Who has a story about jade?

1. Legend has it that Lu Zigang, a master of Suzhou jade carving, was called to work in Beijing by the censor during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Zong Shen has long heard that Lu Zigang is good at carving jade, and he has a "bad habit": he often signs his own jade. As a craftsman, this is a "deviant" move, and it is not allowed to make royal vessels. The emperor not only wanted to collect all the treasures in the world, but also wanted to safeguard his dignity, so he decided to try Lu Subnet and ordered him to carve a jade pot with a piece of suet white jade, but he was not allowed to sign it. A few days later, Liu Zigang presented the carved jade pot, and Emperor Zongshen carefully fiddled with it. Sure enough, the jade pot is "as bright as water, as loud as a rock, and there is no cloud in Wan Li". Zongshen searched the jade pot thoroughly, but without Lu Zigang's signature, he smiled, praised it, gave him gold and silver and told him to go back. Later, Zongshen became suspicious again and was afraid of what Lu Zigang had done. He carefully checked the jade pot again and again. At this time, a ray of sunshine shone into the bedroom from the window, just on the jade pot. Zong Shen suddenly found a word "Zigang" on the mouth of the pot! God was furious, but he couldn't break his word to Liu Zigang, who had praised him, and he couldn't bear to damage this exquisite jade pot, so he had to give up. Lu Zigang risked his life to protect the dignity of jade carving artists and obtained the right to autograph. Perhaps this is why Lu Zitong enjoys a high reputation among many jade carving masters throughout the ages. The most famous jade in the world, and also the most legendary jade in the history of China, is the "Stone Jade". Every time it changes hands, it is accompanied by a bloody fight. More than 2680 years ago, a man named Bian He found a rough jade from the mountain and presented it to the king twice. Both of them were regarded as cheating and their feet were cut off successively. Later, when the new king ascended the throne, Bian He wept bitterly at the foot of the mountain. He said, "I'm not sad because my foot was cut off, but because I'm obviously Baoyu and still insist that I'm a waste stone." I am an honest man, but I am considered a liar. I am uncomfortable because of humiliation! " . The king was moved, which made people carve the essence and get Baoyu. This is the most famous and legendary piece of jade in the history of China. More than 300 years later, "He Shibi" fell into the hands of Zhao Haoqi Huiwen. Qin Zhaowang, the great-grandfather of Qin Shihuang, heard the news and said that he was even willing to exchange with 15 City. Lin Xiangru sent Bi to see Qin Gong, but the king of Qin broke his promise. He tactfully took back Bi and tried to bring it back to Zhao. The weak Zhao didn't keep Choi, but it was still won by the Qin Dynasty. After Qin Shihuang destroyed Zhao, he carved it into a jade seal, hoping to protect his dynasty with this treasure jade. This is the first imperial seal in the history of China. Since then, emperors of all dynasties have attached great importance to this national seal, thinking that only by getting this national seal can it become the only one. However, this rare treasure suddenly disappeared and there is still no trace. The system of taking jade as seal remained until the last dynasty in China. In ancient times, when a pair of beautiful white phoenixes were soaring in the sky, they heard sad voices from time to time. When they looked down, they found that the world was suffering from locusts, crops were not harvested, and people complained. Seeing this scene, the phoenix immediately flew down from the sky to eliminate the plague of locusts, and went to the Queen Mother of the West to bring jade liquid and nectar to the world and revive everything. After a hard struggle, Phoenix became attached to this place, so it chose Kangshanling at the top of the mountain and built the Phoenix swamp to live in. Soon, the rocks around the Phoenix swamp became white and transparent, just like white jade, hence the name Yuyan Mountain. One day, a lion came to the mountain. At first, Phoenix regarded it as a distinguished guest and received the lion with great courtesy. No, the lion offered to drive away the phoenix and occupy the phoenix marsh. How could Phoenix agree? So there was a duel between the two sides. The lion thinks he is the "king of beasts" and doesn't care about the phoenix at all. Phoenix, the divine bird, soars in the sky for a while and stays on the ground for a while, making the heavy lion breathless. Suddenly a white light fell from the sky, and before the lion understood what was going on, the phoenix pecked into the lion's head like a sword. The lion was very painful and flew into a rage. He wanted to eat the phoenix in one bite, but the phoenix had grown up and flew back to heaven. The lion became angry from embarrassment, but there was nothing he could do. Suddenly, he saw the golden pheasant watching the battle, thinking that golden pheasant and phoenix were accomplices, and they could not eat phoenix or golden pheasant. So the fierce lion swooped down and the golden pheasant could not escape. A thigh entered the lion's maw and became a "golden pheasant with one leg", and blood splashed all over Yuyan Mountain. Phoenix saw it and flew down from the sky. I walked around Yuyan Mountain, constantly stirring the beautiful wind tail. The wound on the lion's head hurt Yulie, and he finally fell to the ground and died. Phoenix gave Yuyan Mountain to the one-legged golden pheasant and flew back to heaven. The original jadeite stone splashed by the blood of golden pheasant has become a crystal clear and red gem, and people have called these gems "bloodstone" since then. Up to now, people in Yuyan Mountain still deeply miss the phoenix that helped them eliminate the plague of locusts and restore their lives. People built a "Baihua Pavilion" in Yuyan Mountain to commemorate it. According to folklore, collecting bloodstone will bring good luck, and people can hide it to promote family and ward off evil spirits; The emperor hid it, which can make the country safe. Among the official hats of the Qing Dynasty, the highest rank is represented by the red top of Hualing. Bloodstone red once replaced coral red and agate red as the highest flower decoration, which shows that bloodstone was valuable at that time. Over the past century, Changhua bloodstone has been cherished and collected by literati, businessmen, dignitaries and even emperors.
