Abstract

Jade fish is a kind of fish-shaped jade ornaments in ancient times, the use of jade fish throughout the history of Chinese jade culture. The Shang Dynasty was the heyday of jade fish development. Due to the unique religious form of the Shang Dynasty, the jade fish of this period not only has wearing value, but also adds a touch of mysterious color. This paper categorizes and explores the functions, uses, and cultural implications of the jade fish, an image of ancient jade culture, and reveals the meaning behind the popularity of the jade fish in the Shang and Zhou periods and the culture, folklore, and lifestyle it implies.
