cong (ceremonial vessel) (vessels (containers), <containers by form>, ... Furnishings and Equipment (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Late Neolithic Chinese jade or stone tubes having a squared exterior surface and a round, hollow interior. They are usually decorated at the corners with facial features, sometimes abbreviated to concentric circles or eye-like shapes, and embellished with incised horizontal bars on the planar surfaces. An ancient Chinese text called 'The Rites of Zhou' states that the cong was used as a sacrifice to the earth. Symbolic meaning may be a counterpart to that of the "bi (ceremonial object)," which represented the heavens. Similar vessels may date to later periods.
