There is no answer to all this. Unless you come to Hotan and have a "close contact" with Hotan jade, you may slowly uncover the mystery.

Confucius elaborated the connotation of jade virtue from the aspects of benevolence, knowledge, righteousness, courtesy, happiness, loyalty, faith, heaven, earth, morality and Taoism. Xu Shen summarized jade as "five virtues", which corresponded to the "benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage and purity" that a gentleman should possess, and had a great influence on later generations.
