Tibet is reminiscent of a mystery kingdom and there are exotic
culture and legend that can change our lives, and the general view of
their followers is bald, skinny men that wear orange robes that stand
around chanting all day long. Which may be a close to the truth picture,
but there is more to it that draws attention of people. First of all,
their lifestyle allows them to be closer to the higher entity they
believe in, instead of being worried about how much money they earn
monthly in order to purchase a house, a car or food that you can feed
your children. They live a very tranquil life, separate from modern
society.If you want to know what they are chanting about, all their
songs are actually prayers that are used to get closer to what they
believe in. These prayers are called mantras, and they are also helpful
in allowing their singers to achieve tranquility.
Perhaps
it is why I have chosen Tibetan jewelry to be the first step I take in
the long journey for achieving my peace of mind. If you want to do just
as I did, first of all you have to be committed to your goals and
believe in the symbols of this culture.one of the most powerful
representations of Tibetan jewelry is the bracelet. Believed to be the
first frequency that was used to create the universe, this sound can be
found in a lot of Tibetan mantras. It is a sound that can calm anyone
down in case they are stressed. Form of expression of traditional
Tibetan jewelry depends on the Tibetans idea, social formation, the
traditional modes of production and life, especially the traditional
nomadic life. This needs to convert property accumulated by the whole
family and even a few generations to jewellery. Since looking for land
of abundance all around is both safe and convenient. So what Tibetans
wear are not only garment ornaments but also a huge property, which
shows both beauty and wealth.
The concept of jewelry acts as
"ornament" of human body and clothing in Han culture. While in Tibetan
culture, especially for women, it is more apropos with four words "hun
shen pi gua", which means all kinds of jewelries with their pendants are
throughout the body. There is hair clasp, hairpin, bone ring, jade
rock, hair bead and prior chains and all sorts of earrings in the
headwear; there is necklace, passementerie, bracket and other ornaments
worn in the chest. There is motifs belt, metal Belt, hanging fire
pricker, waist bag, Chest hook, Tibetan knife, seashell, tinkler and a
large number of exquisite ornaments around wrist. The ring and bracelet,
multicolored lace and gold, silver and jewelry of all kinds are all
part of Tibetan jewelries. Women of Ali area embellish their necks with
coral and agate. These jewelries and pendants are all made by hands of
Tibetan folk craftsmen who have unique features in choosing materials
and making jewelries. For example, in gold and silver processing and
carving patterns for Tibetan knives, metal process of ZangDong DeGe has a
high reputation in Tibetan. Jewelry and pendant are for the purpose to
decorate. Tibetan nationality thinks a lot of their art and culture and
they are very good at changing animals and plants in the life and mascot
in the ideal to patterns in the ornaments. With the development of the
society, those patterns have become logos of all orders of society and
occupational range. What is the more outstanding is that religious
culture has strong effect on pattern and Tibetan ethnic gives religions
ideas to jewelry. Favor and widespread use to kallaite result from their
beauty and blessing of God.
