Small but exquisite, jade Ruyi

Small but exquisite, jade Ruyi

The Ruyi shape is made of cloud patterns and Ganoderma lucidum on the head with a long handle. The original "Ruyi" evolved from the ancient hu and scratching stick. At that time, people used it to scratch the itchy places that their hands could not reach, and it could satisfy people's wishes, so it was named "Ruyi".

In ancient times, "Ruyi" had a wider range of uses. It could be used as a self-defense device and as a command flag in wars, implying good luck and success in everything. As a lucky object, it is widely used among the people and the court. Before ordinary people go on a long journey, their family or friends will give them Ruyi to express good wishes; Buddhist monks also often use Ruyi as a prop they carry with them when preaching. During the Qing Dynasty, "Jade Ruyi" was most widely used in the palace. At the emperor's enthronement ceremony, the minister in charge of etiquette would present a "Jade Ruyi" to wish for good governance and harmony among the people and the success of the new policy; when the emperor met with foreign envoys, he would also present "Jade Ruyi" to show the establishment of friendship between the two countries and peace and prosperity for the country and the people. A jade ruyi was placed in the bedrooms of the emperor, empress, and concubines to nourish the mind and indicate good luck and peace... It can be seen that a small "ruyi" is a precious object that combines court etiquette, folk exchanges, and display and appreciation.

Today, designers have perfectly inherited the Ruyi pattern and simplified it, making it an auspicious ornament that can be worn daily, implying everything will go smoothly and as planned, auspicious and safe. It caters to people's expectations and desires for everything to be safe and as planned, and also makes Ruyi more popular.

A jade Ruyi with simple and soft lines is smart and exquisite while also being elegant and majestic. It occupies an extremely important position in our modern jade jewelry. Jade carving masters make full use of the spirituality of jadeite and, through their exquisite skills, give Ruyi new humanistic and artistic charm, creating the Ruyi Lingbao that modern people can't put down. It is loved and appreciated by people, and it also carries people's good wishes for their relatives and friends, hoping that happiness and auspiciousness will accompany every day of their lives.
