The Chinese jade culture has a long history. In the long history of Chinese jade culture, the most dazzling is the white jade culture and the jade culture! Baiyu culture is the essence of Chinese jade culture, and it promotes the jade culture morality of white. In "Said Wen Jie Zi", it is mentioned that jade has five virtues: "benevolence", "righteousness", "intelligence", "yong" and "cleanness". The ancients' reputation for white jade is also used in the praise of women's words, such as Bingqing Yujie, ice muscle jade bones, body-like jade, flower-bearing jade appearance, fairy-faced jade appearance, flower-like jade, slim fiber jade hand, Tingting Yuli and many more. Chinese culture is profound and profound, and the development and understanding of jade has made me understand a lot about the history of jade.

Baiyu culture has been circulating in China for at least several thousand years, and the jadeite as the jade culture appeared only in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Modern people have a limited understanding of jade knowledge, and the discovery of Burmese jade has different opinions. The British Braun thinks that it was discovered by the Chinese Yunnan coward in the 13th century. There are also Westerners who further clarify that the name of the emerald was related to the discovery of the jade at that time. He believed that the Chinese coward was on his way back from the Southwest Silk Road in Wulongjiang. Picking up the stone to balance the body, the result is that when it is back to Tengchong, it is found that it is different from China's Xinjiang jade, and it is called "Nu Cui" stone. According to the research of Mr. Zhang Zhubang (1995), the time of discovery of Burmese jade is up to 500 years ago during the Ming Dynasty. In the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the locals of the jade production area were still in the tribal period of slash and burn, and it was impossible to use jade as a treasure. After the Three Rivers in the Ming Dynasty, the Han people flooded into the Gaoligong Mountains and the west, bringing a lot of jade culture knowledge, which enabled the discovery of jade to have an economic and cultural foundation. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, jade was used as a craft. And the decoration, the quality appraisal, processing, and price system have gradually matured; in the Qing Dynasty, with the adoration of the emperor and the people of Limin to the emerald, the jade became a precious jade treasure, its preciousness It is almost better than the Xinjiang Hetian Baiyu, which has been passed down to the world, and has become a treasure of the world. In his book "Jade History", Mr. Niu Bingtie believes that "there was jade in the Zhou Dynasty and jade in the Han Dynasty, but it was rare rare treasure until the end of the Ming Dynasty..." Jade products are popular in China, and it is the Qing Dynasty. The argument is more logical.
It can be said that before the Qing Dynasty, the jade culture of China mainly spread the white jade culture morality of white. However, since the Qing Dynasty, people have been inheriting the traditional concept of white jade culture, while the green and beautiful Cuiyu fashion culture concept has gradually become popular. Green as a new wave and fashion has gradually been recognized by people, wearing jade called the emperor Baiguan and even the people of Limin, and even the preference for green jade can far exceed the white jade. A green jade bracelet can reach millions or even tens of millions of dollars, which is far beyond the reach of white jade. Why did the Chinese jade culture, which inherited the concept of white jade culture for thousands of years, changed rapidly with the emergence of jade in the short period of more than 200 years? Moreover, the speed of change far exceeds the written changes, which makes people unexpectedly analyze one of the reasons for the change. The author believes that this has a close relationship with the characteristics of jade itself and the social background of jade.
First, the nature of jade is very different from white jade
1. Jade has a bright luster. Jadeite is one of the rare jade varieties that show glass luster in the jade species. The surface is smooth and bright, which is very eye-catching. The white jade is greased, the surface is lustrous, and it is not as sharp and eye-catching as jade.
2. The green of jade is the embodiment of life. The most attractive thing about jade is its greenish green. The emerald green is mainly caused by the chrome in the jadeite minerals that make up the jade. The green is bright and bright, like the buds of the trees. It is a kind of green. The embodiment of life, white jade also has green, called jasper, but mainly caused by the iron elements contained in it, the green color is deep, gray, dark.
