Abstract: A large number of jade artifacts with distinctive regional characteristics were unearthed at the sacrificial zones of the Sanxingdui and Jinsha sites of the ancient Shu culture, which were different from jade objects excavated from other contemporary sites in China. However, through research and analysis, it has been uncovered that the ancient Shu jade artifacts, represented by those unearthed from Sanxingdui and Jinsha, were deeply influenced by multiple jade cultures of other regions throughout their origin and development. In terms of types, assemblages, manufacturing techniques, and decorative features, jade artifacts of the ancient Shu had evidently inherited and retained many external cultural elements. These factors directly promoted the occurrence and development of ancient Shu jade artifacts, based on which, they continued to absorb, integrate and innovate, ultimately achieving prosperity.
