Any questions about ancient China. If the Chinese had no source of natural jade, where they find their jade?
Jade refers two materials different Nephrite jade and jadeite jade. There is a source of jade in China. Almost all jadeite imported into China is now the Myanmar (Burma). In fact, until now, the only known source of coveted Imperial Jade (Green and Lavender) is Burma. Jadeite is relatively "new" when it was discovered in the late 17th to 18th century and popularized during the Qing (Ching) dynasty under the reign of Emperor Qian Long. Furthermore, the jade jade was known, respected and used in China, more than 5000 years. It is even today called the real stone from the sky in Chinese. The principal source of jade are desired Chinese East Turkistan (province of Xin Jiang). East Turkestan covers 1.6 million kilometers square, now a sixth of Chinese territory. It is located in Central Asia, borders Kazakhstan to the north, Mongolia, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan and north, northwest and west. This is what they are famous mountains of Kunlun. As in ancient times, the variety of fatty meats White nephrite jade is most appreciated. The rare colors such as red and so bright yellow, green, black and purple, as well as artistic sculptures, including two sculptures of color (usually white and caramel brown) are also valuable. I hope that helps!

For only by following the Queen Jade’’s perilous, cursed trail can Lola hope to find her vanished mother . . . if it isn”t already too late. |
