Literary analysis:
In literature, the word "jade" emerges with a rich duality, functioning both as a symbol of precious beauty and as a term charged with irony or even insult. It is often used in a literal sense to depict valuable ornaments or architectural marvels, such as a meticulously carved pendant or majestic walls formed of black and white jade [1, 2, 3]. At the same time, authors employ "jade" as a colloquial epithet for characters whose qualities might be seen as roguish or troublesome, lending a playful, sometimes disparaging tone to their dialogues [4, 5, 6]. Moreover, in many works the term gracefully bridges the material with the spiritual, evoking images of purity and transcendent insight—as illustrated by references to spiritual perception and the exalted status of the Jade Emperor [7, 8, 9]. Thus, its usage encapsulates a spectrum of meanings, from tangible splendor to symbolic commentary on character and fate.
