These three people not only belong to the same dynasty, but also jointly promoted the development of jadeite.

Jade is not a native product of our country.

Yet it is so popular in our country.

On the one hand, it is because my country has a traditional jade culture.

On the other hand, the quality of jadeite itself is really higher than many jades.

In the process of promoting the popularization and development of jade in our country,

There are three historical figures.

Played a decisive role.

Today we will take a look at which ones play such an important role!

These three have one thing in common.

They are all from the Qing Dynasty.

Because although jade was discovered in the Ming Dynasty,

However, it was still popular during the Qing Dynasty.

I guess all of you jade friends should have guessed who the editor is talking about.

One: Yongzheng

In 1733,

In the eleventh year of Yongzheng's reign,

Received the emerald tribute,

They are Yongchang Jasper,

The four sides of the green stone plate,

Forty plates of marble beads.

These tributes are all carved from jade.

From Yunnan.

This marked the beginning of the popularity of jadeite in the country.

You should know that the things that can be called tribute are the best local items.

Once the tribute is approved by the emperor,

This means that the item has value.

Xu Xiake of the Ming Dynasty wrote about jadeite in his travel notes.

At that time, people still reluctantly admitted that it was jade.

Not recognized.

This shows that Emperor Yongzheng definitely laid the foundation for jadeite to become well known to the public.

2. Qianlong

No one would dispute that Qianlong was a big name in jadeite collection, right?

There are a lot of jade collections left over from the Qianlong period.

There are countless jadeites.

In film and television dramas, we often see Qianlong wearing a jade ring.

Since Qianlong loved jade much more than other emperors,

Therefore, the tribute of jade from various places was also very large.

Of course, this also includes jadeite tribute from Yunnan.

During this period, jadeite poured into the Central Plains in large quantities.

The popular trends at that time were what was popular in the palace.

Whatever is popular outside the palace.

And because Qianlong loved jade,

Therefore, it is loved by the upper class.

In the late Qianlong period,

The price of jadeite is much higher than that of Hetian jade.

Three: Empress Dowager Cixi

During the Qianlong period, Ji Xiaolan wrote that jade was not valuable at the time.

At best, it is just a low-grade variety of Lantian jade.

It can barely be called jade.

During the Qianlong period, jadeite poured into China in large quantities.

However, it really became popular in the late Qing Dynasty.

The Empress Dowager Cixi's love for jade is well known to the world.

She owns countless jades.

Under her influence,

There was a craze for wearing jade both inside and outside the palace.

Because of the special status of Empress Dowager Cixi,

The influence is huge.

This "jade fever" continued until the subsequent war years.

Gold in troubled times, emerald in prosperous times,

During that period of humiliation in modern Chinese history, the number of people collecting jadeite also decreased year by year.

Today, my country's comprehensive national strength and international status are increasing.

More people are buying jade.

The price of jade has also increased in recent years.

Summarize:

It is said that these three are important figures in promoting the development of jade in our country.

Do you have any more ideas, my fellow jade lovers?
