The ancients called "scratching" a "scratching stick". Later, due to the improvement of aesthetics, "scratching stick" evolved into a familiar ancient artifact-"Ruyi". The word "ruyi" comes from the Indian Sanskrit "Analu". The earliest ruyi, the handle end was made into the shape of a finger to show that the hand could not reach it, and the handle end was also made into a heart shape, made of bamboo, bone, copper and jade, which was recorded by monks to prevent forgetting. In ancient China, there were "scratching stick" and "water pole" (also known as "surface water pole" and "hand pole"), and both were used. In the Qing Dynasty, "Ruyi" was widely used in the court and became one of the treasures of the court. Later, due to the ancient people's discovery of beauty, Ruyi, as the initial "tickling" guy, gradually became a practical and aesthetic object and a traditional auspicious symbol in China. At the ceremony of the emperor's accession to the throne, the courtiers in charge of etiquette will present a "wishful thinking" and wish the government a harmonious and smooth New Deal. When the emperor meets with foreign envoys, he will also give "Ruyi" as a gift to show the friendship between the two countries and the peace of the country and the people. In the bedroom of Empress Dowager Cixi and concubines, there is "Ruyi", which is the symbol of Ji 'an. Especially in the wedding of the Empress Dowager, the Palace's Palace of Eternal Life, and the Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year's Day, my adjutants need to offer a lot of "wishful thinking", which means that the Empress Dowager is safe and auspicious. It can be seen that a small piece of "Ruyi" is a precious thing that integrates court etiquette, Han Chinese exchanges and furnishings. Today, the Forbidden City has more than 3,000 wishful collections. Metal ruyi includes gold, silver, copper, iron and other materials, and its technology has varieties such as tired silk and inlay. Among them, gold, silver and copper ruyi are mainly carved, and iron, silver and ruyi are sacrificial supplies in the Ming Dynasty. The most complicated and exquisite craft is gold and silver as silk. Some people even decorate the Jin Ruyi with pearls, precious stones, emeralds, jade tiles inlaid with dragons and phoenixes, flowers and birds, figures, etc., which are rare treasures and priceless.
