Read the four major Chinese cultures behind Jade
Jade and colored gemstones have their own merits. If you really want to compete, the culture of the oriental jade is more profound and restrained than the diamond jewelry that is popular in the Western world.
Since ancient times, China has had the reputation of “the country of jadeâ€. The ancients’ love for jade is more than that of today’s. Some people say that they like jade because the jade is warm and transparent; some people say that they like jade because they can keep their peace; some people say that they like jade because Dai Jade can keep health... In fact, these statements are not groundless. Behind the jade is actually the four major cultures of China.
Gentleman culture
The ancients pay attention to the doctrine of the mean, and peace is more expensive. The capitalized "and" in the 2008 Beijing Olympics shows the value orientation of the Chinese for thousands of years. Under the influence of such culture, the Chinese praised the "gentleman." The warm and transparent nature of jade and jade coincides with the pursuit of the Chinese people. This also has the saying of "modest gentleman, gentle as jade".
Buddhist culture
This can be seen from the common carvings of the jade, the Buddha, Guanyin, Zen, etc. are the most popular jade carvings. The so-called "Men wearing Guanyin women wearing Buddha" is also influenced by Buddhist culture. Since the introduction of Buddhism to China from the Han Dynasty, it has had a tremendous impact on Chinese traditional culture. Until the present, although many Chinese are not Buddhists, the influence of Buddhism is still deeply rooted. The artistic conception of Buddhist culture was introduced into the jade carving, which also created the Buddhist culture of the emerald.
Peace culture
The Chinese people attach importance to the family and no country in the world can match it. The most common wish of any Chinese family is peace and wealth, happiness and well-being. Many ancient children have a long life lock. Peace is the greatest wish of the Chinese people for thousands of years, and there are many jade ornaments with peace and meaning. Among them, no cards, peace buckles, bracelets and ring faces reflect the culture of peace.
In order to extend this, there is also a culture of blessing, promotion of wealth, evil spirits, and many children.
Health culture
In addition to peace, the Chinese people's other pursuit is longevity. In ancient China, Chinese medicine was invented, aiming at getting sick and keeping health. The description of jade in ancient medical practice is "the beauty of jade stone, sweet and flat and non-toxic." The ancients believed that jade could not only serve as an ornament, but also have the health and health effects of strengthening the body. The emperors of all generations are inseparable from jade, and the story of Yang Guifei’s jade town is the best illustration.
