Customized Happiness, wealth and longevity
Description
Fu, Lu and Shou are the three immortals of Han folk belief, symbolizing happiness, auspiciousness and longevity. "Happiness and Longevity", "Happiness and Longevity" and "Blessing the Stars" are the most popular greetings among the people. [1] Fu, wearing an official hat and holding a jade Ruyi or holding a child in his hand, is the first emperor of the Heavenly Officer, from which the Heavenly Officer's blessing comes; Lu, with Ruyi in hand, means high office and high salary; Shou, a white moustache, holds a dragon's head stick and holds a peach, meaning longevity.
♦ "Fuxing", also known as "God of Happiness", is called "Ziwei Emperor" in Taoism. He is in charge of the distribution of human blessings, and is highly respected among the people. His image is somewhat similar to Zhao Gongming, the god of wealth. He is a rich man with a full sky and a square pavilion. It is said that the god of happiness was appointed by Daozhou (now Hunandao County) of the Tang Dynasty after his death.
♦ "Lu Xing", also known as "Wenchang Star", is the patron saint of scholars and is in charge of fame, wealth and fortune in the world. With the imperial examination system, he began to be respected by the people. His image is like that of a senior official of the imperial court. It is said that Zhang Yazi, the "Zitong God", is also known as the "Wenchang Emperor".
♦ "Longevity Star", also known as "Antarctic Elderly Star", is the god of longevity. Most people believe that the long-lived Peng Zu became the "birthday star" after his death. The most intuitive impression of the "birthday star" is that he has a large forehead, which most people believe is an image created by ancient health preserving techniques. For example, the head of the red crowned crane, which was regarded as a symbol of longevity by the ancient people, rises high. In addition, some people believe that it is a symbol of rejuvenation, because the forehead of a baby is often more obvious because of less hair.
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.
