Different origins had different geological structures and other conditions, which would cause differences in the quality of jade. For example, Kuandian County, LiaoningProvince, China was one of the places of origin of early jade products, which were tremolite nephrite. Places like Kachin State and Mandalay Province in Myanmar were the main producing areas of jade. These areas had complex geological structures and rich mineral resources. The jade produced was of excellent quality. For example, the jade produced in Hpakant had a fine texture and bright color, and the jade produced in Mogok had a fine texture. However, the quality of jade could not be judged solely by the place of origin. The jade of each place of origin was divided into good and bad. For example, the seed material in Hetian jade was also of poor quality, and the mountain material also reached the level of gemstones. The quality of jade itself needed to be evaluated from the aspects of exquisiteness, oiliness, and introversion. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

For example, in the jade market in Shifosi Town, Zhenping County, there were many anchors who would walk around the counters of various merchants in the Friends of Jade Trade City. They used flashlights to observe the color of the jade, measured the inner diameter of the jade bracelet with calipers, and then showed and selected the favorite jade products to the online audience. The host would also explain to the audience about jade, including how to distinguish the quality of jade, such as water (glutinous or glutinous ice, etc.), texture (rigid or sticky, etc.).

In China culture and tradition, the evil-warding meaning of jade had many origins and meanings. From the perspective of cultural origins, jade was first used for rituals and sacrifices. The ancients believed that jade had the ability to communicate with the gods of heaven and earth, and this communication ability was extended to exorcism and blessing. For example, in ancient times, the "six utensils" used to worship the four directions of heaven and earth, namely, jade cong, jade Bi, jade Gui, jade Zhang, jade Huang, and jade Hu, were originally used as sacrificial instruments. Later, after the jade articles came down from the altar and became accessories, the meaning of communicating with the gods to ward off evil spirits was still retained. From the perspective of legends, after Pangu died, his bone marrow turned into jade and pearls, and jade was regarded as a mascot with the power to ward off evil. The Classic of Mountains and Seas also recorded that " a gentleman wears it to ward off bad luck." A gentleman wearing jade can ward off bad luck. From a physical point of view, any object had magnetic fields and radiation, and the human body and jade were no exception. When in an environment that repels the human body's magnetic field, such as a cemetery, wearing jade can strengthen one's own magnetic field and regulate positive energy, thereby resisting the negative energy brought by the unfavorable environment and achieving the effect of exorcism. From the moral symbolism of jade, Xu Shen of the Eastern Han Dynasty mentioned that jade had five virtues in Shuo Wen Jie Zi. The ancient literati compared themselves to jade to remind themselves to follow the five virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith. When virtue flourished, evil would not invade, and thus played the role of warding off evil. The " evil " here not only referred to the traditional demons and ghosts, but also included the invisible things such as evil in human nature. In addition, there were also jade articles with the meaning of exorcism such as Gangmao, Sinan, and Wengzhong. In short, the evil-warding jade symbolized the integration of traditional China culture, legends, physical phenomena, and moral symbols. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
