Modern fake antique jade is a means of rapid aging to make its appearance similar to excavated ancient jade, which seriously disrupts the orderly development of the collection market. This occurs because the current identification method is still based on traditional ophthalmic identification, which relies too much on the subjective consciousness of the appraiser. At present, scientific and technological testing and identification has become an important part of cultural relics identification, and promoting the development of jade non-destructive scientific and technological identification can continuously improve the jade identification system. In view of this, we discussed the application methods and feasibility of nondestructive scientific and technological identification in the four aspects of traditional ophthalmic identification: material identification, qualitative change characteristic identification, exogenous substance identification, and process trace identification. We found that non-destructive technology identification has broad prospects for development in the field of jade identification.
