Beeswax is a kind of amber, which is no different from amber in physical composition and chemical composition, but it is named because of its "color like honey and light like wax". Beeswax is very popular because of its soft texture and warm color. Amber is a natural resin fossil, which was secreted by conifers 40 million to 60 million years ago. It was buried deep in the ground after the crustal changes and gradually evolved. Amber can be divided into transparent amber and opaque amber according to transparency. Opaque amber, which is like honey in color and has the same luster and texture as wax, is traditionally called "beeswax". The beeswax is delicate in color, warm in texture and feels extremely friendly. It has always been a competition between dignitaries to collect treasures for fun. Amber has been regarded as a precious wealth since ancient times. Chinese medicine believes that amber can soothe the nerves and help sleep. Amber is listed as one of the seven treasures in Buddhism, which is auspicious for Buddhists. Amber is very popular as an ornament abroad. Whether in the East or in the West, amber is loved by people for its warm color and simplicity and elegance.

40 million to 50 million years ago, the earth was covered with vast virgin forests. Due to the destruction of the storm, the bombardment of lightning, the trampling of wild animals, the branches of trees are broken. Among them, the broken "wound" of Pinaceae plants exudes resin, which attracts many insects because of its fragrance, sticks to it and wraps it inside. Tens of thousands of years later, due to the rapid movement of crustal structure, a large area of forests were buried deep in the strata, and the carbon in the trees was rich in coal, while the resin formed amber fossils in the coal seam.

In ancient China, the royal ladies regarded amber as an auspicious thing with far-reaching implications; Newborns can take refuge in disasters and have a safe life; Newcomers who wear her can always live in harmony and happiness with young couples, because at that time, people thought amber was "made by the death of a tiger." For this reason, the Buddhist community also regards amber as a sacred object.

In countries where Buddhism spreads, such as Japan, South Korea, Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan Province, religious people regard having a beautiful amber as a talisman as a blessing. In ancient Europe, amber, which was called "the gold of the north", was mostly owned by nobles. From the late 18th century to the early 19th century, amber became the treasure of American upstarts. The amber necklace worn by the then first lady of the United States, Mary Washington, is still on display in the American History Museum.

Moist as jade, brilliant as gold, crystal clear as diamonds, amber has a very strong plasticity, which can be fine and delicate, stable and elegant, and can also be avant-garde. As a unique and eternal life destination, amber is more meaningful-amber is a beautiful legend and a kind of fate, which began 50 million years ago.

Amber is also divided into three categories: Amber, Jin Po, Huo Po and Wapper, each with its own personality and aesthetic feeling!

Ancient China people's understanding of amber is quite strange. Legend has it that it was changed by tigers. For example, Huang Xiu in the Song Dynasty copied the legend that the tiger's soul turned into amber when it was buried underground. In this regard, even Li Shizhen, a great pharmacologist in Ming Dynasty, mistakenly believed that it was true. He said: "When a tiger dies, its spirit turns into stone, which looks like it, hence its name." Folk literature follows jade, and jade is like a person. However, Wei, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, had a unique vision. In the poem "Ode to Amber", he revealed the secret: "I used to be old Shen Fu, but this is a cold truffle. Gnats fall into it, which is still considerable for thousands of years ",vividly describing the causes of amber.

There are many kinds of amber, which is extremely precious. According to Tiangong Wu Kai, amber with yellow and reddish cat's eyes is the most valuable, "its price is five times that of gold". In many amber, yellow is a "shipper" as heavy as a rock; The same red and yellow, colorful "flower woman"; There are also Lingpo, Lapo, Mingpo, Xiangpo, Xuepo and Meipo. , dazzling.

Nowadays, amber is used in many fields, such as extracting spices with amber; Processing into succinic acid and paint; Used as insulating material in electronic industry; Carving all kinds of exquisite handicrafts with amber is especially popular with Chinese and foreign consumers. Amber is also a good medicine for treating diseases, and it is listed as the top grade in the famous doctor's catalogue.
