Wearing jade on the feet is for beauty and health care.
China has a long history of jade health care. It is recorded in "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" and "Compendium of Materia Medica" that jade can "remove moderate heat, relieve restlessness, support the voice and throat, nourish hair, nourish the five internal organs, and soothe the soul. It has many effects such as soothing blood vessels and improving eyesight and ears. In addition to being worn, played with, and used as massage tools, jade articles are also used for consumption. Some scholars believe that there are many jade articles in ancient times, but they are rare in the world. This may be related to the rise of Taoism in the Han Dynasty and people began to eat jade scraps. It is estimated that many ancient jade articles were smashed and eaten by the ancients.

2. Jade should avoid exposure to sunlight. Prevent affecting the texture and color of jade.
3. Avoid chemical agents. Chemical agents will cause certain damage to jade, such as various detergents, soaps, pesticides, cosmetics, perfumes, hair conditioners, etc. If it accidentally gets on it, it should be wiped off immediately and cleaned to prevent it from causing damage to the jade.
