Description: NOTES: Necklace Chains Sold Separately. Item's Picture/s Enlarged and/or Zoomed-In Close to Show the Fine Details. - Symbolism: Time taken or required to obtain completion, understanding, and satisfaction. Carving Pattern: All the designs that appear on Chinese textiles, paintings, sculptures, ceramics, jewelry, furniture, snuff bottles, and the myriad of many other aesthetic and folk arts that dominate Chinese culture, have a meaning. Most of these meanings are easily understood. Chinese art, however, employs additional forms of artistic devices; decorative motifs that still communicate very special messages in the eyes of the artisan and the eventual owner. Chinese art contains a whole code of these symbols. Some are based on the similarities of an object's attributes to another object (a metaphor), while others are a play on a word's pronunciation (a pun or rebus). All, however, constitute a visual language or means of expressing a thought or sentiment where the design's symbolic meaning takes precedence over the item being decorated. In Chinese language, the plus sign, equates to the Chinese calligraphy character of shi (+). Shi translates into the number Ten (10) and there are Nine (9) shi characters on this carved jade design. If we consider each of these initial numbers as a pathway into ever increasing complexity and higher knowledge, the nine will be our precipice of our understanding. At the apex of our upward count stands the nine, and in Chinese meaning of numbers it is the jackpot of celestial forces. Interestingly, in Feng Shui, nine sections are cordoned off by agricultural land owners; eight sections of land are cultivated, but the ninth section (in the center of the agricultural blueprint) is classified as the "spiritual or heavenly acre" and is devoted to honor the supreme and sacred. The Chinese meaning of number nine is completion and satisfaction. It represents a high standard of celestial equivalence. When we reach the philosophical height of number nine we have ascended towards an esoteric understanding and have obtained an immense satisfaction. In Chinese astrology, shi or the number 10 represents the 10 Heavenly Stems, and refer to a cyclic number system that is used for time reckoning. - Design: Carved Natural Green Jadeite (Shi) #1; Cutout, Hand-Carved Design, Semi-Oval Shaped, Smooth Surface Polished Jade Finish, Barrel-Tube Slide. - Measures: Approx.
