Diversity in this world is what makes each of us unique in our own way. The diverse cultures of the world are the principle of various human civilizations, which we have come to recognize and accept globally. As one of the largest countries in the world and one of the four ancient civilizations, China brings with it many extremely imperative and influential cultural traditions and scientific developments. Many aspects of China's rich and profound culture can be traced back many centuries through its written history (China Highlights, 1998). Geographically, a green gemstone called jade is found in Burma, Central America, Brazil, Canada and India. While prized by many other civilizations, no other culture can match China's appreciation for jade and the complexity of its jewelry and other objects (Cultural China, 2014). The use of jade dates back almost nine thousand years to around 1700, when Chinese civilization was founded (Jackson, 2013). According to Minerals.net, there are two different forms of jade made up of two different minerals known as jadeite and nephrite. Jade is widely recognized for its vibrant green color, but many varieties of other colors also exist. Some of these colors include purple, red, orange, and blue. In some cases, jade could be multicolored (Minerals.net, 2014). Traditional jade made from nephrite, also known as "Yu" in Chinese, was defined as beautiful stones by Xu Shen in the first Chinese dictionary according to an article written by Jun Shan. Because China only had soft jade until jadeite was imported from Burma during the Qing Dynasty (1271-1368), the Chinese traditionally refer to soft jade as "traditional jade." ...... half of the paper ...... serves as an example of what qualities an "ideal" person should have in life (Tee, 2009). Therefore, the purpose of the gemstone is to convey a message to Chinese people through the 11 virtues it contains. Jade superstitions such as longevity in life, bringing good luck, protection from bad luck, and replenishing a soul will be passed down from generation to generation. As an independent invention, jade is globally useful and popular around the world, but valued for several reasons. Unlike many other countries who considered jade an important aspect of their lives, the Chinese saw jade as something much more than a stone, a mineral, a jewel, or even a tool. They have embedded significant morals and meaning within a vibrant green stone. As the Chinese proverb says: “Gold is valuable, jade is priceless.” (Shan, 2014)
