Chiyu is confused with agate in historical changes and actual circulation. After liberation, archaeology flourished, and many excavated tombs of the Warring States period showed red and yellow jade ritual vessels, which were unknown to the world, so they were named "Red Agate of the Warring States Period".
Fortunately, with the development of archaeology and the prosperity of collectors, people gradually realize the unique aesthetic feeling of red, that is, red jade.
But at the same time, Xuanhua Egg Agate, which appeared in the market of Warring States Red in the early days as "Mongolia and Liao", now calls itself "Shanggu Warring States Red" and calls itself Warring States Red in some forms similar to Warring States Red, regardless of history or documentary evidence.

Dr. Lovel of the American Museum of Natural History thinks in 19 13 "An Examination of Oriental Turquoise" that the "fire jade" or "ruby" here (according to the records of the later Han Dynasty) "is the so-called black flint today, which is almost named after a volcano, and black flint is also a kind of volcanic stone." Du Yang Miscellany refers to a flammable tripod. Today, black flint is easy to melt, forming a porous black gray fog, which is close to Italy. "
Two American orientalists misunderstood "Huoyu" because they didn't understand the context in which China ancients described Huoyu as red as fire.

Ancient books recorded the Red Yu Di.
Taiping Yu Lan quoted Liangzhou Ji as saying: In July 346, Zhang Jun, the former king of Liangguo in Northwest China, died and was buried in the Wuling Mausoleum. More than 50 years later, the Daling was stolen and shocked the world. King Hou Liang ordered the arrest of the thief. After the thief Juan Kun was brought to justice, he found a batch of rare treasures.
Among them are real pearl curtain foil, mica screen, glazed vase, white jade vase, three liters of flowers, red Yu Di, purple Yu Di, coral whip, agate clock and golden bell. Although their whereabouts were unknown after the fifth century, they are still talked about by people because of their legendary status as "national treasures among national treasures". Obviously, rubies are not enough for oral sex.
