In addition, foreign countries like things with clear standards. For example: diamonds. There is no standard for jadeite, which is difficult for foreign consumers to understand, so there is no way to like it. To sum up: "Orientals don't accept optimization, and Westerners don't accept no standards." This is caused by the cultural differences between East and West.
Secondly, cultural differences. China people's love for jade is the crystallization of China's culture for thousands of years. Comparing diamonds with seed jade, although westerners also have 4C views on diamonds, the first thing is cutting, and the quality of cutting directly affects the quality of diamonds. No matter how big the diamond is, westerners will never get a flower and give it some meaning. It will always be polished according to the shape of a circle, a princess square, a pear and a horse eye. Even if the finished product comes out as big as the palm of your hand and is embedded in rattan, it will not be made into flowers, ornaments or handmade.
China people have endowed jade with more humanistic poetry, and the Chinese nation is a romantic nation in its bones. When you see bamboo, you can think of bamboo before it was unearthed. Open-minded; Higher scores have both auspicious meanings and the spirit of scholar-officials. China people appreciate jade, and prefer to combine the advantages and disadvantages of the stone itself with exquisite craftsmanship to express their wishes.
"General experts will not buy treasures, because their value judgment comes from the current value trend. Only those who really think something is beautiful and ignore its value often find the treasure in the end. " What we often talk about is why China people like jade, not why China people pursue jade, which just shows that China people's attitude towards jade is not only a value orientation, but also an emotional tendency.
People always habitually compare jade with diamonds. "Diamonds last forever, and one lasts forever." Too many people are confused by such sentences. Rather than saying that people like diamonds, most people's preferences are kidnapped by the value marked on the back of diamonds. On the contrary, China people's love for jade is not limited to how many zeros there are in the market, but also a little throbbing pleasure besides these zeros. When it comes to diamonds, everyone will think of a particularly specific image, that is, the glittering things inlaid on the ring. When it comes to jade, many things suddenly come to mind, but it is difficult to form a specific image, which is one reason why China people love jade.
"Diamonds last forever, one will last forever" has become one of the most classic advertising words since the 20th century, but little known is that this sentence is a classic marketing case, and the protagonist is De Beers, a famous jewelry company. It can be said that without De Beers, natural diamonds would not be today. More than half of the diamond mines in the world belong to De Beers. In the early years, De Beers accounted for more than 90%. It is the absolute controller of diamond transportation. De Beers only needs to shrink its shipments slightly, and the price of diamonds in the market will rise.
As a gemstone material, the pursuit of dazzling, restrained and subtle Hetian jade by western accessories does not meet their aesthetic standards, so international collectors have not classified Hetian jade as jewelry and jade. But among all jewelry materials, jade is the closest to people. Money is money, diamonds are price, and jade is life. Hetian jade has always existed as a personal ornament since ancient times. Pay attention to whether to play, jade will appear more moist. So diamonds are like delicate little girls, to be held, while Hetian jade is a bit like the wife of chaff, and the longer it takes, the more you can taste things.
As a transition with profound jade culture, in the eyes of China people, jade has the connotation of national tradition, which is not only a material concept, but also a social and cultural concept. Some people say that "Hetian jade is not destined to be a diamond". In fact, Hetian jade and diamonds are not comparable. The former is jade and the latter is precious stone. Each has its own aesthetic feeling, which aesthetic feeling is more appreciated is related to the historical tradition of a specific group, and whether it is "international" is not important, especially for China people, it is enough to have more people who love our traditional culture.
