Who can talk about the ancient jade culture in China in historical order?

Chinese jade culture has experienced three stages: magic jade, Wang Yu and human jade.

First, the stage of magic jade, 10000 years ago-4000 years ago.

First of all, based on the five rich jade resources in the northeast, southeast, middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and northwest of China, prehistoric society has been greatly developed, forming three jade culture plates and five jade culture sub-plates, laying the cornerstone of Chinese civilization.

1, five kinds of jade resources and origin:

(1) "Jiqi" means Dongyi jade, which is mainly produced in Xiuyan County;

(2) "Yaokun" is jade, and its main origin is Xiao Meiling and Maoshan in Liyang today;

(4) "Lin Qiu" is Qiang jade, mainly produced in Hotan, Xinjiang;

(5) "Misunderstanding" refers to Bashu jade, which is mainly produced in Longxi, Wenchuan, Sichuan and Myitkyina, Myanmar.

2. Three jade culture plates and five jade culture sub-plates

After the three jade culture plates, five jade culture sub-plates appeared one after another, which were on the eve of Chinese civilization and made great contributions to its appearance.

The motive force for the development and prosperity of prehistoric jade culture is God. God was created by witches and ruled the society by the power of God. Witch images can be found in prehistoric cultures such as Daxi, Lingjiatan, Liangzhu and Shijiahe.

2. The Book of Changes in the Xia and Shang Dynasties in Wang Yu's stage: 265438 BC+589 years in the Southern and Northern Dynasties in the 0 th century A.D.

The king and the imperial court have the power to produce and use jade articles. Three generations of Wang Yu became the royal jade in Qin and Han Dynasties. The main functions of jade are ritual vessels ("six sites"), sacrificial vessels (six vessels), sticks, vessels, vessels, ornaments, figures and animals. Main argument: Jade has virtue.

Confucius advocated that jade has eleven virtues: benevolence, knowledge, righteousness, courtesy, joy, loyalty, faith, heaven, earth, virtue and Taoism. Xu Shen in the Eastern Han Dynasty was refined into five virtues: benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage and purity. Confucius and Confucianism made an important contribution, that is, liberating jade from God and giving it to a "gentleman" as a carrier of virtue. A gentleman is more admired than jade, and jade will not go away for no reason.

Third, the folk jade stage

In addition to the court-specific jade, due to the development of industry and commerce and the commercial production of jade, industry and commerce and rich people ignored the imperial ban and bought jade from shops for celebration, wearing, learning, feasting, appreciation, collection and other aspects of material and cultural life.

Data: China people respect, value, love, use, wear and play with jade for at least 7,000 years. Jade is not a delicacy, a fancy dress, a good medicine or a sharp weapon. Do you still cherish it? Why is it so heavy? It is said that jade is born of lightning and is the semen of Chongshan. It is said that jade can ward off evil spirits; It is said that jade is warm and smooth, but it can be cultivated in Xiu De; It is said that jade has five virtues, nine virtues and eleven virtues, and its mystery is beyond words. Oh, I wonder if jade has this magic power, and it has been discovered and used. Or are people endowed with spiritual magic like jade? Of course, jade itself is unusual. Its quality, its color, its pattern, its luster, and the ingenuity of the material control device can be described as a natural picture. Silent and rhythmic music can be grasped in the palm of your hand, but what you don't say is fascinating and beautiful. The world doesn't value jade, which is strange and worth cherishing.

However, if it weren't for Yu Pei, the jade ornament in Hemudu seven thousand years ago, the Yulong Jade Beast in Hongshan Culture five thousand years ago, and the jade and jade unearthed in Liangzhu culture, the jade in a square inch wouldn't have become this big world. According to Shan Hai Jing, there are more than 200 jade producing places in China, and as many as 755 pieces of jade were unearthed from an ancient tomb in Yinxu, Anyang. Lin Xiangru once laid down his life to fight with hordes, just to win the imperial seal. The emperor of the Han Dynasty buried jade clothes, nine plugs, jade Han and jade handles to prevent bones from rotting. China people endowed jade with supernatural ability, and jade became a mysterious and magical god.

In the world, not only China people love jade, but also ancient Europeans and Americans are superstitious about jade, believing that wearing jade can ward off evil spirits and cure kidney disease. However, Japanese, New Zealand Maori, Indians, Arabs and Siberian who love jade have never established a rich jade culture like China. Jade has become an indispensable role in political, economic, religious, ceremonial, moral and artistic activities in China.

Why China attached so much importance to jade is very similar to why China created and used square figures and characters, which puzzled foreigners and posed a difficult problem to China thinkers. When new and old scholars deconstruct Hutuluo and Zhouyi Bagua, it doesn't seem to have much significance in front of jade. And the lasting charm of jade is here?

Today, China people still value Yu Pei jade and love it, but they can't stop playing with it. Is it because those who are good at jade are like a duck to water, forgetting words and entering the realm of Zen? It seems that jade contains the thoughts, brains, temperament and imagination of China people, and countless jade articles show the unique cultural symbols and characters of the ancient oriental countries. It is hard for people in China today not to love jade.

Tangible and intangible, noble and secular, wealth and aesthetics, rationality and superstition, natural objects and life people, on jade, fire and water blend together, on jade, one integrated mass, bloom on jade, enlarge wisdom on jade, and show the seven thousand-year ring on jade! Jade, a cultural tree growing in China, has dignified old branches and green new branches. Even after entering post-modernism or post-modernism, cloned sheep cloned various cultures, and nature created every piece of jade, but it is unique, disposable and unrepeatable, and it is difficult to clone. Jade adds a little weight, mystery, password and stability to human content.
