Jade was introduced to China from the Han Dynasty. According to historical records, as early as in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yongyuan 9 years, Yunnan Yongchang proud of the outside and the king of the 雍 调 调 调 调 调 调 调 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。. This is the first time that Myanmar jade has entered China. Laos, the Pagan area in the dense area of ​​northwestern Myanmar.

Since the Han Dynasty, Ruili has become a major town in China's jade trade exchange with Myanmar. At that time, starting from Chengdu, Sichuan, Yibin entered Zhaotong in Yunnan, and went to Dehong’s sister-in-law to go to Burma’s Mujie, Nankan to Pagan and then to Central Asia. The other was from Dehongying. Jiangxian Tongbiguan entered the Micho Napa area of ​​Burma, and then went directly to India and Central and Western Asia to form a “Southern Silk Road”. This "Southern Silk Road" is several hundred years earlier than the "Northern Silk Road." At that time, along this "dangerous road", the caravans and elephants were in a constant stream, and a large amount of jade wool was trafficked.

During the nearly 500 years from the Ming Dynasty to the late Anti-Japanese War, the jade wool mined in Myanmar was almost transported to Ruili and Tengchong, and only a part of it was polished on site. Then the soldiers are divided into three roads, some of which are eastward, passing through Dali and Kunming; some are from Yibin, Sichuan to Chengdu, or from Yibin via the Yangtze River, and then exported to the mainland and the coast; some are transported to Dongpu, Chiang Mai, Thailand. At that time, jade was not only a treasure of the Kingdom of the Kingdom, but also a tribute to the Western Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. At that time, these jewels and jade articles could not be traded as general commodities. These rare green stones, called the jasper in the Ming Dynasty, and the Yongsheng County in the west of the dynasty. China’s Wang Sun aristocrats are regarded as different treasures, competing to wear decorations and become the division of the rich and the poor. Some also use jade to decorate and distinguish the official level. Until the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Chinese emperor sent eunuchs to Yongchuan County, Sichuan Province, to purchase jewelry and jade. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zong Tianqi’s "Zhi Zhi" contained: "The official gave the money, and the people received the gem into the official." The official and private cooperation enabled a large number of jadeites to enter China at that time.

In summary, the Burmese jadeite production area, Pagan was once the jurisdiction of the Yi Dynasty. In history, Ruili is both the source of Chinese jadeite and the main channel and distribution center for jadeite entering China.
