The Disposition of Ritual Jades in Royal Burials of the Chou Dynasty
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 March 2011
Extract
In a recent lecture before the Royal Asiatic Society I drew attention to a curious misunderstanding by Édouard Biot of a passage in the Chou li, as revealed in his French translation of that work. The mistake was repeated by Berthold Laufer, and by later writers; and since it has perplexed many antiquaries and collectors, it should, I think, be noted and corrected.
