Man takes care of jade for three years, and jade takes care of man for a lifetime. Only if we take the time to play with and understand the connotation of jade, can we truly appreciate the true beauty of jade while nurturing it. On the one hand, we can improve the gloss and transparency of jade by playing with it, making it more beautiful and spiritual; on the other hand, the process of touching jade can bring physical and mental health to people and educate their lives.

How has jade culture been passed down throughout the long history of Chinese civilization? We know that the unique jade culture is like a beautiful exotic flower. It has been continuing along with the generation of social material and spiritual wealth, and has been thriving for thousands of years.

The resulting love for the beauty and virtue of jade has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the Chinese people.

In today's prosperous times, the trend of appreciating, loving and collecting jade is even more popular. So how was jade culture passed down throughout the long history of Chinese civilization? Let us now explore the trajectory of history.

There is an old saying: "Jewelry flourishes in times of peace and prosperity." In today's peaceful, stable and prosperous times, people's pursuit of jade is becoming increasingly intense, and jade's unique cultural soul is gradually seeping into people's hearts. This is jade, a cultural treasure with unique international characteristics.

The cultural soul of jade is the result of thousands of years of unique cultural accumulation, and it is also a quality most appreciated by the Chinese.

Hundreds of years ago, this rare treasure was hidden deep in the mountains of Myanmar. It was then introduced to China and later loved by some emperors, concubines, and generals. A small piece of jade was already priceless, becoming the king of many jades.

This is not only the highest reward for nature's masterpiece, but also a praise for the distinctive national characteristics and profound cultural soul of Chinese jade.

There are two types of jadeite popularization in the Qing Dynasty: one is the spread of jadeite among the people; the other is the relationship between jadeite and the inner court. During the Qing Dynasty, jadeite spread northward. Some officials of the Qing Dynasty used a large amount of jadeite as tribute to the court, such as inlays on headbands, hats, court beads, seals and other physical objects; jade ruyi; bonsai, jars, Guanyin and other jade articles.

For example, the "Four Treasures of Jade" are known as the treasures of art; the four treasures are "A Gathering of Flowers", "Joy from All Over the World", "Wonder of Mount Tai" and "Fragrant Flowers". These four jade masterpieces each have their own beauty, with various qualities and colors, rich and varied shapes, strange and wonderful carving methods, and outstanding style, which are breathtaking.
