Why Prince Lui Sheng wanted to be buried in a Jade Suit (Culture/Religion)

Lui Sheng talked to the government officials about when he died he wanted to be buried inside the beautiful jade suit because he thought that with something that has such beauty deserves to buried with him. A jade is a beautiful, durable stone which seems to glow when it is highly polished. It's colors range from dark brownish green to very pale, greenish white. It's Chinese name (yu) means "The fairest of stones."

There was a women that was asked about the situation and she replied, "Yes, I was right there to see Lui Sheng saying he wanted to be buried with the jade suit and i think that he also is correct about it being worthy of his excellence.

One of the government officials had a completely different reply, "Prince Lui Sheng didn't actually say that he was going to be buried with the jade suit. He just said that he would consider it unless he could find something that was more beautiful and expensive than the jade suit."

There was a final witness that had been seen of what happened and said, "I know prince Lui Sheng even considered or said that he would even be buried with the jade when he would pass away. All that he was talking about was how that they were going to help the economy of our dynasty."

Even though a lot of different people had their own comments and opinions, nobody ever knew if Lui Sheng was buried in the jade suit or not. And these were the things that Prince Lui Sheng might ave said about his death.
