Jade bracelet, historical origin

As a jewelry, bracelets first appeared in the Neolithic Age and have a history of nearly 10,000 years. The jade bracelet began in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty and was popular in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

Bracelets are also called bracelets. In ancient times, the "bangle" and the "armband" were also called "钏". The "Bracelet" is a ring-shaped ornament worn on the wrist, mostly for ladies; the "armband" is mostly used by men and is an arm accessory worn on the elbow joint. Modern "armbands" are rare.

There are two main types of bracelets: one is a jade bracelet; the other is a gold, silver (or inlaid, jade) bracelet. Although there are many kinds of jade materials that can be used to make bracelets, only the jade bracelet is the strongest and most durable bracelet. The jade is rich in color, with a wide variety of varieties, and the bracelets can be described in a variety of ways. Even with a piece of jade material, it can be processed into a bracelet that is not identical. Therefore, the jade bracelet has been a Chinese love for hundreds of years.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang sent the adopted son Mu Yingjun to destroy Luchuan (the Sino-Burmese border area), and further opened the passage of Tengchong to the jade field. As a result, the jadeite that entered the country increased dramatically, and a large number of jadeites were imported into the Central Plains. Due to geographical relationship, Yunnan women prefer jade bracelets, followed by Sichuan, Guizhou and Guangxi. In the late Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China, the jade bracelet was a must-have for the women of Sui, Sui, Sichuan and Guizhou. The daughter is married, and the dowry of the maiden dowry must not be without the jade bracelet. After the death of a woman from a large family, the jade bracelet is also indispensable in the funerary.

Among the modern Chinese, women from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau are the most common Chinese group with jade bracelets. Modern fashion women have already recovered from the South back to the custom of "no bracelets and no marriages" a hundred years ago. This returning to the basics of fashion has also spread rapidly to the north. Taking the jade bracelet as a token, the idea of ​​maintaining the emotions of both sides stems from the cultural connotation of the jade bracelet itself. The jade bracelet is round, symbolizing never ending, Yonghuan is always round, harmonious and complete, and love never ends. Therefore, when men and women are married, they are loyal and unyielding. The women are accompanied by jade bracelets and go to the marriage hall with their beloved men. This kind of oriental wedding custom culture that expresses love and endlessness with jade bracelets is more real, appropriate and more versatile than the western diamond wedding ring culture. Tracing back to the source, in fact, the Western wedding ring and the eastern wedding bracelet are exactly the same, are derived from the ring ornaments. The ancient Westerners’ early engagement token was just an iron ring and later developed into a diamond ring. And the wedding ring is also limited to gifts between couples. The oriental jade bracelet has both the connotation of marriage and custom culture and the continuation of family. The female elders passed on the jade bracelet that they loved for a lifetime to their daughters, daughter-in-law... and then passed down from generation to generation, forever, this is the emotional meaning of the jade bracelet never ending.

Once upon a time, when Western gem culture infiltrated into China, some people accepted the Western diamond wedding ring culture. But not long after, after rational thinking, people still think that the jade wedding bracelet culture is more suitable for the Chinese people's customary ideas, and has continued the oriental wedding bracelet culture for nearly a thousand years. It has once been amazed by Westerners, and why the Chinese do not cherish it. In particular, the rich diversity and uniqueness of jade bracelets are incomparable to any ring. Once the jade bracelet is formed, its golden body will never change. After thousands of years, its love and affection will remain unchanged. Although the wedding ring is also sentimental, but the same is everywhere, and can be re-engineered at will, so its function of handed down will be greatly reduced. All these people have good reasons to choose jade, enjoy jade, and enjoy the warmth and joy of jade.

Shape classification of jade bracelet

A bracelet consists of two elements: the "circle" and the "circle". According to the shape of the ring, the ring of the bracelet can be divided into a circle (a perfect circle) and an elliptical circle (an egg circle), and the inner ring mouth and the outer ring are coincident and concentric.

The elliptical circle is also known as the chaise longue. According to legend, Yang Yuhuan, the favorite of Tang Minghuang, is distinguished and distinctive. The special jade craftsman is the elliptical jade bracelet, and ordered the people of the world not to imitate, so there is a noble bracelet. title. In addition, some of the outer rings of the bracelet are irregular, and because of the pattern, it is called a carved bracelet.

According to the shape of the section of the loop, the loops of the bracelet can be divided into five categories: round strips, flat strips, square strips, trapezoidal strips and shaped strips.

In history, the jade bracelets are almost all round bars. The flat jade bracelet began to rise from Hong Kong 30 years ago. This inner and outer jade bracelet can fully express the exquisite texture of the jade. Since the inner ring mouth is in a flat surface, the contact area with the skin is large, and it is comfortable to wear. Therefore, the flat jade bracelet has been accepted by the majority of consumers, becoming the mainstream style of today's jade bracelet. When manufacturers make bracelets, they will also behave in accordance with the materials. The kind of bracelets with good color and light color will be made into round bracelets, and the effect will be better.

