Product description
Exquisite carved and framed jadeite bi disc (璧). A bi disc is a circular (flat) jade disc with a hole in the center, used in ancient China. In this case, it is composed of eight pieces that make up the shape of the bi and a final circular piece that occupies the center. The number 9 in Chinese culture is a symbol of infinity, added to this, the dragon symbolizes prosperity and good luck. Each of the pieces is independent, but they are all united. Jade is considered a sacred material in Chinese culture. It was even used to make weapons. Emperors chose this rich material for the imperial seal, believing that this material allowed communication with spirits, reflecting their support for the Chinese government. The size and decoration of bi discs varies depending on the social class of the owner. They were commonly used in religious rituals, as offerings to the gods or to heaven, as a symbol of status and power, or in burials, placed next to tombs to protect the deceased and symbolize the connection with heaven. The outer circle represents heaven, while the central hole represents the cosmos or the soul. Overall, they symbolize harmony, eternity, and perfection, perfectly combining the main characteristics of Chinese art and culture.
