When did jade first appear? How many years of history does jade have?

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.

Jade culture is widely spread in China and involves almost everyone. When we walk in the streets, we can see that nearly half of ten people are wearing jade. This shows that jade culture has taken root in the hearts of the Chinese people, and its influence is self-evident.

So, do you know when jade first appeared and how long is the history of jade?

The design style and carving craftsmanship of jade have been developing rapidly since the middle and late Qing Dynasty. With carving techniques represented by relief and the simple style of jade at that time, people have gradually felt the charm of this stone.

With the cultural exchanges between China and other countries, jade culture has been taken to a higher level, slowly evolving from a simple style to a complex carving style. The more complex the carving, the more it demonstrates not only the level of carving, but also the sculptor's imaginative thinking. Expressing themselves on jade has also become a kind of pleasure for them.

Next, let’s take a look at when jade first appeared and how long its history has been.

Mr. Niu Bingyue wrote in "History of Jade" that "jade existed in the Zhou Dynasty and in the Han Dynasty. But it was still a rare treasure until the end of the Ming Dynasty. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that jade products became popular in my country."

Through the analysis of this authoritative historian, we can determine that jade has a long history and that jade entered China around the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

At that time, the Burmese government set up a professional department to mine jade, and presented the best jade to the king, while the medium and low-quality jade was sold to Yunnan, which is close to Myanmar.

It was also because of the prosperity of the capital at that time that many merchants wanted to sell their jade to the people there at a good price. Over time, it was introduced into the palace. Starting from the emperor's liking for jadeite, it became unstoppable.

Batches of jadeite were transported to the capital. In addition, the capital was a place full of dignitaries, and these wealthy people had a competitive mentality. Jadeite pendants were a standard item for every official. The natural temperament and nobility of jadeite perfectly matched their needs. Since then, the development of the jadeite industry has officially been on track.

After a long period of development, it was not until the 1970s that the design of jade gradually showed its individuality and sophistication. It not only retained the traditional atmosphere of jade, but also injected some more trendy carving ideas, making the whole piece of jade come alive.

As more and more raw stones are mined, people's perception of the color of jade is no longer just green, and they can even put together a color palette; of course, glass type is no longer the first choice, and old pit type, bean type, etc. are also gradually being sought after by people.

If you want to trace the development of jadeite back to its earliest form, it is actually very simple. It is a magical and charming stone that was discovered by people. With its extremely high rarity, it became a priceless jadeite. It is that simple.

So, if you like jade, it is a priceless treasure; if you don’t like jade, it is just a piece of stone in your eyes.
