Why do Chinese people love jade? What is the culture and charm of jade

Due to the epidemic, I have been bored at home recently, so I took out the jadeite I had placed in the refrigerator and wiped it. Suddenly, I remembered a question asked by a netizen, "Why do so many people like jadeite?" I thought about it carefully, and I may have found the answer. I am a little jadeite expert who has been in the industry for more than 10 years. Due to geographical reasons, I have been exposed to jadeite at a very young age. Perhaps the answer must be learned from history. I have read a series of related knowledge and wrote such an article!

China has a 5,000-year-old jade culture, and jadeite is the best among all jades. Jadeite has rich colors and a glass-like luster. After being polished by craftsmen, it becomes exquisite jewelry and can be worn on the body. No matter whether you are a man or a woman, old or young, you can find jadeite jewelry that suits you. It is also a symbol of status. And our historical heritage allows jade to continue the "Chinese jade culture"!


I found four relatively convincing pieces of evidence.


1. In ancient times, jade was a symbol of status and power. Jade was once deified. People believed that jade had magical powers and those who owned jade were extremely noble. Gradually, only kings and nobles could own jade.


2. Jadeite was introduced to my country since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was deeply loved by Empress Dowager Cixi, and it also contributed to the popularity of jadeite, which became part of China's jade culture. Soong Mei-ling of the Republic of China was also a jadeite lover who often wore jadeite jewelry, which led to the aristocrats and wealthy ladies of the time following suit. Jadeite also began to enter the homes of ordinary people.


3. Jade has rich colors and beautiful texture. Combined with "Chinese culture", jade can be carved into meaningful works. It is no longer just a piece of jewelry, but also a reflection of Chinese jade culture. The collision with Western culture has led to a series of combinations of jade with diamonds, gold, etc., making jade more fashionable and youthful!


4. I believe everyone has heard that jade is spiritual and can ward off evil spirits, but it is mainly best to wear natural jade. It not only has a good decorative effect, but is also a very good amulet. Long-term wearing can enhance one's own energy magnetic field, increase the sense of closeness to jade, and thus bring more good luck.


Jade itself is an extremely charming stone. With the design and creation of the sculptor, jade is transformed into a more perfect stone. Isn't life the same? Only by experiencing and polishing yourself, and constantly making yourself more perfect, can you finally shine brightly. Jade products come from life but are above life. When we see a piece of jade jewelry, we are moved by it because of the inner beauty of jade, which is the spirituality of jade.


This may be the reason why we like jade. We are also products of nature and have a certain resonance with natural jade. We like it because we understand it.
