This book is contributed to the grand Qinghai province, to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, and to the 10,000-year-old Chinese jade culture! In this book , “Gold-Jade Medals Showcase 10,000-Year-Long Chinese Jade Culture,” is recorded every detail of the origins of the Olympic medal design and an account of Kunlun mythology and traditional Chinese culture. It analyzes how it has influenced modern culture and literature. The book takes a broad view and explains profound problems simply and clearly. Ite is an excellent work serving to promote the Beijing Olympics and traditional Chinese culture. As the author says ,nowadays most Chinese people do not even bother to ask questions about where the jade ware they value comes from, not to mention their lack of knowledge about its deep historical and cultural connotations. During a very long period of time, people have neglected the fact that jade is a window, through which we can trace our ancestors footprints.
