This motif is symbolic of jade bi discs from the Warring States period to the Han Dynasty. The 'Gu Wen' represents abundant and continuous harvests, signifying prosperity. It is a classic pattern found on ritual jade wares of the pre-Qin era, originating in the Warring States period and flourishing through the Han Dynasty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStandard jade bi discs are circular. The edges may show slight variations depending on the jade material, polished according to the typical shapes of ancient jade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo reddish-brown spots on the upper and lower parts of the artifact are old soil stains from burial. Ancient jade, having been buried for extended periods, absorbs minerals from the soil, forming these stains. The color transition from the surface inwards is natural, a key characteristic for authenticating old jade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe jade surface possesses a gentle, moist luster, smoothed and softened by the weathering of time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSmall jade rings evolved from larger jade ornaments worn on the body and fastened to the waist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 'Gu Wen' pattern symbolizes a bountiful harvest, while the jade bi represents completeness and peace. Ancient people wore these as talismans to ward off evil, pray for good fortune, and welcome auspiciousness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e곡문옥환(谷纹玉环玉璧类)외경: 5.2cm, 소귀계벽(옥환)고대에 끈을 꿰어 걸었던 소귀옥기\u003cbr\u003e기물이 전체적으로 부조된 곡문(와립문)은 돌출된 둥근 알갱이들로, 전국시대부터 한대까지의 옥벽의 상징적인 문양입니다. 곡문은 오곡이 풍성하고 끊임없이 이어진다는 의미를 담고 있으며, 선진 시대의 예제 옥기의 고전적인 문양입니다. 곡문은 전국시대에 기원하여 양한 시대에 성행했습니다.\u003cbr\u003e표준 옥벽은 원형이며 가장자리는 부분적으로 옥 재료에 따라 약간 변형되며 고대 옥의 일반적인 모양에 따라 연마됩니다.\u003cbr\u003e기물 위아래 두 곳의 적갈색 반점은 흙에 들어간 오래된 침으로, 고옥은 오랫동안 토양에 묻혀 있습니다. 미네랄이 옥에 스며들어 형성되며, 침색은 표면에서 내부로 자연스럽게 전환되어 고옥의 중요한 감정 특징입니다. 옥표면은 온화하고 촉촉하며, 세월의 풍화를 받아 부드럽고 매끄러운 빛을 형성합니다.\u003cbr\u003e소형 옥환은 몸에 옥을 차고 허리춤에 묶는 형태로 발전했습니다.\u003cbr\u003e곡문은 풍족한 수확을 상징하고, 옥벽은 원만하고 평안을 상징하며, 옛사람들은 악을 물리치고 복을 기원하며 몸에 지니고 다니며 상서로운 것을 받아들였습니다.","brand":"bunjang_general","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48588151357689,"sku":"BJ-412504122","price":188.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/2591\/4617\/files\/412504122_1_1780642807_w856.webp?v=1782239423","url":"https:\/\/hallyusuperstore.com\/products\/ancient-chinese-carved-jade-bi-disc-ring-with-grain-pattern-412504122","provider":"HALLYUSUPERSTORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
