Buddhism, Pearl and Palace Hand Strings

Reporter: When will the beaded ornaments be traced back to the earliest? How does the Buddha Pearl affect the Chinese string culture?

Jiang Yuejin: In the ruins of the cavemen in Beijing, the "beads" of the jewels of the Paleolithic era, which were about 10,000 years old, were unearthed. The perforated teeth, shells, small stone beads, and squid eyes were used. The upper bones are connected in series. There are also a large number of perforated stone beads, bone pipes, enamel, jade, agate and other ornaments unearthed in the sites of the Neolithic Age in China. During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, jade culture has developed to a certain extent, and the production of jade bones is also extremely developed. The aristocrats of the Zhou Dynasty wore strings of jade, stone, agate and other precious materials, called "liyu", which were worn to show their identity or status. This habit has been reduced to the Qin and Han Dynasties, but there is still inheritance.

During the Wei, Jin and Sui and Tang Dynasties, Buddhism developed and flourished in the Middle Kingdom. Buddhism also began to be used in a large number of Chinese Buddhism, and it became popular in monasteries and even societies. Buddhism is a tool and token used to remember the Buddha and hold the heart. It is also called "the Rosary". It was first born in ancient India and became popular in Indian Buddhism in the 4th century. Because the Buddha Sakyamuni taught the Fa, and died under the Bodhi tree, the Bodhi tree was regarded as a Buddhist sacred tree, and its tree seed (Bodhi) was also used by the believers throughout the series, and the number of times recorded in the Buddhist scriptures. Holding the beads in Buddhism is also considered to eliminate karma and symbolize a beautiful vision.

With the development of Buddhism, the types of Bodhi are also constantly developing. Due to the local materials, the Bodhi made in China is also replaced by the tree seeds of fragrant wood and hard-skin trees, but they all have deep roots with Buddhism. Buddhism became a piece of accessories and supplies that went hand in hand with the development of local beaded culture.

Reporter: The Zhaozhu and court bracelets of the Qing Dynasty were also influenced by the beads.

Jiang Yuejin: According to historical records, the Pearl of the Qing Dynasty originated from the beads of Tibetan Buddhism, which in turn affected the development of the court bracelets.

With the continuous improvement of the national service system after the entry of the Qing Dynasty, the Chaozhu gradually became the custom of the court crown. The emperors of the Qing Dynasty and the Houyi, the five literary works of the literary officials, the four officers of the military officers and their mistresses, and the guards, etc., can all be worshipped. In the Qing Dynasty, the Pearl was composed of seven parts: the body, the bead, the Buddha's head, the back cloud, the memorial, the big pendant, and the falling corner. The circumference is about 130-170 cm. The body consists of 108 beads, meaning December, 24 solar terms, 72 waiting for one year, the total is set at 108. There is also a saying that Buddhism believes that there are 108 kinds of troubles in life. In the old days, the Buddhist temples slammed into the bells every day and called them "wake up and worry."

The material, crafts and beads of the court bracelets are the same. The main accessories include two beads, one Buddha head, one back cloud and two pendants. The difference is that the court bracelet has a lanyard and To hide the bead clusters of the knot. The court bracelets of the Qing dynasty were not subject to the harsh restrictions of the pilgrimage, and they could be worn on the wrists and enjoyed in the leisure time. It also specially added a shackle at the head of the Buddha to facilitate hanging on the button and wearing it. This court bracelet, evolved from 18 beads, was once popular in the harem.

Reporter: The Zhaozhu and the court bracelets are a representation of identity to a certain extent, highlighting the nobleness and beauty of the nobility. How about the choice of materials?

Jiang Yuejin: Chaozhu is more elaborate on the level of the hand. The emperor wears different colors of clothes on different occasions, and wears different colors of the beads. The officials are different from the official ranks, and they wear different grades of beads.

Most of the Zhuzhu and court bracelets are supervised by the “Building Office” of the Qing Dynasty. They combine the decorative functions of jewelry and exquisite craftsmanship, and are also amazing in the choice of materials. The materials of the Qing Dynasty Chaozhu and the court bracelets collected by the Palace Museum in Beijing are very extensive, including lapis lazuli, turquoise, tourmaline, east pearl, aquamarine, jade, crystal, agate, amber, beeswax, coral, and gamma. Dozens of materials such as bodhi, sandalwood, agarwood, coconut shell, enamel, ivory, and horn are decorated with bright yellow, golden and stone cyan.

