Head piece: Gold Makes You Immortal by Yi Zhao.Gold, 85%Silver, Spring.. 2020Buddhism was introduced into China in the Han Dynasty in the AD, and a "backlight" image behind the Buddha was also introduced, which was called "Buddha light" -- it was considered as the light emitted by the Buddha's head wheel, implying that the Buddha brought light to the world. It also means that the Buddha's power is boundless, and the consciousness of all living beings is like the sun breaking through the darkness. Later, Buddha light gradually became the standard way of Buddha. Even after some ordinary people with special personality were deified, they had a golden Buddha light to show his extraordinary and divine nature. For example, the Martial Saint Guan Yunchang, the Literary sage Confucius and the Medical Saint Sun Simiao used the Buddha light as the immortal symbol in the sculptures and New Year pictures. At the same time, since ancient times, gold has been endowed with immortal spiritual value. For example, the ancients thought that "gold can get immortality by eating utensils". People generally believe that gold has the effect of protecting the body and mind of the dead and becoming immortality. The work is made of gold, which refines the large and complex Buddha light and makes it wearable. All living beings suffer. Who doesn't want to become an immortal as soon as possible? This may be the greatest consolation of myth..
