This selection of 185 works provides a wonderful overview of the history of the art of jade carving in China. It demonstrates not only the variety and evolution of technical dexterity that is such a characteristic of jade carving in China, but also the stone's ritualistic, symbolic and decorative functions. As a material of unparalleled beauty and strength, jade acquired powerful symbolic values in the Chinese psyche, hence its significant role as the preferred material for so many symbolic and ritual objects. The catalogue illustrates jades from the Neolithic period, Shang dynasty, Western Zhou dynasty, Eastern Zhou dynasty, Han dynasty, Wei-jin to the Southern and Northern dynasties period, the Tang dynasty, Song dynasty, Liao, Jin and Yuan dynasties, Ming dynasty and the Qing dynasty.

Like most of China's amazing archaeological discoveries, the terracotta army was found by accident. It came to light in 1974 when local farmers were drilling a well. Since then, remarkable discoveries at the First Emperor's burial site have ben ongoing, revealing the wealth of China's ancient past. With contributions from leading scholars, China's Terracotta Warriors presents a panoramic view of Qin artistic, military, and administrative achievements under the powerful ruler sho proclaimed himself First Emperor of China. In addition to findings from his tomb complex, it examines the period of Chinese history preceding the First Emperor's reign (246-210 BCE) and his establishment of the Qin empire and dynasty in 221 BCE. The Qin state had been in existence for over half a millennium before the First Emperor came to the throne, and its rulers had played their parts in the evolution of a small state into a superpower. Only in recent years has that history been revealed through a series of remarkable and often accidental discoveries of tombs and burials of early Qin royals and aristocracy. In the absence of substantive and reliable written sources, it is this archaeological evidence which provides clues to Qin's rise from state to empire. China's Terracotta Warriors is published to accompany exhibitions at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco
