The English word for jewelry is [jewelry], which originated from the French word [joy], meaning [joy]-happiness. If you choose it properly and wear it skillfully, it can make you happy and radiant. However, how to choose jewelry and how to wear it skillfully is appropriate? This should start with human temperament. The so-called temperament is a comprehensive internal feature of human physiology and psychology. It has many meanings, a wide range, calm and lively, sensitive and plain, delicate and rough, mature and naive, which shows that everyone's temperament is very different. Jewelry and its wearing have always been an absolutely important lesson in people's aesthetic activities. Jewelry will have different feelings because of different materials, colors, textures, patterns and styles, and different workmanship, including different use and wearing methods. According to these different characteristics, people give jewelry different connotations, which is the personality color of jewelry. People with different temperament, if they choose jewelry properly, can not only enhance the personality color of jewelry, but also shape their charming charm and personality, so that people and jewelry complement each other, otherwise they will erode each other and lose each other. The historical origin of this paragraph is 1. From the data of Paleolithic and modern primitive tribes found all over the world, people can find that the early primitive human body ornaments are mainly necklaces, waist ornaments, arm ornaments, wrist ornaments, headdresses and so on. And these forms are mainly necklaces and waist ornaments. To a large extent, they are decorated around the reproductive area of the human body. The reason is that these parts have the ability to support the wearer, and a large number of studies show that this choice has another purpose. 2. The colors and patterns of animals are also a kind of body decoration. Natural body ornaments such as headdresses, necklaces, breastpieces and tails of male birds often change and display regularly during the breeding season, which are quite effective in attracting the opposite sex. A large number of biological materials prove that the beautiful decoration of animals has great advantages in the process of sexual selection. Human body tattoo is a form similar to body decoration, which is a qualitative change of the extension of animal natural decoration. 3. The earliest human ornaments found around the world in the late Paleolithic period, whether animal teeth, feathers or stone beads, have a very remarkable feature: smooth, regular, small and beautiful. This feature further illustrates the important psychological motives of body decoration, such as dressing up, showing off oneself and attracting the opposite sex. Therefore, it is very scientific to deduce the psychological origin of body ornaments from the aesthetic feeling of physiological instinct. The function of "beautifying the human body" evolved from this origin motive is the most primitive and fundamental function of jewelry. Jewelry 4. There are two other important motivations in the origin and development of jewelry, one is religious functional motivation, and the other is social functional motivation, which are based on physiological instinctive motivation and developed and evolved on this basis. Religion originated from the witchcraft of prehistoric people, and the religious motivation for the development of human body ornaments was gradually formed and deeply rooted in people's hearts under the guidance of this witchcraft thought in prehistoric people's witchcraft activities. In the process of labor practice, primitive humans gradually formed a hazy and mysterious view on some substances in nature that are closely related to their lives, such as fruits, seeds, feathers, teeth, bones, stones (jade) and so on. They even regard them as objects of worship in witchcraft activities and give them mysterious power. For example, they string the fruits or seeds of plants on the mother's body and pray for reproduction; Hanging the fur, teeth and bones of hunting animals on the body to achieve the success of hunting and their own safety; The worship of stone (jade) comes from primitive people's deep affection for stone tools, among which those with slight luster and bright colors are regarded as gifts given by a mysterious master in their minds. They carefully collect and protect them, and gradually enrich the connotation of this natural worship in the process, which is the origin of the initial enlightenment of Chinese jade culture. Jade has always been regarded as a kind of natural worship with rich spirituality in various cultures of the Stone Age in China, and it was widely used in witchcraft ceremonies. They were carried around by prehistoric people, one as a decoration to beautify themselves and the other as a mascot to ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters. In the western ancient civilization, colored gems has been known by people for a long time, and has been endowed with some mysterious religious power in the process of being familiar with and used by people.
