How much do you know about jade culture?

It is said that "objects have souls". Thousands of jade artifacts contain the charm and soul that the craftsmen have placed on them.

Confucianism advocates treating people with courtesy and respecting elegant behavior, and this culture and aesthetic concept is fully reflected in jade culture.

The design also emphasizes balance. For example, the bracelet has soft lines and few hard edges, which echoes the Chinese people's moderate and peaceful character.

The Culture of Jade

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.

Representing 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 jade and jadeite carvings and artworks.

Jade, after 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.

Represents a quality

Jade has a simple texture, bright colors and subtle stone quality and has always been loved by the Chinese people. Hence the saying that jade has five, nine, or even eleven virtues. But in fact, the Chinese people have extended their associations through long-term observation and experience of the virtues of jade and realized many philosophical principles about the virtues of 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 modern society, jade and jadeite have become a carrier for people to cultivate noble character, good wishes, perfect image, good emotions and sentiments. They also represent human pursuit of qualities such as peace, honesty, elegance and perfection.

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.

Represents wealth

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

Represents a spirit

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

Some people say that jade culture is a gene that flows in the blood and is imprinted in the bones of the Chinese people.

It carries the Chinese civilization for thousands of years and flows with the Chinese nation's spiritual realm of humility, courtesy, perseverance, harmony and order, and profound meaning.
