1 Rawson, loc. cit.
2 Xia Nai, op. cit., p. 22.
3 Ibid., p. 27. Xia Nai states that only two jade congs have been found in over 10,000 exca�vated Han tombs and both were of pre-Han dates. Therefore, they were probably buried simply as treasured antiquities.
4 Ibid., p. 25.
5 de Groot relates that even the deceased monarchs had these jade suits. �The sovereigns of the Han dynasty were in the habit of sending their dead into the tomb with robes adorned with pearls, and with boxes of jade stone. These boxes looked like coats of mail, chains being carved out upon them and inlaid with gold. The boxes used in the case of Emperor Wu (140-87 B.C.) were all inlaid on the lid with figures of dragons, phoenixes and tortoise- dragons. Hence they were called at that time �dragon-boxes of jade�.� The Religious System of China, Leyden, 1882, p. 401.

1 The popularity of jade during the Tang is confirmed by Tang chroniclers who tell us of Yang Guifei, a Tang emperor�s concubine, who slept on a �jade bed� and wore many jade ornaments. She was also known as the �Jade Beauty� because of her beautiful skin. Gump, Jade, Stone of Heaven, New York, 1962, p. 148.
