Wushi Pai | Peace & Smoothness There is a wish, simple yet deeply yearned for by all – peace. "Peace" is the most common wish. In the hearts of many, nothing is as precious as peace. For lovers of Hetian jade, the "Wushi Pai" or peace pendant is familiar. Its name, "Wushi Pai" (meaning no matter/no affairs), comes from its smooth, unadorned surface, signifying tranquility. This type of jade pendant has a long history, particularly popular during the Ming Dynasty. At that time, a renowned jade master, Lu Zigang, was celebrated for his exquisite craftsmanship, known as a "master of jade grinding." He was especially skilled at carving jade plaques, always seeking innovation. His creations often featured elegant landscapes on one side and poetic inscriptions on the other, offering a fresh, refined aesthetic. Scholars and officials of the era took great pride in possessing a jade plaque by Lu Zigang. Yet, this master, known for his astonishing skill, once crafted a "Wushi Pai" that was simply well-formed, with no carvings or distinctive features. Its creation puzzled many, sparking widespread discussion, and people naturally inquired with Lu Zigang. Lu Zigang explained: "No decorations" (无‘饰’wushi) implies "no troubles" (无‘事’wushi). "No affairs, no affairs; no affairs is good fortune." True peace, free from worries, is the greatest blessing. Due to the natural characteristics of raw, unrefined crystal and jade, each piece will vary. The unique properties of each mineral mean that different batches may appear different, which does not constitute a quality issue. Please consider carefully before purchasing if this is a concern. Jade Care 1. Avoid collision with hard objects. 2. During daily use and storage, minimize exposure to dust to maintain cleanliness. 3. When not wearing, store properly. The best method is to place it in a jewelry box or pouch to prevent scratches and impacts. 4. When wearing jade bracelets, try to avoid spraying large amounts of perfume directly onto the wrist and be mindful of chemical liquids when washing hands. 5. Store bracelets away from prolonged direct sunlight. 6. When cleaning jade bracelets, use a clean, soft white cloth. A soft cloth can effectively remove oils, impurities, dust, and sweat, aiding in jade maintenance.
