Rose Quartz Bracelet × Traditional Chinese Wisdom of "Tenderness and Uprightness"

[Cultural Origin]

Rose quartz is as warm and smooth as fat, its color subtly corresponding to the poetic tradition of "gentleness and sincerity" from the Book of Rites. The crystal structure refracts:

 • The reserved beauty of "graceful and virtuous lady" from the Book of Songs.

 • The compassionate heart of "the benevolent love others" from Mencius.

The Rites of Zhou: Records of Examination of Artisans records:

"The jade worker's affairs, benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, bravery, and purity."

Characteristics of this stone:

 • Its color is like "the peach blossoms in full bloom" (Book of Songs: Zhou Nan).

 • Its luster resembles "the charming smile" (Book of Songs: Wei Feng).

[Essence of the Five Elements]

 • Color: Fire: Corresponding to the heart chakra, it signifies propriety and love.
