The Gold-Swallowing Beast: A Cultural Symbol with Dual Meanings

1. Protecting the Home and Business: In traditional culture, the red skin symbolizes the virtue of fire. Combined with the beast's majestic form, this creates the image of "using fire to overcome evil." Ancient people believed this type of jade could dispel negative energy and protect the home.

2. Attracting Wealth and Treasure: The beast's large mouth and rounded body embody the philosophy of "holding wealth without losing it." The intense red skin color is considered a symbol of "gathering wealth," making it a suitable item for merchants.

3. Protecting Health: The warming properties of jade combined with the vibrant red skin evoke the philosophy of "jade nourishes the body, fire protects the body," making it a suitable protective jade ornament for elders or children.

In terms of market value, the red-skinned seed-material Gold-Swallowing Beast, due to its rare skin color and cultural significance, has become a popular collector's item. Based on current market estimates, the price of a similar quality red-skinned seed material rough stone exceeds 10,000 yuan per gram, and the price of a finished product carved by a renowned artist can double that.

This Hetian seed material, embodying the rarity of its red skin, exquisite craftsmanship, and profound meaning, represents an epic of Eastern culture written in jade. It is not only a fusion of nature and humanity, but also a cultural legacy spanning millennia, bearing witness to the Chinese people's eternal pursuit of "auspiciousness, wealth, and peace."
