The myth of JADE
JADE- a gemstone of unique symbolic energy, and unique in the myths that surround it. With its beauty and wide-ranging expressiveness, JADE has held a special attraction for mankind for thousands of years.


In the Chinese Empire JADE was considered the most noble of all gems; to the extent that it was simply designated under the name Yu, "precious stone". Yu; means "treasure" in Chinese the way "gold" means "wealth" in English.

According to myth, the stone was born during a storm, and for this reason every home had JADE in its foundations to keep lightning at bay. According to another myth, the stone was crystallized moonlight that came from the holy mountains.

It was naturally the royal stone, and believed to be the incarnation of the cosmic principle. As such, it was said to possess the five essential virtues of Chinese philosophy: compassion, modesty, courage, justice and wisdom - but it was also credited with benevolence, knowledge, righteousness, virtuousness, purity, endurance, ingenuousness, morality and music.

 A disciple of Confucius once asked him why men valued JADE more than serpentine. "Is it because JADE is scarce and serpentine is abundant?" Confucius replied: "It is not, but it is because men of olden days regarded it as a symbol of the virtues.

Its gentle, smooth, glossy appearance suggests charity of heart; its fine close texture and hardness suggests wisdom; it is firm and yet does not wound, suggesting duty to one's neighbor; it hangs down as though sinking, suggesting ceremony; struck, it gives a clear note, long drawn out, dying gradually away and suggesting music;

its flaws do not hide its excellences, nor do its excellences hide its flaws, suggesting loyalty; it gains our confidence, suggesting truth;

its spirituality is like the bright rainbow, suggesting the heavens above; its energy is manifested in hill and stream, suggesting the earth below; as articles of regalia it suggests the exemplification of that than which there is nothing in the world of equal value, and thereby is Tao itself."
As a tribute to its value, the classics of Chinese philosophy suggested the creation of a special ministry to manage the use of the stone.
