A huang is a Chinese arc-shaped jade artifact that was used as a pendant.
Huang arcs were used in a jade pei ornament set which would be worn from the belt.[4] The pendant set would emit a faint pleasant sound as the wearer walked, in line with the customs of Confucian etiquette. The number of huang arcs in a set of jade pendants is not always the same. It is suggested that the amount in a set may have indicated the social status of the person.
