中国是世界上用玉最早,且绵延时间最长的国家,素有“玉石之国”的美誉。早在公元前五千多年,我们的祖先就认识到玉石的坚硬和美丽,玉石不仅可以用来磨制工具、武器,又是美丽的装饰物件,寄托了人们的艺术情怀和精神追求,而且还作为一种礼器用来祭祀祖先,因此中国玉器一开始,就带有神秘的色彩,不仅象征着美丽高贵,而且有辟邪,象征权力、财富、贵贱等作用。 China is the earliest country in the world with the longest period of jade and is known as the “country of jade”. As early as 5000 BC, our ancestors realized that the jade was hard and beautiful. The jade can not only be used for grinding tools, weapons, but also beautiful decorative objects, which have placed people’s artistic feelings and spiritual pursuits, and It is also used as a ritual to sacrifice ancestors. Therefore, the Chinese jade started with a mysterious color, not only symbolizing beauty and nobleness, but also acting as a symbol of power, wealth and cheapness.
