What is the meaning and cultural background of the jade goose?

Speaking of geese,

Children will think of "Ode to the Goose".

Foodies will think of stewing goose in an iron pot.

Those who study dance will think of the Four Little Swans.

People like me who have occupational diseases think of the "goose" in the jade theme.

Today we won’t talk about food or dancing;

Let’s talk about why geese are carved on jade.

1. The image of the goose is beautiful

1. Goose meets the contemporary high-end aesthetics

The goose has a long neck.

The curvature is just right.

The temperament is very elegant.

The classic model of a certain brand is the image of a swan.

And Holiland's Black Swan Cake,

It’s also expensive.

It is a brand that our average family cannot afford.

2. The cultural heritage of geese in ancient times

The image of the goose is not only popular in modern times.

In fact, geese have a strong artistic atmosphere in ancient times.

Everyone must be familiar with the great calligrapher Wang Xizhi.

Wang Xizhi loved geese very much.

He could suddenly understand the mystery of calligraphy from the goose's body shape.

People often exchanged geese for his calligraphy.

And Wang Xizhi also enjoyed it.

So much so that later people used "changing goose hands" to describe calligraphy masters.

This is enough to show the important position of goose in Chinese culture.

2. Goose has a beautiful meaning

In the selection of jade works,

Generally, people pay attention to the meaning of the subject matter.

Goose has a particularly beautiful meaning.

1. Purity

The goose's feathers are white.

White gives people a feeling of purity and holiness.

For example, most wedding dresses are white.

Lilies symbolize purity and are also white.

White always has a very holy and noble meaning.

So the goose symbolizes purity.

2. Loyalty

Swans are the most passionate animals in the world.

It is different from the mandarin duck.

Although mandarin ducks also live in pairs,

But when their partner dies, they will look for another one.

So the mandarin ducks you see are always in pairs.

The swan is not,

As long as one dies,

The other one will never look for a new mate for the rest of its life.

It is very appropriate to say that swans are the most affectionate animals in the world.

Such unwavering love is rare among human beings.

Therefore, the jade swan symbolizes faithful love.

3. Strong vitality

Swans are migratory birds.

To migrate back and forth.

The climate is ever-changing.

The geographical environment is extremely harsh.

Still able to survive in such an environment,

This is enough to show the tenacity of vitality.

Therefore, wearing jade pendants also has the meaning of tenacity.

Suitable for children and women to wear.

4. Aim high

The jade goose also symbolizes having lofty ambitions.

Since swans are particularly good at flying,

It can fly up to 9,000 meters.

It seems that the goose has great willpower and ambition.

Therefore, it is said that the jade goose has such a meaning.

Summarize:

There are so many jade themes.

The big goose also came to join the table.

The carving of swans has a wide range of meanings.

Wearing it often improves your temperament.
