Sunstone Bracelet × Traditional Chinese Wisdom of "The Path of Brightness and Integrity"

[Cultural Origin]

Sunstone contains hematite inclusions that shimmer with golden light, resembling the rising sun in the east, subtly corresponding to the image of the "Li Hexagram" in the I Ching — "The light of two suns, Li, the great person illuminates all directions," symbolizing integrity and wisdom.

The I Ching: The Explanation of the Hexagrams states: "Li represents fire, the sun, lightning..."

Its golden radiance corresponds to:

 • The pursuit of "illuminating virtue" in The Great Learning

 • The life realm of "a heart filled with brightness" by Wang Yangming

[Application of the Five Elements]

 • Color: Fire: Corresponding to the south, it signifies propriety and brightness (suitable for scholars and those in the judiciary to wear).

 • Form: Round: Resembling the image of "the sun at noon" in the Arithmetic in Nine Sections.
