What’s the good meaning of ox-shaped jade? Why is it "ox-like energy" instead of "tiger-like energy"?

What’s the good meaning of ox-shaped jade? Why is it "ox-like energy" instead of "tiger-like energy"?

Why is it so bullish? Because in the Tibetan creation myth "The Origin of All Things", there is a story about a cow turning into a star and flying into the sky: "The cow's head, eyes, intestines, hair, hooves, heart, etc. turned into the sun, moon, stars, rivers, lakes, forests and mountains, etc."

Moreover, "a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger". In the mythological system of the Central Plains, Emperor Yan, one of the ancestors of the Chinese nation, is described in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" as a human with a bull's head, who led his people in nomadic fishing and hunting, and expanded the territory. Using cow eyes to identify cultivated fields, cow tongues to taste all kinds of grass, and cow strength to break mountains and soil is a true reflection of the Chinese nation's "unremitting self-improvement and tolerance".

Tigers are solitary creatures and it is difficult for them to form a group. The saying "there cannot be two tigers in one mountain" cannot become a symbol of a strong force for unity. Without the power of organization, it is impossible to create a new world and soar into the sky.

The Central Plains region entered an agricultural society very early. In Central Plains culture, the ox is not only a symbol of diligence, but also one of the twelve Chinese zodiac signs. In ancient rituals, the sacrifice of cattle, sheep and pigs was called Tailao, which was the highest level of sacrifice. This shows the status of cattle in ancient China. All dynasties attached great importance to oxen for farming. Even the princes were not allowed to kill oxen without reason. In "Water Margin", eating beef was regarded as a symbol of the outlaws' disobedience to social order.

The artistic symbol of jade bull

In the ancient times when productivity was low, cattle were not only the main source of agricultural productivity, but also a treasure and a symbol of family wealth.

In Chinese jade carving art, the design of the jade cow combines our country's traditional cultural heritage and fashion.

The jade ox represents a great harvest, abundant crops, and good weather. It is a symbol of family harmony and wealth growth. In ancient mythology, there are many images of cows lying down and carrying wealth and treasures, and there are countless festive images of them bringing blessings and wealth. Therefore, the jade cow also symbolizes jade cows bringing wealth, golden cows bringing blessings, wealth and good fortune.

The jade ox symbolizes good health, vitality, and freedom from disease and disaster. If it is added with a spring background design, it symbolizes vitality, vigor and hope.

The jade ox has the meaning of turning the world around and being full of vigor and vitality because of its homonym. The jade ox symbolizes good fortune, improved life, the ability to overcome difficulties, and a true turn of events. A career can also be prosperous and full of energy. If the theme of the sculpture is a mother and calf, it means going upstream against the tide, bringing the calf to court, and long-lasting wealth and honor.

In Western mythology, cattle are also a symbol of wealth. For example, the Book of Exodus in the Bible records that not long after the Israelites fled Egypt, they followed the customs they had learned in Egypt and made a golden calf out of gold. They worshiped it as the image of God. The golden calf thus became a symbol of wealth and status, and the activities of cattle represented production and added value.


What kind of people like to wear or display jade cattle?

People who work hard and take one step at a time like Jade Cow. Because the ox is hardworking and never complains, the jade ox symbolizes sincerity, truthfulness, simplicity and kindness. Nowadays, we often use "Niu Ren" to describe a very capable person, so the jade ox symbolizes talent and extraordinary ability.

People who are clever and sharp and work in the financial investment industry also like cows. Because the jade bull also symbolizes that the securities market can develop in a bullish direction and rise strongly. Many people working in the financial industry like to wear Pixiu, cow-shaped ornaments, or place cow-shaped ornaments in the direction of attracting wealth.
