The jade world not only has a wide variety of colors and types, but the most distinctive feature is the different shapes! Among these there are four categories of images with profound meanings. Of course, they are not only rich in connotation but also very beautiful. They can be said to be the four major faces of the jade industry... Today, let’s take a look at their true appearance! First facade: Phoenix The phoenix, the "king of birds", is also the most famous auspicious bird in ancient China. The prototype of the rooster in the Chinese zodiac is the phoenix. It also has the characteristic of being reborn from fire, just like the Western phoenix, so it is also called the fire phoenix. For thousands of years, the phoenix has been regarded as a symbol of beauty, auspiciousness, kindness, tranquility, virtue, nature, following the will of heaven, advocating humanity, bringing peace and light in the hearts of the Chinese people. It is often used to describe the love between husband and wife or to wish people a happy marriage. Its singing and demeanor are that of the king of birds, and it can bring good luck to the world. Second facade: Qilin As early as the Zhou Dynasty, there were legends about the Qilin in my country. According to the legend, the Qilin has a gentle personality, does not step on insects, does not break grass, has horns on its head with flesh on them, and is a virtuous and benevolent animal with a very upright image. Therefore, emperors of all dynasties loved the unicorn and regarded its appearance as a good omen for the country, to demonstrate their imperial power and to show their clarity and wisdom. The third facade: turtle The Chinese have always believed that the turtle hides the secrets of heaven and earth, so it has become a mysterious animal with rich cultural connotations. At the same time, because turtles have extremely long lifespans, they have become a symbol of longevity. People often use "turtle age" to describe a person's longevity or combine it with "crane age" to call it "turtle age and crane age" or "turtle and crane equal age." Since ancient times, people have believed that it can bring auspiciousness, improve luck and wealth, and use jade turtles to protect the house, bringing peace, good fortune and wealth. Fourth facade: Dragon The dragon has been the totem of the Chinese nation since ancient times, symbolizing the throne of the emperor. As the finale and representative of our Chinese nation, there is no need to say much about the dragon's appearance! In folk culture, the dragon is a metaphor for men. It has now become the most noble mascot in the minds of Chinese people, and is a symbol of power, strength, excellence, and wealth. The word "dragon" is homophonic to "long", which means prosperous business and huge wealth. They can bring good luck and are beautiful. Are you sure you don’t like them?
