Ruyi Clouds or Waves (Imperial Symbol of Heaven, Mountain &
Sea; Power & Fortune). Ruyi pronounced as "Yu-Yi" literally means
"As you Wish" or "May your wish be granted". During Qing Dynasty, it
was customary for Emperor/Empress to present to deserving generals,
nobles & ministers with gifts of Ruji scepters as a mark of favor
(equivalent to war medals). Also the emblem of the Xiangu, one of the
eight Daoist immortables. The Yang (female principle) character of the
Ruyi is often indicated by its similarity to the Lingzhi fungus &
to the clouds. Used exclusively in court robes & mastered only
by royal embroiderers in Peking capital, these Ruyi patterns were most
favored by Empress Dowager during the Ching Dynasty.
The highly-colored floss & metallic threads & the
tightness between threads distinguish this highest-ranking, imperial,
antique embroidered silk from the common class. The dexterity of Ruyi
clouds, vivid Gold & Silver Threads, are the most sought-after
linens @ public auctions.....a rare & elite class of its own. (e.g.
lot 171,2008,sale 2027 @ Christie's @ $20,000).
These intricate master arts often took painstaking hours for months to completion, by gifted female embroiderers staying home without going anywhere (similar to bound feet, often considered prestigious virtues of women in ancient China). The sophisticated skills & utmost dedication in these silk embroideries were long gone, making these ancient master arts smart investment to appreciate for generations. Looks gorgeous & stunning when framed, and this extraordinary piece (esp in this pristine condition) will make the most treasured gift for your beloved. Please note that these Ruyi antique linens are pricey, and not meant for ordinary collectors.
This unique collection is different from the others, as the items did not have to go through the war & turmoils of the period, and are in pristine conditions!
