"It has been suggested that congs were an ancieny form of axle bearing. The rectangular outer surface enables the axle to be braced against a flat suface such as the wooden base of a cart or a drill bed. Incised tracks on this outer suface allow for the bearing to be lashed securely. Similarly, bi discs are an early clutch plate type mechanism for transferring force between axial loads."

I have an excellent book at home I can reference, and I would love to include links to other associated ritual objects besides the Bi, as described in that book, including those referenced in Dragon Bones, a novel by Lisa See, author of Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. I think these kind of references and links can help to generate greater interest and understanding in other cultures, both historic and contemporary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beadmatrix (talk • contribs) 11:05, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

The spread of Liangzhu culture can be traced as far north as the southern end of Jiangsu Province, and as far south as Hangzhou in Zhejiang Province. It extends west into the eastern end of Anhui Province, and as far east as Shanghai and the coast. It was centered mainly in the Lake Tai area. There is a chronological overlap between Liangzhu culture and that of two other jade-working cultures, the earlier Hongshan culture and the later Longshan culture. Hongshan culture was located mainly around northeast and coastal China, while Longshan culture featured in the heartland of northern China and spread north into southern Liaoning province, west to Gansu Province, east to Shanghai, and south to Hubei Province.
