Nephrite jade, particularly the variety known as Serpentine, has profoundly impacted China's cultural and historical landscape for thousands of years. Renowned for its toughness, beauty, and spiritual significance, nephrite jade has been cherished since the Neolithic period, with artifacts dating back over 5,000 years. In ancient China, jade was regarded as the "Stone of Heaven," symbolizing purity, moral integrity, and eternal life. It was used to craft ritual objects, ceremonial masks, ornaments, and burial items for royalty and aristocrats, reflecting social status and spiritual beliefs.

Throughout Chinese history, jade held a central place in cultural practices and philosophy. Confucian ideals emphasized virtues like righteousness and wisdom, often symbolized by jade’s enduring qualities. The stone was believed to possess protective and healing powers, and its carvings often served as talismans for good fortune and longevity.

The tradition of jade craftsmanship flourished during the Shang, Zhou, Han, and subsequent dynasties, leading to exquisite jade carvings and jewelry that are highly valued even today. Overall, nephrite jade, especially Serpentine, embodies China's rich cultural heritage, spiritual beliefs, and artistic excellence, making it a treasured symbol of national identity and historical continuity.
