漢白玉是一種名貴的建筑材料，它潔白無瑕，內含閃光的晶體，晶瑩透亮，質地堅實而細膩，易于雕刻，古往今來均為名貴建筑的原料，成為千百年來皇宮王府庭院雕刻石材的首選。漢白玉色澤呈乳白色，清雅純凈，卻富有貴氣，以獨有的魅力觸動了世人的神經，頗受人們喜愛。

關于漢白玉名稱的由來，人們眾說紛紜。相傳從中國古代起，多用這種石料制作宮殿的石階和護欄，被歷代人人墨客誦吟誦唱，所謂“玉砌雕欄”華麗如玉，所以稱作漢白玉；也有一種說法是，從我國漢代起就用這種宛若美玉的石材修建宮殿，裝飾廟宇，雕刻佛像，點綴殿堂。

因為是從漢代開始使用這種建筑材料故稱漢白玉；還有一種說法是漢白玉的“漢”字本應就是流汗的“汗”，汗字代表了漢白玉最鮮為人知的一個特征，真正的漢白玉，并非真的潔白無瑕，而是潔白中隱藏著淺淺的紋路，就像是出汗的印記一樣。當然，最為大眾接受的說法是我國從漢代開始就使用這種潔白無瑕的美玉來做建筑材料，人們就順口稱之為漢白玉。

現如今，漢白玉也常用于在人民英雄紀念碑、人民大會堂、毛主席紀念堂等和國家大師級雕刻藝術品上。漢白玉歷經千百年來經久不衰，可見其魅力之大，價值之高。

相傳，早在清代，賞石藏石之風盛行，乾隆帝對奇石、玉石、園林非常崇尚，并雕刻建設了大量漢白玉雕件、漢白玉擺件、漢白玉獅子、漢白玉花幾、漢白玉圓桌、漢白玉花臺、漢白玉將碗罐等，而近幾年來流傳下來的漢白玉作品的市場行情越來越好，拍賣成交報價屢創新高。

特別是近幾年伴隨著圓明園流散文物的回歸，觸發了國人靈敏的神經，藏于挪威卑爾根KODE博物館的7根圓明園漢白玉石柱致使國人對漢白玉的極度注重，中坤投資集團董事長黃怒波花1000萬挪威克朗相當于160萬美元買7根石柱，此舉令人驚嘆的同時，也讓人又一次看到了漢白玉的價值所在。

漢白玉碗，像玉石一樣潤滑細膩。這種材料的漢白玉，從古到今都極為少見。器身上的紋理極為優美，淺浮雕手法層次分明，線條看似簡單，但粗中有細主次分明，流暢而生動；深淺適度的刀法把纏枝花朵葉脈刻畫得栩栩如生，呈現出自然奔放、熱情活潑的藝術效果，仿若一幅畫卷，美得動人心魄。”

當你目光凝視，它溫潤柔和；當你以肌膚觸碰，它堅質清涼。它猶如一位具有無限“正能量”的摯友，時刻感覺悠然自在、清新愉快。對于中國人而言，它有著與生俱來的優雅，既秉賦天地之靈，又承載智慧的結晶。
