The 600-year history of jade is not hype but jade culture

When it comes to jade, Chinese people are no strangers to it, but among jade enthusiasts who understand jade, only a small proportion can appreciate its value. Some people believe that the price of jade is so high due to artificial speculation, because these people believe that the price is what the merchant says it is and there is no international standard like gold. I can only say that this view is due to your incomplete understanding of the jade quality market and jade culture, which results in you being unable to make a value judgment on the jade in front of you and therefore labeling it as hype. This statement is rather extreme. First of all, jade is not priceless. It is just that there are many standards for evaluating its quality that require certain professional knowledge and market experience to make a relatively accurate evaluation, and both expertise and experience require learning and practice. Jade has cultural heritage, otherwise it would not be so popular among Chinese people.

Jade has a history of nearly 600 years from the late Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty. If it is hyped, how could it be hyped for so long? Chinese jade culture consists of: ancient jade culture, white jade culture, and jadeite culture. Together they constitute China's jade culture of 1977, and jadeite culture can be said to have pushed Chinese jade culture to a new height. Personal views on jadeite culture can be reflected from two aspects.

The green color of jade itself represents peace, striving and endless life. At the same time, green is the main color of nature, representing youth, vigor, positivity and love of life. The green of jadeite is mysterious and profound, subtle and dignified, pure and soft. Jade is mainly green in color, and the blending and combination of various colors represent the unity of the many ethnic groups in our country.

From a small perspective, Chinese people like the doctrine of the mean in their moral character and style of dealing with things. They show it but do not declare it, just like the characteristics of jade. Its beauty is implicit, not as ostentatious as diamonds, and different from colored gems that attract attention at first glance but are more obvious upon closer inspection. From these characteristics of jade, it is not difficult to see why Oriental people are so obsessed with jade. This obsession has spread from the imperial palace to the people, and there are jade lovers from the upper class to the working people at the bottom. It can be seen that although the social identities are different, the traditional cultural views and aesthetic concepts that remain deep in the hearts of every Chinese are the same.
