My only gold jewelry was a pair of gold-plated rattan bracelets I wore when I was five or six years old, with a dark brown coarse rattan featuring light-colored patterns, inlaid with coiled dragons and bats. He used a small knife to scrape the smooth underside of the metal carving. As it happened, the gold plating was particularly thick back then, so no matter how much he scraped, it remained gold, not silver. After scraping for a long time, a small patch finally showed a whitish hue. Noticing the slight distress on my face, he said, "This comrade's face is very honest; if she says it's gold-plated, then it's gold-plated." The gold-plated rattan bracelet was Eileen Chang's only personal gold accessory, highlighting its significant importance in her heart. PS: During the Ming and Qing dynasties, women were expected to include rattan bracelets as part of their dowry. Wind Vine What endures through time are not popular Tibetan chicken-blood vines, but wind vines. I. Wind vine bracelets were commonly part of a woman's dowry during the Ming and Qing dynasties. II. The density of wind vine is higher than that of chicken-blood vine, making it less prone to corrosion. Wind vine is flattened and cylindrical, with a rough grayish-brown or brown surface. It features longitudinal ridges and distinct nodes, with enlarged joint sections where adventitious roots grow. https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i3/34010003/TB2tMrCesjI8KJjSsppXXXbyVXa_!!34010003.jpg Wind vine is primarily found along the coasts of Taiwan and in the deep mountains of Zhejiang, China. The "Bencao Zaisin" (Newly Revised Materia Medica) records that wind vine: "Clears channels and collaterals, harmonizes blood and脉, widens the middle Jiao and regulates Qi, removes dampness and expels wind, treats lower back and leg Qi, cures hernias, and calms the fetus." Legend has it that wearing wind vine bracelets carries the auspicious meaning of warding off disaster. Embrace nature, find peace within.

Later generations expanded on this, stating the five petals of the plum blossom symbolize the five blessings: "Fortune, prosperity, longevity, joy, and wealth." Alongside the orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum, the plum is celebrated as one of the "Four Gentlemen." Together with pine and bamboo, they form the "Three Friends of Winter," embodying a spirit of resilience and unwavering perseverance. **Product Specifications** https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i1/34010003/TB2lg8XaQfb_uJkSnb4XXXCrXXa_!!34010003.jpg Brand: VISHI Name: Heart-Turning Wind Vine Bracelet Material: Natural wild wind vine, 925 sterling silver (supports inspection by major institutions) Craftsmanship: Hand-carved by a veteran silversmith Specifications: Vine thickness approximately 7.5mm-9mm Size: Please refer to the "Palm Circumference Measurement" at the bottom of the page to select the appropriate bracelet size.

If mold appears, simply wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth. Oiling for Dryness Prevention If the surface appears dry, apply a small amount of maintenance oil. Due to aviation restrictions on items that can be shipped via air cargo, the complimentary maintenance oil cannot be included if your order is sent via air freight (e.g., SF Express). You may substitute the maintenance oil with common vegetable oils such as olive oil or walnut oil. **How to Use Maintenance Oil:** Dispense a small amount of maintenance oil onto the vine surface. Use your hands or a cotton cloth to spread it evenly until fully absorbed.
