Is your jade "alive" or "dead"?

We all know that animals and plants have life and death, but did you know that jade also has “life and death”? What exactly does the life and death of jade mean?

In fact, the life or death of jade refers to whether it is "dead jade" or "living jade". Why is there such a distinction? Let’s take a look next!

What is "Dead Jade"

"Dead jade" generally refers to jade that appears to have poor texture and looks lifeless overall, without any spiritual energy. Jade that has been buried in the soil will turn black and dry over time, and can easily be mistaken for mercury infiltration. In addition, B-grade and C-grade jadeite are also considered dead jade.

It is said that jade will become more translucent the more you wear it, and its surface will become delicate and smooth if you play with it for a long time. However, "dead jade" will not change no matter how you nourish it or play with it. The reason for this is that the texture structure of "dead jade" is already very stable and is unlikely to be changed by external forces.

What is "Living Jade"

As far as the jade itself is concerned, all "live jade" must be A-grade. As we all know, jade has color roots. The so-called living jade means that the color roots will slowly move away after being worn for a period of time. At first glance, you may only find that its brightness has increased and it is more transparent. If you look closely, you will find that the movement of the color roots inside has caused the color to change, just like the jade is still alive and will get better with human nourishment.

Jadeite living jade can nourish people

After A-grade jade is played with, the jade will slowly absorb the oil from the human body and its surface will become more lustrous. The trace elements in the jade that have health-care effects on the human body will also slowly be absorbed by the human body. On the one hand, the surface of the jade will become glossy and shiny, and on the other hand, the human body will also be nourished. This process is a process of interaction between jade and humans. But if it is dead jade, the quality will not improve no matter how you polish it.

Living Jade Can Nourish People

As the saying goes, "People nourish jade and jade nourishes people." There is no need for me to say much about the health-preserving effects of A-grade jade. I believe everyone knows that jade not only contains trace elements needed by the human body, but also when jade is worn for a long time, the friction between jade and the human body is like a massage, which has certain health-care effects. However, if it is dead jade, such as B-grade or C-grade jade, it not only cannot nourish people, but may also harm the body.

Dead jade can ward off evil spirits

Traditional culture believes that "dead jade" can calm the soul and ward off evil spirits. It is often used to carve mythical beasts such as Pixiu and Qilin to ward off evil spirits. In Taoism, dead jade is a tool used by Taoist priests to exorcise evil spirits and seal up grievances.

How to distinguish between "dead jade" and "live jade"

In fact, apart from the health-preserving and evil-repelling effects of jade, the difference between living jade and dead jade is the difference between good quality A-grade jade and poor quality jade, as well as between B-grade jade and C-grade jade. In this way, is it easier to distinguish between living jade and dead jade?

Live jade : Jade with good quality, sufficient water and high transparency looks warm and spiritual. This is the "live" jade.

Dead jade : Jade with dry water quality, poor transparency and glossiness appears dull and lacks movement under the light. This is "dead" jade. Another thing to note is that some B-grade and C-grade jadeite may appear to have good color and gloss on the surface, but in fact problems will be discovered after wearing them for a long time, so you must identify them carefully.
