From ancient times to the present, most elders like jade jewelry. Have you ever wondered why?


The editor believes that in addition to its high collection value, simple and natural, and classical beauty, it is also related to China's traditional culture - blessing culture.

The Chinese nation is a nation that advocates and pursues blessings. Blessing culture is an important part of Chinese traditional culture. To this day, everyone has a high degree of psychological identification with blessing culture. Whether it is getting married, celebrating festivals, doing business, or opening a business, people pay attention to being full of "blessings". Even during the Spring Festival, Alipay's Five Blessings Collection activity is very popular.

Therefore, as an important carrier of inheriting China's traditional blessing culture, it is naturally very popular. People wear jade not only to enjoy its decorative beauty, but more importantly, they appreciate the full blessing it conveys.

"Fate" is the first of the six auspicious elements of "happiness, wealth, longevity, happiness, wealth and good luck". The meaning of "five blessings" in Chinese culture is not only material satisfaction, but also embodies the ethical emotions, life consciousness and aesthetic taste of the Chinese people.

So how is blessing reflected in jade?

Through allegory and symbolism. To express some abstract ideas through the external characteristics of a specific thing. For example, the tortoise, pine and crane symbolize longevity, expressing people's wishes for health and longevity. The golden toad symbolizes wealth, implying a steady flow of money. "Zen" means making a big splash and has a positive meaning.

Use pictographic characters and homophonic characters. For example, bat (bat) has the same meaning as "fu", deer (deer) has the same meaning as "lu", fish (fish) has the same meaning as "yu", gourd (gourd) has the same meaning as "fulu", cabbage has the same meaning as "baicai", and leaf (leaf) has the same meaning as "ye".

Use auspicious words. For example, the characters for blessing, longevity, and happiness express good wishes.

Use images from myths and legends. Such as Guanyin, Buddha, God of Wealth, Dragon and Phoenix, Pixiu, Qilin and so on.
