No form of「瑞」has been found in oracle bone script.
In bronze script,「瑞」combines「玉」(jade) and「耑」, originally referring to jade ritual objects used as tokens of trust.
In seal script,「瑞」has「玉」on the left and「耑」on the right. The 'Shuowen' explains: 'Rui means to use jade as a token of trust.' It later extended to mean auspicious signs — heavenly omens of good fortune.
The transformation of「瑞」from jade tokens of trust to auspicious omens reflects the Chinese cultural tradition of associating all things beautiful with jade. 'Auspicious snow foretells a bountiful year' and 'auspicious air and lucky clouds' are both classic expressions of good fortune.
