Wearing and engraving of security cards

It's okay. Brands usually wear them on their chests with necklaces. Common matching beads are amber beeswax, jade, lapis lazuli, turquoise, coconut shell, bodhi and so on. In ancient times, it was also tied to the waist as a waist tag, which was usually used as an identification or proof. Later, the national movement declined in the late Qing Dynasty and gradually evolved into an ornament that showed noble status and implied beauty.

Wuwupai is not completely unadorned, and sometimes it is beautifully designed. It is carved with Fu Na Solanum nigrum patterns, Feng Niaowen, flowers and birds, animals, Guanyin statues, Buddha statues, auspicious proverbs and so on. They place people's blessings on peace, harmony, evil spirits, peace and health.

"Small Window" says that if you are not sick and have nothing on your mind, the birds in spring will sing. This is a wonderful life. As the saying goes, "I am light and have no disease" also means this.

Nothing means that there is no obstacle to the mind. In Buddhism, everything is perfect when there is nothing. Therefore, nothing represents great freedom. I hope that we can always be "safe", calmly face the inevitable setbacks and pains in life with a mindless attitude, remain optimistic and open-minded in the face of impermanence, and seriously live up to the present, that is, be safe and comfortable.

Just like this famous Zen poem by Buddhist monk Wu Men Hui Kai in Tang Dynasty:

There are flowers in spring, months in autumn, cool breeze in summer and snow in winter;

If you don't mind your own business, this is a good time on earth.
