The Origin of Jade
In ancient China culture, cats had the same pronunciation as "old" and butterflies had the same pronunciation as "old". The term "old" referred to people over 80 years old, which implied the beauty of health and longevity. In jade, craftsmen often used cat butterflies as the theme to carve and create. Cats were lying down, looking gentle and obedient. Butterflies were often carved on the tail of cats, which not only showed the cat's playful nature, but also expressed the beautiful meaning of health and longevity through the homonym of cat butterflies. From a historical point of view, in the middle of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were jade articles with the theme of old age, such as handles, pendants, ornaments, etc. The materials were excellent, the craftsmanship was skillful, and the shape was vivid. These jade articles carried the beautiful yearning for longevity in China traditional culture. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
The Origin of Jade Artifacts
As for the origin of jade, the academic community speculated that it could be traced back to the late primitive society based on the records that came out later. For example, the Bamboo Book Annals and other documents mentioned that there were records of jade articles during the period of the Yellow Emperor, Shun, and Xia Yu, about 4200 years ago. At that time, the origin of jade seemed to be related to the Queen Mother of the West in the Kunlun Mountains in the West. There should be more jade origins in the Xia Yu era. However, archaeological excavation shows that the history of China people using jade is much earlier than recorded in the literature. As early as seven or eight thousand years ago, the primitive ancestors had created jade culture on both sides of the Liaohe River and Songhua River. Moreover, prehistoric jade articles were widely distributed and varied in texture. Before the Shang and Zhou Dynasties widely used Hetian jade in the Western Regions, they experienced an era of "jade and stone were not separated, and local materials were used". <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
A jade of unknown origin
If there was a jade artifact of unknown origin, one could consider it from the following aspects: ** 1. Initial identification of the jade itself ** 1. ** Hardness Test ** - Can use common items such as keys to carve jade. For example, if a jade with a higher hardness like Hetian jade was scratched with a key, it would not be scratched, but a material with a lower hardness like marble would be scratched. 2. ** Touch Judgement ** - When one touched a jade piece with one's hand, if it was a real jade, one would feel as if oil was pushed away. At the same time, there would be a slight resistance, which reflected the characteristic of being "as warm as jade." If it was an ordinary stone, one's hand would be very dry when pushing it, and there would be no such warmth. Moreover, the density of high-grade jade stones was not bad. When weighing them, there would be a certain sense of weight. For example, Hetian jade seeds would feel a little heavy, while ordinary stones would seem more floating. 3. ** Light up and observe ** - When the light shone on the jade, the natural jade would show a natural structure and look more comfortable, while the artificial jade might not have a structure and might even have bubbles. 4. ** Judgement of nephrite and jadeite (if it is confirmed to be jade)** - In terms of composition and hardness, nephrite, such as Hetian jade, was mainly composed of calcium, calcium, magnetite, and iron, with a Mohs hardness of 6 - 6.5 degrees. Jadeite, such as jade, was mainly composed of aluminum, and its hardness was 6.5 - 7 degrees. From the index of refraction and luster, the index of refraction of nephrite was about 1.61 - 1.63, usually showing a greasy luster, giving people a warm and moist feeling; while the index of refraction of jade was as high as 1.66 - 1.68, showing a glass luster, crystal clear. Nephrite was mainly composed of tremolite, and its structure was compact and delicate. Jadeite was composed of jadeite minerals, and its structure was harder. ** 2. Presumably, its value is related to its age (if there are more clues)** 1. ** Age Judgement ** - Generally speaking, jade articles from before the Han Dynasty were called "ancient jade." If this jade article was judged to be ancient jade, especially ancient jade from before the Han Dynasty, its value would be higher. High ancient jade was the source of China jade culture. As long as the age was reliable, it was often worth a lot of money when it appeared in the auction. Because ancient jade was a scarce resource, it contained rich historical and cultural information. It had high historical value and cultural relic value, and was cherished by foreign museum and senior collectors. 2. ** Value assessment (excluding age)** - From the quality of the jade (such as whether it was Hetian jade, jade, and other precious jade), craftsmanship (whether there were exquisite carvings, etc.), the degree of preservation, and other aspects, the value of the jade was considered. For example, jade had a high status in the jewelry market. In 2024, a jade bead chain was sold for a sky-high price of 214 million Hong Kong dollars. However, if you wanted to determine the value, age, and authenticity of jade articles of unknown origin, it was best to seek the help of a professional jade appraiser or archaeologist. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

The relationship between the origin of jade articles and the quality of jade articles
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>
