Walking into Gold
On Friday, March 20, we went to the South Gate Street. The first jade shop we visited was the biggest exclusive shop for Kunlun Jade - - Exquisite Jade. There, we saw many Kunlun Jades with interesting propitious names for each piece. For instance: Making steady progress, the nabobism, the multi-children, generations of fortune, the luck and the luck forever. These represent the deep meaning of jade culture which features propitiousness and great fortune. We also saw the rare Kunlun Jade, as the violet jade, the soy-and-sugar jade. Out our expectation, there was Kunlun jade which specialized for the use of Olympic medals. This really was an accidental big harvest! Introduced through warm-hearted salesgirl, we were informed that the Kunlun Jade belongs to the nephrite. A proverb goes like this: wearing jade makes a healthy man and is good for both the young and the old. We also noticed how salespersons extremely carefully maintained the jade with special brush or a special cloth. We moved on to the next jade shop with very interesting name- Yushengkun, which aroused our curiosity. After inquiring the salesgirl, we got the meaning: The beautiful jade comes from in Kunlun Mountains. Through one-day tour, we felt the profoundness and the greatness of Kunlun Jade! We learned a lot.
