China Traditional Ruyi Wallpaper HD

Ruyi is a traditional auspicious thing in China. Literati in China like to collect all kinds of desirable things as ornamental objects. Holding the best in your hand has its own elegance.

So what was the ancient wishful thinking for?

At first, it was a combat weapon and was also used by the army to direct operations.

With the development of history, water sticks and scratching sticks gradually evolved into later generations, and they have many uses. Ruyi has become a tool for people to scratch.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Shi Daocheng recorded the following: "The handle can be three feet long, or itchy, beyond the reach of the hand. It is used to scratch, because people want it, so it is called wishful. " Solving the itch behind it can be so desirable that people call it "wishful thinking".

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, cultural development was very prosperous. Ruyi has also been widely developed during this period.

"Shi Shuo Xin Yu Pai Diao" wrote: "In the west, Hu Dazhang was levied, and when he made it, he stopped at Xiangyang. Yin he's book, send it at a discount and adjust it. Yu wrote back and said: "Although it is a failure, it should still be used rationally." "

Yin (Yin Xian) gave Yu Zhengxi (Yu Yi) a wishful thinking with a broken horn to laugh at him. Yu Zhengxi said in his reply: "Although the thing you gave me is worn out, I can still repair it and use it."

It can also be seen that wishful thinking is very common in people's hands. At the same time, Ruyi became a tool for aristocratic families to show their power and status at that time.

Until the Qing dynasty. Ruyi once again achieved great development and reached the peak of history. At this time, Ruyi is not often used to scratch flowers, but more as an auspicious decoration.

Ruyi has become an elegant handicraft and is favored by countless people. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty especially loved exquisite wishful thinking.

Until today, people's love for ruyi has not retreated.
