The long-term accumulation of jade culture has created a variety of jade styles. Jade is crystal clear and lustrous, its appearance is delicate and gentle, but its essence is both hard and soft, which coincides with the moral realm pursued by a gentleman. People combine jade's hard texture, crystal luster, warm water head, changing colors and carveable properties with the gentleman's five virtues of benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage and purity, so jade has a high humanistic value. Jade is not only carved into unique shapes and appearances, but also given various auspicious and rich meanings. Among them, the jadeite lucky melon is also one of the most popular styles. Jade lucky melon is also a common theme in jade jewelry, and the name comes from an edible fruit. Because of its round and full shape and melon-like appearance, people call it the Emerald Lucky Melon. However, the Emerald Fu Melon is not actually a “melon”. "Fugua" is homophonic to "Fugua", so the real meaning of jadeite Fugua is to hang good fortune on your body. Chinese people highly value the concept of good fortune. They believe that if you have good fortune, you can have everything. Therefore, wearing a jade blessing melon on your body is a good omen of happiness and good luck. Jade lucky melons also have different shapes and their symbolic meanings are also different. By carving different shapes and combining them with the meaning of the melon, the finished product will be more perfect. Carving the lucky melon into a winter melon means "as blessed as the East Sea"; carving it into a pumpkin means "as long as the Southern Mountains". The lucky melon is often paired with the ruyi, with the "fu" in the fu hanging meaning happiness and good fortune.
