Jade chan began in Shang dynasty, and there are two forms, one is flat head and the other is pointed flat head, similar to later generations. According to ancient documents, Yugui is a symbol of ritual vessels and rights among the nobles in the palace. There is such a record in ancient history: Shun once gave a fish turtle to Dayu, and Dayu succeeded in controlling water. According to ancient literature, the nobles offered Yu Gui in the ceremony of Zhou Wang's accession to the throne or pilgrimage. Obviously, it can be found that seeing Yugui is of great significance in showing etiquette system and maintaining hierarchical order.
Recently, Guangzhou Xunlong had the honor to collect a jade laurel:
This kind of jade reed, with a flat and long head, is decorated with double hook strings and engraved with fonts. It is powerful, smooth and shiny, and it is a trustworthy thing. Gui is a brand held by ancient officials when they went to court. This collection is a rare treasure with high collection value, cultural relic value and historical value.
As the ancients said, the beauty of stone lies in jade. Since ancient times, China people have a special preference for jade, which is regarded as the cornerstone of Chinese civilization and has an incredible mystery. In ancient times, a gentleman never left his hand for no reason, and a gentleman never left his hand for jade. The moist color of jade symbolizes kindness, the hard texture symbolizes wisdom, and the harmless edges and corners indicate fairness and justice. In the folk, I believe that jade can ward off evil spirits and represents righteousness and spirituality!
