The earliest term for jade was a bird name, with red feathers for males and green feathers for females. Some merchants in Taiwan believe that red is jade and green is emerald. In another way, “Jade” means “non-cui” to distinguish China’s Xinjiang Hetian jade (known as jade), because the color of jade is more colorful than that of Hetian jade, so it is “Jade”.
Ancient Chinese jade was dominated by white Hetian jade. During Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, Burmese jade flowed into China in large quantities, which caused a large increase in green jade. With the love of Empress Dowager Cixi, jade became popular from the palace to the people. As for why it is called jadeite, there are many opinions. Some people say that in the late Qing Dynasty, in order to distinguish the difference between Burmese jade and Chinese jade, the jade shipped from Burma was referred to as “Ficui” (non-Chinese jade). After arriving in Beijing, the Beijing accent became “Jade”.
In the mainland, Burmese jade of various colors can be called jade. However, in the minds of consumers in Taiwan, only clear and green Burmese jade can be called jade. This is the difference in consumer perception on both sides of the strait. Nowadays, the consumption of jadeite has a tendency to surpass that of Hetian jade. Whether in terms of sales volume or consumption amount, the term jadeite is accepted academically or commercially. The origin of jadeite is mainly Burma. Other places of origin include Russia, Guatemala, Japan and other countries, but in terms of quality and output, Burmese jadeite will never be replaced.
