Who got the name of dzi Zhu? There is no way to prove it. Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan call it Tianzhu, Tibetans call it "Silk" and Han people call it "Nine Eyes". The two books, Prehistoric Beads from Tibet published by Austrian Tibetan scientists René de and Nebesky Wolkovitz 1952 and Gods and Ghosts in Tibet published by 1953, are both called "opals". In the book History of Beads published in 1986, Mr. Dobin Lewis mentioned that this kind of beads is "etched or bleached carnelian". "New Tang Book" records: "Tubo women braid their hair and don't wear pearls. A bead is good for yunzhu, and a good horse is easy for one person. " In the article "The God of Bonism in Tibet", Dr. Gele, a famous Tibetan scholar in modern times, called this kind of bead "nine-eye leprosy". Professor Liu Liangyou, a famous scholar in Taiwan Province, mentioned in the article "Exploring the Origin of the dzi beads" that Tibetan scholars usually call dzi beads "white agate fun", which is a kind of acquisition of Tibetan costumes. Lin Dongguang, a merchant of dzi beads in Taiwan Province Province, called dzi beads from beginning to end in the article "Tibetan dzi beads" published in 1997. Tibetan ancestors believed that the dzi beads were supernatural things created by God, which were naturally generated or descended from the sky. If some people say that dzi beads are a handicraft of "harmony between man and nature", they will strongly object. Ask many Tibetans where the dzi beads came from, and they all tell the same old myth: in ancient times, dzi beads were ornaments worn by immortals. Whenever the beads are damaged or slightly damaged, the immortals throw them along with the biological fossils, which is the same era as Nautilus and trilobites. Some people have presented evidence that the fossil of dzi beads has been seen in the Dingri area of the Himalayas and the fossil mountain in the no-man's land of northern Tibet. The story of the common people goes like this: once a man saw such a bug on the top of the mountain, he threw his hat at it and covered it. When he took off his hat, the bug had petrified and turned into a dzi bead. In the article "Prehistoric Beads in Tibet", Dr. R. Nebesky-Vokowitz tells a legend in Ali area in western Tibet. People think that dzi beads originated from a mountain near Ruddock, and they go down the slope like a stream when it rains heavily. However, one day, a witch stared at the mountain with "evil eyes", so the dzi beads stopped flowing at once. Until today, you can still see the distinctive dzi beads with black and white stripes in the place where dzi beads keep flowing out. There are more than a dozen legends about the origin of dzi beads: 1. Dzi beads are floating creatures, like shellfish and conch. Himalayan mountains are uplifted by orogeny, and fossils of this plankton will come to the world in the uplift. 2. The dzi beads were painted by Indian stones. 3. dzi beads are made of meteorites falling from outer space. 4. dzi beads are a string of creatures like snakes. 5. dzi beads exist in the field or in the excrement of cattle and sheep. 6. The dzi bead is a dead insect, a fossil of an insect, or a crystalline fossil of Dapeng Golden Winged Bird. 7. dzi beads are flying, running and crawling insects. 8. Tianzhu can be captured in the Tianzhu grassland in Tibet. 9. The dzi bead is a weapon made in Asura to deal with Indra (the supreme ruler in Buddhism, equivalent to the Jade Emperor in Taoism). 10. dzi beads are precious ornaments of the gods. 1 1. Find the dzi bead cave or the dzi bead nest and get the dzi bead. 12. dzi beads flowing from the dzi beads spring in Ali. 13. The mother of the Supreme Wang Konghai dropped magical pearls to save the suffering of victims in Tibetan areas and eliminate diseases. 14. Tianbao sown by the predecessor of Zhu Wen Bodhisattva. 15. Tianzhu is one of the treasures in the treasure house of a big food country (namely Persia). 16. dzi beads are the treasures of the agate kingdom. (The above 16 legend is taken from Taiwan Province Tianzhu businessman Lin Dongguang's Tibetan Tianzhu. ) So what is Tianzhu? From the research and physical and chemical identification of experts at home and abroad, dzi beads are agate beads etched by strong alkali and nitrate.
