The Tibetan pronunciation of dzi Zhu is "Sisi Lee", which means beauty, virtue and wealth, while in Sanskrit, dzi Zhu is called "bring disgrace to oneself". As early as the Tang Dynasty, dzi beads were known, and a European named Laufer wrote a textual research on oriental turquoise in 19 13. He quoted the word "rustling" in the Book of the Tang Dynasty and several classic books of the Tang Dynasty for comparative textual research. The statement said that Tibetan officials with the highest taste had a string of "rustling" on their shoulders. In the book Prehistoric Beads from Tibet and Tibetan Ghosts and Ghosts published in 1952, René de Nebesky Wolkowitz, an Austrian Tibetan scholar, called it "opal". In the history of beads, Dobin Lewis called it "etched or bleached carnelian". Dr Geller, a famous anthropologist, called it "having fun with nine eyes" in his thesis "The God of Bonism in Tibet".
Natural dzi beads refer to dzi beads made of pure natural materials after polishing. One is a dzi bead made of conch fossils, called conch dzi bead. The other is a dzi bead polished with nine-eyed stone containing jade and agate, which is also called Tian Yan dzi bead.
Due to the scarcity of raw materials at that time, these two kinds of natural dzi beads were extremely rare, the most famous of which is the nine-eyed "Fallot dzi bead" king, a national treasure now enshrined in Jokhang Temple in Tibet.
At present, the products of artificial materials (glass, resin, chemically treated stones, etc.). ) There are artificial dzi beads or imitation dzi beads with regular patterns on the market.

Snail dzi beads are formed by the evolution of snail fossils in the ancient Mediterranean after hundreds of millions of years, each of which
They all have different shapes, which are scarce and unrepeatable, and the denser snails are the more precious.
Due to the influence of space meteorites on this area. It contains 14 outer space elements, among which
Ytterbium element in the middle is particularly prominent, so the magnetic field of snail dzi beads is strong. Regarded as a "god" by Tibetan ancestors
The "treasure worn" is also the ultimate sacred object of the Buddha.
Tibetan ancestors discovered and began to polish snails, dzi beads and snails in the Paleolithic Age.
The life of dzi beads is presented to the world in the form of jade fossils, which is itself a miracle of life. The life she carries is as eternal as nirvana, and every snail seems to be a newborn baby.
The origin of the snail dzi beads is still a mystery. Some scholars have found that there is a small amount of soft living cell tissue in the cross section of snail dzi beads, which is another unsolved mystery in the scientific field.
The ultimate sacred object of hiding secrets
It is written in the Buddhist dictionary: "The Buddha's hair is twisted into a snail." Instant Sakyamuni
Muny's hair is eternal curly spiral hair, representing the supreme wisdom of the Buddha.
French snail, Sanskrit for "commercial law", translated into Chinese for "kebei", that is, snail shell. In Buddhist culture, the culture of "snail" is particularly special. All living things can hear the sound of snails. One of them, Guanyin with a thousand hands, holds a snail, which means calling the gods.
Tibetan ancestors called the dzi beads made of conch fossils "snail dzi beads". Among many kinds of dzi beads, only pharmaceutical dzi beads are solidified by "life", which is why Rinpoche has a special liking for pharmaceutical dzi beads in past dynasties.
As for the merits and demerits of the snail, Volume 18 of the True Sutra of Empty Change says: "If you bless the snail, look at it from a height and blow it loudly, all beings in the four generations will be able to give up their lives and wait for the sky." "A Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes" says: "If you want to call the gods, use snail hands." It means to summon the gods.
When people paint the treasures in Thangka, they often paint snails for decoration. Snail dzi beads are also the top collection of Tibetans to attract wealth and ward off evil spirits.
Evolution of dzi beads
edit
The earliest natural dzi beads were polished from conch fossils. Later, due to the scarcity of fossils, ancient Tibetans began to polish dzi beads with a sedimentary rock containing jade and agate. This sedimentary rock has a strong magnetic field and naturally forms regular patterns, mainly eyeballs, supplemented by triangles and quadrangles, which are said to ward off evil spirits. After pondering, the finished product highlights the eye makeup pattern and is an invaluable Buddhist sacred object-dzi beads. Later, due to the scarcity of Jiuyan shale, the ancients in Tibet began to imitate the patterns of sedimentary rocks, artificially draw dzi beads on agate with herbs and colors, and then fired them at high temperature. This ancient processing method has been lost. ...
