Do you know the meaning of the jade deer?

Li Bai wrote in his poem: "Deer can be seen when the trees are deep, and noon bells can be heard by the stream." In just a few short words, a tranquil picture is sketched out, flowing with abundant poetic beauty.

There are also images of deer in jade carvings, which may not have originated here, but the aesthetic conception they contain, especially the tranquil atmosphere, is exactly the same.

People have an obsession with deer in their hearts. They are gentle and clever, beautiful and auspicious. They live in harmony with the forest and exude a natural aura all over their bodies.

Through their love for deer, people have endowed it with richer connotations. From the cry of deer to the fight for supremacy in the Central Plains, deer has become a symbol of imperial power and official career, just as its homonym suggests - "Lu" means blessing.

The work must have meaning, and the meaning must be auspicious. The deer, which combines the beauty of natural spirituality with the auspicious connotation of humanity, is undoubtedly the object favored by jade carvers, and it demonstrates both more vividly.

In mythology, deer are a kind of fairy beast. A thousand-year-old deer is called a cang deer, and a two-thousand-year-old deer is called a black deer. Therefore, jade with "deer" as the theme has the meaning of health and longevity.
