書評

This hardcover book with 288 full color pages is entirely devoted to Jade.
Over 200 works - drawn from prestigious French and international collections, including some of the most magnificent masterpieces of the Chinese imperial collections - here re-create the epic story of the history and aesthetics of jade.
From the dawn of Chinese civilization, when it became imbued with its quintessential qualities, to the 1920s, when this stone "more precious than gold" became the source of inspiration for modernist jewelry and objects of art, the authoritative essays and superb illustrations contained in these pages lift the veil on the history of this quintessential expression of Chinese culture.

The gentlemen of Antiquity found the likeness of all excellent qualities of jade
warm, smooth and glossy, it appeared to them like benevolence
Fine, compact and strong, like Intelligence
Its radiance rising as a rainbow, like heaven
its spirit appearing in the mountains and streams, like earth
Confucius
