What reading level is An Imperial Necklace book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is endowed with many magic and curative properties, and was said to have been forged from the rainbow into thunder- bolts for the storm-god. Throughout the globe, wherever Chinese have gone, there also will jade be found. One might almost say that jade gives us an epitomised reflection of the history of Chinese civilisation and culture; it is to jade that one can turn for a register of the emotions and ideals of the Celestial from earliest times. The grandest jades belong to the Chou Dynasty... (1122-256 b.c), a period famous for the great teach- ers it brought forth: Confucius and Laotse in China, and Buddha in India. The major- ity of pieces that we see today are nineteenth, or at best eighteenth-century products. As objects of decoration they are very beautiful, and the delicate, intricate work lavished upon them cannot but arouse our admiration.
Jade is said to have been known to the legendary Emperor Huang-ti, of the third mil- lennium B.C.; but the term was then used in a more comprehensive way, and another mineral might have been meant.
