Legend has it that at the beginning of the thirteenth century, a salt merchant in Yunnan accidentally took a stone from Myanmar and returned to China. The crystal clear green stone suddenly conquered the Chinese of Aiyu. This stone is jade, because of its bright color and production. It is rare, has a glass luster, moisturizing texture, strong toughness and high hardness. It is called "hard jade" in the jade family, also known as "the king of jade".

Most of the jadeite origins belong to the undeveloped mountainous areas. Although they are not ghosts, wolves and tigers, but Mengyin and Shenshan often go to the sun for a day, and the forests and the seas only ask for the small hairs that the jade people walk out; the fog and the river are turbid. Every summer thunderstorm, the water is everywhere, the smoke is smoldering, the smoke is three feet high, that is, the gathering is not scattered, people are in the boat, reaching out and not seeing the five fingers, such as into the Wuli fog. In addition to the smog and suffocation, mosquitoes and malaria, the environment is bad, plus the original tools, short dry season, lack of materials, jade mining, extremely difficult.

Until the 18th century, with the advancement of technology, Jadeite really entered China's Yunnan. Although jade is only 300 to 400 years from the introduction to the application, but because of the magical cultural connotation of people who love jade, its short and glorious history is enough to envy other jade, and it is combined with other jade. The Chinese nation has a long history of jade culture. In the Ming Dynasty, Burmese jade appeared in China; in the Qing Dynasty, because of the love of the princes and nobles (especially by the Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty and the love of the Empress Dowager Cixi), it was called "Royal Jade", and the jade was worth a hundred times and became the best in Yuzhong. . Emerald is closely related to people's lives. In the eyes of people, it is not only a beautiful stone, but also a mysterious belief. Both the ancients and the present have loved jade, hi jade, and jade. "The gentleman has no reason, and jade does not leave."

After the Kangxi Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty, the king of Myanmar used the jade as a tribute to the Chinese emperor. Then, due to the Emperor Qianlong’s love for jade, the emperor’s family and the minister’s bureaucrats loved the jade, which also promoted the prosperity of the jade industry. At this time, the jadeite spread to the feudal upper class. Especially in the late Qing Dynasty, jadeite was more loved by Cixi, which made the value of jade abruptly increased. The legendary Cixi threw away the big diamonds sent by foreign countries, but they liked the little jade that they sent. Cixi's favorite are two emerald watermelons, melon green, black melon seeds, and red melons. Cixi sent several cronies, and they kept the pair of jade watermelons day and night. There are also two jade cabbages, vivid and vivid, with green leaves on the heart and yellow bees next to the green leaves. In the summer of 1928, Sun Dianying, then the commander of the 12th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, created the horrific Dongling Pirates incident and looted the funerary objects in the tomb of Cixi. Since then, many treasures have disappeared. It is seen from these historical materials that by the end of the Qing Dynasty, the status and trade of jade in China has surpassed Hetian jade and other jade to become the mainstream. In modern times, the emerald once again went from the court to the folk, and the people regarded it as a treasure. Now, with the development of the economy, more people have accepted the jade jewelry.

Nowadays, it has become the most popular jade in the world of the Yellow Emperor and South Korea. Peiyu Aiyu has become a modern fashion. This year, jade jewelry is still very popular. Compared with previous years, this year's favored jade jewelry is more and more high-end, and the style is more and more luxurious. The retro-style jade jewelry is sought after by most fashion people.
