Evolution.

This book analyzes and summarizes the narrative motifs of Chinese mythology, before tracing their material and cultural elements using the new classification of Big Tradition and Small Tradition theories of culture from the field of literary anthropology, as well as related interdisciplinary theories from literary anthropology and archaeology. China's history reaches back more than 5,000 years, while the earliest known Chinese character system, oracle bone script, was created over 3,000 years ago. Following up on a reference to black jade in The Classic of Mountains and Rivers, the author conducts an extensive survey of black jade ritual articles in the Yellow River and its tributaries, supported by the new archaeological discoveries of black jade battle axes, the primal jade ritual article used in the Central Plains 5,300 years ago. The author then establishes a chain of evidence, using quadruple-evidence methods to validate the Black Jade Age as the first age of the jade culture in the Central Plains. His goal in doing so is to flesh out the myth-enshrouded age of Emperor Yan, Emperor Huang, and Warrior Chiyou, transform it into a substantiated landscape of the origin of the Central Plains Civilization, and offer evidence-based reasoning for this two-thousand-year gap. By doing so, it arrives at unprecedented insights into the origin of Chinese civilization. Methodologically speaking, the book adopts quadruple-evidence methods from the field of literary anthropology, emphasizes intellectual exploration beyond documentary records, combines the living cultural inheritance with newly discovered cultural inheritance that has long been lost underground, makes full use of the method of physical evidence, and employs a series of physical images to form a far more complete and systematic chain of evidence, so as to successfully reconstruct the cultural contexts of China's 5000-year history.
