I could be something darker. When someone can't recover from intense grief at losing someone they love, they can drown mentally and emotionally into unhealthy obsessions. It seems like his already high love for jade skyrocketed after his wife died. He switched finding love and joy in her to his love for jade, because he needed to. He could have felt lost, and jade became his anchor - as she may have been. Maybe he wanted to put his heart into the stone he thought to be alive via his poetry. He could have all the jade, but he could never have her. All that jade - and even the elusive jadeite - would never be enough to heal him. From what I heard in your telling of this tale, he threw away thousands of lives - thousands of souls with their own hearts and loves - over a pretty rock.
Great Video ! and may i say your jade pendant is incredible. I also love the carved jade ring and earrings that you showcased from Mason Kay, they are truly beautiful! 🤩

Thank you for watching our History of Jade video series! What do you think of Emperor Qianlong?

So the old jade they found in tombs dating back almost 8000 years, would have been high quality nephrite. I love it.
