1 thought on “Why do the ancients like to wear silver jewelry so much, what are the cultural and efficacy of silver?”

  1. We all know that "wearing gold and silver" is to express their wishes with the help of gold and silver wares and show their pursuit of life.
    , but gold is obviously much more expensive than silver, so the most common jewelry of ordinary people is silver. It is not very expensive and can produce a special beauty and show personal charm. A little reason.

    second, silver can test poison. We can often see in the TV series that the characters in the TV series are not assured of their diet. I remove the silver jewelry on the body and insert it into the food. In fact, this was common in ancient times. In ancient businessmen, the ancient businessmen went out because of business. Silver tableware was a must -have for businessmen to go out. It was not only a symbol of identity, but also maintained the safety of life and property.

    third, silver has the effect of anti -inflammatory effect. From ancient times to the present, women who love beauty have liked to wear pierced ears and people who pass through the pierced pierced. The wound will heal quickly.

    Fourth, silver has the effect of anticorrosive freshness and preservation. Ethical ethnic groups in many regions in my country like to use silverware to put food to keep food fresh and delicious for a long time. Here you can give an example: the highest etiquette of the Mongolian grassland herdsmen to receive guests is to respect the silver bowl of horse milk wine. The silver bowl is not only a noble and pure symbol, which means the highest courtesy, but also the role of anticorrosion and freshness. Because horse milk is placed in a normal bowl, it will deteriorate after a few days, but the horse milk that is placed in the silver bowl can keep it delicious for a long time.

    The fifth, silver has the effect of moistness. The wet finger is rheumatism, dehumidification and heat, such as acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine therapy. We commonly known as silver acupuncture, in fact, the moisture in the human body is removed through silver needles. In the southwestern ethnic minorities, due to the terrain, the climate is humid, so the Miao and Dai people living there like to wear silver accessories, which can actually achieve the effect of wetting.

    The silver is not particularly expensive. In the current society, it has been gradually replaced by gold and jade jewelry, so there are less silver jewelry.
