In the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was an important carrier of "rites", and even became a moral sentiment due to its warm, moist and lustrous characteristics. The sustenance. After the Qin and Han dynasties, the jade gradually faded from its dazzling halo, but it still carried people's good wishes for peace and prosperity.
