What the image of a bean horn in jewelry represents

Doujiao, a staple food in Buddhism, is therefore also known as Buddha's fruit. It takes its meaning of peace and good fortune.

As to why it is the staple food of Buddhism, it starts from the Baizhang Qing rules, when Zen Master Baizhang made a vow that one day does not make one day does not eat. He and his disciples opened a mountain in Caoxi and planted it for self-sufficiency. Because of the soil, climate and region, the best thing to grow on the reclaimed land was bean curd. Later, the Southern Zen Sect in Caoxi planted bean curd in large quantities and used bean curd as the main source of food. Gradually, all the Buddhist monasteries in the Central Plains began to plant bean curd for food, which gave rise to the present saying of Buddha's Fruit, and people wear bean curd on their bodies out of the desire for a better life, praying for Buddha's protection.
