When the ink of the ‘Tang Six Codes’ solidified into ribbons, and the clouds of the Rainbow Robe were woven into the wrist—what is bound by this silk thread is more than just jewels? It clearly lifts the star clouds of Dunhuang and cuts the moonlight from the eaves of the Daming Palace, allowing the splendor of the prosperous Tang dynasty to flow and shine in the veins.
Silk ribbons weave rainbows, while jewels condense dawn and dusk.
Three-colored silk threads (pink, yellow, and white) shuttle through like the loom work of a hundred birds in the Han palace: pink as Yang Guifei’s drunken face staining her peony skirt, white like Xie E holding a fan half-covering an ice silk, and gold threads just like the gilded silk bands fluttering in the Thousand Buddha Caves. Transparent crystal beads are strung on the silk like morning dew waiting for the sun to dry them, while the round and warm pink jade beads remind one of the agate ankle bells in the mural of Princess Yongtai’s tomb depicting ladies with delicate smiles. Even more exquisite are the gold and silver ornaments carved with scroll patterns: the arabesque twists around the space, embodying the Taiji aura, and the leaf veins subtly align with the brushstrokes of the ‘Xuan Yuan Emperor’ in the fragmented ‘Tang Six Codes’.
Tassels hang in myriad turns, proving eternal life.
The seven-color tassels are no ordinary items—they draw inspiration from the indigo hue of the Dunhuang ceiling, the cherry blossom pink from the peach blossoms of Qujiang, and the golden threads from the molten sunset over Chang’an. Each end is tied with the ancient ‘hearts-knot’ technique, intertwining seven colors into a chaotic mass, with pearl and silver leaf pendants forming ‘Yingluo drops’. When the pearls and silver leaves lightly touch, their sound is like jade chimes striking porcelain, revealing the ancient metaphor of ‘pearls and jade harmonizing’ as a symbol of ‘eternal unity’.
Ancient books complement heavy brocade; the spirit of the Tang dynasty enters contemporary trends.
The craftsmanship placed on rice paper can be likened to a time-sewing technique: the left silk ribbon flows like an open book, while the right side features the ink traces of the ‘Tang Six Codes’ fragment ‘bestowing the title of Xuan Yuan Emperor upon Laozi’, stopping abruptly at the record of ‘living to over a hundred years’. Green leaves like emerald hairpins slant across the pages, revealing the Eastern philosophy of ‘all things having spirits’. The most ingenious part is the crystal bead pressing on the rubbings of the characters ‘Taishi’ (Imperial Physician), as if dripping modern morning dew onto an ancient ‘longevity prescription’. Such arrangement allows the glory of Tang dynasty weaving to meet the layered aesthetic of the 21st century across time (showcasing the fusion of Eastern and Western aesthetics).
This piece on the wrist can be called a ‘walking legend of the Tang people’: the seven-color tassels hanging down during tea sessions resemble rainbows drinking from streams, while the pearl and silver leaves swaying slightly in meetings are like stars falling into inkstones. It deconstructs the heavy history within museum glass cases, turning the brilliance of the ‘Rainbow Robe Music’ into wearable Silk Road spring rain (interpreting the Eastern blessing of ‘longevity’ through modern design).
This bracelet transcends mere adornment—it’s a wearable museum of Tang Dynasty artistry. From the first touch, the silk ribbons (pink, gold, and white) feel like threads of history: they echo Yang Guifei’s peony-dyed sleeves and the fluttering sutra streamers of Dunhuang’s caves. The translucent crystal beads strung like morning dew and rosy jade orbs reminiscent of Yongtai Princess’s tomb murals create a dialogue between nature and imperial opulence.
But the seven-color tassels are pure magic. Inspired by Dunhuang’s palette—indigo vaults, Qujiang’s cherry blossoms, Chang’an’s molten sunsets—they sway with ancient “Hearts-Knot” craftsmanship. When the pearl-and-silver-leaf pendants chime like jade striking porcelain, they embody the Tang ideal of “pearls harmonizing with jade” (eternal unity). I’ve worn it to meetings, where soft pearl chimes transformed mundane moments into poetic interludes.
The design’s genius lies in its layers: Tang Six Codes script fragments (“bestowing longevity”) juxtapose modern crystal beads like “dew on an imperial decree,” blending past and present. Wearing it feels like carrying scroll art—the ribbons flow like ink, the tassels drink tea-light like “rainbows sipping streams.” For history lovers and design enthusiasts alike, this isn’t jewelry—it’s resurrection. It turns Tang brilliance into an intimate, daily heirloom.
