The article takes jade religion and mythology (taking jade as god and using it to communicate with heaven) formed in prehistoric times as dynamic factors at the beginning of Chinese civilization. Quadruple-evidences approaches are applied to explore the kingship construetion's importance of ritual jade in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. The article also analyzes the national treasure resources' process changing from multi-sources to one-source in the Western Zhou Dynasty which is made by the openingof the Jade Route, and reveals the identityfunction which prompts the formation of China between the core material and the dominant spirit (i. e. the core value). It elucidates the mystery of multicultural integration within early civilization, and clarifies the formation of a eurytopic multi-ethnic country changing from "diversification" to "integration", based on the interaction of strategic resource integration. On the raw material supplying network of the central kingship's holy symbols, different regional ethnic groups take an associated position in prehistoric times. According to this position, we hope to clear up those missing dynamic factors of "starriness" theory and "diversification facilitating integration" theory once again.