Nowadays, with the rise of Tibetan Buddhism, people begin to process dzi beads in large quantities. Most artificial dzi beads are made by painting eyes with lead-containing pigments and then firing them at high temperature.
What is a dzi bead? What is its value? How to identify him?
What are the "dzi beads" in big shops and small shops in Lhasa now, and where are they made? For these, not only mainland tourists are confused, but they often spend thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan to buy one with a purchase price of only tens or hundreds of yuan; For Tibetans and Han people working in Tibet, it is also a coincidence, and there is no agreement. Tibetan "King of dzi beads" Gama Sangzhu and other dzi beads collectors have discussed it many times and referred to the works of many experts and scholars at home and abroad on dzi beads. Here, I would like to talk about some views on this issue from the perspective of collection, so as to facilitate colleagues who are interested in it to discuss and purchase dzi beads for reference.
The origin of dzi beads
Every totem from the Millennium to the pure dzi beads contains mysterious blessing power. It has been the most mysterious Buddhist relic since ancient times, and the far-reaching blessing of non-Buddha is enormous.
It is difficult for people to see and get it. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that a bead is worth fifty horses. Up to now, Tibetan friends can still take the ancient and pure dzi beads to the urban credit cooperatives in Barkhor Street, Lhasa for financial mortgage loans, and even buy houses and livestock as cash.
The Tibetan pronunciation of Tianzhu is translated into dzi(zee), which means solemn, extraordinary, auspicious, rich, rewarding, beautiful, noble and elegant. Up to now, Tibetans generally believe that the dzi bead is a gem with extraordinary magic worn by the gods, and it is a gem that the gods help mankind tide over difficulties and hardships, turn the corner and sprinkle it on the world.
As for dzi beads, neither the relevant state departments nor the world dzi beads collection groups can give a scientific explanation of its origin and origin, but the legendary story surrounding it has never stopped since ancient times.
Tibetan historical stories
God left a treasure from the world.
Since ancient times, there has been a national historical story with secular wisdom myth or national significance among Tibetans. They believe that everything is animistic, and immortals, heavenly soldiers, mountain monsters and fairy tree monsters all have different abilities and energies. Therefore, the "dzi beads" are treasures that fall from the hands of immortals, which can eliminate disasters, generate wealth, transport wealth and receive blessings.
The mountain god gave the world a treasure to eliminate disasters.
There used to be an upright mountain god in Tibet who let the dzi beads flow out of the mysterious dzi bead spring to eliminate disasters, diseases, exorcism and demons, but one day an evil-eyed witch.
Spell the spring water to make it no longer produce, so the number of dzi beads is fixed and circulates in the world.
Gems in Guo Da's Treasures
Tianzhu is one of the national treasures of the continent. Under the protection of the gods, King Gelsall, the ancient leader of Tibet, took out dzi beads from the king's treasure house to reward soldiers. The dzi beads were brought back to Tibetan areas and passed down from generation to generation, so they have the dual energy of King Gelsall and protecting the gods.
Tibetan couple's secret Buddha treasure
Thousands of years ago, there was a Tibetan couple who were keen to collect special stones in the Himalayas and make colorful patterns with special pigments supplemented by Tibetan medicine to worship monks and Buddhists. The drugs and pigments used in this technique need to go through secret methods, which are extremely difficult to master and cannot be used correctly by ordinary people. Since the couple died, this technology has been lost, and the dzi beads preserved in the world are sacred objects and heirlooms of Buddhist temples.
Buddhist magic weapon sacred object
Boni amulet: In the ancient Xiangxiong era, Boni monks went to Nepal to seek Dharma tantra. When the monk disciple left, the guru gave him some beads containing various blessings and great energy as amulets, hoping that his disciples could spread Buddhism widely and protect the people.
Buddha soldiers of Sakyamuni
Buddha Sakyamuni personally laid 6.5438+10,000 dzi beads as Buddhist soldiers to purify the boundary and order of the six divisions in the wheel of karma, so dzi beads are extremely superior and rich in Buddhist karma. On the contrary, it is said that the dzi bead is one of the six Buddhist ways. Asura, who was aggressive by nature, made this weapon against the emperor's explanation, so he was regarded as an unnatural, unnatural and inhuman thing. The mysterious power contained in it can only be guided by the situation after being blessed by the guardian mage or the German monk.
Eliminate disasters and transport Buddha treasures.
