What is Tibetan dzi beads? Listen to the experience of Tibetan pearl collectors for more than ten years.

Buddha said that all encounters in the world are reunions after a long separation. When you see this text, it means that you, like me, are also a Tibetan friend who likes Tibetan dzi beads. I have been collecting pearls in Tibetan areas for more than ten years since 20 10. I wander around the pastoral areas in the post-Tibetan areas all the year round, or walk around in Tibetan markets, just to catch a good pearl. In recent years, due to the revival of dzi beads and Wan Wen in Tibet, a large number of fake dzi beads have appeared in the market. I am sad. I will share what I know about Wan Wen in Tibet, so that we can avoid detours. Welcome Tibetan friends to pay attention and discuss with me.

Today I want to tell you, what is a dzi bead?

First of all, from the ancient Tibetan dzi beads

DZ-DZ-DZ-DZ-DZ-DZ-DZ-DZ-DZ-DZ-DZ-DZ-DZ-DZ-DZ-DZ-DZ-DZ-DZ-DZ-DZ-DZ-DZ-DZ

Second, the origin of dzi beads

In fact, it's not just Tibetans' worship of eyes. The worship of "eyes" by human beings since ancient times began in the Paleolithic Age. According to historians, the earliest natural eye pattern mineral beads were around 4000-3000 BC. From a macro point of view, the study of the origin of Tibetan dzi Zhu can not be separated from the study of the development history of world civilization in the same period, and it can not be separated from the study of the development history of local religions in Tibet. From the microscopic point of view, it is inseparable from the scientific sampling and comparison of the types, materials, manufacturing techniques and patterns of dzi beads in different historical periods.

There has been a lot of speculation about the origin of dzi beads, and the vague records in the Central Plains literature, the long-term lack of archaeological data and many Tibetan legends and religious metaphors about dzi beads make dzi beads seem mysterious. However, no matter how bizarre the statement about dzi beads is, dzi beads do not exist in isolation, but have their specific cultural and religious background.

Third, the craft of dzi beads

Many Tibetan friends often ask me about the craft of dzi beads. According to written records, the inventor of dzi-dzi-dzi-dzi-dzi-dzi-dzi-dzi-dzi-dzi was the founder of Nanpai Tibetan medicine. Because natural dzi beads were widely used before the12nd century, the technological dzi beads were made of 27 precious materials such as gold, silver and saffron. In order to be closer to nature, a "whitening process" was adopted (the middle section of natural agate was coated with alkaline compounds and then heated to whiten). This process is unique in Tibet, and people call the etched agate crafts made by this process "pure dzi beads". Due to the complexity of this process and high production cost, dzi beads gradually disappeared.

Later, there was a widely spread production process of 65438 +0 -5.

Because there are many different materials of dzi beads, different dzi beads have different production processes. There is limited space here, and each category will be sorted out and shared with you in the future. You are also welcome to leave a message in the comments section. I will share the experience of collecting beads for decades with you!

Fourth, the material of dzi beads.

Besides agate, the material of dzi beads also includes serpentine, which is what we call earth jade, wood fossils, carnelian, glass, feed and so on. For thousands of years, the legend of dzi Zhu has been colorful in all aspects, and various mysteries have emerged one after another. However, it has been confirmed that there is indeed magnetic field energy inside the dzi beads, which is a negative ion alkaline magnetic field. Compared with the crystal magnetic field, the magnetic field energy of the dzi bead is greater, and the magnetic field energy of the ytterbium element inside is particularly strong. So many people think that dzi beads are meteorites falling from outer space. In fact, dzi bead is an agate, a product of nature.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) the inheritance of dzi beads

Wealth, faith, sustenance, and the inheritance of ancient Tibetan civilization outline the ancestors' worship and pious spiritual world of Tianzhu, and open up the belief space in the hearts of future generations. If the energy in the world is conserved, it will be regarded as a sacred product from generation to generation. Under the protection of its communication with the soul, how many mysterious forces it should gather.

For modern people, dzi Zhu is not only a rich history, but also an empirical study that traces the origin of culture. Ancient beads have irresistible charm from shape to color, from texture to patina. Its own cultural connotation is the fusion of classical aesthetics and historical tradition, which lasts forever.
