Gu Yu: A journey through time as desired

The long river of time flows slowly

Many things have gradually faded from people's sight to complete their mission

But there are some more

Original old objects of ancestors

We are right about them

Often turn a blind eye

But they are always together

They have been baptized over thousands of years

It's still timeless

It is as if time and wisdom have condensed

Cultural amber

Gu Yu: A journey through time as desired

Valley rain has the meaning of rain and hundreds of grains, at this time spring will pass away, the field seedlings are newly planted, and the rain is most likely to be moistened. The valley rain and rain are just in time, and they have always been auspicious and auspicious.

Ruyi, that is, "in line with the heart", is the desire of the Chinese nation.

Regarding the origin of Ruyi, there are three theories in the academic circles: one is the Indian imported product theory; the second is the ancient Chinese theory of grasping battles; and the third is the Buddhist article theory. Among them, the "ancient Chinese theory of grasping battles" is recognized by most scholars. According to historical records and excavated archaeological relics, in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there was already a grab battle similar to the shape of Ruyi - "The ancient claw staff is also used to scratch, as the meaning of the person, so it is a finger claw, and the handle length can be three feet." Or there is an itch on the back of the back, and the hand cannot reach it, so it is used to scratch like a person. It can be seen that "Ruyi" was first used by the ancients to tickle the tool.

In recent years, in qufu, Shandong, the ancient city of Luguo, two fragments of ivory carvings identified as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty have been excavated, which are shaped like a cylindrical long handle, the first end is connected to the realistic palm shape, and the fingertips are bent into claws. Experts deduce that this should be the earliest physical remains of the same kind on the mainland.

During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Qing tanners were good at keeping their wishes, which was probably related to their love of serving the five stones. After taking this powder, there will be symptoms of itching all over the body, so a stalk is often not left from the hand. Over time, Ruyi gradually became a plaything in people's hands. Emperor Jianwen of the Southern Dynasty once had a poem: "The wrist moves the peony jade, and the shirt follows the ruyi wind", which can be seen that during this period, the literati, emperors and princes and generals all had the hobby of wearing ruyi. In the Tang Dynasty, ruyi shape tended to be more flat, and the head was bent and folded, in the shape of a three-petal cirrus cloud. As a result, the practicality of Ruyi is slowly weakened, and the beautiful shape and exquisite production are not suitable for helping people eliminate the itch on their backs.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Ruyi's development reached its peak. Because of its exquisite shape and beautiful meaning, it is deeply loved by the emperor and general. Whenever the emperor of the dynasty had the throne and birthday, the princes and ministers would offer their wishes to win the emperor's favor. Ruyi was also the emperor's choice of concubines, the empress's vouchers and relics, as well as the rewards for meritorious service. To this day, the Confucius Temple in Qufu, Shandong Province, still preserves the precious ruyi given to Confucius by the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

Ruyi is more and more exquisite in the shape and selection of materials, craftsmen use agate, jade, jade, gold and silver and other precious materials, in the production process, but also the use of flat carving, relief and hollowing and other carving techniques, inlay process is more complex and diverse, in the pattern pattern usually choose song crane, evergreen and bergamot and other auspicious patterns, further reflect the "like the meaning of the person" beautiful cultural connotation.

Ruyi is a magnificent treasure of Chinese national culture, and the beauty of the intention it brings to people is the embodiment of traditional Chinese aesthetic thought. Ruyi is also the representative of the traditional Chinese Xiangrui culture, which is a wise and implicit Chinese the vision and expectation of a better life.
