Jade jewelry is exquisite and beautiful. How much do you know about the meaning of its name?

We all know that jadeite appeared in my country during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it became popular throughout the dynasty as soon as it appeared. Both ordinary people and rulers sitting on the throne loved jadeite very much. They often made jade into jade pendants and wore them on their bodies, and rulers would also make them into jade rings. Every time he goes out, by identifying the style and material of the jade, you can tell the person's identity and whether he is noble.

Just like us novice drivers who have just obtained our driving license, we will pay special attention to the cars around us when driving on the road. If it is a famous brand car, we will stay away from it for fear of scratching it. People in ancient times were the same. If they saw someone wearing jade of high quality and with particularly fine craftsmanship, they would stay away from him, because such a person must be either rich or noble, and not someone that ordinary people could afford to offend. Therefore, in ancient times, jade became a symbol of status.

Everyone knows the history of jade, its origin, and its production area. But how much do you know about the name jade? In ancient times, there was a bird called kingfisher. Its voice was very pleasant and clear, just like a lively girl. As for jadeite, its color is very clear, translucent and crystal clear, giving people a feeling very similar to that of a kingfisher. So the “翠” in jadeite comes from the “翠” in the kingfisher.

There is another saying that the "Cui" in jadeite comes from the color green, because green jadeite is the most common, and the first jadeite discovered by people was also green. If we buy it normally, the price of green jadeite is relatively low. Especially the ancient rulers, they liked full green jade very much, they thought this color was very deep and majestic, and especially in line with their noble, calm and mature temperament. So there are two sources of Cui.

Everyone knows the origin of emerald green, but what about the origin of jadeite? The "fei" in jadeite actually represents a color, which is red. We all know that the formation of jade is a process of numerous hardships. It is the result of continuous squeezing of the plates, followed by continuous collision and impact that finally forms jade. There are also some iron elements in jade. After years of accumulation and development, these iron elements will slowly turn red.

So the "fei" in jadeite comes from this. However, the red color of jade actually includes two major categories, one is red and the other is yellow. Moreover, red is also divided into different levels, including dark red, light red, blood red and so on. There are many kinds of yellow, such as golden yellow and light yellow. Some yellows are darker and a little brown. The quality of this kind of yellow jade is not very high and it does not look very clear.
