What does it mean to wear gold and silver in ancient times?

Gold and silver are also a kind of wealth, and gold is an auspicious thing to gather wealth. There is an inherent saying that "everything prospers with gold at home", and the so-called wearing is just a cover-up, not wearing it outside, and silver is for wealth, so there is a saying that "the world wears banks, and it is difficult to do without silver" because of banks and silver dollars.

So the ancients always wore silver ornaments, and later they made beautiful ornaments to wear! It is also said that gold and silver are married by men and women, and the sun and the moon correspond at night and during the day. This is by no means a coincidence of nature, but a natural law.

The sterilization and disinfection of silver is also a function, which is recorded in the compendium of materia medica. In particular, people use silver as a water container and drink silver ionized water. The real function is to nourish yin, improve immunity and increase metabolism.

Wearing silver jewelry has many advantages:

1. Silver ion has a strong bactericidal effect, which can kill 650 kinds of germs. When the articles to be disinfected are covered with silver, the bacteria will be killed after a period of time, and silver can be made into tableware for disinfection.

Before liberation, the tableware of landlords and local tyrants were all made of silver. First of all, it is to detect and identify poisons to prevent them from being counted. Second, it can sterilize, protect health and prolong life.

If you put a glass of water or milk in an ordinary cup for a period of time, it will change color, taste and quality, but not in a silver cup.

2. Newborn babies wearing a long life lock can eliminate the "fetal poison" in the body and at the same time play the role of avoiding evil and resisting shock.

3. Silver can absorb toxicity. After taking the medicine, the surface of silver sulfide will turn red, yellow and black-that is, silver sulfide. The ancients used this feature to make a drug detection tool-silver needle. It is often seen in martial arts films that martial arts masters carry silver needles with them to test whether the food is poisonous before eating.

4. Silver can also measure people's physique. After long-term wear, it becomes whiter and brighter, indicating good health. The more you wear, the yellower, redder or blacker the color, indicating poor physical fitness.
