The value of ancient jade collection is first of all the raw materials for making jade, that is, jade itself is a kind of gem, so it has its own value, which is also the difference between jade and calligraphy, bronzes, ceramics and other antiques. The value of jade material is restricted by its origin, color, shape and size. Although there have been in history? Gentlemen judge jade, value virtue over color? In the pre-Qin period, the story about He Shibi just proved that the value of jade was valued by people. After the Qin and Han Dynasties, Hetian jade from the western regions poured into the mainland in large quantities, which was favored by people for its large output, pure texture and good color. From then on, Hetian jade monopolized China. In 2000, Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty spared no expense in importing a piece of jade weighing tons from Xinjiang. It was not until the middle of19th century that the jadeite imported from Myanmar replaced the traditional jadeite in China. It can be seen that jade itself has a value that cannot be ignored.
Secondly, the early jades were mainly production tools, sacrificial tools and decorations. With the continuous development of production, social wealth is gradually increasing, and the concept of hierarchy is getting heavier and heavier. Rare and beautiful jade articles endow this concept of restraint. Since the middle Neolithic Age, exquisite jade articles have been unearthed in the tombs of some clan leaders. In the late Neolithic period, this phenomenon was more obvious. For example, in some cemeteries of Liangzhu culture, hundreds of jade articles have been unearthed in one tomb, and one of them has been unearthed in a big tomb, making jade articles an object that only a few rulers have the right to possess. In the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, this situation was more common, and they were all unearthed in large tombs in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. After the Qin dynasty, the imperial seal became a symbol of monarchical power. It is said that after Qin Shihuang unified China, he made a national seal with a good piece of lantian jade (also known as Cai). Later emperors attached great importance to this national seal and thought it was the only thrill. Several emperors in the Eastern Jin Dynasty didn't get this seal and were ridiculed as? White emperor? . After the Han Dynasty, successive dynasties also stipulated specifically what kind of imperial seal a person could obtain only at a certain level. The system of using jade as seal has been followed until the Qing Dynasty. Most of the 25 precious seals identified by Emperor Qianlong were made of jade. The use of jade belts was strictly regulated in the Tang Dynasty, such as The Book of the New Tang Dynasty? The so-called jade symbol? Later, purple was the battle of the three products, and today it took thirteen; Is the fee a four-product suit and a gold belt eleven? Zhou Li made a detailed record of this. Liu Rui? The usage rules are as follows: Zhengui, Gonghuangui, Houxingui, Bogonggui, Zihebi, and the maximum size is for the emperor. People without a certain rank and position are not allowed to wear it. Zuo Zhuan makes it very clear:? A man is innocent, but he is guilty. ? It can be seen that from the end of primitive society to the Qing Dynasty, some jade articles have always been an important symbol of political rank.
Jade is a means to accumulate wealth and a sign to show it. There are dozens of jade tombs unearthed in Liangzhu culture, and the owners of the tombs are all people with power and wealth. Hundreds of jade articles have been unearthed from some tombs, which not only serve as capital and funeral utensils, but also have the function of symbolizing wealth. Up to now, a large number of jade articles have been unearthed from tombs of Shang nobles and Fangguo, such as Muhao Tomb in Yin Ruins of Anyang and Xingan Tomb in Jiangxi. In Shang dynasty, coins made of jade appeared, that is, shell-shaped jade coins, and jade was also used as exchange and tribute. What is engraved on a jade ge unearthed from Fu Hao's tomb? Fang Lu is everyone. Ge Yu? . During the Shang Dynasty, a considerable part of jade materials used by the Shang royal family came from Liaoning and Xinjiang and were obtained through exchange or tribute. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, Shu Kingdom (a secluded place in Sichuan) once contributed jade articles to it. Precious jade articles are priceless. In order to get a first-class jade article, they will wage war and even cede territory to each other. After Qin and Han dynasties, jade, as a display of wealth, has always been favored by dignitaries. As a commodity, it was sold as early as the Song Dynasty. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, jade shops have gradually increased. Until the Qing Dynasty, the value of jade was still generally rising, wasn't it? Is there no price for ancient copper and jade?
