You talk to me about jade, and I talk to you about culture!

Since ancient times, scholars and sages have been keen on embodying the soul of Chinese civilization and the essence of traditional culture into physical objects. This approach is often referred to as "using objects to convey the truth and using art to convey ideas." Jade culture is one of them. It can be said that jade culture is a very dazzling component of the treasure house of Chinese traditional culture.

In fact, jade is a carrier of cultural communication, and it perfectly interprets many classics. When talking about jade culture, we have to focus on jadeite culture. Jadeite, a treasure from the East, was praised by Emperor Qianlong as the jade of the emperor, which shows how high its status is. In this case, I will elaborate on the jade culture in my eyes:

Jade is gorgeous and natural.

Jade is alluringly green, fiery red, and yellow like light. In the infinite changes of red, yellow, white, green, and black, it gives people infinite vitality. This is the color of nature, this is the vitality of life, and it seems that infinite hope is right in front of us. This characteristic also makes jade more and more popular among people.

Jade is warm and smooth, it is the way to live in the world

The warm and smooth characteristics of jade, to a certain extent, perfectly fit the Confucian idea of ​​moderation and non-contention, so Confucian scholars have given it unique connotations through the study of rituals. A gentleman loves jade, compares virtue to jade, and never leaves it without it. Jade is the materialization of noble spirit and the crystallization of beautiful qualities.

Jade is rare and precious, and is a priceless treasure

Jewelry has a price, but jade has infinite value and profound meaning. As the saying goes, people love jade, and jade nourishes people. Jade, in the hand, is a treasure; in the heart, it is the soul. Throughout the ages, countless dignitaries, princes and nobles have regarded it as a manifestation of their status and a symbol of power.

Jade is immortal and has a very high collection value. Many wealthy businessmen are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it out as a collection and commemoration. Taoists believed that jade could communicate with spirits and ward off evil spirits, so many emperors and generals were buried with large amounts of jade after their death.

Jade is crystal clear and pleasing to the eye, and is a good ornament.

It can be worn by men, women, young and old. When a man wears it, he looks like a modest gentleman; when a woman wears it, she looks graceful and elegant; when an old man wears it, he brings good luck and fortune; when a young person wears it, he brings peace and good fortune. Skilled craftsmen use jade as the material, carve it meticulously, and engrave words and draw pictures. The picture must have a meaning, and the meaning must be auspicious. Such as: Jade Buddha, Ruyi, Pixiu and other various works of art, which are beautiful and breathtaking.

Whether extremely simple or magnificent and exquisite, every stroke is a blessing and every place is a wish. These texts, pictures, and craftsmanship are all powerful testimonies of traditional culture.

After the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, the status of jadeite continued to rise, and the cultural value it attached to brought jade culture to a new peak. With the growing strength of China and the widespread dissemination of Chinese culture, the economic value of jade will surely rise steadily.

With its unique charm and appeal, jade has become the hope of the Chinese dream and the embodiment of Chinese sentiment. There is no doubt that in the near future, jade culture will burst out with even more powerful vitality. The vigorous development of jade culture, including jadeite culture, will surely set off a whirlwind of enthusiasm for traditional Chinese culture around the world.
