Description

Hotan Jade is the treasure of the Chinese nation and the national stone of China. In October 2003, after several years of selection of China's "National Jade", Hotan Jade won the title of "Beautiful Jade" and was officially named "China's National Stone" by the China Gem and Jade Association. As early as in the Neolithic Age, the ancestors at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains discovered Hotan Jade and transported and exchanged it to the East and West as a treasure and friendship medium, forming China's oldest Hotan Jade transportation channel, the "Jade Road", which is the predecessor of the "Silk Road". Jade culture is one of the oldest and most representative ancient cultures of Eastern civilization. Jade represents noble character, beauty, and nobility.
