Tiger horse Song Dynasty translucent jade artifact

 



Since the dawn of time the Chinese have considered jade more valuable than gold. Jade throughout the ages was considered to be the Gemstone from Heaven. The earliest Neolithic artifacts discovered in China have been carved from this mysterious and beautiful gemstone we call jade.

Jade was held in the highest reverence and considered to have been created by the supernatural forces of heaven to guide humanity. The ancient Chinese believed that Jade embodied the forces of nature and the Universe as it emanated transcendental qualities. Through its mystic powers, the Chinese have sought the key to earthly protection and everlasting life. The search for the balance between the Yin and Yang, the promise of immortality, these cherished beliefs have perpetuated themselves through countless millennium from tribesmen to Emperor. In many ways, the history of jade reflects the evolution of Chinese culture, encompassing its long and eventful history. From the Neolithic period to the present day, jade has been intimately linked to the beginnings of Chinese civilization and culture. In fact, jade is often cited as one of the defining characteristics in the continuity of China's 5,000 year history and culture.

Jade is a very hard gemstone, fashioning it into desired shapes is an exceptionally long and painstaking process, especially during Neolithic times when only simple tools were available. Over the more than seven thousand years of its use, a rich variety of functions and symbolic values were ascribed to this gemstone from heaven. Above all, it came to be associated with an emblem of power for those who used it in association with rituals and ceremonies or wore it in the form of ornaments. Until the end of the Chinese Republic, by the Mao's Communist revolution, all treaties and Diplomatic contracts were signed with the Great Seal of the Republic that was carved from Jade.

Jade's mystical powers over Chinese thought and history have been preserved in the form of Ancient Jade Artifacts.
