A set of silver ornaments when the Qing Dynasty women were married

In 2003, my friend and I went to Dizhai for the sake of the incident, and inadvertently found a set of silver jewelry when the Qing Dynasty women were married. At that time, the stall owner’s bid was very high, and I was helpless. I found two friends to “price” as a buyer (that is, to lower the price and defeat the seller’s psychological defense). After several times, I finally had an ideal. The price gets this set of silver jewelry.

There are five varieties of silver jewelry, one chest hanging, one pair of earrings, a pair of scorpions, a ring, and a lucky umbrella. This set of jewelry is extremely high in silver and beautifully engraved. Each piece of jewelry is engraved with "Ji language" and auspicious patterns. It can be concluded that if the official is not a bureaucrat, it must be a dowry for the big family. The main chest is about 1 cm thick and 54 cm in a rounded shape.

The middle of the front is engraved with the words "long life and wealth", the lower part and the two sides are bat lotus petals, and the surrounding is decorated with bamboo patterns. In the middle of the back is a unicorn with a boy with a smile and a smile, surrounded by Xiangyun. This chest strap has a silver chain of one or two feet long, and the two sides of the silver chain are equipped with two buckets that symbolize the richness and a bell that symbolizes auspiciousness. The pair of earrings is a 4 cm open ring. The front pattern of the earrings consists of upper and lower parts. The upper part is a bat pattern of silk craftsmanship. It has six silver chains with lanterns. The silver chain is about 5 cm long. The bottom is made of silk. Double money pattern, double money has five silver chains with small coins.

The entire earring is about 10 cm long and the design atmosphere is not too delicate. A pair of fixed hairpins are about 8 cm long, with a twisted knife pattern on the roots and three silver bell plum patterns on the bat. It is also a silk welding process. The silver ring of a young lady is open-ended, and the entire ring face is hollowed out. The bats are engraved on both sides, and the top and bottom are entangled leaves, and three silver chains of one centimeter long plum blossoms. The most peculiar thing is a very fine umbrella-shaped ornament, which is obviously influenced by Tibetan Buddhism.

It was intended to be shaded by umbrellas, and later evolved into an instrument of ceremonies, meaning that it was supremely supreme, and gradually extended its meaning to cover the magical obstacles. The umbrella-shaped part of the ornament has a diameter of 2.5 cm. The middle part is composed of a goldfish and a lotus petal, and is surrounded by a tangled leaflet. Four silver chains with goldfish are placed around the umbrella. The lower part of the umbrella should also be a Guanyin or a lady. Unfortunately, I don't know when it has been lost.

According to historical records, the custom of wearing silver jewelry in China can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty more than 3,000 years ago. At that time, most of the crafts were simple and plain. In the late Warring States period, the engraving pattern on the flat surface has been widely seen. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with the extensive exchanges between the East and the West, the engraving process was gradually matured and perfected. Due to the limitations of cognition, the patterns and jiji of these jewellery are related to religion. For example, the “Auspicious Treasure Umbrella” completely preserves the culture of Tibetan Buddhism, and the “long life and wealth” and the bat double money unicorn pattern are the best evidence of the mutual influence of Tibetan Buddhism culture and Han culture.
