From the Heshi Bi to the “jade everywhere” today, what is the real function of jade?

In today's luxury goods market, I think the most valuable thing is jade. It is not only beautiful, but also brings us profound cultural heritage and heritage. Moreover, wearing jade plays a very important role in people's health. Chinese jade has a long history. It is recorded in "Shennong's Herbal Medicine" and "Compendium of Materia Medica" that jade can "clear away heat and relieve summer heat, moisturize the throat, nourish hair, nourish internal organs, promote blood circulation, soothe the mind, and improve eyesight" and many other functions.

The first is the aspects mentioned in the Compendium of Materia Medica that are beneficial to health.

Jade contains trace elements that are beneficial to the human body, such as zinc, magnesium, copper, selenium, chromium, manganese and cobalt. These trace elements will gradually enter the human body during long-term wearing and help coordinate and balance the physiological functions of various organs in the human body. In a sense, jade can be considered a kind of health care product. Moreover, jade is a kind of mineral. Wearing it for a long time can also help enhance physical fitness and prevent diseases.

Next, let's talk about the effect of cooling down.

Historical records show that during the Tang Dynasty, Yang Guifei felt very uncomfortable every summer. Ice was in short supply and the summer was too hot. To this end, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang took a different approach. A small piece of jade fish was placed in Yang Guifei's mouth to relieve heat and summer heat. From then on, Yang Guifei never felt the scorching heat of summer again, and lived every summer very coolly. Not only that, jade pillows, jade mats, jade beds, jade pendants, etc. have all become good summer cooling products for wealthy families.

Jade can also calm the mind.

The beauty of jade lies in virtue and spirituality. Wearing jade daily, playing with it or quietly looking at it can calm people and quiet their minds and thoughts. Keeping jade in mind will make people stop pursuing fame and fortune and live a peaceful and far-sighted life.

Besides, it is to show a person's taste and status.

From ancient times to the present, jade and jadeite have always been pursued by literati and poets. In "Preface to Sending Off Ma Sheng from Dongyang", it was also said that "wearing a hat with red tassels and jewels, and a white jade ring around the waist" is the standard configuration of wealthy families. The legend of the Heshi Bi is even more widely circulated, and emperors of every dynasty also had jade seals.

Finally, it is the inheritance of jade

In ancient times, when a daughter got married, the mother would always find a jade bracelet at the bottom of the box as a dowry for her daughter. When the daughter becomes a mother and is to be married off, the jade bracelet is passed on to the bride. Jade is not only a family heritage passed down from generation to generation, but also a heritage of spiritual civilization.
