Because of his special identity, he cannot live in the sun, nor can he make girls fall in love with him, let alone get girls to live in the Dragon Palace. But he also hopes to bring good luck and happiness to the girl and to protect her anytime and anywhere. Cherish her. Prince Longgong decided to turn into a piece of jewelry that girls like. So the prince turned into a jasper jade bracelet and appeared on the girl's wrist, crystal clear. The bracelet and the girl were never separated again, and the girl lived a happy life.

The incarnation of the jade stone fairy elf, was also called "Jade Goddess" by people at that time. Legend has it that the Emerald Fairy was born into a family of traditional Chinese medicine in the beautiful Dali, Yunnan, China. She was naturally beautiful, intelligent, virtuous, as pretty as a fairy, and she was also generous to others. By chance, the Burmese prince was attracted and fascinated by her beautiful appearance, so he paid a large sum of money to marry the Jade Fairy.

Ever since the Emerald Fairy married the Burmese prince and became the "Emerald Queen", she has done many good things for the poor working people of Burma, exorcising demons, curing diseases and alleviating their pain, and she also often teaches the poor to sing and dance. And often with the poor people

The king was very angry and furious, so he banished the "Emerald Queen" to the Myitkyina mountain area in northern Myanmar. Became the poorest person. Facing displacement every day. The footsteps of "Emerald Goddess" have covered almost all the mountains and rivers there, and wherever she went, she would provide medical treatment for the poor. Later, the "Emerald Goddess" died of illness in Myitkyina. The local people held a grand funeral for her on the banks of the Ivalodi River, hoping that her soul would ascend to heaven to protect the family. However, in order to benefit the people, she was unwilling to ascend to heaven to enjoy wealth and glory. Instead, her soul merged into the ground and turned into a beautiful crystal stone. She became the Emerald Fairy respected by the world.

According to legend, there was a young man named Yan Chiyu who fled to northern Myanmar to escape famine. He was not used to the local climate and water and contracted malaria. When he was about to die, he was saved by the local tribal leader, the Kachin Mountain Officer. The young man came from outside the mountain and was well-informed, smart and capable, so the leader appreciated him very much. He kept him as his guard - the leader of the red-clothed team. Later, he was led by Green Feather Mountain

The official's daughter Kingfisher took a fancy to him, and the two secretly fell in love and decided to spend their lives together at the Mu Nao Singing Festival. However, in order to compete for the official position, Shan Guan's archenemy shot Yan Chiyu, who was protecting Shan Guan, with a poisoned arrow. In order to protect their lover and their sisters, the kingfisher took the injured Liaoyan Chiyu and escaped, and with the help of the high priest, they transformed into a flying bird and flew out of the enemy's siege. But the good times did not last long. The ill-fated lovers were cast into stone by their enemy, who used magic to turn them into stone and they ended up in the area of ​​present-day Hpakant. Because they were too pure, they all turned into beautiful emeralds. Because Yan Chiyu hugged the kingfisher tightly when he died, the outside of the jadeite raw stone has a red skin, and the inside is emerald green jade.

Rings have a long history in the West. According to legend, the pharaohs of ancient Egypt liked to carry seals representing power with them at all times, but it was troublesome to always hold them in their hands, so a clever servant made a ring so that the seal could be worn on the finger. That was probably in the 32nd century BC. More than 20 centuries later, until the ancient Roman period, officials still wore seal rings engraved with portraits as a symbol of power. Moreover, rings have long been used to confirm marital relationships in the West. In the 8th century BC, the Romans believed that wedding rings should be worn on the ring finger of the left hand because there is a blood vessel on this finger that goes directly to the heart. Regardless of whether these claims are supported by textual research, the married women in the murals of the ancient Roman city of Pompeii already wore rings on their ring fingers. Let's look at a story from the Tang Dynasty. It is said that there was a scholar named Yu You in the Tang Dynasty. He picked up a red leaf that had floated out from the palace wall beside the Imperial River outside the imperial city. There was a poem on the leaf: "Why is the water flowing so fast? The deep palace is idle all day. The diligent red leaves are falling, so that they can go to the human world." Yu You was overjoyed. He also picked up a fallen leaf and replied with two lines of poem: "I have heard of the red complaint on the leaf. To whom is the poem on the leaf sent?" and put it back in the river to float away. Yu You finally married the palace maid who wrote poems, and this story has been passed down through the ages. This red leaf became a token of love between the scholar and the girl. In traditional Chinese culture, young men

The tokens of love between couples are either romantic red leaves and red beans, or portable jade pendants and sachets. Once handed over to the other party, this ordinary item is no longer ordinary. If the sachet contains a strand of cut black hair, it is the most firm vow of a lifetime.

The State of Zhao had a piece of beautiful jade called the Heshi Bi. The State of Qin wanted to obtain it and demanded to exchange it for fifteen cities, otherwise it would send troops to attack the State of Zhao. At that time, the Qin State was very powerful, but the Zhao State did not want the treasure to fall into the hands of others. Fortunately, Lin Xiangru was able to return the jade intact to Zhao. This shows that "jade" is a national treasure and is very valuable. It cannot be exchanged for fifteen cities. This is where the idiom "priceless" comes from. Jade is actually priceless, so there is a saying that gold has a price but jade is priceless.
