Hello everyone, I am Dongfang. Today I will talk to you about the origin of the saying that men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha. Regarding wearing jewelry, there are various folk sayings, such as " Men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha ", Why do you say that? Is there any basis for this? Let’s find out more about Dongfang!
Regarding men wearing Guanyin , we have to start with the Tang Dynasty . At that time, if you wanted to be an official in the court, you had to have the official seal to be recognized. Isn’t it just that is the homophone of "Guanyin"? ? Guanyin Bodhisattva is originally the image of the universal salvation of all sentient beings. With this homophonic pronunciation, many students who want to obtain fame wear Guanyin pendants, which can be said to give themselves some psychological comfort.
What is the allusion to the female Daifo? People in ancient times thought that women were small-minded and easy to care about, but this Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, had a big belly and a smiling face, which made him look very magnanimous and magnanimous.
The ancients pinned their "hopes" for their wives and children on the little Buddha. "Female Buddha" hopes that women will be calm, tolerant and open-minded.
In addition to the above statements, there are also various theories about "men wearing Guanyin and women wearing Buddha":
Regardless of modern or ancient times, men are more impulsive and are prone to using violence to solve problems and have bad tempers. No, in order to warn and restrain men, the Guanyin pendant, which symbolizes great mercy and compassion, is worn on the chest to overcome strength with softness. It is hoped that men will be less violent and be gentler in situations.
In the final analysis, whether it is wearing Guanyin or wearing Buddha, it is a beautiful prayer from the heart, and there are no exact rules or legal principles.
In fact, no matter ancient or modern times, we wear some jewelry just to have a good meaning. Maybe the jewelry itself cannot change anything, but wearing jewelry that symbolizes a certain meaning will always give us hints and alerts, and influence us unintentionally. on our behavior and mentality. This is probably the real intention of "men wearing Guanyin and women wearing Buddha".
