Jade Culture in China

The Chinese have had a special fondness for jade since ancient times, and they like jade more than gold and other jades. In ancient times, "a gentleman will never leave his jade without a reason, and a gentleman is as virtuous as jade." Jade's warm color represents kindness, its tough texture symbolizes wisdom, its non-injurious edges represent fairness and justice, and the clear and soothing sound produced when struck is a reflection of the virtue of integrity. Because of this, it has been loved by people since ancient times.

Jade was introduced to China from Burma in the 16th century. Since then, jade has been deeply rooted in China. After a long historical evolution, the long-standing Chinese traditional culture and the king of jade - jadeite, have penetrated and sublimated each other, and gradually become closely integrated. Chinese traditional culture is fully reflected in jadeite.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, jade was brought to China by a porter on an expedition to Burma. It is emerald green, crystal clear and moist, with a delicate and gentle appearance, but its essence is both hard and soft, which coincides with the moral realm pursued by a gentleman. People combine jade's hard texture, crystal luster, warm water head, changing colors and carveable properties with the gentleman's five virtues of benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage and purity. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty loved jadeite so much that he called it "Emperor's Jade". Since then, jade has become an object of people's pursuit and a green elf that contains rich Confucian culture.

The Chinese nation is a jade-loving nation, and the Chinese have a unique affection for jade. Jade has a history of 7,000 years in China. Jade culture, with jade articles as its carrier, is a microcosm of Chinese traditional culture. It not only profoundly reflects the religious, political, economic and cultural conditions of various historical periods, but also reflects people's good wishes to use jade to compare virtues and cultivate their sentiments. At the same time, it also witnesses the Chinese people's virtues of being reserved, beautiful and kind.

Jade is loved by people today, not only because it is an exquisite work of art and treasure, but also because it can promote human health. The ancients used it mostly for health care, and this custom has been passed down to this day. There is a saying among the folks that jade can nourish people, which means that close contact between jade and the human body can promote blood circulation. If a person has a good physique, the jade will be smooth and moisturized, soft like fat, and the person will have a rosy complexion and a moist body. On the contrary, both are dark and dull. As a result, people also made a large number of jade pillows, jade pendants, jade locks, and jade cigarette holders to improve their health and prevent diseases. During the friction and rolling process, heat can be accumulated and energy can be stored to form an electromagnetic field, which can make the human body resonate and promote more coordinated and precise operation of various parts and organs. It also contains trace elements that are beneficial to the human body. Frequent contact with human skin can protect the skin.
