Item description

?? (Jade Ge Dagger-Axe) – Ancient Chinese Ceremonial Weapon ?? (Yù G?) is a ritual jade artifact shaped like a dagger-axe (Ge), primarily used in Shang (1600–1046 BCE) and Zhou (1046–256 BCE) dynasties. Unlike practical bronze Ge weapons, jade versions were symbolic, representing power, authority, and divine connection. Key Features: Design: Long, slender blade with a sharp tip and tang (handle attachment). Some have decorative carvings (e.g., taotie masks, dragon motifs). Function: Ritual Ceremonies: Offered to gods or ancestors. Status Symbol: Buried with nobles (e.g., Tomb of Fu Hao, Shang Dynasty). Military Authority: Held by commanders as a token of leadership. Cultural Meaning: Jade symbolized virtue and immortality in Confucianism. The Ge shape merged weaponry and spirituality, reflecting "civil-military unity" (????). Famous Examples: Shang Dynasty Jade Ge (over 30 cm long, carved with intricate patterns). Western Zhou Jade Ge (smaller, often paired with inscriptions). Note: Later dynasties (e.g., Han) replaced Ge with jade Bi discs and Cong tubes for rituals.
