Abstract

[This chapter discusses the concept of jade worship, a key theme in the formation of Chinese civilization. Jade worship is an umbrella term for the primitive belief system that gave rise to much of Chinese cultural history. This chapter seeks to answer two related questions: first, why should one examine the origins of Chinese civilization from the perspective of belief systems and mythology? Second, how and why did “jade worship” become China’s primitive national belief system?]
