Xianggong dzi beads were enshrined and blessed by the accomplished monk Dade, and were hidden by the Buddha or passed down from generation to generation. The existing (old) dzi beads are all ancient remains, which are extremely rare. Xiangxiong dzi beads are the oldest and purest dzi beads witnessed in kind at present, and they are extremely rare and rare treasures. Elephant male dzi beads are the product of ancient elephant male civilization.
Who got the name of dzi Zhu? There is no way to prove it. Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan call it Tianzhu, Tibetans call it "Silk" and Han people call it "Nine Eyes". 1952 Prehistoric Beads from Tibet published by Austrian Tibetan scientists René de and Nebesky Volkowitz and 1953 published Gods and Ghosts in Tibet.
Both books are called Opal. In the book History of Beads published in 1986, Mr. Dobin Lewis mentioned that this kind of beads is "etched or bleached carnelian". "New Tang Book" records: "Tubo women braid their hair and don't wear pearls. A bead is good for yunzhu, and a good horse is easy for one person. " In the article "The God of Bonism in Tibet", Dr. Gele, a famous Tibetan scholar in modern times, called this kind of bead "nine-eye leprosy". Professor Liu Liangyou, a famous scholar in Taiwan Province, mentioned in the article "Exploring the Origin of the dzi beads" that Tibetan scholars usually call dzi beads "white agate fun", which is a kind of acquisition of Tibetan costumes. Lin Dongguang, a merchant of dzi beads in Taiwan Province Province, called dzi beads from beginning to end in the article "Tibetan dzi beads" published in 1997.
The earliest natural dzi beads were polished from conch fossils. Later, due to the scarcity of fossils, ancient Tibetans began to polish dzi beads with a sedimentary rock containing jade and agate. This sedimentary rock has a strong magnetic field and naturally forms regular patterns, mainly eyeballs, supplemented by triangles and quadrangles, which are said to ward off evil spirits. After pondering, the finished product highlights the eye makeup pattern and is an invaluable Buddhist sacred object-dzi beads. Later, due to the scarcity of Jiuyan shale, the ancients in Tibet began to imitate the patterns of sedimentary rocks, artificially draw dzi beads on agate with herbs and colors, and then fired them at high temperature. This ancient processing method has been lost. ...
Nowadays, with the rise of Tibetan Buddhism, people begin to process dzi beads in large quantities. Most artificial dzi beads are made by painting eyes with lead-containing pigments and then firing them at high temperature.
The ancestors of Tibet believed that the dzi beads were supernatural things created by God, which were naturally generated or descended from the sky. If some people say that dzi beads are a handicraft of "harmony between man and nature", they will strongly object. Ask many Tibetans where the dzi beads came from, and they all tell the same old myth: in ancient times, dzi beads were ornaments worn by immortals. Whenever the beads are damaged or slightly damaged, the immortals throw them along with the biological fossils, which is the same era as Nautilus and trilobites. People found conch fossil dzi beads in Dingri area of Himalaya and fossil mountain in no man's land of northern Tibet. The story of the common people goes like this: once a man saw such a bug on the top of the mountain, he threw his hat at it and covered it. When he took off his hat, the bug had petrified and turned into a dzi bead. In the article "Prehistoric Beads in Tibet", Dr. R. Nebesky-Vokowitz tells a legend in Ali area in western Tibet. People think that dzi beads originated from a mountain near Ruddock, and they go down the slope like a stream when it rains heavily. However, one day, a witch stared at the mountain with "evil eyes", so the dzi beads stopped flowing at once. Until today, natural dzi beads with bright eye patterns can be seen in places where dzi beads are constantly flowing out. The following is a string of dzi beads that I have the honor to see, and I would like to share them with you.
This string of dzi beads is symmetrical, hard in texture, clear in color, round in patina, clear in grain, even in Qin color, smooth and natural in eye lines, and the weathering marks make the beads more unpredictable and attractive. The surface of beads naturally has a shiny, waxy moist feeling, which makes them feel smooth and comfortable.
At present, the collection and trading market of dzi beads in developed countries such as Southeast Asia is very mature, and some rich people like to hide dzi beads as a status symbol. In the international market, the transaction price of Tianzhu is very high. As far as I know, Lawrence International Auction Co., Ltd. launched a three-eyed dzi bead at the Lawrence Hong Kong Autumn Auction on 20 18 last year, with a starting price of 7.5 million. After several rounds of auction, the final transaction price was18.25 million.
The above is my limited understanding of the three-eyed dzi beads. If you have any suggestions, you can leave a message in the comment area, and I will reply as soon as I see it.
