This has to start with the first person to collect jade. According to historical records, Emperor Qianlong was extremely fond of jade. As long as something in life could be made of jade, he would order craftsmen to make it with jade, including snuff bottles, boxes, and ornaments. He has written countless poems, and there are more than 50 poems with jade as the theme. Ji Xiaolan once wrote in his "Youwei Thatched Cottage Notes", "When I was young, the Yunnan jadeite was not considered jade at that time, but now it is considered a treasure, and its price is far higher than that of real jade." What I mean is that when I was young, this jade was not very famous, but now even the emperor regards it as a treasure, and its nobility far exceeds that of other jade artifacts. From then on, jadeite was regarded as imperial jade and was called the king of jade! The origin of men wearing Guanyin and women wearing Buddha is actually a very interesting story. The homonym of Guanyin is "guanyin", and in ancient times, the greatest expectation for one's son was to become the top scorer in high school. The homonym of "fo" is "fu", and family members would hope that their daughters would be loved by their husbands and have many children and blessings. This sentence expresses the parents' good wishes for their children. Personally customizing a jade ornament for your children symbolizes bringing your wishes to your children personally, and a concern that is passed down from generation to generation. There is a Chinese saying that goes, A gentleman never leaves his jade without a reason. The ancients regarded jade as an accessory for gentlemen, believing that accessories should match a person's character. Those who wear jade will be accompanied by jade virtue. People also regard jade as the birthstone of May, a stone of kindness and enthusiasm. Wearing jade can cultivate virtue and discipline oneself. This may be the best explanation of jade nourishing people... 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 aesthetically pleasing, so jade was chosen as a material, and the square hole in the middle was changed to a round hole, which was both beautiful and convenient to wear, and later became the peace buckle. fcgc66 fcpf18 |