At that time, the epidemic situation in Tibetan areas was very serious and life was extremely miserable. The mother of the supreme king of the empty sea sympathized with all sentient beings and put down her magic weapon dzi beads when practicing dharma in heaven. The person who is destined to get can eliminate all diseases, disasters and bad luck and turn the corner. There is also a saying that Manjusri Bodhisattva, the predecessor of Manjusri Bodhisattva, planted dzi beads more than 3,000 years ago: at that time, a great plague broke out in various countries in the Himalayan region, causing countless casualties. The "Shuman Shili Buddha" happened to pass through the area, witnessed the tragic situation of the people, felt infinite compassion in his heart, and threw a dzi bead to save the disaster. Dzi beads are scattered in fields, Yuan Ye and mountains. Anyone who finds dzi beads will get better and even recover.
Disaster transportation Buddha treasure
According to legend, the "dzi bead" is a treasure protected by the gods of Buddhism. No matter who owns the dzi beads, they can have unparalleled energy. The dzi beads are magic weapons and sacred objects to eliminate disasters, attract wealth, transport wealth and receive blessings.
Buddha soldiers of Sakyamuni
There is also a saying that Buddha Sakyamuni personally laid 100,000 gods to protect the Buddha and turned them into 100,000 dzi beads, so as to clear the world and clear the boundaries and order of the six divisions in the wheel of karma. Therefore, it is said that the dzi beads, which are thousands of years old and pure, have boundless magic power, extraordinary magical powers and extensive Buddhist origins.
The scientific legend of dzi beads
The product of Himalayan movement
In ancient times, Tibet was once the sea of Wang Yang. Because of Himalayan orogeny, mysterious plankton with shell and meat similar to shellfish and conch were left here, and the dry shell of the corpse was fossilized into dzi beads.
Meteorites falling from outer space
In ancient times, meteorites from outer space fell into hiding places and scattered in the mountains of Yuan Ye. Because of its special shape, practitioners collect and build altars and meditate on the altars, which strengthens the special efficacy of this special substance and has been handed down by monks to this day.
In a word, no matter what kind of statement about the origin of dzi beads, there is a characteristic, which is to protect all beings, eliminate diseases and eliminate disasters, which means auspiciousness. When interviewing Mr. Andy, the world's first collector of dzi beads, based on his personal religious experience of traveling in Tibetan areas for many years, making friends with living buddhas and monks, and converting to Tantric Buddhism, what he said at most was "extraordinary victory". This is not only his profound recognition of dzi Zhu culture, but also a summary of dzi Zhu aesthetics. This is a more scarce existence than diamonds and any natural products in the world. Its shape gives people an awe-inspiring feeling of "beauty", and this unique material, because of its aesthetic feeling, scarcity and efficacy, as well as the cultural generality, has already developed into a universal treasure, and with the spread of its culture, the scarcity will be even greater.
Classification of dzi beads
edit
Classification of natural dzi beads:
1, round plate bead (also called eye stone, eyeball, eye plate bead, etc. );
2. Pharmacist beads (mostly natural threads and artificially etched);
3. Silk-wrapped agate (many commercial aliases);
4.Pharma dzi beads (once the Himalayan region was an ocean, and Pharma dzi beads were once fossils of aquatic organisms, so they were regarded as sacred because of their roundness);
5. Silicified wood (some trees in desert areas can be jadeite, and a few have rings on them, which can be polished into ornaments);
6, Qian Shi (intensive phobia patients carefully search).
Classification of artificial dzi beads:
Artificial dzi beads are called "inlaid agate", "inlaid chalcedony", "etched agate" and "etched chalcedony" in theoretical circles. Because the ancestors did not know the difference between monocrystalline silicon dioxide and polycrystalline silicon dioxide, there is no difference between agate and chalcedony, hereinafter referred to as agate.
1, according to the etching materials, it can be divided into alkali etching agate bath pickling agate. Nitric acid is generally used for pickling, and vegetable alkali is generally used for alkali corrosion.
2. According to the place of origin, it can be divided into Tibetan dzi beads (black lines are painted after white etching), West Asian dzi beads (white lines are etched on red chalcedony), Indian dzi beads (white lines are painted after black etching, such as "Zhu Shou" on turtle back) and Nepalese dzi beads (black and white lines are alternately etched on transparent agate).
