玉琮是中国古代重要礼器之一，以其独特的“内圆外方”造型著称，最早出现于新石器时代的良渚文化，历经商周沿用至明清。其器身常饰有神人兽面纹等精美图案，雕琢工艺精湛，反映当时高超的制玉水平。玉琮不仅是原始宗教信仰与礼仪制度的载体，更体现古人“天圆地方”的宇宙观，是研究古代社会文化、宗教信仰及工艺技术的重要实物资料，承载着深厚的历史文化内涵。 The jade cong is one of the important ritual vessels in ancient China, renowned for its unique "round inside and square outside" shape. It first appeared in the Liangzhu Culture of the Neolithic Age and was used from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties through to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Its body is often decorated with exquisite patterns such as the God-Man and Animal-Face纹 (God-Man and Animal-Face motifs), showcasing superb craftsmanship and reflecting the highly advanced jade-making techniques of the time. The jade cong serves not only as a carrier of primitive religious beliefs and ritual systems but also embodies the ancient Chinese cosmology of "heaven is round and earth is square." It is an important material artifact for studying ancient social culture, religious beliefs, and craftsmanship, bearing profound historical and cultural connotations.
