Ancient records

The story of jade warding off disasters has existed since ancient times. Chen Yuanxin, the author of "Jade Records", said: "One year, while visiting Qingchuan Pavilion, he fell from the third floor. Fortunately, he was wearing Taigong Huang and survived."

Liu Datong, a jade collector in the Qing Dynasty, has a section in his book "Identification of Ancient Jade" specifically talking about "Observations on the Use of Ancient Jade to Prevent Disasters", which records stories of jade helping people ward off disasters.

According to the "Ancient Jade Identification", a bricklayer named Hu found a jade pendant in the river and used it as a pendant for a tobacco pouch.

Later, when he was building a house for someone, he suddenly slipped and fell to the ground when he was putting up the beam. When he got up, he found that he was not hurt at all, but the jade pendant on his waist was broken into pieces.

The legend is waiting

Not only the ancients, but modern people also often encounter such experiences. Some people have recorded their experiences of plane crashes on the Internet.

This netizen happened to be wearing a jade pendant when he encountered the plane crash. When the plane was about to crash, he jumped out from the broken fuselage in desperation. Although he was seriously injured, at least he saved his life.

Although the saying that "jade can ward off disasters" has no scientific basis, these stories have given jade more auspicious meanings.

Chinese people have a very long history of liking jade. With the continuous development of jade culture, most jade ornaments have been endowed with auspicious and beautiful meanings.

Chinese people like to wear jade as amulets to ensure safety, and Westerners wear crosses to ensure safety.
