LOT NOTES: Jade book has a long history. Inscribing important documents on jade, not only demonstrates the significance of the content, but also shows the rulera€?s willingness to pass it to the future. Jade book is usually divided into several types: political document, literature record, painting and calligraphy.
Originally made in both gold and jade, imperial seals and books were made only in jade since the 36th year of the reign of Emperor Qianlong. Jade books and jade seals with posthumous titles were made for deceased former Emperors and Empresses when bestowing upon them their posthumous titles. Inspired by their devotion to Buddhism, the scriptures, commendations, eulogies, etc. written by the emperor and his officials were often engraved on jade books or jade carvings, or written on paper and bound into a book. Emperor Qianlong once personally wrote the scriptures from the Heart Sutra on a bound book, which could be held in a small round jade box and worshipped at any time. The Heart Sutra scriptures, commendations to the Portrait of Arhats, and commendations to Three Star Gods written by the Emperor were common subjects carved on the jade books.
