The role and efficacy of jadeite

What are the functions and effects of jadeite? There is a reason why jadeite has such a high status. It is also a relatively special member in the jade family. So today let us learn about the functions and effects of jade.

Jadeite in its heyday

What are the functions and effects of jadeite? Let’s put that aside for now and let’s take a look at what jade is. Jadeite was born in Myanmar and is a type of jade, which is hard jade. Jade became popular in my country during the Qing Dynasty and we can currently see a large number of jade products from the Qing Dynasty. For example, court beads, feather tubes, thumb rings, snuff bottles, pipes, rings, necklaces, bracelets, pendants, etc. In fact, there was jadeite before the Qing Dynasty, but at present, jadeite before the Qing Dynasty has not appeared much, because the quantity is too small and it is rarely seen in historical documents.

The earliest jade products that can be seen in the collector's market today are those produced after the mid-Qing Dynasty. Qianlong's imperial ring, Cixi's jade hairpin and bracelet, which are said to have been worn by Cixi, and jade court beads worn by princes and ministers, have now been changed into jade bead necklaces. During the Qing Dynasty, jade was processed in Beijing, Suzhou, Yangzhou and other places and made into finished products.

The best jade materials were used to make court beads, thumb rings, feather tubes, dragon hooks, pens, bracelets, and rings, all of which were given to high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Inferior quality materials are used to make hooks, tobacco pestles, hairpins, white-handled bracelets and other items that ordinary people can afford. Jade has the widest range of collectors, from kings and nobles to ordinary people, everyone likes it.

Principles of buying jadeite

From ancient times to the present, the purchasing principles of jadeite remain unchanged.

1. Don’t buy products that are hard to tell whether they are real or fake. Don't underestimate the level of counterfeiting. For those that are cheap but perfect, hard to explain, look weird, and cannot provide certificates, it is better to believe they are fake than to believe they are real. Picking up a bargain is now unattainable. The buyer is not as smart as the seller. If you hold the idea of ​​picking up a bargain, you will be unlucky. In my country, the annual transaction volume of jadeite purchased online and in physical stores reaches tens of billions of yuan, but eight out of ten of them are inferior products passed off as good ones. Except for the three major jade brands headed by Ersunfu, it is basically difficult for ordinary buyers to buy truly high-quality A-grade jadeite.

2. Pay attention to the thickness. Unless it is high-color material, ordinary jade pendants (flowers) are mostly made of scraps, and the bracelet core material is considered to be sufficient. If the thickness is very thin, it may be the leftovers of leftover materials. Small size, light weight, not too high value.

3. Clarify the purpose of purchase.

4. Color is important. Color is very important for jadeite. Because of its small size, the first thing you see is definitely the color. There are many kinds of colors, but the key is to have correct color. Green is green, and yellow is yellow.

5. Don’t buy products that have no special features.

6. Don’t buy those with too many impurities. When buying jadeite, you should look at it through light. This is the most direct inspection method. Don't trust the seller's description completely. Jadeite with many impurities and dirty base greatly affects its value. Don't be superstitious that ice type is good. Dirty ice is not good ice either.

Okay, having said so much, let’s talk about the functions and effects of jade.

The role and efficacy of jadeite

Jade not only has a good decorative function, but also has a high artistic collection value. In addition, jade contains a variety of minerals and trace elements needed by the human body, such as selenium, zinc, cobalt, manganese, magnesium, etc. The starting waves emitted by these trace elements are in the same fluctuation state as the starting waves of human cells. Therefore, wearing jade can make human cells more active, promote blood circulation, enhance metabolism, and accelerate the excretion of waste in the body. Don’t you know that this is the function of jade? Scientific research has confirmed that long-term wearing and use of jade articles is beneficial to the blood meridians and skin because of the friction on the skin and acupoints, thus playing a role in preventing and curing diseases, so people often use jade as a talisman.

When jade is exposed to the constant temperature of its owner's body for a long time, the green silk in the jade will change from thin to long, and sometimes the base color of the jade will also undergo some subtle changes, as if people have given the jade a second life. The effect of jade is still magical. Wearing it can absorb the turbid air in the body, making the jade itself transparent and bright. This is the so-called "jade nourishes people, and people nourish jade"! The human body temperature is 37 degrees. Long-term wearing can change the molecular movement inside jade, making the jade transparent and moist. However, the cotton wool inside jade cannot be eliminated, and the molecular structure inside will not change with the movement of molecules. The reason why jade becomes oily after being worn for a long time is because jade has the property of absorbing oil. Therefore, jade will become lustrous after being "moisturized" by human body sebum. Wearing jade for a long time will complement the human breath and body temperature, and induct each other, making jade become spiritual, which is to make jade "come alive". It is said that if you wear your favorite jade piece all year round, the jade will produce "spiritual energy" and can share the fate of the owner.

Therefore, it is said that if a person takes care of jade for three years, jade will take care of the person for a lifetime.
