Abstract

In the development process of Chinese jade culture, Songze Culture period is an important stage in the development of the Neolithic culture in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River around Taihu Lake. In this stage, jade artifacts were initially used as "sacred devices" for funeral, and then developed into ritual vessels for important political activities such as sacrifices, while also possessing decorative artistic functions. This historical stage is an awakening period where the spiritual connotation and aesthetic level of jade culture gradually enrich and elevate. This paper applies modern aesthetic theories, taking some Unearthed Jade Artifacts as examples, to explore the specific aesthetic characteristics of Songze Culture jade artifacts by analyzing of material beauty, color beauty, craftsmanship beauty and decorative beauty, and to explore its abstract aesthetic characteristics by studying of historical beauty and cultural beauty. The aesthetic study of Songze Culture jade artifacts will also provide new materials and results for the establishment and development of Chinese jade aesthetics.
