There are "seven treasures" in the Buddhist paradise where Amitabha comes to live in pure land. The first treasure is gold and silver. Gold represents a kind of health. Many bodhisattvas who come home want to cast a golden body, which means "golden body can protect themselves from all diseases", representing health and longevity.

Silver also represents health and longevity, and it is also something to ward off evil spirits. Silver represents the light of Buddha. When a newborn child wears silver ornaments, it means praying for peace and health. Besides, gold means prosperous wealth. If you make a wish to a bodhisattva, you should gild the bodhisattva after the drug effect. There is a saying that "real gold is not afraid of fire."

Gold ornaments appeared a little later than bronze ornaments, in the middle and late Neolithic period three or four thousand years ago. Gold is stable in nature, mostly exists in a free state and is easy to obtain. Because of its beautiful appearance, good machinability and strong ductility, gold was designated as the first choice metal for decorative products as soon as it appeared.
