The legend of Liangzhu jade: More than aesthetic value

03:59

For the Chinese, jade isn't just a gem – it's a cultural obsession that dates back millennia. Even in the Liangzhu era, over 5,000 years ago, ancient craftsmen mastered jade carving even without metal tools. Beyond its beauty, jade carries the weight of spirituality, power and identity in Chinese tradition. From ritual artifacts to status symbols, it's been shaping our culture longer than most civilizations have existed.
