Auspicious words are engraved on the surface to ward off evil spirits. They are ancient amulets. It was popular in the Han Dynasty, generally about 2 cm long and 1 cm wide, and there were imitations in later generations. Gangmao and Yanmao originated in the Western Han Dynasty. During the Xinmang period, they were abolished for a time to avoid "mao" as the radical of the character Liu, but they continued to be popular in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Gangmao and Yanmao are named "Mao" because they were made on the Mao day of the first lunar month, and they have the function of warding off evil spirits. —— Weng Zhong It was not until the Ming Dynasty that the person and story of "Weng Zhong" and the purpose of making this statue became clearer. "Ming Yitongzhi" records: Weng Zhong's surname was Ruan, and he was a native of Annan during the Qin Dynasty. He was 13 feet tall, with a dignified and brave temperament, different from ordinary people. When the First Emperor unified the world, he appointed Weng Zhong as the general. After Weng Zhong died, a bronze statue of him was cast. Through this record, we know that Weng Zhong was a majestic and brave general in the Qin Dynasty. Using his image as a pendant is meant to ward off evil spirits. Jade Weng Zhong was quite popular in the Han Dynasty. It was a kind of accessory used to ward off evil spirits. It is often carved as an old man standing with a long beard and a long robe, and a flat crown with a hole for a rope to facilitate wearing. Weng Zhong was usually carved in the Han Dynasty. The Han Weng Zhong was carved using the Han Dynasty style "Han Eight Knives" method. It has an ancient color, and only the eyes and mouth are carved on the face. It is carved with only three to five short negative lines, and is in the shape of an inverted "品". Some have a plain face, without even the eyes and mouth, and the eyelids are oblong. Those with overly round eyelids are mostly later imitations, especially during the Republic of China period, when there were a large number of imitation Weng Zhongs. The imitations have thicker negative lines and cracks on the edges of the blade. ——Sinanpei The jade Sinan pendant is a special-shaped device from the Han Dynasty, shaped like a Sinan (also known as a compass) which is used to determine the correct direction and north and south. The jade is exquisite, small and delicate, with the top carved into a small spoon shape and the bottom in the shape of the Chinese character "工", and often with small holes carved through it. It is generally believed that the upper part is the compass spoon, one of the components of Si Nan, the middle is the "Gong" character pendant commonly used in the Han Dynasty, and the lower part is the chassis, one of the components of Si Nan. The Sinan jade pendant is one of the jade objects used to ward off evil spirits during the Han Dynasty. Although there are not many of them, they are very important. The shape of the Si Nan pendant is like an I-beam, a flat rectangular block, divided into two layers, consisting of two rectangular pillars connected together, with a groove on the horizontal waist ring. There is a small spoon carved on the top and a small plate carved on the bottom. The whole vessel is plain and has no patterns. There is a horizontal or vertical hole in the middle of the concave part or the handle of the spoon, which can be used to wear it. Why can jade ward off evil?Jade is a rare treasure. It contains more than 30 trace elements beneficial to the human body, such as selenium, zinc, nickel, cobalt, manganese, magnesium, calcium, etc. The starting waves emitted by these elements are in the same fluctuation state as the starting waves of human cells. Human cells resonate and resonate with the fluctuations emitted from jade, making human cell tissue more dynamic, promoting blood circulation, enhancing metabolism, and eliminating waste from the body.The essence of the heavens, earth, mountains and rivers, the sun and the moon nourish all things in the world. After thousands of years, they gave birth to "jade", a mysterious spiritual stone that combines the essence of thousands of things. It obtains its nature from the principles of heaven and earth, and its shape from the energy of heaven and earth. Long-term wearing can slowly turn it into living jade, achieving the effect of mutual nourishment between man and jade. It is crystal clear, elegant and noble, and is regarded by people as a sacred object to worship the magical power of nature and heaven and earth, so it is naturally used to protect the body and ward off evil spirits. |
