Historical value: Yue (pronounced Yue) is a kind of ancient Chinese weapon and ritual vessel. As early as the Neolithic Liangzhu cultural site, jade-made Yue was found, which had a sacred symbolic function at that time. Later, due to its heavy shape and lack of flexibility, it was finally used for ceremonial purposes and was often used as a manifestation of the holder's power.