Jiang Yuejin: Because of its material, color, and exquisite workmanship, the bracelets have flown from the deep palace to the folks with the decline of the clean room, becoming an elegant object for the literati or a gift for each other. In modern times, due to the influence of history, the inheritance of bracelets was once broken.

The warming of the wenwan bracelet market began with the SARS in 2003. In the very sensitive and panicking period, a kind of green sandal bracelets that were endowed with exorcism and evil spirits and have a health-care effect and a fragrant aroma have been paid attention to by everyone. Although they are short-lived, they have led to the development of wenwan bracelets. Later, as the concept of wenwan was gradually accepted by the public, wenwan bracelets naturally became a new symbol of fashion.

Reporter: Which materials are favored by people in all kinds of bracelets?

Jiang Yuejin: In recent years, wenwan jewelry has developed into an emerging market industry. From the early years of diamonds and gold to the later jade and jade, people have gradually shifted their sights to more cultural objects such as wenwan walnuts, bodhi, olive carvings, and wooden beads. In addition, the products of different categories and styles are dazzling, red (Warring States Red, South Red), White (White Jade), Yellow (Beeswax), Blue (Turquoise), Green (Jade), except for self-conformity In addition to the beautiful bracelets, the matching beads have become an important part of shaping the personality and charm of other materials.

Xingyue Bodhi is sought after by young people. Vajra Bodhi, Eternal Eye Bodhi and Lotus Bodhi are young consumers.

Identification of Bodhi bracelets and playing

Reporter: The profits are so high, and the fraud of some merchants is also endless. In the face of the mixed bodhi market, how to falsify the truth?

Jiang Yuejin: With the popularity of bodhi beading, the number, variety and price of bodhi beads on the market have been greatly enriched. We can distinguish the authenticity of Bodhi beading by "seeking and asking".

"Wang" is the observation and appreciation of the gods, colors, shapes, states and phases of the bodhi beads. Each bodhi bead has its own unique charm, and it is impossible to present perfect uniformity and translucentness in color. The perfect color and luster are often doubtful. After getting the bodhi beading, first carefully observe whether the shape of the single bead is regular, whether there are any problems such as missing beads, missing beads, body damage, cracking, dryness, etc., will there be shoddy or incomplete generation. In terms of texture and texture, the texture of the fake Bodhi bead is more dirty, with less clear and consistent consistency.

"Smell" refers to the smell of smell, the turbidity of the breath, the real virtual and other changes. When a qualified friend chooses, he can put the bead on the fire for a little burning. In general, bodhi beads can only emit the normal smell of plant burning when burned. If accompanied by the pungent smell of chemicals burning, it must be made of other materials.

"Q" is to understand the material, workmanship, age, color, etc. of Bodhi beading through communication with the seller, and then combine the knowledge of the seller to analyze the seller's statement and description.

“Cut” refers to the appearance of the image, and touches and plays with the beaded beaded beads to understand its quality. Unlike other types of beading, the surface of the bodhi bead has a high degree of friction. Without deep processing or high polishing, the surface of the bead has a certain degree of roughness. In addition, the surface formed is not a paint-like luster, but a feeling after waxing, and there is no effect of grease reflection.

The playing of the string is a process of self-cultivation

Reporter: What do you think of the value of wenwan bracelets? How should people treat it correctly?

Jiang Yuejin: The reason why wenwan bracelets are loved by the public is that it contains culture in addition to its own value. This is a valuable experience and wealth that has been known for generations and passed down from generation to generation. At present, the age group of the group of playing cards is mainly composed of young and middle-aged white-collar workers and blue-collar workers. Among them, young people mainly value the decorative function of bracelets, while middle-aged and elderly people mainly pursue their rich connotations.

Wenshu represents a spirit and also represents a life attitude. A good literary play, through the wrap of the years, is closely connected with the owner, while maintaining the body and mind, but also highlights the master's cultural taste.

The playing of the bead string is a state of mind, a process of self-cultivation, and there is no need to make quick success. This is actually a music of the elegant people - picking is a piece of music, beading is a joy, playing is a pleasure, seeing the walnuts, gourds, bodhi seeds, olives carved out of the disk, the color change is even more fun. Nowadays, the rhythm of urban life is getting faster and faster, playing a hand string, letting small beads roll in your hands, can make the complicated mood calm, so that the nervous nerves are relieved, and more than a few points to the world.