3. According to the division of network scholars, it can be divided into pure system, collapse system and impact system.
4. Five methods in Dr. 4.Nebesky Wolkowitz's paper "Prehistoric Beads in Tibet".
To sum up, the dzi bead should be a natural and beautiful stone excavated by people's "eye worship" or "circle totem", which makes the body comfortable due to psychological effects when worn. Under the influence of faith, the ancestors wore them in large quantities, which led to a shortage of goods, and then tried artificial etching. At this point, artificial dzi beads were formed.
Finally, emphasize the inlaid chalcedony. The origin of this kind of beads is earlier than the pure dzi beads in Tibet, but the mosaic technique has never been lost. Some western archaeologists also recorded the production process, which originally belonged to Babylonian jewelry (said to be the currency of Babylon). Later, Islam came into being, and it also attached great importance to the mosaic of chalcedony. At present, there are still red chalcedony inlaid in Arabic in Beijing Antique City. In the field of Buddhism, it is also said that carnelian is the seven treasures of Buddhism (but some scholars think that "red pearl" is not carnelian, but various views such as southern red agate, red coral, fish otolith, snake treasure and bamboo rice. ), and all scholars believe that it belongs to the seven treasures of Buddhism. At present, there is a considerable defect in the identification of such beads, that is, the problem of "new corrosion of old beads" I hope collectors will start with caution.
The origin of the name
edit
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". 1952 Prehistoric Beads from Tibet published by Austrian Tibetan scientists René de and Nebesky Volkowitz and 1953 published Gods and Ghosts in Tibet.
Both books are called Opal. 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.
The ancestors of Tibet 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 tell us.
Natural dzi beads? (5 sheets)
There is an old myth: in ancient times, dzi beads were decorations worn by immortals. Whenever beads are damaged or slightly damaged, immortals throw them away from biological fossils, which is the same era as nautilus and trilobites. People found conch fossil dzi beads in Dingri area of Himalaya and fossil mountain in 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, natural dzi beads with bright eye patterns can be seen in places where dzi beads are constantly flowing out.
The value of dzi beads
edit
Multiple values make dzi beads expensive.
According to Andy, a famous collector of dzi beads, dzi beads have several incomparable factors such as jadeite and diamond. Andy believes that jadeite and diamonds are valuable for three reasons: beauty, scarcity and public recognition. "Tianzhu will have at least 100 times the appreciation space in the future. First of all, compared with jadeite and diamond, the number of dzi beads is less than 100 times; Secondly, Tianzhu's popularity has gradually increased in recent years and has been recognized by the public; Third, the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees wisdom, and the various totems of Tianzhu also bring good feelings. "
In addition, Andy believes that every dzi bead has passed through thousands of years of inheritance and development, and it is extremely rare that it can be passed down to this day and remain intact. Its historical inheritance value is very high. Moreover, the totem of each dzi bead has its unique meaning, and some scientists analyze it like the atlas of human DNA, adding an unpredictable veil to the mystery of dzi bead. "Tianzhu also has historical value, inheritance value, cultural value, aesthetic value, medical value, protection value and so on." Zheng Da International Art also said that the value of dzi beads is not only measurable by money, but also a spirit and a culture.
Don't collect dzi beads with a casual attitude.
When Yang Zigang started collecting dzi beads, he had his own "circle". These friends who have many years of research experience on dzi beads will help him judge the quality and authenticity of dzi beads.
"After choosing which dzi bead, I won't give money first. I asked ten trusted friends to see the dzi beads I chose. If someone thinks there is a problem, I won't contact the seller again. Only all my friends think there is no problem.
I want to buy it. "For Andy, the price is not a problem. The collection channel of Tianzhu is very important, which makes him not miss when collecting." Collect dzi beads and choose people you trust to buy them. Maybe he has strength and influence, and he won't do anything to you because of a dzi bead. My collection of dzi beads is the best, the most beautiful and the best. Maybe I bought it at the price of mental illness. Now many people will show me dzi beads first, and I will show them to other buyers if I don't buy them. "
During the years of collecting dzi beads, Andy saw many people buy back fake dzi beads at high prices, so three or four years ago, Andy opened a shop in Taobao, and many top-quality dzi beads were priced at 99,999,999 yuan. Andy said that these dzi beads are mainly for display, not for sale, but for people to compare their authenticity. "Now on the market, it is basically impossible for ordinary people to buy real dzi beads, because the price of real dzi beads is very expensive. It is almost impossible for someone to spend 30 thousand to 50 thousand to buy a multi-eyed dzi bead. At present, the number of dzi beads with a length of 0.5 cm and a diameter of 0.4 cm is 6.5438+10,000, the number of dzi beads with two eyes is 1 million, and the number of dzi beads with nine eyes is 10 million. " Andy said: "Fake products are rampant in Tianzhu market now, so don't be passive. If you don't want to take advantage, you can't lose money. " Don't believe that you can spend tens of thousands to buy tens of millions of things. "
Artificial dzi beads
edit
Many agate pearls on the market claim to be "Tibetan dzi beads" whether they come from Tibet or not. Those who have been offered incense for years are called dzi beads. The rest are called Zhu Xintian. There is also a saying called type I and type II. The former costs tens of thousands, while the latter costs only a few hundred yuan.
