We talk about jade culture every day, but do you know what jade culture is?

People who play with jade often talk about China's jade culture, which is an important part of our country's traditional culture.

Jadeite, as the king of jade, must be based on jade culture. So, do you know what jadeite culture is?

In fact, jade culture has never been a single individual, but a fusion of our country's four traditional cultures.

1. Gentleman Culture

"A modest gentleman is as gentle as jade"

The ancients emphasized the Confucian doctrine of the mean and valued harmony. The word "harmony" also interprets the values ​​of the Chinese people for thousands of years.

When the family is harmonious, all things prosper; when the country is harmonious, the country is peaceful and the people are safe.

Under such cultural influence, gentleman culture came into being. The ancients admired "gentlemen". Gentlemen are like jade and gentlemen wear jade. The warm and transparent characteristics of jadeite are consistent with these spiritual pursuits.

2. Buddhist Culture

In fact, this can be seen from the more common jade carving themes. Buddha, Guanyin, etc. are the most popular jade carvings. The saying that "men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha" is also influenced by Buddhist culture.

Buddhism was introduced into my country during the Han Dynasty and had a great influence on our traditional culture.

This influence still exists to this day.

Even if you are not a devout Buddhist, many Buddhist teachings still influence many people.

In addition, the origin of jade is a Buddhist country where Buddhism is prevalent, so the artistic conception of Buddhist culture is added to jade carvings, which also creates the Buddhist culture of jade.

3. Peaceful Culture

The importance that we Chinese place on family and kinship is unmatched by any other country in the world today.

The most common wish of any family is peace, wealth, happiness and contentment. Therefore, many themes of jade carvings imply peace and smoothness, such as jade peace buckles, peace plaques, peace circles, etc.

Whether ordinary people or dignitaries, peace has been the greatest wish of us Chinese for thousands of years. The culture of peace runs through the entire jade culture and is an important part of jade culture.

4. Health Culture

In addition to safety, another major pursuit of ours is health and longevity.

Our country's traditional Chinese medicine culture pursues the goal of curing diseases and maintaining health.

The description of jade in ancient medical techniques is "jade is the most beautiful stone, sweet in taste, mild in nature and non-toxic."

The ancients firmly believed that jade can not only be used as a decoration, but also has the health-promoting effect of strengthening the physical body.

Emperors and concubines of every dynasty could not do without jade in their health preservation.

Moreover, today's jade, after scientific identification, does have certain health benefits. Wearing it for a long time is beneficial to the body and mind.
