It is at least 8,000years ago, the jade was regarded as the prodigy. The jade object is not only the symbol of social position but also reflects traditional Chinese moral standard. People entrust jade a lot of virtues, which affects the generations of China. In Chinese dictionary, there are many idioms with the word ¡°jade¡±. And nearly all of them are commendatory term such as ¡°rather be a broken piece of jade than a whole tile-better to die in glory tan live in dishonor¡±, ¡°jade cannot be made into anything without being cut and polished-one cannot become useful without being educated¡±.

There is a allusion which can show the position of the jade in Chinese culture-Return the Jade Intactly to the State of Zhao. The state of Chu had a piece of precious jade called Heshibi which belonged to ZhaoHuiwen wang. QinZhao wang heard it and wondered to change the jade with his 15 cities. LinXiangru-the subordinates of ZhaoHuiwen wang said he would like to go to the state of Qin. If they got the cities, he would leave the jade in the state of Qin, whereas he would return the jade intactly to the state of Zhao. QinZhao wang was very happy when saw the jade which LinXiangru presented, but it seemed that he didn¡¯t want to give cities to the state of Zhao. Then LinXiangru lied and said there was flaw on the jade and wanted to show it to him. So he brought the jade back.He stood beside the post of the hall and said, ¡°Zhao wang worried that you did not give the cities to us after you got the jade due to your strong power. Zhao wang abstained from meat and wine for five days for respecting. But you don¡¯t have good faith at all. If you want to seize this jade, I¡¯d rather bump against the post with the jade.¡± QinZhaowang had no way so he agreed to give the state of Zhao 15 cities. LinXiangru thought that QinZhao wang just pretended to be honest, so he put forward that QinZhao wang should also abstain the meat and wine for five days and then they exchange. QinZhaowang agreed. Then Linxiangru sent his suite went back to the state of Zhao with the jade. Five days later, LinXiangru told QinZhaowang what had happened.
