For example, in the era of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, there was a saying that "jade blooms, jade blooms" in The Journey to the West of Bangu, and there was also a saying that "jade blooms, jade is beautiful" in The Journey to the West of Zhang Heng.

He thought it was a good place for geomantic omen, so he decided to build a city nearby and named it Meng Gong, which means that according to this inference, this is the earliest discovery time of jadeite.
