Encyclopedia explanation

Jade is an object made of natural jade. China had jade articles as early as 8,000 years ago, and they have continued to this day. The appearance of jade is the continuation and innovation of ancient stone tools. The difference between jade and stone tools lies in the difference in texture and processing methods. Raw natural jade is jade material. Shuo Wen Jie Zi says: "The beauty of stone is jade", and all beautiful stone products are within the scope of jade. The jades in Shi Mei are mostly interwoven with tremolite and actinolite, which is different from the stones that can be hammered into shape. Therefore, the appearance of ancient jade lies in the fact that the ancients in China in the late Neolithic period created the method of grinding jade with jade-solving sand. Ancient jade is a unique artifact of Chinese civilization in ancient human civilization. Because the ancient grinding method has been lost, the jades made by grinding method are all ancient jade, and the jades processed by modern techniques such as electric diamond tools are called new jade. Jade articles in China have been of the highest specification since prehistoric times, and are mainly used as ritual vessels and ornaments. There are jade treasures dedicated to heaven, jade cong dedicated to the earth, and Gui, Zhang, Hu and Huang dedicated to all directions. Typical prehistoric jade articles are found in Hongshan Culture and Liangzhu culture. There are many varieties and styles of modern jade ornaments, including: jade beads, jade bracelets, jade pins, jade pendants, inlaid ornaments, jade rings, gold inlaid jade products, jade belts and so on. In addition to jade, agate, secret jade and other jade materials, jade, green gold, chicken liver stone, malachite, Dongling stone, coral, crystal and so on are also used. Specifications and styles are constantly being renovated, and single bead strings include flat strings, pagoda strings, colorful strings, shaped strings, conformal strings and so on. These jewels and jade ornaments, through careful wearing, will give people a perfect combination of life and clothing.
