Jade must be crafted, and craftsmanship must have meaning. Good wishes are reflected in jade.

The beautiful jade of a jade lover must carry the owner's good wishes. Since ancient times, jade must be crafted; the craftsmanship must have meaning; and the meaning must be auspicious. Taking jade as an example, we would like to introduce 10 common types to you, each of which corresponds to a kind of beautiful auspiciousness and wish!

Maitreya Buddha

Be generous to others

A broad mind can accommodate things that are difficult to accommodate in the world; a cheerful smile can laugh at the ridiculous people in the world. At the same time, "Buddha" is homophonic to "Fu", which means blessing. If you cherish blessings and enjoy the world, what else could go wrong?

Guanyin

Saving all living beings

Guanyin is the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, symbolizing "salvation" and has always been a favorite amulet among people. Wearing Guanyin can also help the wearer to remove distracting thoughts from his or her heart, weaken the brutality in human nature, and make one peaceful, compassionate and kind.

Peace buckle -

Safe and sound

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 inner and outer circles of the peace locket are both round. It is said that the ancients believed that the outer circle of the peace locket symbolizes the vast universe, while the inner circle represents our inner peace and tranquility. It expresses people’s beautiful wishes for peace.

As one wishes-

As you wish

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. In some designs of Ruyi, auspicious clouds are added to make it look auspicious and wishful.

gourd-

Good fortune and luck

As one of the oldest mascots of the Chinese nation, the gourd has always been loved by people. From the appearance, the gourd is round and full, with two balls connected, a big belly and a small mouth, which symbolizes auspiciousness, perfection, and love between husband and wife. On the other hand, the gourd is homophonic to " Fu Lu ", which means both blessing and official position. If there are animals climbing around the gourd, and "animal" is homophonic to "shou", it means blessing, wealth and longevity, a great perfection. In addition, the gourd has many seeds, which symbolizes the prosperity of descendants and many children.

Dragon Brand

Dragon Shape World

Since ancient times, the dragon has been the embodiment of auspiciousness. Ancient emperors called themselves "dragons", and when the dragon and the phoenix are together, it means dragon and phoenix present auspiciousness. The dragon has long become a symbol of the Chinese national spirit. The dragon brand symbolizes favorable fortune, rapid advancement in career, and being a superior person.

leaf-

Vibrant

Although leaves are common in nature, people yearn for their evergreen spirit and their breath full of vitality and vigor. " Ye " has many positive connotations in traditional Chinese culture, such as "golden branches and jade leaves", "great success (Ye)", "becoming famous overnight (Ye)", etc.

brave troops-

Money and Prosperity

There is a saying among the people that "having a Pixiu in hand brings wealth, and having a Pixiu at home brings peace of mind", which reflects the Pixiu's meaning of attracting wealth. There are many styles and shapes of Pixiu. Everyone can find their favorite Pixiu.

bamboo-

Rising

Ancient literati compared themselves to bamboo in terms of their noble and unworldly temperament. Since bamboo grows section by section, it is also called "grips higher and higher". It means that the person who wears it can work, study and live like bamboo, with each section becoming stronger than the last and making steady progress.

Water Drops—

Combining Hardness and Softness

Water is humble and benefits all things without competing for profit; water is generous and accommodates all rivers; water is tenacious and keeps dripping day and night until it wears away the stone. Water is both hard and soft, and can also be regarded as a role model for people to learn from.
