Bodhi beads: Why does each bead have a small hole?

Bodhi is the fruit of a plant (Huangteng), and the holes in Bodhi are germ eyes, which are found on every star and moon Bodhi. When making bracelets, you will choose to put this hole in the middle. This bodhi is called the first month. If it is not in the center, it is called a partial moon or a chord moon.

Bodhi breeds. The fruit is spherical, large, dark grass yellow, and covered with straight-pricked boat-shaped Buddha buds. The surface of the beads is evenly covered with black spots, and there is a concave circle in the middle, which looks like a star holding the moon, forming a star-studded situation. Known as one of the "four famous pearls" of Bodhi.

Selection method of Xingyue Bodhi:

1. Color difference: When selecting high-density or low-density beads, the color difference of the whole cantilever beads should be small and the colors should be basically the same. The density of the whole hanging bead is basically the same. Avoid the excessive color difference of beads in the process of playing, which will affect the overall quality of beads. Of course, if you are a perfectionist and have strength, I suggest you choose at least three.

2. Color: Color is a very important part of evaluation. Bodhisattva beads often give people the first impression from the color effect. Beads with smooth appearance, delicate texture and harmonious colors can give people a stronger visual aesthetic feeling.

3. Texture: Patterns and textures are also important factors in the aesthetic feeling of Bodhisattva beads. If the shape and size are the basic factors that affect the aesthetic feeling of bodhisattva beads, then the pattern is an advanced means to enhance the aesthetic feeling of bodhisattva beads.

4. Density: About the same size. The greater the pressure on the bodhisattva, the greater the density and the greater the difficulty.

5. Size: Choose Bodhisattva raisins with the same size, and the beads are harmonious and beautiful. Protruding or narrow pearls are not suitable, and pearls with "slightly loose" lines are not suitable for perforation.
