Jade and jade
Jade and jade are somewhat confused. Early and now, people confuse jade with jade and use it equally. Up to now, there is no distinction between ordinary people and craft circles and strange stone circles. But academic circles tend to separate jade from jade, and jade refers to jadeite and nephrite; Jade, as a general term, includes jade and gems composed of mineral aggregates with jade-like appearance.
Jade value
Jade goods are not ordinary goods. Although its value is mainly obtained by the amount of labor, it is not absolute. It is greatly influenced by the quality of stone, artists' artistic treatment of stone, people's aesthetic and material conditions. The amount of jade provided to the society is small, and the social demand is small. This change in quantity has a great influence on jade.
Jade with different quality and material belongs to the same variety, but its value is quite different. Whether people's technical conditions, processing technology and treatment methods are appropriate or not all have an impact on the effect of jade, which makes the shape of jade ever-changing and naturally produces different values.
When choosing jade articles, people have different understandings of the value of jade articles due to the differences of nationalities, social customs, traditional concepts and beliefs, which is the main reason why jade articles have no fixed value.
