Amulets and talismans of China

In the history of China, natural stones have always played a special role: they strengthened the power and health of the imperial dynasties of the Celestial Empire, served to maintain peace, love and prosperity in families, helped great warriors in battle, and created a certain shield from evil and troubles. Feng Shui expert Marianne Wong talks about this in more detail.

Grand Princess and the Gems

Amulets and charms have been around for many centuries; this practice dates back to the Han Dynasty (200 BC). One day, one of the rulers of the dynasty, the great Emperor Taizong, agreed to marry one of his daughters, Princess Wencheng, to the Tibetan king Songtsen Gampo.

In 632 AD e. Songtsen Gampo, the young and talented ruler of Tibet, seeing that China under Emperor Taizong was becoming a more powerful and prosperous state, decided to ask the hand of the Chinese princess. China's culture was at its peak, and thus he wanted to raise the level of culture in Tibet. Songtsen Gampo was busy strengthening his kingdom; he understood that he could not conquer China by force and it was better to choose the path of friendship and harmony.

It must be said that the Chinese Princess Wencheng was famous for her beauty, wisdom and good manners. Many people sought her hand. Then her father, Emperor Taizong, came up with the idea of holding a competition and announced that a marriage proposal would be accepted from any monarch and envoy who surprised with his extraordinary decision.

Before the applicants, Taizong's courtiers laid out natural stones of different sizes and unprecedented beauty: carnelian, jade, pearls, agate, ruby, aventurine and others. It was necessary to pass a silk thread through a narrow winding “tunnel” inside each stone, and there were a countless number of them! No matter how hard the suitors fought, no one succeeded in fulfilling the emperor’s task. And the Tibetan monarch smeared the ends of silk threads with honey, placed them at the beginning of each “tunnel”, and overnight hundreds of ants passed through the pebbles!

Princess Wencheng wanted to ensure that this marriage would promote peace between Tibet and the Tang Dynasty. She immediately distributed silk threads with stones of various denominations to all subjects and guests in the palace. “These jewelry are a symbol of wisdom and good relationships, love and health,” Wencheng said. The princess took exactly the same amulets with her to Tibet. She also asked permission from Emperor Taizong to allow her to take with her a statue of Buddha made from a precious stone - so she wanted to make Tibet an even more kind, tolerant and peace-loving state.

When Princess Wencheng was escorted to Tibet, Songtsen Gampo ordered an army to advance to the borders of the state to welcome his bride. The wedding between the ruler of Tibet and Wencheng had a great impact on Tibet's relationship with the Chinese Tang Dynasty. The small Jokhang monastery was built specifically to house the Buddha statue that the princess brought with her, and hundreds of amulets with natural stones on silk threads became a symbol of eternal love, friendship, harmony, and prosperity. Peace reigned between China and Tibet for many years, and since then the Silk Road has become safe.

The main amulets according to Feng Shui

Amulets and amulets do not necessarily need to be worn on the chest, although this is the most optimal access point to all organs and energy flows of the human biofield. On your left hand, your natural stone will protect from other people’s negative energy, accidents and natural disasters, and on your right hand it will stimulate the body and activate everything positive, including health and personal relationships. In China, amulets are worn not only on the wrist, but also on the leg, as in India. Usually, useful stones are tied to a child on a silk thread to protect against the evil eye and protect health: cat's and tiger's eyes, carnelian, agate, amber. Young girls and middle-aged women often wear rose quartz to attract love and happiness, ruby and garnets - for harmonious relationships with a partner, agate - to strengthen material well-being. Jasper bracelets and amulets on the chest help to bear a healthy child, facilitate easy labor and quickly restore the reproductive organs.

When traveling by land, air and water, they take with them aquamarine, lapis lazuli, coral, and topaz. These stones are the real guards of a person on a foreign land. As long as these gems are with you on the way, nothing bad will happen. They can be worn both in jewelry and in the form of cabochons or crystals.

Residents of the Celestial Empire extremely respect natural minerals; they know that all these stones are alive and, just like people, are endowed with special energy, you can talk with them and share your most intimate things. Any stone that suits your horoscope or is simply liked by its external qualities can become an amulet or talisman. It is best if it is given by a dear or positive person with good intentions.

Jewelry or amulets with minerals that were used by one person are never given to another, they are only inherited by relatives in order to maintain wealth and health within the clan. The amulets are not put on display and their support is not talked about publicly, so as not to disrupt the protective energy. China today has the largest number of centenarians in the world with high preservation of intelligence and health. Medicine does not hide the fact that this is possible thanks to the total passion for natural gems.
