Jade is a decoration for nobles during their lifetime and a burial item after their death, making it a symbol of imperial power and nobility. It is said that jade also has a magical effect of preventing corpses from rotting. Later, these magical effects gradually faded away, and people valued their value more in making exquisite jewelry, utensils, and archaeology. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the shapes and decorative patterns of jade products often imitated ancient times, thus linking ancient and modern times.
