Jade is known as the "King of Jade", do you know the story behind it?

Jade has always been a very precious mineral collection in my country. There are many types of jade, including Hetian jade, Lantian jade, serpentine jade, etc. Among them, jadeite has always been considered the "king of jade", but many people only know that jadeite is a "luxury product" among jades, and they don’t know the story behind it. Today, the editor will unveil this mystery for you.

In fact, the name of the king of jade is not derived from the definition of the ancients, but from a poem written by Guo Moruo, a great writer in modern my country: "The King of Jade":

The king of jade is called jadeite, which is radiant and brilliant.

The rich green of spring makes my heart beat, condensing the fragrance of ancient virtues.

It is easy to distinguish between merits and flaws, but it is difficult to distinguish between humans and ghosts.

Through the door, Tao Ran gambles on stones.

In this poem, jadeite is accurately defined as the king of jade. In the first sentence, jadeite is called "king of jade", which contains the essence of brilliance and elegance, and summarizes the whole poem. There are tens of millions of jades in the world, but Guo particularly loves jadeite, which is the only one that can be called the king of jades. With a general grasp, the next three sentences describe jadeite in terms of water, color, and rhyme respectively. The meaning of "Han Yao" is not difficult to understand. It means containing magical brilliance, and "Han Yao Shang Liu Ying" means that the jade is full of water and dazzling.

"Dark green, spring heart beats" obviously refers to the color of jadeite. “It is easy to distinguish between flaws and beauty, but it is difficult to distinguish between humans and ghosts” means that compared with the unpredictable human heart, the flaws and brilliance of jade are still easy to distinguish. “It is easy to distinguish the flaws from the merits, but it is difficult to distinguish between a human and a ghost.” Jade is used here to compare the human heart, and it is also a reminder for everyone to keep their eyes open when purchasing, and not to be fooled by the sweet words and deceptive tricks of unscrupulous sellers. The word "Taoran" in the last sentence "Taoran gambles on the stone" originally means leisure and joy, but it is obviously not suitable here, and should be understood as addiction.

In fact, many people have different opinions on this definition. In fact, it is very difficult to position which one is the first and which one is the second among jades. Everyone should choose according to their own preferences and follow their heart, as long as they like it.
