The Chinese nation is known for its tradition of loving jade and worshipping jade. Because of the homonym of "fish" and "yu", it means "more than a year", so the accessories with fish as the theme have become popular since the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The jade fish unearthed from the Shang Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty archaeology are also appreciated by readers from the aspects of jade, shape and ornamentation.

Most of the fish-shaped jade articles of Shang Dynasty were unearthed in the tombs and ruins of Shang Dynasty in Henan, Hunan, Shanxi, Shandong and other places. There are two kinds of carvings and semi-circles. According to the overall shape, the jade carving jade fish can be divided into three types: one, straight bar shape, the same as the front and back patterns, and the fish head, eyes and fins are all in length, and the length is about 3-8 cm. Second, the shape of the skull, the back of the arch jumps, the snout is stretched forward and downward, and the tail is obliquely backward and downward. Third, the fish body round fertilizer is broad and flat, with a width of 2 to 3 cm. The scales are expressed in two or three rows of small arcs.

The jade used in the Shang Dynasty jade fish mainly has jade and impure white jade, among which jade is more. There are generally two types of shape: one is a straight shape, the round body is small, the body shape is short, and the mouth has a perforation; the other is a dove-shaped shape, the fish body has a multi-indented line, and the incision line is upward to the sacral line. The part presents a complete fish head shape. The fins cover the body and there are small straight lines on the fins. The production is generally rough. Some of the tails are not forked, and some are like swallowtails. The eyes are slightly convex in shape, or they are engraved into a round eye with double-yin lines, and the fisheyes can be tied with a rope or drilled with a tether hole. There is a "T" shape in front of the fish mouth, similar to the protrusion of the inlaid hoe.

Most of the merchants' jade fish are single-circle round eyes, single dorsal fins, double pelvic fins, and different tails. They are decorated with parallel scaly scales on the fish body. The overall shape is simple and simple. On the whole, the Shang Dynasty jade fish is more practical, such as the fish-shaped carving knife and the fish ear spoon, which are both practical and beautiful. To sum up, the jade fish of the Shang Dynasty has the following characteristics: 1. The piece sculpture has a straight shape, a curved shape and an oblate shape from the overall shape, and the shape is vivid and exaggerated. 2. The fish mouth part is stretched in a "T" shape, or the upper lip is turned up. The fisheye is engraved into a round eye with a double-yin line, which is about half the width of the head. The surimi is a double-yellow line separated by a double arc from top to bottom. 3. The dorsal fin and the two pelvic fins are represented by neatly arranged parallel straight stencils, some of which are "v" shaped grooves. 4. The tail is roughly divided into two types, which are a knife-shaped tail and a differential fork. 5. Multi-faceted, a few carved jade fish have curved scales, most of which are in the eye.

The Western Zhou Dynasty was another peak in the production of fish-shaped jade. The tombs and ruins of the Western Zhou Dynasty were unearthed in Beijing, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and Henan. The overall shape of the early stage still follows the rules of the Shang Dynasty jade fish. In the flaky fish-shaped contour, the formatting elements such as the round eye, the dorsal fin and the pelvic fin, the fish gill and the scorpion tail are filled, so that on some monolithic jade fish It is difficult to distinguish between the week and the week. However, after careful observation, the main difference is that there is a difference between the double circle large circle of the Western Zhou Yuyu and the single circle of the Shang Dynasty.

Most of the jade fish in the Zhou Dynasty are sapphire, which is different from the Shang Dynasty. Although there is still a form of fish combined with a knife, it is placed near the chest and waist. The original knife that was attached to the jade fish has been replaced by the elongated fish tail. The practicality of the knife has been reduced, and a large number of jade carving knives have been used as hand grips. The length of the fishtail of most western jade fish is increased compared with the merchant jade fish, and the tail end is mostly beveled or drooped for horseshoe shape. Most of the jade fish in the Zhou Dynasty are curved and made a water jump. The fish is long and has scales on the body and is oblong. The mouth is slightly flat, the lips are thick, the upper lip is upturned, and the mouth is wider than the ankle.

In the early Western Zhou Dynasty, the upper part of the fish mouth is pointed upwards, and the lower edge is mostly curved. The fish mouth and the fish tail are both perpendicular, or one side is vertical and the other side is inclined. The fisheye is carved into a large round eye by a diagonal knife, and the fisheye extends downwards toward the front of the fish mouth with a negative line. One of the dorsal fins, the fish body is not prominent, the front edge is close to the sacral line, and the lower edge of the dorsal fin is highlighted by the incision line. One or two of the pelvic fins are slightly protruded in vitro or in contact with the body, and the upper edge of the pelvic fin is highlighted by an intaglio line. The middle of the tail has a "V" shaped opening, which is slightly up and down, slightly vertical, inclined or parallel. In the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the upper part of the fish mouth is pointed upwards, and the front edge extends obliquely downward, resembling an axe. One of the dorsal fins, the fish body is not prominent, the front edge is close to the sacral line, the trailing edge is slightly convex or slightly concave, and the lower edge of the dorsal fin is protruded by the incision line. The tail is pointed up and down, tilted to the ground, and has a "V" shaped opening in the middle. In the late Western Zhou Dynasty, the middle part of the jade fish head was pointed up and down, and the upper and lower lips were rolled up and down respectively, and there were features of the Yulong mouth in the late Western Zhou Dynasty. The fisheye is carved into a large round eye with a thick oblique line of the oblique knife, and the fishing rod is scored with a double negative line and extends downward. The dorsal fin pelvic fins have protruding body parts of the fish, and the fins are drawn with fine lines. The tail is pointed up and down, with a "V" shaped opening in the middle. The perforations are close to the ankle.
