Is the bead of Dzi the purest? The difference between the purest dzi and the Taiwanese dzi

The term "purest dzi" has only appeared in recent decades, and the dzi community is very large. The "Purest Dzi" as we know it is only a middle and late branch of its ethnic group, and its age is only a thousand years. The pattern totem drawing of the "Purest Dzi" also refers to the silk agate.

The reason why "pure" is very "special", in addition to the reason for the artificial hype in the later stage, because of its short existence time and the use of a special "etching" process, so the amount left is not much, resulting in the situation of "hard to find a pearl" today.

The purest dzi inlay dyeing technology has been lost, the Taiwanese have actually moved this thought, that is, to use the purest dzi to change the pattern to make the eyes more or become more valuable patterns, but with the current chemical dyeing method on the whole dzi on the black core, so, now many gray agate dyed dzi dzi can be seen after disconnecting, the inside is black, and the real purest dzi is required at least from the Tang Dynasty to the present day of the agate material ancient beads to be qualified to be called the purest dzi, of course, it is estimated that there is a bar essence will also say, The Tang Dynasty is not the origin of dzi, yes, that's right, there have been foreign archaeologists who have also published articles saying that dzi has been found in the tombs of the Silk Road, which pushes history forward to the Western Han Dynasty, but this is only a single case and there are no exact relevant reports and records, so the industry still admits to take Tang Qi as the benchmark.

Now there are more and more dzi beads, and they are becoming more and more popular, so ask what kind of dzi is a fine product, how to distinguish it?

The dzi is as follows:The purest dzi generally refers to the dzi that is very old. Dzi refers to the flower-etching beads with similar eyes, lines and other religious patterns made in a certain period, with specific methods and selected raw materials.

Previously, scholars named it "etched agate or chalcedony" according to its craftsmanship and visual characteristics.

Introduction:

In both books, it is referred to as "opal". Durbin.

Mr. Lewis's book The History of Beads, published in 1986, mentions these beads as "etched or bleached carnelian." "New Tang Dynasty Book".

Record: "Tibet.

The woman braids her hair, wears no beads, and the good one of the cloud beads is easy for a good horse. ”

The purest dzi, that is, the old dzi. The so-called purest is a bead made in the most authentic way. Taiwan dzi can see the pulp, the real Taiwan dzi will form an oxide film on the surface after wearing it for a period of time, while the imitation dzi can not absorb sweat and oil, so it cannot form a pulp.

The purest dzi refers to the dzi that is very old.

The so-called purest is a bead made in the most authentic way. "The purest dzi" must be made with the second type process, which is opaque, and needs to be black and white, the totem is regular, and the quality is perfect. In order to achieve the purest dzi, generally speaking, it needs to be comprehensively embodied in three aspects: material, craftsmanship and totem.

In terms of the ancient inlay technology that is currently known, old beads can be roughly divided into five types:

1. The acid-reducing paint is directly coated with white lines of raw agate and chalcedony, and then formed after heating at high temperature;

2. Coat the natural raw material with alkaline compounds, then heat them to make them whiten as a whole, and then coat them with copper nitrate and heat them to form dark stripes;

3. Direct agate raw materials are coated with heating to form black stripe coating, which is made by heating at one time;

4. Coated with alkaline compound in the middle of natural agate, then heated to whiten the middle section, and then coated with copper nitrate at the whitening place to make wire beads by heating;

5. Directly coated with alkaline compounds and copper nitrate on the raw agate, without coating at both ends, and made by heating at one time.

The purest dzi is agate, cat's eye, a gemstone. The properties are sedimentary rocks containing jade and agate and crystal ores.

The earliest Dzi is Zhangzhung Dzi, which was born in the ancient Zhangzhung Kingdom, the most powerful ancient civilization across Central Asia and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is the sacred relic of Yongzhong Buddhism and the first of the seven treasures of the Tibetan people.

Zhangxiong Dzi is enshrined and blessed by the great achievers and high monks to offer to the Buddha or to hide and pass down from the generations, and the existing (old) Dzi are all relics of the ancients, which are extremely rare and rare. Zhangxiong Dzi is the oldest and purest dzi that has been witnessed by physical objects, and it is an extremely rare and rare treasure. Zhangxiong Dzi is a product of the ancient Zhangxiong civilization.

It is a sacred relic of Buddhism.

Each thousand years to the pure dzi of the totem contains the mysterious blessing power, since ancient times is the most mysterious blessing power of the Buddha holy relics, non-Buddha fate is deep blessing huge people are difficult to see, get, since ancient times there is a pearl and easy good horse fifty horses.

To this day, Tibetan compatriots can still take the ancient and pure dzi to the Barkhor Street Urban Credit Cooperative in Lhasa City for financial mortgages, and can even directly use it as cash to buy houses and livestock.

Dzi to pure belongs to the process of eroded agate dzi dzi, is the nineties in Taiwan and Hong Kong set off a dzi collection fever after the emergence of the name and classification, it has certain requirements for the age, technology, quality and totems, generally refers to those ancient years, totem regular, perfect quality, the use of type two inlay agate technology to make dzi. The production process of this dzi is more complicated, it is necessary to make the silk agate into a hair embryo first, and then use a white dye to whiten the hair embryo as a whole, and then use an anti-dye agent to draw a totem pattern on the surface of the bead after the whitening is completed, and finally after blackening, roasting, grinding and polishing, and punching to be completed.

Dzi is pure due to the special process, compared with other types of dzi, there are obviously different identification characteristics, such as its beads are basically milky white from the inside out, the color of the blackened part of the surface mostly stays on the surface, the dyeing is not deep, and the ends of the beads are generally relatively rounded. In addition, due to the long existence of the beads, a layer of natural oily pulp is often visible on the surface, as well as a large number of weathering lines and cinnabar spots from the inside out, which are not found in the new imitation beads, of course, this does not include the new beads that have been worn.
