RARE ANTIQUE EARLY CHINESE JADE DISC (BI) w/ DUSKY TEAL BLUE SILK HANGING TASSEL~ JINBU /YAOPEI This really is a rare and incredible find! This antique, early Chinese dusky teal Jinbu/ Yaopei is in terrific condition for its age! Finding these as intact as this one is is very rare. Usually only the Jade Bi is left. This jinbu / yaopei is in remarkable condition! “Ensemble of jade pendants and/or jade strings which were combined with other precious materials (such as silver or gold accessories) were called jinbu (Chinese: 禁步); the jinbu were a type of yaopei (waist accessories) which were typically worn by women to press down the hemline of their clothing.[3] The jinbu appeared thousands of years ago and were initially only worn by nobles, but with time, it was gradually adopted by all women regardless of their social ranks.[3] The jinbu also used to be an indicator of elegance and etiquette in ancient times: if the behaviour of its wearer is discourteous (i.e. walking too fast), the jinbu would sound loud; and thus, it would remind the wearer to mind his manners and elegance; on the other hand, if its wearer behave appropriately, the jinbu would sound melodic and pleasant.[3] This is also explained in the chapter Yuzao《玉藻》in the Liji:[24]When (the king or ruler) was walking quickly (to the court of audience), he did so to the music of the Cai Qi; when walking more quickly (back to the reception-hall), they played the Si Xia. When turning round, he made a complete circle; when turning in another direction, he did so at a right angle. When advancing, he inclined forward a little; he held himself up straight; and in all these movements, the pieces of jade emitted their tinklings. So also the man of rank, when in his carriage, heard the harmonious sounds of its bells; and, when walking, those of his pendant jade-stones; and in this way evil and depraved thoughts found no entrance into his mind.— Translated by James Legge, Liji 《玉藻 – Yu Zao》, 37″ ~ Wikipedia This rare item is made of a dusky, teal blue with gold and navy blue accents. The jade bi is 1-1/2″ or 3.81 cm in diameter and is almost a 1/4″ thick. The bi is in excellent condition for its age without any chips, cracks or other damage. The woven part of this jinbu / yaopei is in very good condition for its age. It measures 30” in length from tip to tip. Its design and structure are intact without any damage, just a few spots of wear, please see photos. This piece came out of an estate in Monterey, CA.
