During the Tang and Song dynasties, jujube-red horses were considered fine steeds. Guan Gong's Red Hare horse was a jujube-red steed. Jujube-red horses were known for their endurance and loyalty, thus the color jujube red also acquired associations with loyalty and reliability.

In Ming and Qing furniture, jujube red is one of the natural colors of hardwoods. After polishing, redwoods like rosewood and sourwood present a deep, warm jujube red tone. The literati class favored this subtle and restrained wood color.
