An allusion
The phrase "having eyes but failing to recognize gold and jade" is a popular saying in China, and is often used as a metaphor for shallow knowledge and a lack of ability to recognize things. However, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find this proverb quite puzzling.
"Gold and jade" originally refers to a special gold and jade processing technology (i.e., inlaid in gold on a variety of jade), and sometimes also refers to the use of this processing technology made of gold and jade objects. For example: The Plum in the Golden Vase, 20th time: "The rest and then play a piece for me, according to the gold and jade Goddess of Mercy full of pools of delicate distractions worn on the front of his damsel." Seventy-two: "Lin's and early wearing a head full of beads and emeralds, wearing a big red robe with sleeves, waist tie gold inlaid jasper belt, under the Xuan brocade hundred flowers skirt." This "gold and jade" artifacts was originally very easy to recognize, how people will "have eyes not to recognize" it?
In fact, to trace the roots, "have eyes but do not know gold inlaid jade" this proverb is by "have eyes but do not know Jingshan jade" harmonic blackmail. The saying "you can't recognize Jing Mountain Jade" is from Han Fei Zi - He's: During the Spring and Autumn Period, Bian He, a Chu man, saw a phoenix landing on a piece of green stone in Jing Mountain (located in present-day Nanzhang County, Hubei Province). Since people at that time believed that the phoenix would not land in a place without treasure, Bian He thought that the phoenix had landed on a green stone. So, Bian He decided that there must be some precious jade in that piece of green stone, and offered it to King Li of Chu. King Li of Chu ordered the jade worker to recognize it, but the jade worker said it was just a stone. King Li of Chu was furious and ordered to cut off Bian He's left foot. After the death of King Li of Chu, King Wu of Chu succeeded to the throne, and Bian He went to offer the treasure again. King Wu of Chu again ordered a jade worker to identify it, but the jade worker still said it was just a stone. So, Bian He lost his right foot again for the crime of deceiving the king. After the death of King Wu of Chu, King Wen of Chu succeeded to the throne. Bian He hugged the jade and wept bitterly under the mountain of Chu until his tears ran out and blood dripped from his eyes. When King Wen of Chu heard about this, he felt very strange, so he sent someone to ask him, "There are many people in the world who were tortured and had their feet cut off, why are you so sad?" Bian He replied, "What I am sad about is not having my feet cut off, but the fact that beautiful jade is treated as stone and loyal men are treated as liars." Upon hearing this, King Wen of Chu ordered the jade worker to cut open the jade and found that it was really a rare piece of precious jade inside. Later, in order to emphasize the name of Bianhe, King Wen of Chu named the jade "He Shi Bi". Because He Shi Bik comes from Jing Mountain, so later people also called "Jing Mountain Jade", such as the Three Kingdoms - Cao Zhi "and Yang Zu De book" that there is a sentence in the cloud: "Everyone said that they hold the pearl of the snake, family said that they hold the Jade of Jing Mountain."
As the story of Bianhe's jade offering was widely circulated in the later generations, "having eyes but not recognizing the jade of Jingshan" became a well-known proverbial allusion with the circulation of the story. For example, in the twenty-first chapter of "The Plum in the Golden Vase", "I, Simon Qing, was in a moment of ignorance, and did not know your good advice, and failed to live up to your good intentions, and it was precisely 'having eyes but not recognizing the jade of the Jing Mountain', and looking at it as if it were a stubborn stone."
After the Ming Dynasty, perhaps because people feel that the "Jingshan Jade" is not popular enough, and the allusions involved are not clear to everyone, the word "Jingshan Jade" in the colloquialisms is gradually being pronounced as "Gold and Jade", and "Gold and Jade", the word "Jingshan Jade". The word "jinxiangyu" in this proverb was gradually replaced by the similarly pronounced "gold and jade", and the phrase "having eyes but not recognizing gold and jade" was thus spread in the folklore by blackmail.
Production process
"Gold inlaid jade" is also known as gold-plated tin inlaid process, that is, in jade, ceramics, alabaster, glaze and other artifacts on the surface of the tin wrapped in gold process title.

Legend has it that after Wang Mang usurped the throne, coerced the Empress Dowager to hand over the jade seal, the Empress Dowager in a fit of rage will be the jade seal on the ground, chipped off a corner. Later, Wang Mang ordered the skilled craftsmen to carry out renovation, with gold inlaid with the missing corner, known as "gold inlaid with jade seal", "gold inlaid with jade" will thus get its name. "Gold inlaid jade" process on a "set" word, to rely on continuous hammering, the gold wire or gold inlaid into the pattern.
The technique of gold inlaid with jade was first seen in the Qing Dynasty during the Qianlong period, and was brought to the Central Plains by Qianlong's favorite concubine Xiang Fei, and was gradually lost at the end of the Qing Dynasty. At that time by the foreign tribute to the jade, some of the Islamic style of "traces of Dustan" jade which has a few pieces of gold inlaid jade.
