Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-01-29

China is the world's largest jade-producing country, because jade represents beauty, wealth and eternity, and has always been loved by the Chinese people. The Chinese love and worship of jade has contributed to the precocious and great achievements of jade art in China. The art of jade shines with dazzling brilliance at weddings.

Chinese jade has a long history of 7,000 years. As early as the middle and late Neolithic period, the unearthed jade artifacts of the Liangzhu culture and the Hongshan culture were eye-catching. There are many types of jade artifacts in Liangzhu culture, and typical artifacts include jade cong, jade bi, jade yue, three-pronged jade and strings of jade necklacesThe Hongshan culture is characterized by animal-shaped jade and round jade, typical of which are jade dragons, jade beast-shaped ornaments, and jade hoop-shaped vessels.

During the Han Dynasty, Xu Shen became the first person to define jade on the basis of combining Guan Zhong and Confucius's theory of jade virtue and the development of jade in the Han Dynasty, and put forward the "Five Virtues Theory" of jade. He said in "Shuo Wen Jie Zi": Jade, the beauty of stone. This marked a more in-depth stage in the development of jade culture. In modern times, the development of jade is more diverse, but in general, China's four famous jade is divided into the "Hetian jade" produced in Xinjiang, whose mineral composition is mainly tremolite - actinolite, and contains trace amounts of diopside, serpentine, graphite, etc.;"Xiuyu" produced in Xiuyan County, Liaoning;The "Dushan jade" produced in Nanyang, Henan;The "turquoise" produced in Yunxian County, Hubei Province and other places.

So, what are the advantages of each of these four types of jade?

01.Hetian jade

It is mainly distributed in Xinjiang region of China, and its mineral composition is mainly tremolite-actinolite, and contains trace amounts of diopside, serpentine, graphite, etc. The advantages of Hetian jade are delicate texture, warm touch, soft color, good light transmittance, and high collection value and ornamental value. However, because its mineral composition is relatively fixed, mainly tremolite, it is relatively lacking in the so-called "origin characteristics".

02.Lantian jade

Mainly produced in Lantian County, Xi'an, Shaanxi, it is characterized by hard and brittle texture, not easy to wear, not easy to be corroded, and bright color and good light transmittance. However, the disadvantage is that it is higher, because it is mainly produced in Lantian County, a suburb of Xi'an, and the output is small.

03.Dushan jade

It is mainly produced in Dushan County, Nanyang City, Henan Province, and its characteristics are hard texture, wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, bright color and good light transmittance. However, because it is mainly produced in Dushan County, a suburb of Nanyang City, the yield is small, so the ** is relatively high.

04.Xiuyan jade

Mainly produced in Xiuyan Manchu Autonomous County, Liaoning Province, it is characterized by soft texture, easy to carve into various shapes, and bright color and light transmittance. However, because it is mainly produced in Xiuyan Manchu Autonomous County, the output is small, so the ** is relatively high.

Xiuyan jade is the earliest and oldest jade species developed in the history of Chinese jade culture. More than 5,000 years ago, during the Hongshan culture period in the north, the development and utilization of Xiuyan jade reached its peak. In modern society, Xiuyan jade products account for 70% of the market in China's jade products, and more and more high-end sleep products have begun to study Xiuyan jade, and Xiuyan jade is also integrated into products.

Among them, we have to mention a company that specializes in "making a fortune" from Xiuyanyu - Jiaxing Fuqi multi-temperature controlled bed

Since 2007, Fuqiduo has been researching Xiuyan jade, and is committed to connecting jade with life and finding the part of jade that is beneficial to the human body.

For countless days and nights, the design team of Fuqi Duoyu Home Furnishing has conducted a lot of research and research, and has taken Xiuyan jade as the choice of raw materials for its products, aiming to inherit jade culture and reflect the beauty of jade. Their research has shown that Xiuyan jade contains a variety of trace elements that are beneficial to the human body, and long-term contact and use are very beneficial to the human body. In addition, the Fuqiduo team also combined Xiuyan jade with intelligent temperature control to make it easier for trace elements to enter the human body.

I have to say that jade brings together the aura of heaven and earth, the brilliance of mountains and rivers, and those who love jade are really gentlemen.
