The Order of Brilliant Jade is a civilian order of the Republic of China that can be worn only by the head of a nation. According to regulations, the order can only be presented by the president of the country or an emissary expressly dispatched to friendly nations for the conferment. The order was instituted in 1933.^[1] It has a star-patterned face of inlaid jade bordered with gold and pearls. In the centre there is white sun surrounded by blue sky, the national emblem.^[2] Previously, the Order of the Brilliant Jade was divided into two, namely Grand Order of Brilliant Jade (current) and Order of Brilliant Jade with nine ranks.

Controversy and suggestions to rename

The Chinese official name of the order《采玉大勳章》was claimed to be named after President Chiang Kai-Shek's mother, Wang Caiyu （王采玉）by Democratic Progressive Party members of Legislative Yuan, and there are suggestions from the pan-green coalition to rename the order to suit Taiwanese locality as "Order of Taiwan" but not passed at the Legislative Yuan as opposed by Kuomintang in April 2007. ^[3]
