The jade Fuwa set comprises five Fuwa figurines of jade and one jade ruyi piece, a Chinese ornamental object that symbolizes good luck. Hetian jade from the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, considered China's "national jade," is used for the jade Fuwa and ruyi, and each piece in the set is a different color.
