Jade Key and Lock: Love only one person in your life!

Each lock has a key, and the perfect combination of lock and key is given a lot of meaning in China. This contains warnings about honesty and also about the isolation of the country. But for ordinary people, locks and keys also symbolize the loyalty of love. A key that opens another person's heart can often lead to a beautiful marriage.

Because locks and keys are symbols of love, since ancient times, Chinese people have used various materials to make the shapes of keys and locks, such as gold locks and silver locks, gold keys, silver keys, etc. Of course, jade keys and jade locks are also indispensable. People gave each other tokens of love and wore these ornaments on their bodies, and this tradition has continued to this day.

There is also a touching story about the love lock:

A long time ago, a kind girl and an honest young man fell in love. However, her father, a businessman, did not want his daughter to live a poor life, so he promised her to the son of an official. When the wedding day arrived, the young man bravely snatched the bride and fled to the mountains.

When they were blocked in front and pursued from behind, they linked arms and jumped down from the mountain, disappearing into the valley without a trace. People searched the valley for several days but found no bodies, only a stone lock with their names engraved on it. Legend has it that the matchmaker in the sky was moved by their love and turned them into this stone lock so that they would never be separated in their lifetimes.

To commemorate their touching love, later generations would go to Yue Lao Temple to tie locks on the 15th day of August every year, Yue Lao’s birthday. Those who have not found a partner would tie the locks and pray to Yue Lao to grant them a good marriage as soon as possible. Those who have already found a partner would carve their names on the locks and pray to Yue Lao to bless their everlasting love.

Just like an exquisite jade key and lock, with gold as the body and love as the heart, they open themselves and lock each other. In the world of love, sometimes it is as calm as water, and sometimes it is passionate as fire. Cherish this hard-earned fate and walk through this long road of life together.
