Jade ware was made from natural jade. China had jade ware as early as 8,000 years ago and it had been around since then. Ancient jade was a unique artifact of Chinese civilization. It was distinguished by the way it was processed. Those made by grinding were ancient jade, while those made by modern technology such as electric diamond tools were new jade. Since the appearance of China jade in prehistoric times, it was mostly used as ritual vessels and accessories, such as jade Bi used to worship heaven, jade Cong used to worship the ground, Gui, Zhang, Hu, Huang used to worship the four directions, etc. Prehistoric Hongshan culture and Liangzhu culture can be seen in the typical jade. Jade before the Han Dynasty was called "ancient jade." The ancient jade before the Han Dynasty was the source of China jade culture. The ancient jade with reliable age could easily fetch millions of dollars in the auction field, and it was highly valued by powerful collectors, foreign museum, and senior collectors. There were three common methods to identify jade. One was to use a key to scratch. If the hardness was low, such as marble, there would be scratches, but Hetian jade and other hard jade would not. The second was to touch. If the jade was pushed by hand, there would be a feeling of oil being pushed away and there would be a slight resistance. The stone would be dry. At the same time, the density of high-grade jade was good. The Hetian jade seed material would feel heavy in the hand, while ordinary stones would feel floating. The third method was to observe with a lamp. Natural jade lamps had a natural structure, while man-made ones might not have a structure or even have bubbles. The definition of modern jade was broader, including Hetian jade, emerald, agate, Dushan jade, Shoushan stone, etc. From a scientific point of view, jade was divided into nephrite (such as Hetian jade, mainly composed of calcium, calcium, magnetite, Mohs hardness of 6 - 6.5 degrees, refraction index of 1.61 - 1.63, with oily luster) and jadeite (such as jadeite, composed of aluminum, soda, hardness of 6.5 - 7 degrees, refraction index of 1.66 - 1.68, with glass luster).

The cotton in the jade would not decrease because of the long time it had been worn. The cotton wool in the jade was a naturally formed mineral enclosure. Its quantity and distribution were usually fixed. It was a part of the jade when it was formed and would not change because of daily wear. Although the fat secreted by the human body would interact with the jade when it was worn for a long time, making the surface of the jade more moist, it might make the original cotton appear lighter, but this was only a visual difference, not a real reduction in cotton. In theory, the crystal structure of a well-grown jade was tightly bound together and could hold the cotton in place. However, it was difficult for the cotton to change in a short period of time (180 years) for a poorly grown jade. During the processing of jade, some fibers may be removed to improve the appearance, but this was not a reduction in cotton. Therefore, the cotton in the jade would not decrease.

Wearing jade jewelry for a long time would not reduce the cotton inside the jade. No matter the quality of the jade, it would still have cotton. The cotton was the stable structure of the jade, and the cotton in the jade would not change with the length of time. Under normal circumstances, the cotton wool inside the jade jewelry was small and looked thick. After wearing it for a period of time, the distribution of the cotton wool inside would change and become layered, which would give people an illusion. It was impossible to reduce the cotton of jade jewelry. It could only exist in another way. The internal shape of the jade would change if it was worn for a long time, but it would not disappear. The change of the shape of the jade cotton might be affected by the formation process. The internal impurities and the structure were not tight and there were gaps that led to the change of the internal cotton shape. When some unscrupulous merchants sold jade jewelry, they would use the gimmick of reducing cotton wool to deceive consumers. The novel " Nine Levels of Purple " is equally exciting.

Jade Bi was a kind of flat round jade with a hole in the center. It was one of the traditional jade ritual vessels in China and also one of the six auspicious signs. The ratio of "flesh"(the side outside the hole) to "good"(the middle hole) was about 2:1, which meant that the diameter of the hole was about half of the outer ring of the jade wall. The jade wall was round like the sky, with a hole connected to the spirit. It was often used for "offering sacrifices to heaven". In ancient times, it was a very important ceremonial item. It played an important role in the promotion of officials, important occasions, and ceremonial activities. It represented power and status, and usually only emperors and nobles could have it. From the perspective of historical development, the earliest jade could be traced back to the Neoliths period about 5,000 to 6,000 years ago in China. The Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty was the heyday of jade. Whether it was in terms of shape or decoration, it could be said to be a historical period of great success. The level of jade craftsmanship also reached a new peak, and the number was also the highest in history. From the perspective of shape, the Warring States jade wall could be roughly divided into three types and seven styles: the basic shape was round, and according to the different patterns, it could be extended to three forms: plain wall, the whole wall surface carving pattern regardless of the area, and the wall surface carving pattern according to the area. There were also extended and developed shapes to make the outline wall (on the basis of the round wall, the outer edge of the wall was carved with auxiliary decorations) and the double ring wall (on the basis of the round wall, a small concentric circle wall was carved in the hole). The jade pieces that were popular in different dynasties had different patterns. It was mentioned in the Rites of the Zhou Dynasty that jade could be used for offering sacrifices to heaven and also used as a burial offering. For example, in past archaeological excavation, some of the unearthed jade were laid on the body of the tomb owner, and some were sewn on the clothes of the tomb owner.

There were many situations with Jade and Jadeite on TikTok. On TikTok, the live broadcast of Jade had gone through different stages of development. For example, in September 2019, when TikTok was the first jewelry and jade live broadcast base in Ruili, there were only seven accounts on the whole network that could sell jewelry and jade products on TikTok. At that time, the sales volume was only 300,000 per day and there were only 500 people online at the same time. As time passed, the daily sales of a single base in Danpingzhou could exceed 80 million. There were also many top IPs, and the number of online users could reach tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. However, the current live broadcast of Jade Jadeite on TikTok also faced some problems. For example, the proportion of old customers was too high. When it exceeded 50% or even higher, it meant that the source of new customers would decrease, and the consumption power of old customers would not always be strong, which would affect the long-term development of the live broadcast room. At the same time, it was difficult for Short videos to make explosive sales, and the return rate was getting higher and higher. In terms of content, the industry's monotonous Short videos output caused it to be unable to pull in new products. The product innovation was almost stagnant, which aggravated the aesthetic fatigue of consumers, causing the existing consumers to solidify and lose. Without new content and products to drive the traffic to break the circle, the scale of the jade live broadcast had a trend of shrinking. However, there were also positive aspects. Since 2024, Dehong Prefecture had launched a special campaign to rectify the jewelry, jade, and jade industry. The issue of jade live broadcast was included in the focus of the public's unhealthy practices and corruption. A special campaign leading group was established and relevant system documents were issued to achieve the unification of online and offline law enforcement. The management measures of "live broadcast reporting + base management + bright logo live broadcast + publicity" were adopted, and the relevant reporting platform system was developed. This would help to regulate the live broadcast of Jade and Jadeite on platforms such as TikTok. From January to September, Dehong Prefecture's live broadcast base completed the sales of jewelry and jade of 6.913 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth of 19.93%. Jewelry and jade live broadcast showed a rapid recovery trend. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
