In terms of mythology, jewelry exists in the unique form of witchcraft-weapons: Tang Monk's Incantation of the Golden Hoop (Magic Headband), Nezha's Sky-earth loop and Red Strapping ribbon, Princess Iron-fan's palm leaf fan, etc. In terms of jewelry, from mythology, we can see traces of an individual, or an entire history of civilization. “The bewildering mythology system, the bizarre legends, and the true-to-life hero images” - they all intentionally or secretly give meaning to life and are linked to individuals' personal 'myths'. Jewels are worn next to skin to be nourished with our own lives, or embedded in our bodies by piercing, to express the expectation and identity of the self, or the joys and sorrows of life.

If we use contemporary jewelry language to show Chinese mythology, and our spirit and will to control the development of Chinese mythology, the new myths generated thereby will definitely affect the next civilization.
