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.
