1. The spiritual elevation and cultural creation of Hetian jade by Confucian culture.
The reason why Hetian jade has remained popular and cherished throughout history, apart from its unique material properties and advantages that other types of jade do not possess, lies in a deeper cause: the cultural and spiritual values attached to Hetian jade. Hetian jade is an important material carrier of China's cultural spirit and values. Due to the dominant political status of Confucian culture as the mainstream ideology in China's long feudal society, Confucian culture has had the most profound and significant influence on jade culture.
