The Emerald Fu Melon is not a melon! How many people don’t know its true meaning?

The Emerald Fu Melon is not a melon! How many people don’t know its true meaning?

Jade is crystal clear and lustrous, its appearance is delicate and gentle, but its essence is both hard and soft, which coincides with the moral realm pursued by a gentleman. People combine jade's hard texture, crystal luster, warm water head, changing colors and carveable properties with the gentleman's five virtues of benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage and purity, so jade has a high humanistic value.

Jade is not only carved into unique shapes and appearances, but also given various auspicious and rich meanings. Among them, the jadeite lucky melon is also one of the most popular styles. Jade lucky melon is also a common theme in jade jewelry, and the name comes from an edible fruit.

Because of its round and full shape and melon-like appearance, people call it the Emerald Lucky Melon.

However, the Emerald Fu Melon is not actually a “melon”.

"Fugua" is homophonic to "Fugua", so the real meaning of jadeite Fugua is to hang good fortune on your body.

Chinese people highly value the concept of good fortune. They believe that if you have good fortune, you can have everything. Therefore, wearing a jade blessing melon on your body is a good omen of happiness and good luck.

Jade lucky melons also have different shapes and their symbolic meanings are also different.

If different shapes are carved and combined with the meaning of the lucky melon, the finished product will be more perfect. Carving the lucky melon into a winter melon means "as blessed as the East Sea"; carving it into a pumpkin means "as long as the Southern Mountains". The lucky melon is often paired with the ruyi, with the "fu" in the fu hanging meaning happiness and good fortune.

The shape of the jadeite lucky melon is simple, but it is unforgettable, which is also related to the exquisite craftsmanship of the jade carver.

It is precisely because of the perfect craftsmanship that the Fugua is vivid and lifelike, with beautiful shapes, that it has a unique charm.

When we choose a jade fortune melon, the first thing we need to look at is the craftsmanship. The quality of the lines will directly affect the beauty of the overall outline of the fortune pendant.

The lines of a high-quality jadeite melon should be smooth and natural, and the texture should be clear and full.

The vine leaves on the lucky melon should be arranged in an orderly manner and have a feeling of natural growth. Only in this way can the jade lucky melon products be natural, smooth and full of vitality.

The height of the curvature of the lucky melon is also important. If it is too high, it will appear abrupt; if it is too low, it will appear flat and cannot highlight the water head of the jadeite.

Therefore, we should choose products with round and upright "melons".
