Peace buckle has been a cherished object since ancient times

Jade peace locket is a very common jade pendant. Jade peace locket is also known as "nostalgic" and is a pendant that can be worn by men, women, young and old. But do you jade lovers really understand this small jade peace locket?

1. The Origin of Ping An Kou

There are many theories about the origin of the peace locket, and the two main ones that have been passed down to this day.

【He Shi Bi】

There are many stories about the legendary Heshi Bi. First, Bian He had his feet chopped off for it, and then the envoy of Zhao State, Lin Xiangru, returned the Bi intact to Zhao State. With the development of the times, jade bi gradually spread from the royal family to ordinary people's homes, and the style gradually changed from large and heavy ceremonial vessels to exquisite and delicate ones, which is today's peace locket.

【Copper Coin】

Ancient copper coins are round on the outside and square on the inside, and look very similar to a peace locket. The ancients believed that copper coins have passed through the hands of thousands of people and are contaminated with enough human popularity to ensure safety. However, copper coins were considered to have a "copper smell" and were not beautiful enough, so jade was chosen as the material, and the square hole in the middle was changed into a round hole, which was both beautiful and convenient to wear, and later became the peace locket.

2. Why are the holes of the peace lock different sizes?

Dear jade lovers, you must have discovered that the peace lockets are some thin and some thick, and the sizes of the holes in the middle are also different. Why is this? The surface of jade has a glass-like luster, giving people a sense of transparency. Making the jade peace locket relatively thin and the hole in the middle larger can make the jade appear more transparent and lively. Whether the hole of the peace locket is big or small actually has no effect on its meaning. It is just a design to better show the charm of different materials.

3. The peace lock does not only represent peace

People like the peace locket mostly because of its auspicious meaning. The most well-known one is, of course, its meaning of keeping safety, but in fact, the peace locket has much more meaning.

【Safety】

The simplest and most direct meaning of the peace locket is "holding peace". Although it is a simple and plain wish, it has also been people's greatest wish since ancient times.

【Fortune】

It is said that the Ping An Kou originated from copper coins, and its appearance is very similar to copper coins, so the Ping An Kou also has the meaning of attracting wealth.

【Family Happiness】

The peace locket consists of a big circle inside a small circle, symbolizing harmony and happiness between husband and wife.

【Academic progress】

Many parents also let their children wear peace lockets, not only to protect their children's health, but also because the smooth and round lines of the peace lockets have the meaning of clear thinking and smooth organization, which contains the parents' long-term hope for their children's academic success.

The peace locket has been an object of great love since ancient times. Crossing the many complexities of the world, Qingjian always accompanies me. It also fits the three words "peace kou" (kou means "kou"), where peace means blessing and kou means companionship.
