- Symbolism: The Color of Green Gemstones represents money, prosperity, employment, fertility, healing, and growth. It is the color of the element of the earth and symbolic of the planet's fertility and life. Green is soothing, refreshing and calming. Pale and medium greens connect with nature. Green denotes the season of spring, youth and vigor. In China, the Calligraphy Character of Ai translates to "Love." The traditional Chinese character for love consists of a heart (middle) inside of "accept," "feel," or "perceive," which shows a graceful emotion. It can also be interpreted as a hand offering ones heart to another hand. The concept of Ai was developed by the Chinese philosopher Mozi in the 4th century BC in reaction to Confucianism's benevolent love. Mozi tried to replace what he considered to be the long-entrenched Chinese over-attachment to family and clan structures with the concept of "Universal Love" (Jian'ai). In this, he argued directly against Confucians who believed that it was natural and correct for people to care about different people in different degrees. Mozi, by contrast, believed people in principle should care for all people equally. Mohism stressed that rather than adopting different attitudes towards different people, love should be unconditional and offered to everyone without regard to reciprocation, not just to friends, family and other Confucian relations. Later in Chinese Buddhism, the term Ai was adopted to refer to a "passionate caring love" and was considered a fundamental desire. In Buddhism, Ai was seen as capable of being either selfish or selfless, the latter being a key element towards enlightenment. In contemporary Chinese, Ai is often used as the equivalent of the Western concept of "love." Ai is used as both a verb (Wo ai ni, or "I love you") and a noun (such as Aiqing, or "romantic love"). However, due to the influence of Confucian Ren, the phrase "Wo ai ni" (I love you) carries with it a very specific sense of responsibility, commitment and loyalty. Instead of frequently saying "I love you" as in some Western societies, the Chinese are more likely to express feelings of affection in a more casual way. Consequently, "I like you" (Wo xihuan ni) is a more common way of expressing affection in Chinese; it is more playful and less serious. The Chinese are also more likely to say "I love you" in English or other foreign languages. Jade generates divine unconditional love, assists one in being in touch with ones desires and building the bridges to create dreams into reality.