2. The worship of the willow tree by the shamanic culture reflects the desire of the northern people for green and the pursuit of life.
Shaman culture is one of the cores in the northern national culture. There are three primitive worships in the Shaman culture: one is the worship of the eagle. The eagle flies high on the grassland, looks far, and can fight against the storm, and fly high, is a symbol of heroes. The second is the worship of polar bears. The polar bears grow extremely badly. They also come out for food in the cold winter. They fight against nature and reflect the spirit of fighting hard to fight hard and the indomitable spirit. The third is the worship of willow branches. Although there is no rhizome in the willow branches, as long as it is buried in the soil, it can take root and germinate, showing a strong vitality; and the green sprouts from the willow branches also reflect the beginning and recovery of life, which is the desire and pursuit of life. The embodiment (Figure 4). The north is snowy in the winter, everything is silent, and life is still stopped. Only in the spring, everything recovers, the grass on the grassland re-emerges, the earth appears green, and life begins again. People can go out and carry out animal husbandry and labor. Therefore, the northern people regard the emergence of green as a symbol of life recovery and are more eager for green. The worship of willows in the Shaman culture also fully confirms the northern people's desire for green and the pursuit of life. The bright green color of the jadeite is like the buds of the willow branches. It is the embodiment of green life, which coincides with the desire of the northern people for green.
Therefore, the desire of the shaman culture for green can be said to be one of the cultural foundations that the jade culture can spread rapidly during the Qing Dynasty.
3. The personal worship of traditional Chinese culture promotes the development of Cuiyu's cultural concept
The Qing emperor was influenced by the shamanic culture, and the desire for greenness led to a special preference for jade. In particular, the Empress Dowager Cixi's love for jade has reached a level of madness. In the Changchun Palace where she lives, there are all kinds of jade jade articles. The tea is made of jadeite bowls, and the jade chopsticks are used for meals. The emerald scorpion is inserted, and the jade ring is worn on the finger. In the folks, there is also a story of a pair of emerald watermelon hand pieces and a jade cabbage decoration that the Empress Dowager Cixi loved, and the jade cabbage is still in the Palace Museum in Taiwan. It is precisely because of the cherished emperor of the emperor and the officials of the Qing Dynasty that the Qing Dynasty imperial court and the Daguan dignitaries will inevitably lead to the pursuit and preference of the emeralds in the whole dynasty, which quickly pushed up the popularity and preciousness of the jade, making jade as the jade culture. One of the typical representatives is presented in the world, and its preciousness is even higher than that of white jade.
It can be seen that the reason why the concept of Cuiyu culture has developed rapidly since the Qing Dynasty is inseparable from the superior nature of Jade itself and the social and cultural background of the Qing Dynasty. The bright glass luster of jade itself, which symbolizes the bright green of life and hope, and the high quality of uniform texture, has laid a good material foundation for the establishment of the jade culture in essence; the worship of willow trees in the northern nationality is reflected in the worship of the willow tree. The desire for green and the pursuit of life have established the cultural foundation for the development of the jade culture.
Therefore, the combination of many of the above factors has led to the rapid and extensive development and popularization of the jade culture concept since the Qing Dynasty, so that the change in concept far exceeds the change of words, creating the traditional Chinese jade culture. The situation of the white jade culture morality and the jade culture fashion concept are also the mainstream of the Chinese jade culture.
Emerald is the treasure of the East, the stone from heaven. From the moment when a large number of Chinese emperors in the Qing Dynasty in Myanmar were in hand, they were destined to be not ordinary gems. In Japan, jadeite is the sacred object of Shintoism; the emperor of the Qing Dynasty in China regarded jade as a gem. In the early days of the Republic of China, a good jade in Shanghai was more valuable than a big house. In recent years, the price of jade has been soaring, and the real "crazy stone" has been interpreted. The Q value of jadeite is from 28W in 1988 to 36W in 1990, 75W in 2000, 110W in 2006, 128W in 2009, and 150W in 2011.
