What does it mean to have jade and emerald? ——Basic interpretation of jadeite

The word "jade" has been mentioned so many times that it has become a fixed mindset, and many people do not understand its true meaning. Jadeite is actually two words, namely "fei" and "cui". Fei means red and cui means green. The word jadeite refers to jadeite jade. "Fei" can be the abbreviation of jadeite, for example "hongfei" means red jadeite and "heifei" means black jadeite. However, "Cui" cannot be used as the abbreviation of jadeite. For example, "Mo Cui" does not mean ink-colored jadeite.

Jadeite with both red and green means that jadeite has both red and green colors. Cui means green, and Fei means red. If the red color is bright and vivid, and the jade is transparent, it is a very rare and high-end type of jade. Because colored jade is becoming less and less, the jade market's preference for jade color has gradually changed from traditional green, violet and other colors to yellow or red, resulting in the overall price of red jade or yellow jade rising steadily. Red jade is very suitable for making antique jade jewelry. The red jade bracelets made from it have a sense of oldness and vicissitudes of life, and seem to render the historical color thick and solemn, and have a strong cultural atmosphere.

In the world of jade, there is a saying: It is easy to get thousands of jades, but it is difficult to find one jade. So, what exactly do jadeite and emerald refer to? As the name suggests, Cui means emerald green, which represents the color green. So what about Fei? The meaning of the word "fei" is: in ancient books, it refers to a bird with red feathers. The jade in jade is formed due to weathering, and hematite slowly seeps in along the gaps between jade particles. It is the secondary color of jade. Simply put, the color that jade has at the beginning of its formation is the primary color, and the color that is formed by intrusion after jade is formed is the secondary color. Green and white are primary colors, while red, yellow, etc. are secondary colors. The "jade color" is very rich, including red, light red, reddish brown, brown series tones, and sometimes even rust color. Pure red is very rare, and the best red is called cockscomb red.

Most of the jade on the market have been processed by "burning red". Burning red, as the name suggests, means heating the red jadeite to a bright red color through burning. This kind of red jade is still natural A-grade jade, but because of the heating, its internal structure has changed, its texture has become sparse, and its price is far less than that of natural unheated red jade.
