Can anyone tell me more about this Ming dynasty Jade & Jade bracelet ?It has something to do with ZhuYuanZhag?
Few years ago, someone sold a jade and a jade bracelet, said that he found it buried somewhere, the jade looks quite old , so as the bracelet it is green with brownish red colour on it , the jade has something carved in the front “富贵明朝长命 朱元璋” at the back , there is an old man with a long beard and a dragon . The jade bracelet also has a dragon carved on the outer part, In the inside, it also carved “富贵明朝长命 朱元璋”. I wanted to knw more so i served in the net , and If im not mistaken , the old man at the back is Ce Zhang. And i need to know who he is
– The Ming and Qing Dynasties witnessed the prosperity of jade culture, during which period wearing jade pedants was in a vogue among the general public. The dignitaries would wear jade ornament on the hat brim, jade pedants and hangers around the girdle, and jade buckles on the shoes – jade wares almost all over the body. And the ordinary people would usually wear jade bracelet, jade rings, and jade ear rings.
The raw materials for jade pedants are mainly celadonish jade, white jade and yellow jade, among which the suet white jade produced at Hetian, in present-day Xinjiang Uygar Autonomous Region, was the most precious. As for the yellow jade, it was not cheap, anyhow. Emerald was introduced to China in the early Qing Dynasty. It was usually used for producing small articles such as ring face and ear rings due to its small size.More…………
http://arts.cultural-china.com/en/32Arts230.html ——— Hongwu Emperor October 21, 1328 – June 24, 1398), known variably by his given name Zhu Yuanzhang and by the temple name Taizu of the Ming was the founder and first emperor (1368–98) of the Ming Dynasty of China. His era name, Hongwu, means “great military power”. Zhu Yuanzhang was born in 1328 in a village in Haozhou as the youngest of four sons.[5] His family were poor peasants and he grew up under conditions of great hardship. Because his family did not have enough food, several of his siblings were “given away” by his parents. When he was 16 a terrible disaster struck, the Yellow River broke its banks and flooded the lands where his family was living. In short order both his parents died as well as his siblings and he was left destitute. He found shelter in a local Buddhist monastery. Zhu’s life in the monastery did not last long as the monastery also ran out of money and he was forced to leave it.
The next several years were hard. He traveled, he begged for food, and he saw firsthand the troubles of the people. After some three years he returned to the monastery and stayed there till he was about 24 years old. He learned to read and write during his time with the Buddhist monks. In later years, while he remained sympathetic to Buddhism, he himself did not become a Buddhist. The Mongol army, out trying to destroy a local rebellion, burned Zhu’s monastery down
In the middle of the 1300s, with famine and plagues and peasant revolts sweeping across China, Zhu became a leader of an army that conquered China, ending the Yuan Dynasty and forcing the Mongols to retreat to the Mongolian steppes. With his seizure of the Yuan capital Dadu (present-day Beijing), he claimed the Mandate of Heaven and established the Ming Dynasty in the year 1368.
