Why do we say "A country without jade cannot prosper, a family without jade cannot be rich, and a person without jade cannot be noble"? How insightful!

Some people say that people need to wear jade to appear noble; some people say that only by having jade stored in the home can wealth be passed down; some people say that only by having jade can a country prosper? Is it really true that a country cannot prosper without jade, a family cannot be rich without jade, and a person cannot be valuable without jade? Jade is indeed a real and very precious thing, but how can it deserve such high evaluation as “Without jade, there is no prosperity, without jade, there is no wealth, without jade, there is no expensiveness”?

A country cannot prosper without jade

Speaking of a country not prospering without jade, I am reminded of the saying "hide gold in troubled times and hide jade in prosperous times". Gold is recognized as a hard currency in the world, and the word "jade" in "Jade Collection in Prosperous Times" can be narrowly equated with Hetian jade, jadeite and even various diamonds and gemstones.

It can also be broadly understood that the "jade" here refers to all classic, meaningful, appreciative and rare items. In other words, it refers to all items with collection value.

Only those who live in a peaceful and prosperous era, who are well-fed and well-clothed, and have no worries about wind and rain, can have the leisure time to study collections and enjoy the pleasure brought by collecting, so as to meet their spiritual needs.

Looking back at my country's thousands of years of history, every peak in the development of jade culture corresponds to a period of economic and cultural prosperity, such as the Tang and Song dynasties and the Kangxi and Qianlong eras of the Qing Dynasty. A country cannot prosper without jade, and jade deserves the reputation.

A family without jade is not rich, a person without jade is not noble

Regarding wealth, there is an old saying in China that "wealth does not last for more than three generations", but this saying is somewhat one-sided. The full version of this sentence should be "Morality can be passed down for more than ten generations, farming and reading can be passed down for the second best, poetry and books can be passed down for the third best, and wealth can only be passed down for three generations."

Considering the whole, the real meaning of this sentence should actually be that only by inheriting good moral atmosphere can one be rich for three generations. In other words, if one wants to be rich and noble for a long time, one should pass on morality and literature to the family. Jade, especially jadeite, which is imperial jade and gentleman jade, has always been closely related to the word "virtue".

Inheriting the Jade Virtue, Self-discipline and Discipline

There is no doubt that jade is beautiful. Because of its beauty, people like it and endow it with countless wonderful humanistic virtues. These precious humanistic thoughts enhance the value of jade itself from another level.

Today's society is a commercial society. The spirit of contract is gradually replacing the traditional patriarchal concepts, and the character of a gentleman is gradually giving way to the spirit of the rule of law and the spirit of contract. However, what remains unchanged is the character, the human heart, and the beautiful jade that remains warm and clear after thousands of years.

It is gentle, soft and lustrous, always accompanying us like a friend and a teacher, carrying the lingering aura of our ancestors and permeating the spirit of modern people.

No matter how the times change or what the social form is, the beautiful qualities represented by jade will never go out of date and will never change. It teaches us to be kind, honest, courageous, ambitious, and to keep ourselves clean. We should value morality when playing with jade.

So, if you are born in this prosperous era, why not have a piece of beautiful jade and pass down wealth to your family?
