Why are we wearing Wan Wen?

This is a cultural and historical issue.

The beauty of jade is also very rare since ancient times. It not only looks beautiful, but also has value from birth. Perhaps this is human nature, with a natural appreciation and possession of beautiful gems. From the symbol of power-the symbol of status to the popularization of the general public, it is the innovation of production technology and the times, but no matter how many generations have passed, the pursuit of beautiful jade has never stopped. In the era of war, they seem to disappear. In the era of peace and prosperity, they will flourish. Now they are.

(1) China's culture is Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and no matter what kind of culture is inseparable from literary play. Confucianism advocates official career, advocating that people study and be officials, cultivate one's morality, level the world, and advocate that a gentleman is as gentle as jade. Jade is a symbol of moral character for them, and of course it is also a symbol of status. Otherwise, they won't feel that nothing is better than reading.

(2) Buddhism is the same. I wonder if they had Bodhi rosary on their hands, golden statues in temples and seven treasures of Buddhism in the early days of their establishment. These "luxuries" that once symbolized good wishes and prayers have not become the sky-high Wan Wen we are pursuing today? Whether for Buddhist teachings or the value of universal education itself, these are inseparable from culture. If separated, it is a stone, which is worthless, such as a dzi bead.

(3) Taoism? Taoism is natural, inaction and cultivation of immortals. It feels like a natural way of life, elegant and free and easy. Otherwise, Li Bai can't be called a poetic immortal, which only shows that China people have immortal spirit in their bones, and there is immortal spirit in our blood. This is a kind of mind, which already exists, such as nothing outside the heart. As long as you are willing to practice, or go deep into your heart to find, you will find clues. So is Wan Wen. To put it bluntly, it is life, and it is your life to practice Taoism.
