What's the point of carving a unicorn?
The word "Ruyi" comes from the Sanskrit "Ana Law" in India, which is one of the Buddhist instruments introduced from India. The handle is heart-shaped and made of bamboo, bone, copper and jade. When giving lectures, the mage often holds a wishful knife and writes down the scriptures on it for fear of forgetting. A handle of Buddha and monk Ruyi unearthed from the underground palace of Famen Temple in Fufeng, Shaanxi Province, is gilded with silver and has a straight handle. According to the data of the Palace Museum, the origin of Ruyi is closely related to the back scratching tool commonly known as "not seeking" in our daily life. The earliest wishful thinking is to make the end of the handle into the shape of a finger to show that the hand can't reach and scratch, so it is called wishful thinking, commonly known as "Dont Ask For Help". Qing Dynasty's "Records of Foreign Objects" says: "If you are satisfied, you will get an ancient claw stick". In ancient China, there were "tickling stick" (now called tickling) and "water" (also called "tide" and "hand board"), which were both desirable. Later, its morphology was divided, and a branch retained its practical function and spread among the people; The other emphasizes auspicious meaning, which has evolved into pure furnishings and treasures, as well as the statue of Bodhisattva with wishful hands.
