In recent years, with the discovery of relics of the Hongshan, Liangzhu and other cultures in mainland China, there is now evidence that jade culture in China began in the middle to late neolithic age (6000-2000 BC) --a full 3000 years before the time of Huangdi, the generally acclaimed founder of the Chinese nation!
近年來，隨著大陸紅山、良渚文化等發現，可以考據中國的玉器文化形成於新石時代中晚期（從西元前六千到兩千年），比公推的中華民族始祖黃帝，還整整早了三千年！
