Since ancient times, people have regarded jade as auspicious, evil spirits and diseases, luck and happiness; It is also a symbol of identity and wealth; There is a legend in ancient times that wearing jade can turn disasters into blessings and break jade to eliminate disasters.

This is "a gentleman is better than jade".
3. The cultural origin of jade The color of jade is naturally changeable, bright and pleasing to the eye, which is very harmonious with nature and represents the vitality and youthful vitality of all things. The color of jadeite is brighter than any jade in the past, the texture is more delicate than any jade, it can be as transparent as crystal, and its value is the highest among all jadeites. Therefore, people call it "the king of jade", and it is deeply loved by the eastern nations, especially the Chinese nation.
The cultural origin of jadeite is a beautiful legend. Legend has it that/kloc-At the beginning of the 3rd century, a salt merchant in Yunnan accidentally brought a stone back to China from Myanmar, and the glittering and translucent green stone suddenly conquered the China people who loved jade. Since then, jade has forged an indissoluble bond with China. Speaking of the origin of "Emerald", there used to be a saying that there was a bird in Yunnan in ancient China. The male of this bird is bright red, called flying bird, and the female is bright green, called bluebird. Jade bird is a very beautiful pet. Its feathers are very beautiful and can be used as jewelry. In the Qing Dynasty, the feathers of jade birds entered the court as ornaments, especially the green ones, so the jade was deeply loved by concubines in the harem. Because the jadeite produced in nature is mostly green and red, the word "jadeite" has gradually changed from bird to jade, hence the name jadeite.
5. The cultural origin of jadeite There is another saying about the origin of jadeite. In the early Qing Dynasty, jadeite was transported from Myanmar to China through the "Second Silk Road". Hetian jade produced in China at that time was called Emerald. In order to distinguish it, it is called non-jadeite. With the passage of time, Cui Fei has become an emerald.
6. The cultural origin of jade has been very popular since ancient times. China is known as the "Jade Kingdom", and jade has been with the Chinese nation for at least 7000 years. After Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, the kings of Myanmar often presented jade ornaments as tributes to Emperor China, and the famous "Jade Road" in history was expanded. After Kangxi, due to Emperor Qianlong's special interest in jade, a large number of jadeites entered the royal family and the country, and the jade industry flourished rapidly. Emerald gradually became popular in China's upper class, and was valued by the ruling class. Especially in the late Qing Dynasty, jade was especially favored by Empress Dowager Cixi, and its value suddenly rose, making it the best of jade. In the Qing Dynasty, especially in the late Qing Dynasty, jadeite has surpassed white jade and other jades in China jade culture and trade, and is called "the king of jade".
7. The cultural origin of jadeite Empress Dowager Cixi admired jadeite. She has many royal jade ornaments, and even called the treasures of jade "royal jade". She didn't think she had enough fun before she died. Among the funerary objects after her death, there are treasures such as watermelons, peaches, lotus leaves and cabbages made of high-quality jadeite, and 27 jade buddhas also accompany her to sleep underground.
8. The cultural origin of jadeite Song Meiling is also a lover of jadeite, and her love for jadeite is no less than that of Cixi. These two "female heroes" in the history of China have greatly promoted the development of jade and jade culture in China.
9. The cultural origin of jadeite did not reach18th century. With the progress of science and technology, jadeite has really entered Yunnan, China. Although the introduction and application of jadeite is only 300~400 years, its short and brilliant history is enough to make other jadeites envy, and together with other jadeites, it constitutes the jade culture with a long history of the Chinese nation.
