Jade in Chinese civilisations holds high value not only as a social marker, but as a symbol of beauty, grace and purity. Jade has held its importance and significance from the Neolithic period until the modern day. When paired with gold, jade would become a symbol of heaven, with long-held associations with the soul and immortality. In antiquity, it was sought after for its strength and hardness, which made it an ideal stone for tools and weaponry. Prized for its beauty, sonorous nature, and durability, jade was also used for dress ornaments, jewellery, decorative art, and ritual objects, believed to have protective qualities. Under the patronage of Qian Long, of the Qing Dynasty, jade carvings enjoyed an unprecedented growth, during a time when China directly controlled the jade-rich regions of Hotan and Yarkland in Central Asia.
