"Gold in troubled times, jade in prosperous times" was a traditional concept of wealth. In troubled times, society was in turmoil and the situation was unstable. Gold had the following characteristics that made it a safe haven choice in troubled times: First, its chemical properties were stable, easy to preserve, and not easy to deteriorate; second, gold was widely recognized as a universal currency equivalent on a global scale. It had a strong circulation and could be easily exchanged for needed materials in troubled times of economic chaos and the possible collapse of the monetary system. In the prosperous times, society was stable and prosperous. People's living standards improved, and their spiritual and cultural needs increased. Jade (such as jadeite) had many aspects of value and became a hot collection. First of all, from the perspective of resource characteristics, jade resources could not be regenerated. Like jadeite, except for Myanmar, there were few other places in the world that could produce gem-level jadeite, and due to over-exploitation, the resources were increasingly exhausted. Secondly, in terms of beauty and cultural content, jade was regarded as a mascot. In China culture, it had the meaning of exorcising evil and avoiding evil. For example, it was regarded as a family heirloom or a token of love. It was a symbol of a gentleman. It had the effect of calming fear, seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, symbolizing peace, good fortune, wealth and longevity.

In addition, jade also had artistic value, such as the flower and bird theme in jade carvings. Through exquisite carving techniques, jade could have extremely high artistic appreciation value and was suitable for collection and play. The novel "Gilded Palm" is equally exciting.

The common saying was,"Gold is hidden in troubled times, jade in prosperous times." In troubled times, society and politics were in disorder, and the world was in chaos. On the one hand, fixed assets such as land and real estate were difficult to take away and easy to loot. Gold was small, valuable, easy to carry, long-term storage, uniform texture, and easy to divide. It was the easiest property to carry and preserve its value. On the other hand, in troubled times, paper and silver notes might become invalid with the change of dynasties, but gold as a currency had experienced more than 2000 years of historical test. It was still used in different dynasties and was the most stable hard currency. It could be used for refuge and preservation, so it was given the "safe haven" attribute. In the golden age, people's living standards improved and their spiritual content was rich. Jade, represented by jadeite, had the function of maintaining and increasing its value due to its scarcity and inability to be manufactured artificially. At the same time, unlike gold, which had a price, jade was difficult to measure with a unified price. Moreover, the production was much lower than gold, and the rarer it was, the more valuable it was. In the cultural sense, jade was a symbol of noble status. In ancient times, only high officials and nobles could wear jade of excellent quality, while gold could be worn as long as they had money. It was only a symbol of wealth. Therefore, in Shengshi, jade was more favored for collection. The saying that gold was hidden in prosperous times and jade was hidden in troubled times did not match the traditional concept.
