The most comprehensive introduction to the meaning of jadeite in pictures and texts

Corn, pomegranate, and grapes: Because they contain many grains, they are chosen to symbolize "many children and good fortune" and "ten thousand generations of descendants". Gourds, flowers, leaves, and vines are carved, with the many seeds in the gourd and the word "man" being homophones with "wan". Corn also has a meaning of "making a big splash" in the South.

Open-mouthed pomegranate, grape or gourd: spreads hundreds of seeds. According to old legend, King Wen of Zhou had a hundred sons. The number of pomegranate seeds represents a hundred children, and there is also the saying of "gourd of descendants".

Emerald green leaves represent vitality and imply that the tree of life is evergreen. Girls wearing emerald leaves will remain forever young and beautiful. Old people wearing emerald leaves will be full of energy and more energetic. It is homophonic with "career", which means a prosperous career, a step-by-step promotion, and a higher level of career.

Lotus: The lotus pattern on jade symbolizes being untainted by the mud. If the lotus and plum blossoms are together, it represents harmony and beauty. If the lotus and carp are together, it represents surplus every year. If the lotus and osmanthus are together, it represents the birth of many sons. If there is a pair of lotus pods, it represents the same heart.

A lotus stem or a lotus leaf: Qinglian is homophonic with "qinglian", which means clean and honest. The lotus is known as the flower of gentlemen in my country. Zhou Dunyi's "On the Love of Lotus" in the Song Dynasty praised the lotus as "growing out of the mud but not being stained, washing in the clear water but not being coquettish, the fragrance becoming clearer as it spreads further, standing tall and clean, it can be admired from afar but not played with", so the lotus has a noble and elegant image. "The first rank of integrity" is a metaphor for a smooth career and being an honest official.
