Summary of the common meanings of jade pendants! Let’s see how many types you know?

Many Chinese people love jade. Jade is no longer a simple piece of jewelry, but is also endowed with various beautiful meanings. Today I will take some common jade pendants as examples to introduce their corresponding meanings.

Maitreya Buddha Pendant

Maitreya Buddha is sometimes also called the Laughing Buddha. The Laughing Buddha has a big belly and can tolerate things that are difficult to tolerate in the world; he laughs when he opens his mouth and laughs at the ridiculous people in the world. People wear the Laughing Buddha in the hope of always smiling and having good luck. The smile of the Laughing Buddha always reminds people to be optimistic, positive and to value harmony in everything they do. At the same time, "Buddha" is homophonic to "Fu", and wearing a Maitreya Buddha pendant means attracting blessings and happiness in the world, and everything will go smoothly.

Guanyin Pendant

Guanyin is the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, symbolizing "salvation". People have always regarded Guanyin pendants as amulets. There is a saying among the people that "men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha". People hope that with the help of Guanyin, male friends can be less arrogant and impatient, have peace of mind and not be impulsive. But in fact, anyone can wear a Guanyin pendant, there are no particularly strict requirements. Guanyin saves all living beings and helps those who are predestined to clear their distracting thoughts and be compassionate and kind.

Peace locket pendant

The Ping An Kou has a very auspicious name and its meaning is also very beautiful. Ping An Kou, also known as Huaigu, is round and flexible in appearance, which conforms to the "golden mean" in Chinese traditional culture. In addition, the outer and inner circles of the peace locket are both round, symbolizing the vastness of the world and inner peace. The peace locket, of course, also has the meaning of blessing peace. Wearing a jade peace locket embodies people’s beautiful wishes for safe travel and everything to go smoothly.

Ruyi Pendant

Ruyi is one of the most traditional Chinese mascots, which evolved from the ancient "itching stick". People take its literal meaning and pray for everything to go well and as they wish. Nowadays, many ingenious sculptors have added auspicious cloud patterns to the design of Ruyi, creating a fresh and auspicious style.

Gourd Pendant

The gourd is also one of the oldest mascots of the Chinese nation and has always been loved by people. From the appearance, the gourd is round and full, with a big belly and a small mouth, which symbolizes auspiciousness and perfection. Because the two balls are connected, it also symbolizes the love between husband and wife. "Hulu" is homophonic to "Fu Lu", which means good fortune and luck. If the gourd pendant is also carved with a climbing animal, it means "Fu Lu Shou", which means to attract good fortune, get rich, be healthy and achieve perfection. In addition, gourds bear many seeds, so they also symbolize a large family and many children and good fortune.

Leaf Pendant

Leaves, although common in nature, are one of the plants that we are most familiar with. But leaves are evergreen, full of vitality, and bursting with infinite energy, so jade leaves also have positive meanings. "Leaf" also has many positive connotations in traditional Chinese culture, such as "golden branches and jade leaves", "great success (leaf)" and "overnight fame (leaf)", so the jade leaf pendant is a jade ornament suitable for all ages.

Pixiu Pendant

Pixiu is a auspicious animal that only takes in and never gives out, and has the effect of absorbing wealth from all directions. There is a saying among the people that "If you have a Pixiu in your hand, you will get rich easily; if you have a Pixiu at home, you will have no worries", because Pixiu not only brings wealth, but also has the meaning of warding off evil spirits and protecting the house. Because Pixiu represents prosperity and wealth, jade Pixiu is very suitable for businessmen to wear.

Dragon Pendant

The dragon is the most powerful auspicious animal in China. It is the leader of all creatures and can call the wind and rain, ride on clouds and mist. It is the representative of the supreme creature and the symbol of supreme power. There are many styles of dragon-shaped pendants, the most popular one is the jade dragon pendant. The dragon-shaped pendant symbolizes rapid advancement in career and success, and it also symbolizes blessing peace, and warding off evil and disasters. Therefore, the dragon-shaped pendant is very suitable for men, especially those who are working hard.

Lucky bean pendant

Lucky beans are also called green beans or bean pods. It is said that green beans were often used as delicacies in ancient temples, and the monks liked them very much, so they called them "Buddha beans". The word "Fu Dou" is homophonic to "Fu Shou", which means welcoming good fortune and a good harvest. The lucky beans also have the meaning of "winning three first prizes in a row" because the three beans are closely connected. In ancient times, it also meant winning three first prizes in a row in the exams. Therefore, jade beans are very suitable for people who are studying. In addition, "bean pods" symbolize abundant fruits and academic success, and can also be associated with the idiom "the age of bean curd", which means eternal youth and maintaining the charm of a young girl.

In addition to the above nine types, there are many other shapes of jade pendants, and they also have their own unique auspicious meanings. Wearing a jade pendant is not only a decoration of beauty, but also an expression of one's good wishes.
