Jade in Chinese character is a combination of beauty and purity and has been long associated for long life and good health in Chinese culture. Almost all Hongkongers own jade as their lucky charm and for a few who are still lingering on old beliefs, newborns receive amulets of jade from their grandmas based on their zodiac signs and computation of the Chinese almanac.
