Jade was discovered in the Neolithic Age, but it was not recognized as precious jade at that time, only as an ordinary stone, so there was no name for jade.
From Xia, Shang to Qin and Han dynasties, Xiuyu was really recognized by people, and its value was recognized by people and became a work of art for appreciation. Most jade articles in this period were made of jade, which fully shows that jade has been widely used in this period.
