Royal treasures - Hetian Yellow Jade

Yellow Jade is one of the important species of Hetian Jade. In ancient times, because of the homonym between Yellow Jade and "emperor", the output was extremely scarce. The value of Yellow Jade once exceeded that of sheep fat white jade, which became the exclusive object of Royal nobility.

He ranked Ganhuang as the first among the jade, while sheep fat jade was only the second. The Qing Dynasty's Qing Secret Collection also mentioned in Lunyu that "the most important color of jade is red as cockscomb, yellow as chestnut steamed, white as fat cut, ink as paint dotted..." Yellow Jade is also ranked in front of Yangzhiyu, which shows the historical status of Yellow Jade.
