As the old saying goes, "If jade is not carved, it cannot become a useful object", which is mainly from the perspective of practicality. Because most ancient jade artifacts were practical utensils that needed to be carved into shape before they could be used. At the same time, this sentence is also used to guide life, believing that human growth is like the formation of jade, which requires carving and polishing.

Nowadays, we say "jade must be crafted, and the craftsmanship must have meaning." This is vividly reflected in jade ornaments. Jade ornaments are a popular choice as gifts, and auspicious meanings are essential. As the year draws to a close, a large wave of gift-giving demands comes in, and many jade lovers are looking for suitable ornaments in the village.

Since it is a gift, you must first understand the meaning of various jade ornaments so that you can make a better choice.

Bringing Wealth and Fortune

The Jade God of Wealth, Jade Cabbage, Jade Pixiu and Jade Golden Toad are all excellent ornaments that symbolize attracting wealth and keeping fortune. The God of Wealth is the deity in charge of wealth, cabbage is homophonic to "百财" (a hundred fortunes), Pixiu likes to eat gold and silver treasures and only takes in but never gives out, and the Jade Golden Toad is homophonic to "金缠" (golden chan) and holds a gold ingot in its mouth, all of which symbolize attracting wealth and prosperity. Whether it is business dealings or gifts from friends, it is an excellent choice.

Prosperous business

If wealth-attracting ornaments are commonly used for general gift-giving, then important jade items (trips, bottles, etc.), Three Yangs Bring Good Fortune, and Dragon Soars in the Prosperous Era are for the opening of a company, operation, or unveiling of a major project, implying a prosperous business and everything going well. This kind of decoration is very popular at the beginning and end of each year.

Protect your home from disasters

This type of jade ornaments often appear in homes. When moving into a new house, many friends will choose jade Guan Gong, jade Qilin, jade heavy objects, etc., which can ward off evil and ensure safety. They can eliminate disasters and turn misfortune into good fortune.

Safe and healthy

The more representative ones are the jade turtle and longevity peach. The turtle’s biggest feature is longevity, and it is also a symbol of auspiciousness. Longevity peaches also symbolize health and longevity. In addition, jade Guanyin, Buddha, etc. also symbolize peace, health and good luck. It is almost a panacea for gifts and you can never go wrong.

Happy and contented

This type of ornaments are usually placed at home. The themes include twin lotus flowers, Guanyin, dragon and phoenix, mandarin ducks, etc. They mainly symbolize a happy family life, and also wish the couple to treat each other with respect.

Cultivate sentiment

In addition to themes such as gods and Buddhas, flowers, trees and auspicious animals, the most common jade ornaments are landscape themes. Ornaments with landscape themes do not have a strong purpose or meaning, but are more of a reflection of personal aesthetic taste and attitude towards life. They are generally given to teachers and seniors, implying the beauty of mountains and flowing water, and a broad artistic conception.

Jade Landscape

In addition to the above-mentioned common ornaments, with people's pursuit of personalized aesthetics, the themes and designs of ornaments are becoming more and more diverse. When we give gifts or use them for ourselves, we can look at and compare more and choose the one we like best.
