Jade Bi is one of the ancient Chinese jade cultures
The most core of a kind of jade,
Its history lasts for more than 5,000 years,
In the traditional Chinese cultural concept,
Jade bi symbolizes good will and noble qualities.
At that time, lin Huiyin designed the national emblem pattern with Yubi as the main body.
Yubi is a flattened circular jade with a perforation in the center, the perforation is called "good", the edge body is called "meat", and one of the "six Rui".
Liyu occupies a very important position in ancient jade. According to the concept that all things have spirituality, the ancients believed that jade was the essence of mountains and rivers, the treasures of heaven's gifts, and the spirituality of communicating with the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth. Therefore, jade bi is one of the traditional jade ceremonial vessels in China.
Archaeology has found that jade bi was first produced in the Neolithic Age about 5000 to 6,000 years ago, and until the Qing Dynasty, there were different shapes and ornaments of jade bi.
The Jade Bi of the Shang Dynasty was mostly string patterns; from the Spring and Autumn to the Warring States Period, there were mainly cloud patterns, valley patterns, pu patterns, and some cockroach patterns; in the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were crab patterns, milk nail patterns, animal face patterns, flower and bird patterns; the Han Dynasty Jade Bi followed the style of the Warring States and changed slightly, jade was still dominated by white, blue, and jasper, but the shape of the wall was enlarged, some with a diameter of 30 to 50 centimeters or more, and the combination of ornaments was more popular, and some were also decorated with auspicious characters.
The use of jade bi, according to ancient documents and speculation by later generations, is a sacrificial vessel, which is used as a sacrifice to the heavens, gods, mountains, seas, rivers, stars, etc. The second is a ceremonial vessel, which is used as a ceremonial day or as a sign of identity. The third is the ornament. Four weighing scales for enamels. Five for warding off evil spirits and preventing corrosion.
At the beginning of the new year, I only wish all my friends with jade bi, happiness and fulfillment, and all the best.
