Collection characteristics of bracelet performance and appreciation

From the collection point of view, bracelets can be used as the main value evaluation criteria from two aspects: material technology and artistic culture. For precious materials, such as jadeite, jadeite, amber, agate, etc. , each has its own material grade, and the appreciation of the grade can directly affect the judgment of value, so distinguishing the authenticity grade has become an extremely important collection basis; The collection value of ordinary materials can be concentrated on the cultural and artistic value, and the collection value of ordinary bracelets can be improved through modeling style, material selection, design and production.

Of course, in China's traditional aesthetics, there is a basic law to follow in the relationship between production technology and materials, that is, high-grade materials use high-grade technology, while low-grade materials are relatively simple. Therefore, as a kind of high-grade jewelry, China ancient string jewelry rarely chooses low-grade materials, and collectors mostly choose high-grade material bracelets made by Seiko. As a kind of rosary, the history of string ornaments can be traced back to the Six Dynasties, so the bracelets as "beads of Buddha" or "counting beads" are another focus of this book.

At first, the seeds of the tree dedicated to rosary were called "Sapindus mukoraiensis", which meant to cancel disaster refuge and cut off hidden dangers. A large number of bracelets in later generations chose tree core and tree, which has a certain origin. In particular, elemene, bodhi and walnut have obvious religious uses. In addition, the manual production of wood and tree materials is mostly combined with the carving process, and the value emphasizes the fineness of the manufacturing process. In addition to the traditional Buddhist themes such as Buddha's head and Buddhist scriptures, there are more secular themes such as boys and girls, so there are more humanistic interests when enjoying and playing. In today's world, talking about topics related to decoration is related to the beauty of the times.

In the appreciation of bracelets, not only traditional collectors and players, but also a large number of young people regard wearing bracelets as a fashion. When appreciating bracelets, they have broken many traditional aesthetics of materials and techniques. They regard bracelets as clothing details that describe personality and identity, pay more attention to the special features of bracelet materials and manufacturing technology, and form a brand-new concept of bracelet appreciation. This book also tries to help this kind of readers. For example, provide simple common sense in the selection and wearing of spar, amber and tree seeds.

By the time of the Republic of China, the use, production and aesthetics of ancient decorative items in China were divided into eight stages. The decorative concepts of the Ming and Qing Dynasties (the seventh stage) and the Republic of China (the eighth stage) had a direct impact on the aesthetics of contemporary traditional bracelets. Because the appreciation of the remains of bracelets is not the focus of this book, but only as a whole. This objective spirit beyond time and space is beyond the scope of this book. In a word, people who love things and the Lord have their own subtleties in appreciating and feeling bracelets, and only sincere people can appreciate the taste.
