|
| During this period,a new trend of jade production and a series of
toys and items for daily use appeared. Jade sculptures became popular.
Animal, bird, flower and landscape were common decorative designs
and portrait themes were distinct. Jade ornaments taken in the shape
of bird, flower and a boy holding flowers reflected flavor of social
lifestyle and fashion during the Song dynasty. On the basis of their
own ethnic characteristics, jades of the Liao and Jin mixed the impact
of the Tang and Song to form a distinctive style. |
