Chinese jade symbolizes beauty, nobility, hardness, durability and perfection. You can get more information about Chinese jade at the Wikipedia. Once on the website, type "Chinese jade" into the search field at the top of the page and press enter to bring up the information.

My name's Jade, so I think I know a fair amount of this.

Jade is also commonly known as soft jade, or traditional jade. Since the Chinese didn't have jadite until the Qing dynasty, (1271-1368) so they only knew of hard jade and soft jade.

Also, in the Chinese culture, they have a saying about Jade that goes as follows. "Gold has a value, but jade is invaluable." Meaning that Jade in the chinese culture is, well, invaluable.

I hope this works out for you.
