Abstract: In a variety of cultural contexts, primitive ideas invariably corresponded to the socio-cultural background of the era, as a result of which many legends and religious rituals associated with jade were formed. The subjects of the Chinese art of jade carving are the fruit of centuries–old cultural and historical experience. They are an expression of the spirit of national culture in the form. Thus, the subject of this study is the Chinese carved jade from the collection of the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography Peter the Great (Kunstkamera) of the Russian Academy of Sciences (hereinafter - the Kunstkamera). The subject of the study are objects of Chinese jade carving art, which are in the collection of the Kunstkamera.
The main conclusion of this study is that the subjects made in jade carving were associated with mythology and religion, and their artistic expression reflected the jade culture of different historical periods and representations of different social strata. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that the article focuses on determining the age of jade products by analyzing their plots, and also confirms that ancient artists, through geometric shapes and dynamism of the pine tree image as one of the central images of plant plots, enhanced the transmission of spatial perspective in the art of jade carving. This may be of interest to researchers in related scientific fields.
