During the Eastern Zhou and the Han periods, it was
customary for the nobility to wear elaborate sets of jade
pendants with dragon and phoenix decorations to symbolise
their high social position. Jade pendants, in the shape of huang,
bi disc, or huan rings, were symmetrically strung together as a
set hung from the waist. Some of the most striking examples
are the eleven sets of openwork jade pendants from the tomb
site of the Nanyue King, dated to early Western Han, and
illustrated in Zhongguo yuqi quanji, vol. 4, Shijiazhuang, 1993,
pls. 41, 46, 49, 53 and 55.
