Among all auspicious animals, it is considered the longest-lived. Consequently, in Feng Shui, the Dragon Tortoise symbolizes health and longevity. Families with elderly members often place a Dragon Tortoise in their homes, believing it can enhance well-being and longevity, as well as attract wealth. For seniors, it is thought to be beneficial for their physical and mental health. Furthermore, placing a Dragon Tortoise in the designated area for progeny is believed in Feng Shui to gather auspicious energy, bring blessings, and promote the birth and growth of descendants. 2. **Dispelling Disputes and Petty Villains**: In Feng Shui, the righteous and dignified presence of the Dragon Tortoise is highly effective in resolving disputes and warding off malicious individuals. By analyzing an individual's birth chart and the direction of the annual "Three Red Stars," the Dragon Tortoise can be strategically placed to counteract negative influences. Positioning the tail of the Dragon Tortoise towards an inauspicious direction can strengthen one's aura, mitigate petty slander and disasters, promote peace of mind, stabilize emotions, and foster a calm work environment. 3. **Symbol of Status and Position**: The Dragon Tortoise has historically been regarded as a symbol of honor and status. In ancient times, powerful officials and nobles would incorporate the Dragon Tortoise motif in the construction of their tombs. Thus, the Dragon Tortoise has always symbolized rapid advancement and success in one's career. https://img.zcool.cn/community/015huebebkimbtl55z9upr3338.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp 【Details】: ▼▼ https://img.zcool.cn/community/01gufbxh3nz8szkgbc4vrb3238.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp https://img.zcool.cn/community/01b3mwh2gryc959scyxjpl3331.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp https://img.zcool.cn/community/01sy0gvmvnyjltyd7wumal3536.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp https://img.zcool.cn/community/01lpghtvxh7eiez9wjjqhi3334.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp 【Important Note 1】: Please check the dimensions carefully!

Hetian Jade, one of China's "Four Great Famous Jades," traditionally refers to jade originating from the Hetian region of Xinjiang, with "seedlings" from Hetian being world-renowned. In a broader sense, Hetian Jade refers to nephrite (true jade). During the unification of China by Qin Shi Huang, Hetian Jade, produced in the Kunlun Mountains, was known as "Kunshan Jade." Later, due to its location within the "Yutian Kingdom," it was called "Yutian Jade." It was only officially named "Hetian Jade" in the 9th year of the Guangxu Emperor's reign (1883), when the Hetian Directly Governed Prefecture was established. Although Hetian Jade is named after Hetian in Xinjiang, it is not a geographical concept. It does not exclusively refer to jade from the Xinjiang Hetian region but is a product category. In China, stones with a tremolite content of over 98% are classified as Hetian Jade and fall under national standards. Therefore, regardless of whether it is produced in Xinjiang, Qinghai, Liaoning, Russia, Canada, or Korea, if its main component is tremolite, it can be called Hetian Jade. Hetian Jade comes in a rich variety of colors, including white, cyan, gray, light to dark green, yellow to brown, and black. Hetian Jade is a metamorphic rock formed by the contact metasomatism between magnesian marble and intermediate-acidic magmatic rocks. It contains aggregates of minerals such as tremolite, actinolite, and paragasite. Its chemical composition is hydrous calcium magnesium silicate, with the chemical formula Ca2(Mg,Fe)5[Si8O22](OH)2. Its density ranges from 2.95-3.17, and its Mohs hardness is between 6.0-6.5. The primary structure of Hetian Jade is metamorphic. This includes felt-like cryptocrystalline metamorphic structure, microfibrous-cryptocrystalline metamorphic structure, microfibrous honeycomb metamorphic structure, microplate-cryptocrystalline metamorphic structure, microplate metamorphic structure, and micro-radial (brush-like) metamorphic structure. Less common structures include residual filament structure and replacement coronite structure. While the mineral grains in Hetian Jade exhibit some orientation, it is not strong. Occasional grains show undulatory extinction and plastic deformation. These indicate that the stress intensity during metamorphism was within the elastic limit of the minerals. The main textures of Hetian Jade include massive and platy structures, with massive textures being more common.

With our own hands and wisdom, we polish it, adorn it, infuse it with soul and thought, and bestow upon it individuality and style. Every piece of jade should have its story – the story it carries from its origin and its aspirations for the future. This, perhaps, is the vitality of jade. Regardless of the elements or themes involved, I aim to be grounded in the present, to document this era, and to tell its story through my own artistic language, hoping to resonate with more people. https://img.zcool.cn/community/01qoqk0q3l34w5dwrcjj8g3135.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/format,webp/quality,q_100
