Icy Gel Cyan Jadeite Jiang Ziya Fishing Ornament | Natural Burmese Jadeite A-grade

《Product Introduction》 ★ Name: Icy Gel Cyan Jadeite Jiang Ziya Fishing Ornament ★ Dimensions: 86.2 x 25.5 x 11 mm ★ Item Number: A24814408 ★ Description: This piece features a full base color of icy gel cyan jadeite with hints of blue-green and blue, intricately carved to create a visual feast. It depicts a unique ornament of Jiang Ziya leisurely casting his line while seated on a bamboo raft. Jiang Ziya famously said, "Three inches from the water, the willing will bite; the unwilling will turn back." While most fishermen use curved hooks, Jiang Ziya uniquely chose a straight hook, which couldn't catch any fish. Historically, he aimed to gain the support of King Wen of Zhou, hence this unconventional approach. As expected, one day King Wen was out hunting and noticed Jiang Ziya's peculiar fishing method, approached him, and thus began their conversation. The phrase "the willing will bite" clearly indicates that Jiang Ziya was not trying to catch fish, but rather King Wen. In modern terms, it refers to someone willingly falling into a trap, knowing it's a snare yet accepting it. Another interpretation suggests mutual consent or a willingness to incur a loss. In today's chaotic world, traps may be everywhere, but may you always maintain a kind heart, surrounded by equally kind friends. This ornament serves as a gentle reminder, not to harm, but to inspire. It is perfectly suited for your office or as a gift for friends. With its exquisite carving, it also looks splendid displayed on a home bar. This item is truly one of a kind; don't miss out! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53200643836_0394a6134e_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53200980500_8f88a7b78e_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53200980505_8b67805033_b.jpg