The classification of jade bracelets is a variety of jade bracelets, which are difficult to subdivide. According to the principle of "image jade science", it can be roughly divided into seven categories:

First, the prime bracelet: only the ground, the bracelet without color, flower is called the prime bracelet. There are many varieties, such as the plain white bracelet, which is composed of white ground; the plain water bracelet is a colorless, flowerless bracelet with good water, foot and foot, and ice white, glass white and plain bracelet.

Second, floating flower bracelet: mainly refers to the bracelet with orchids distributed on various kinds of land. There are many kinds of such bracelets, which are mainly named according to the germplasm of the land, such as the ice-flowered orchid, the glass-bottomed orchid, the scented orchid, the porcelain orchid and so on. The old-fashioned floating flower bracelet is top grade, such as glass floating flower bracelet.

Third, the color flower bracelet: the bottom of the account is decorated with a green bracelet called a color flower bracelet. According to the germplasm of the land, the color flower bracelet can be divided into several kinds, such as an ice-green bracelet. In some areas, green is called “cyan”, such as white-brown bracelets and cyan bracelets. Kind, good color, and more colors are top grades. Ice green bracelets and glass green bracelets are rare and the price is high.

Fourth, the silk flower bracelet: the color is purple, the more purple the higher the price. Where the purple jade germplasm is not very good, if it can reach the ice purple is the top grade, the whole ice purple is rich, it is a treasure. When the twilight is in the same color as the light green, it is called the enamel band bracelet.

Fifth, the yellow skull bracelet: the bracelet with yellow fog and red fog called yellow enamel, red jade bracelet, although more common, but the yellow fog, red fog does not occupy too much. The price difference is not high. A good iced and iced bracelet is rare and its price is high. Yellow is also called rich color, which is pursued by many Emeralds. A good variety of bracelets full of yellow is rare and its price is high.

The sixth and third color bracelets: red (yellow), green and purple appear on the bracelet and are called three-color bracelets, which means Fu, Lu and Shou Sanquan. A good three-color bracelet is not common and has a collection value.

Seventh, full of green bracelets: the whole green jade bracelet is rare, and the breeder is rare. It is the best in Cuizhong, the price is high, and it has great collection value. For example, in October 2000 at the Christie's auction in Hong Kong, a full-color green bracelet was sold at a price of HK$18.5 million.

Health care function of jade bracelet

Whether jade has a health function for the human body has not been confirmed by scientific experiments, but practical experience tells people that wearing jade is good for the human body.

Some people think that jade has a "concentrating energy function", especially capable of storing infrared rays. The human body is a biological magnetic field, and the human body is placed in the earth's large magnetic field. When the human body wears a jade bracelet, the bracelet will accumulate and store the energy released by the human body, and at the same time, it will also collect electromagnetic energy such as infrared rays from around the human body. Since there is a health acupuncture point called “Neiguan” on the inner side of the wrist of the human body, the bracelet storing various energy will frictionally stimulate the Neiguan acupoint, thereby promoting the blood circulation of the human body and benefiting human health.

On the other hand, it is the jadeite that absorbs and stores energy such as infrared rays, so it also makes the jade itself "fed". For example, some jade bracelets have green, and will rise more and more; some bracelets have less cotton. However, some cotton will disappear, making jade more transparent and beautiful. This may be the explanation of what people call "people raise jade, jade raise people".

How to choose jade bracelet

A good jade bracelet is always unchanged, and it has a handed down function. Whether it is for personal use or gift, it will hold a true feeling. Therefore, you must use the "heart" to choose when you purchase, and sometimes say "Fate", you can see at a glance And can touch your heart, that may be yours.

A good jade bracelet is not necessarily expensive. The so-called "good" refers to the good quality of the bracelets. All the old bracelets belong to the category of "good". The old-fashioned bracelets with flowers and colored are "better". Due to the coarse crystal structure and loose structure, the bean bracelet is easy to change and dry. It is not "live" and does not have the value of handed down and collection. It is recommended to be cautious when purchasing. In fact, it is enough to buy a jade bracelet as long as you master a principle. That is, you must first carefully look at the "species" of the earth. It is up to you to choose the old-fashioned land with fine structure, ice-like taste and glutinousness. The key to the quality of the bracelet; then look at the distribution of flowers or colors, these are the scales that determine the price.

It is worth noting that any bracelet with a "powder powder" may be raised "live" and "good". It cannot be ignored when purchasing.

The size of the ring should be suitable for wearing, too tight and too loose.
