Can jade really support people?
Since ancient times, from emperors to princes to the people, people have cherished beautiful jade, believing that jade is the essence of yin and yang and has a magical effect on human health.

"People raise jade, jade raises people" is actually common sense among the people. Jade is the most abundant material of "Qi". For thousands of years, apart from wearing Baoyu, the royal aristocrats also brought jade pieces and beads, and even jade or jade clothes to wear in their mouths after death to protect their remains.

Li Shizhen, a medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty, wrote in Compendium of Materia Medica: "Metaphysics is another name for jade." It is so easy to get it, so it is said that "taking Zhen Xuan (jade) will not die." It also says, "Jade pieces are made of jade. It smells sweet and nontoxic. Indications for removing stomach heat, dyspnea, thirst quenching, beans and other debris. If you take it for a long time, you will be healthy for many years. It can moisten the heart and lungs, help the voice moisten the throat and nourish the hair. Nourish the five internal organs and stop fidgety. Gold, silver and Ophiopogon japonicus are beneficial. " This shows that jade has been used as medicine since ancient times and has an excellent effect in treating diseases and health care.

Modern scientific analysis shows that many jade articles are rich in trace elements beneficial to human body, such as chromium and iron. If you often wear jade ornaments, these beneficial elements can penetrate into the human body through the skin, thus balancing the coordination of Yin and Yang, qi and blood and promoting health.

Pharmacologically speaking, wearing gems for a long time can keep the balance of various elements in the human body, and different gems have different functions. According to the research of mineral medicine, some gems can produce high-intensity photoelectric effect, and their diffraction force can release huge energy enough to affect human bioelectricity and regulate metabolism. The special photoelectric effect of gems can resonate with the human body. Some gems have been carefully cut and polished, which have the function of centralized energy storage, absorbing light during the day and emitting light at night. If the light spot is aimed at a certain acupoint, it can stimulate the meridians and dredge the viscera, which will have a more peculiar curative effect. Mouth contains jade, which can promote fluid production, dissolve bacteria, quench thirst, remove stomach heat, relieve dysphoria, nourish heart and lungs, moisten throat and care hair. Gems can also inhibit fungi, so they can treat facial scars and human allergies.

Modern medicine believes that jade also has wonderful mineral physical functions. For example, diamonds can "ward off evil spirits and drive away toxic gases", because they can absorb the short-wave band of sunlight, thus becoming an ideal "storage" of ultraviolet rays, so they have a disinfection and sterilization effect on the human body; Sapphire can relieve respiratory diseases; Olivine can cure thirst or dizziness caused by asthma and high fever; White jade can dispel blood stasis and stop bleeding; Turquoise and lapis lazuli can detoxify; Topaz and crystal stone will concentrate these effects in the polishing process of precision machining to form an electromagnetic field, which can resonate with the human body, thus promoting the more harmonious and accurate operation of various functions in the human body. Crystal, in Shan Hai Jing, was once called water jade, water essence, bodhisattva stone and so on. Li Shizhen, a great medical scientist, recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that crystal is "pungent and cold, non-toxic", which is mainly used for "shocking the wind and clearing away heat, calming the heart and improving eyesight, removing red eyes, refreshing the brain, facilitating defecation, nourishing viscera, lowering blood pressure, warming the lungs and kidneys, ironing and rubbing obstacles", and can also treat "lung pain, vomiting pus, coughing and ascending qi, and pleasing the color" and other magical functions. Modern science also shows that crystal contains trace elements such as iron, magnesium, copper, manganese, titanium, zinc, nickel and cobalt, which are beneficial to human body. Crystal also has a weak electromagnetic field, which can stabilize people's mood and enhance people's adaptability.

White jade can not only get rid of diseases and strengthen the body, but also has the miraculous effect of beauty beauty. It is called "Oriental Magic Jade" by western ladies. Pang Sanniang, a famous singer in the Tang Dynasty, was already a wrinkled old Xu Niang, but she was good at makeup and beauty, so she looked like a young girl. Legend has it that in her beauty arsenal, there is a very powerful secret weapon, the special Bai Yushi. It is also recorded in Yu Xiang Lu that Empress Dowager Cixi has a unique beauty method, that is, rubbing, rubbing and rolling her face with a white jade ruler every day. White jade ruler is a short cylindrical jade roller made of precious special Bai Yushi. This kind of jade was also used in Taiping cars used by concubines in Qing Dynasty. The ancients thought that jade was condensed from jade liquid, which could breathe and breathe. It is recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica, a famous medical work in China, that special jade has the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, moistening skin and promoting granulation, promoting blood circulation and dredging collaterals, and improving eyesight and refreshing brain. The Book of Rites, one of the four oriental classics, also spoke highly of the medicinal value of jade.

The appearance of jade flowers is often used to describe the beauty of women. Flowers and jade have been the original materials for women's beauty makeup since ancient times. In the Yin Dynasty, a kind of red orchid produced in the north was made into "Yan Zhi", supplemented by white natural mineral (special jade) as powder and Dai, which was found in Shennong Herbal Classic. There are more than 20 kinds of beauty cosmetics in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which can form the earliest and most complete series in the history of makeup. The compound prescription in Liu Fang includes many kinds of layered chain natural silicates (minerals). Ancient books such as Anhoujifang and Notes Collection clearly recorded the beauty effects of mineral raw materials such as white jade, amber and cinnabar.

So, how does the special Bai Yushi make the beauty of peerless beauty last forever? Modern high-tech tests show that the special Bai Yushi has special photoelectric effect. In the process of friction rolling, heat can be gathered, energy can be stored, and an electromagnetic field can be formed, which is equivalent to a resonator in an electronic computer. It will resonate with the human body and promote the coordinated and accurate operation of various parts and organs, thus achieving the functions of stabilizing emotions and balancing physiological functions. In addition, according to biochemical analysis, some special jade also contains trace elements that are beneficial to human body, and often comes into contact with human skin, which can play a therapeutic and health care role that is difficult to fully understand in modern science. In particular, Bai Yushi also has a calming effect. Facial skin is dominated by cranial nerves and is often in a state of tension. A cool Bai Yushi massage can calm the facial nerves. In the folk, the custom of pregnant women holding white jade in both hands to relieve pain and assist delivery has a long history.
