Man takes care of jade for three years, and jade takes care of man for a lifetime.

On the one hand, we can improve the gloss and transparency of jade by playing with it, making it more beautiful and spiritual; on the other hand, the process of touching jade can bring physical and mental health to people and educate their lives.

Although it has only been three or four hundred years since jade was introduced in large quantities and widely used, because people who love jade have given it magical cultural connotations, its short but glorious history is enough to make other jades envious, and together with other jades, it constitutes the long-standing jade culture of the Chinese nation. Keep jadeite popular in the jade world.

Jade also has deep roots in Buddhist culture. Next, let’s talk in detail about the relationship between jade and Buddhist culture!

Jade is closely related to people's lives. In people's eyes, it is not only a beautiful stone that is good for the body, but also carries mysterious beliefs and attachments.

People in ancient times and today all love, enjoy and play with jade. “A gentleman never leaves his jade without a reason.” It has now become the most popular jade among the descendants of Yan and Huang all over the world, and wearing and loving jade has become a modern fashion.

China's jade culture and religion have been inextricably linked since ancient times. Since Myanmar, the main producing area of ​​jade, is a Buddhist country, and because the area where jade is prevalent - the ancient East, is a region where Buddhism is the main religious belief, Buddhism has a great influence on jade art. Therefore, Buddhist themes occupy a very important position in jade culture.

The current wearing habit is that men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha. Among the folks, common people like the Maitreya Buddha, who is always smiling and funny. People believe that his image can free people from worries, bring blessings and wealth, and make them full of optimism about life.

Whenever one sees Maitreya Buddha, one's soul will be relaxed and liberated to a certain extent. There is a world-famous couplet in Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou: "A big belly can accommodate things that are difficult to accommodate in the world, and a kind face always smiles at the ridiculous people in the world." From this, one can experience a frank and transcendent attitude towards life, which is also one of the main reasons why people like to wear Buddha jade.

Guanyin is the embodiment of charity and salvation in China for thousands of years and is synonymous with truth, goodness and beauty. Guanyin holds a sacred position in people's hearts. Historically, Buddhism in China embodies people's powerless and passive resistance to the sufferings of survival and their longing for life and ideals of life.

Their ideals, aspirations, and aesthetic tastes have assimilated the original religious meanings and artistic styles from Indian Buddhism in many ways. For example, Guanyin, who was originally a male, was created by the Chinese people according to their wishes as a dignified, wise, amiable, and compassionate mother - Guanyin. That is why some people call Guanyin the "Goddess of the East."

When men wear Guanyin, it will make them less cruel and violent, and more compassionate and gentle like Guanyin. Naturally, Guanyin will bless them with peace and happiness.

Ladies should wear Maitreya more often to make them less jealous and petty, talk less about gossip, and be more tolerant. They should be as broad-minded as Maitreya Buddha, and naturally they will be blessed by the Buddha and be happy and free.

In general, men wearing Guanyin and women wearing Buddha means that men and women complement each other. Men can absorb some of women's advantages to make up for men's shortcomings, and women can absorb some of men's advantages to make up for their own shortcomings.
