The mysterious jade culture has been passed down through the ages!

"Jade" is one of the most important components of Chinese traditional culture. China is known as the "Kingdom of Jade". The jade culture, with jade as the carrier, has deeply influenced the thoughts and ideas of generations of Chinese people. In the jade family, jadeite is the most famous type. Although it has a short history of only a few hundred years, its brilliant achievements are enough to make other jades envy.

As early as in ancient times, Eastern sages compared the virtues of a gentleman to jade. Whether it was the brave and heroic Sui and Tang dynasties, or the gentle and elegant Yuan and Song dynasties, jade has always been a treasure in the hands of the royal dignitaries. Since jadeite entered the Central Plains, it has become the royal treasure of the Ming and Qing dynasties with its five virtues of jade and rich colors of "red jade is called jadeite, and deep green is called emerald", thus laying the foundation for the maturity of jadeite culture.

Jade, which contains the spiritual elegance of mysterious oriental culture, is known as the "Oriental Emerald" and is regarded as the most precious gem. Jade has become the representative jewelry of Eastern civilization. As time goes by to the 21st century, jade is still an expensive luxury item.

China has integrated the relationship between jade and people since ancient times. Jade has been endowed with many traditional spirits and connotations. It is also regarded as a carrier of China's thousands of years of cultural heritage and a symbol of classical charm, which has lasted for thousands of years. Next, Xiaonan will talk to you about the six representatives of the cultural connotation of jade!

1. Represents a culture.

China is one of the four ancient civilizations in the world, with a history of more than 5,000 years. Its jade culture has been continuously enriched in the course of historical development. As a representative of jade culture, jadeite fully reflects China's rich cultural connotations and the profoundness of Chinese civilization in terms of jewelry and jade.

2. Represents an art.

Throughout the long course of history, the Chinese people have been driven to reflect their ideals and emotions on jadeite, which has led to the creation of jadeite carvings and artworks. Jade, through hundreds of years of development, has reached the highest level of perfection and beauty. Although jade art is a commodity, as a work of art, it has its own pursuit and realm.

3. Represents a quality.

Jade has a simple texture, bright colors, and subtle stone quality, and has always been loved by the Chinese people. This is why there is a saying that jade has five, nine, or even eleven virtues. But in fact, the Chinese people have extended their associations through their long-term observation and experience of jade, and realized many philosophical truths about life. The quality of jade is the spiritual pillar of people and the material embodiment of traditional virtues, which is why jade jewelry has lasted for a long time. In today's developing society, jade and jadeite have become a carrier for people to cultivate noble character, good wishes, perfect image, good emotions and sentiments. They also express human pursuit of qualities such as peace, honesty, elegance and perfection.

4. Represents a kind of beauty.

The beauty of jadeite combines all kinds of beauty that jade has expressed since ancient times, such as material beauty, personified spiritual beauty (a gentleman compares himself to jade), virtue, benevolence, wisdom, justice, humility, harmony, loyalty and sincerity. Jadeite also emphasizes the beauty of color, shape, material, implicit beauty, mysterious beauty and rare beauty. The life-like green color of jade is also a material form. The core of people's appreciation of beauty is the pursuit of a spiritual quality. There are beautiful jades all over the world, but the temperament and charm of jadeite artworks are unique to my country, and have created tremendous spiritual and material wealth for us.

5. Represents wealth.

At present, more and more people are beginning to regard owning jade artworks and other collectibles as a symbol of success, and they get great spiritual satisfaction from it. Jade has the value of symbolizing identity, status and image. Jade artworks are sold at world-class auction houses, with jade bracelets costing tens of millions of yuan a pair and jade rings costing millions of yuan each, becoming hot items among many people.

6. Represents a spirit.

The green of jade is the main color of nature. People like jade not because of desire, but because of a spiritual sentiment, because jade carries the natural spirit of the Chinese nation - the spiritual wealth of overcoming difficulties and moving forward courageously.
