Customized Dragon Pencil Holder of the Chinese Zodiac
Description
Dragons are an auspicious divine animal species in Chinese mythology and legend. An embodiment of the quintessence of the rich and profound Chinese culture, Chinese all over the world are proud to be the descendants of dragons. Worship of the dragons as a totem originates from its symbolization of not only auspice, wealth and nobility, but also of the emperor himself and his absolute paramount power. The Chinese dragon culture is a fusion of various Chinese cultural perspectives developed along China’s long history and passed down through generations till today. Amongst a multitude of literature on dragons, the most descriptive one has to be the well-known “9-likes”: bull-like head, deer-like horns, hare-like dyes, ox-like ears, fish-like scales, serpent-like body, frog-like abdomen, hawk-like claws, tiger-like paws and gong-like howls. Breathing clouds and fogs, they can spit either torrents or flames. Their changeable and mystical features have made them a spiritual host of people’s belief. As dragons’ descendants, many have crossed mountains and oceans, and are now living and working on a foreign land. For a better life and for the well-being of their descendants, they have worked hard and achieved well.
The dragon can ride in the clouds and stir up the clouds and waters all over the world with boundless power. It can also help people. The world is full of drought and waterlogging, the crops are plentiful and poor, and the world is a blessing or a curse, all according to its will, so I like it.
The dragon gives me the feeling that it is fierce and beautiful, but I think the dragon is not as fierce as it appears. It is like a conscientious old man guarding what he wants to guard. The fierce is just to frighten those dishonest people.
The dragon is a god born in the water. It is as small as a silkworm ant and can stretch for days. Sometimes exposed in the clouds, sometimes invisible into the abyss. The dragon is extremely powerful. It can stir up clouds and waters all over the world.
China’s glass art has a long history. It was recorded as early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Glass is a valuable art. However, in recent years, a large number of low-priced “water glass” products have appeared in the market. In fact, this is a “imitation glass” product, not a real glass. Consumers should distinguish this.
The production process of ancient glass is quite complex. It takes dozens of processes to complete the process of coming from fire and going into water. The production of exquisite ancient glass is quite time-consuming. Some of the production process alone takes ten to twenty days, and mainly depends on manual production. It is very difficult to grasp all the links, and the difficulty in grasping the heat can be said to depend on skill and luck.
Because the hardness of glass is relatively strong, it is equivalent to the strength of jade. However, it is also relatively brittle and cannot be beaten or collided forcefully. Therefore, after owning a glass work, we should pay attention to its maintenance. During maintenance, we should pay attention to the following matters;
1. Do not move by collision or friction to avoid surface scratches.
2. Keep it at normal temperature, and the real-time temperature difference should not be too large, especially do not heat or cool it by yourself.
3. The flat surface is smooth and should not be placed directly on the desktop. There should be gaskets, usually soft cloth.
4. When cleaning, it is advisable to wipe with purified water. If tap water is used, it should be left standing for more than 12 hours to maintain the luster and cleanness of the glass surface. Oil stains and foreign matters are not allowed.
5. During storage, avoid contact with sulfur gas, chlorine gas and other corrosive substances to avoid chemical reaction and damage to finished products.
