The jade-making techniques in the Yuan dynasty (1271-1368) achieved an unprecedented level in making three-dimensional openwork at many layers to gain perspectives for the design. Variety and forms of jade were adapted to the needs of the public. A lot of works of folk art appeared: Jade Falcon Biting Wild Goose implicates that the small can beat the big; Five Relations symbolizes the feudal ritual system; Autumn Mountain and Spring River show the travel of a Yuan emperor. They are very important in providing material objects for ancient jade research and gaining an understanding of the social history of that time.
