The emergence of Chinese jade has a history of seven or eight thousand years. In the minds of the ancients, jade is
the essence of mountains and rivers, which can communicate with the heaven and earth, eliminate evil and obscure knowledge. Good or bad, the Chinese have a strong tradition of worshiping jade since ancient times. The ancients gave jade a lot of spiritual connotation, so jade culture also forms an important part of traditional Chinese culture. In addition to being a delicacy in people's diet, fish is also a homophonic word for "yu", so the ancients loved to use fish to express good wishes, and used jade fish as ornaments to show wealth, abundance every year, and good luck. Jade fish is one of the more common images in jade articles. It was a very important jade ornament in ancient times. The production of ancient jade fish has a long history and can be traced back to the late Neolithic period. The existence of jade fish in the early period reflected the natural conditions of people's production and life and the worship of the animal kingdom. In the later period, it symbolized material wealth and the pursuit of a better life. There are not many jade fish from the Neolithic Age, and only sporadic discoveries have been made from the Liangzhu Culture in the Taihu Basin of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Hongshan Culture in the western Liaohe River Basin.
