"For most of the Chinese, jade ornaments have been always the best choices used as charm pendant, belt toggle or pocket emblem. In Confucian tradition jade had been institutionalized in the country ritual ceremonies to have five virtues the symbolized the highest moral principles that should be closely observed and followed by all the beneficial despots and ideal gentlemen.

As for the commoners, they often take jade as a rich ornament to decorate their outfit and as an auspicious amulet to bring them good lucks that will redeem them from their failures and dissatisfactions. They rub and appreciate the fine piece of jade in their palms all day long in order to feel the textures of the stone as well as the artistic achievements of the jade carvers.

The inticate pattern and dexterous craftsmanship, the subtle color and the nice cool feel of a fine piece of jade in your hand is always a joy forever and it will bring you not only and external satisfaction as a wonderful ornament but also internal peace as a spiritual icon."
