The anti-war spirit behind the red "Resistance to the End" silver jewelry

Silver is one of the precious metals. It is soft and suitable for processing into various handicrafts. Silver jewelry refers to various kinds of decorations made of silver. There are many varieties and they are basically divided into five categories: ear jewelry, neck jewelry, hand jewelry, foot jewelry and clothing.

Since ancient times, gold and silver have been symbols of wealth. Anyone in the world who has more of them will be considered rich. Gold and silver have been circulating as currency in ancient times and performed the function of currency. In the upper class society, dignitaries use gold and silver to make dining utensils to show their nobility, and ladies even like to wear gold and silver as jewelry.

What's more, the royal class even used gold and silver to make gold and silver seals, gold and silver books, etc., to reflect their power and status. For thousands of years, ordinary people in China have been living in poverty, and gold jewelry has become a luxury product. They will only buy one or two pieces of jewelry to celebrate and commemorate major festivals such as marriage and childbirth. Silver, as a lower-grade precious metal, has a higher penetration rate. Relatively speaking, it is much larger. Silver's soft texture and unobtrusive appearance have quickly become the first choice material for people to make jewelry.

The two sets of silver ornaments I collected were probably decorated on hats or clothes during the Republic of China. There are some small holes on the sides for easy sewing on the hats with needle and thread. The four characters "Resistance to the End" are engraved in the middle as the main decoration. The art of chiseling has a very long history and is a wonder among traditional Chinese handicrafts. It evolved from the processing of jade, stoneware, bone and hornware, etc.

Obviously, the War of Resistance was the slogan during the Anti-Japanese War. Putting these political propaganda slogans on clothing is really a very creative move. In folk communication, craftsmen skillfully combined decoration and propaganda, which played a very important role in promoting the anti-Japanese thought and carrying forward the anti-war spirit.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially after the reform and opening up, the living standards of the Chinese people have undergone earth-shaking changes, and they have fully entered the level of moderate prosperity, which is really gratifying. In recent years, with the substantial improvement of national quality, the life taste and aesthetic level of Chinese people have undergone earth-shaking changes.