But it is even more difficult to buy the real dzi beads that have been circulating in Tibet for thousands of years, because the Tibetan dzi beads are not for sale. In the eyes of Tibetans, dzi beads are a symbol of status, and only sacred people can wear them. Therefore, the Tibetan people's gift of dzi beads represents his great respect for you.
Identification of true and false artificial dzi beads
1, ancient, clear in color, clear in grain, and oval-fat dzi beads are the best.
2. Although the dzi beads have been worn for generations, it is inevitable that they will be damaged, but they should not be seriously damaged, broken or reprocessed (Tibetans believe that the damage of the dzi beads is a disaster prevention and has lost its protective effect).
3. The more eye beads, the rarer the strange eyes, and the higher the price. The closer you get to nine eyes, the better. If there are too many eyes on a dzi bead, that is, thousands of dzi beads, the price will be greatly reduced. Preferably, each eye is about the same size. If they are different in size, they are not good dzi beads.
4. The imitation technology in Zhu Xintian is mature. If necessary, the natural lines on its surface can be observed under clear water or light to distinguish authenticity.
5. Some dzi beads have cinnabar on their surfaces (but they are not without cinnabar, so they are not dzi beads). However, that is, some cinnabar has been prepared, and some are already on the surface.
6. Because it has a long history and many people wear it from generation to generation, there are some weathering lines (also called "fish scale lines") on the surface, and the distribution of these weathering lines is also abnormal. Imitation dzi beads can also be baked at high temperature to make realistic weathering patterns (dry and hard texture). In the identification method, the surface will be viewed with a magnifying glass with a high magnification (more than 65,438+0,000 times), except that the weathered lines are mostly "moon-shaped", and the genuine products will show galactic lines similar to cosmic objects.
7. The perforation of dzi beads must be consistent with the color and smoothness of the surface (jade texture); Ivory or light yellow is the best, followed by black and brown.
8. Naturally, the surface of dzi beads should have an oily and smooth feeling. But don't belittle the value of dzi beads because they are hazy. Some dzi beads will be cleaned by the seller in advance, so it is not easy to show their original luster. This situation should gradually improve after wearing for a period of time.
9. Don't have jumping cracks in the eye part of the eye dzi bead, otherwise its value will be damaged.
Some of the above methods need some time to practice and identify. Don't want to buy them just because they look good. If all the above methods fail, there is a direct way as a last resort, and that is to seek the help of people who can identify the gas field with the naked eye. Because what they see is the gas field emitted by the dzi bead itself, and the gas field emitted by the new dzi bead is often the same, which is easier to be seen through.

Application parts of Tianzhu
The mineral composition of dzi beads contains agate and jade, which are semi-precious. The existence of pure dzi beads is very rare, so things are rare. In the eyes of Tibetans, dzi beads are equivalent to diamonds. Most of them are strung into necklaces and worn on women as ornaments to show their status when attending major events. They are not religious tools. In addition to practicality, the design of wearing them is also the focus of design.
collection
Because the number of dzi beads is very rare, unlike other jewels that can be mined, and because of its incredible magnetic field induction and spirituality, as well as the practice and wearing of holders in previous dynasties, its value has been enhanced, and things are rare, so it has become a treasure in the collection.

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○967 Flowers are white, symbolizing the infinite light from the sun, moon and stars.
Delta triangle, the human body's own blood circulation system, is the basis of creating human energy. Artificial red (the blood color of all animals on land, refers to the triangular relationship between red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets), which symbolizes the subtle vitality of essence, body and mind.
"□" square, the force (magnetic field) produced by all substances in nature, has the function of cohesion and enhancement. The land is yellow, symbolizing the business contract formed by water, fire and wind.
