In the "Zhou Li", there is: "The south of the Red Zhangli Ceremony", that is, the red jade. And Zhang is the shape of the sound, "king" for the shape, "zhang" for the sound, since ancient times, yuzhang is a symbol of power. The "Zhang" character in Dafu Shiding and Zu Xindun is similar to the "Xin" character, which is exactly in the Yin Shang era, and the Chizhang refers to the royal power from the Yin Shang era, but in fact, not only the Chizhang can replace the royal power, and the different colors of the jade zhang can replace the royal power.
Di Xin is the king, Yuzhang is in power, and Di Xin set himself on fire in Lutai, whether he has the intention of being reborn from the fire. There is a legend in the West about the so-called undead bird, and the undead bird can be reborn by bathing in fire, and many of the Western myths and legends we see today have this matter. Whether the source of the rebirth of the West is precisely from the Di Xin of the Yin Shang era.
The history books have: "The winter solstice worships Hao Tian god with Cangbi... On the summer solstice, the emperor is only honored with Huang Zhen, the sun and the moon are honored with Gui, the Eastern Qing Emperor is honored with Qing Gui, the Southern Red Emperor is with Chi Zhang, the Western White Emperor is with Yu Yu, the Northern Black Emperor is xuan huang, the central Yellow Emperor is with Huang Qi, and the worship of Shenzhou and Yue, Zhen, Hai, Du, Tai She, and DaJi all have residences in two Gui. "It can be seen that the different jade Zhang Guishi all refer to it.
And the early jade, there is also a use to ward off evil spirits. For example, the Hongshan culture and Liangzhu cultural sites have unearthed many jade statues of gods and people, which can be seen that jade was used for god worship and religious sacrifice in ancient times. This tradition to the later Spring and Autumn Warring States, there is also the so-called "gentleman without reason, jade does not go to the body", most of the people called gentlemen in that era were princes and nobles, they often wore a series of jade ornaments, and even there was a saying that jade has five virtues and nine virtues, that is, people who are compared with jade.
The combination of real jade and royal power is precisely the jade seal system promoted by Qin Shi Huang, and the history books record: "The emperor seals the jade seal, set up six jade seals, all square inches, and the seal is ranked with small seals, buttons, and silks." "The emperor's seals are all made of good jade, and all the orders of the country can only be enforced with a jade seal seal." After the Qin Dynasty, all dynasties implemented the jade seal system.
The crowns and belts of the emperors and generals have many jade bead accessories, as well as Song Huizong's jade addiction, Yang Guifei's jade zhenxia, and Jia Baoyu's birth with jade, all of which have symbols of jade's royal power and divine power. In many jianghu novels, there are also many records about the power of the Jade Dynasty, such as the jade wrench finger of the exterminator Shi Tai, which represents the authority of the Emei Sect.
And in the "Chinese", there is: "Jade is enough to shelter the Valley, so that there is no flood and drought disaster, then treasure", it can be said that in the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period people advocated the immortal way, jade has become an immortal medicine. There are also so-called jade swallowers who live like jade", and more exaggerated is "eating jade, can soar in the daytime", and there is also the tradition of jade that is indispensable in people's sacrifice activities.
"Baopuzi": "The golden jade is in the Nine Tricks, and the dead are immortal." "What kind of golden jade clothes are completely clothes made of gold and jade." This tradition later became the standard for the princes of Tianzi and was a representative of the supreme royal power. Only those who have supreme power have this enjoyment of the golden jade.
