Core Materials: Silk, Rattan, Metal
Form Description:
This instrument is a 'Brooch of the Noble Bamboo.'
The core of its 'form' 'is' 'several' 'jade-textured' 'bamboo leaves,' 'and' a 'bamboo node' 'finely' 'wrapped' by 'rattan.'
The 'bamboo leaves,' 'edged' in 'gilt,' 'symbolize' the 'refinement' of 'skill.'
The 'bamboo node,' 'antique' and 'resilient,' 'symbolizes' the 'foundation' of 'craftsmanship.'
The whole 'presents' the 'perfect fusion' of 'Technique' (Ji) and 'The Way' (Dao).
Ritual of Creation:
This instrument 'is' the 'artisan's' 'own' 'summary' of the 'spirit of craft,' 'born' from 'day-in, day-out' 'creation.'
That 'state' of 'refining' 'through' 'repetition,' 'finding' 'freedom' 'within' 'law,' 'resonated' 'perfectly' 'with' the 'character' of 'bamboo.'
Thus, the artisan, 'using' 'bamboo' as 'form' 'and' 'heart' as 'spirit,' 'created' this 'talisman' 'in' 'tribute' to 'all creators.'
The art, 'transcending' to the 'divine.' The 'sacred spirit of the artisan' is the 'alchemy' of 'focus' and 'repetition.' Like 'green bamboo,' 'growing' 'node' by 'node'—'seemingly' 'slow,' yet, 'it' 'ultimately' 'reaches' the 'sky.' It 'symbolizes' that 'tenacity' and 'devotion' 'which,' 'within' 'unchanging laws,' 'pursues' 'supreme mastery.' 'Bamboo' 'has' 'nodes' (Jié), 'symbolizing' 'law' and 'discipline.' Its 'hollow' 'center' 'symbolizes' 'humility' and 'receptiveness.' This 'jade-like' 'bamboo' 'is' the 'perfect' 'reflection' of the 'Divine Artisan's' spirit: 'Within' 'rigorous law,' 'maintaining' 'open creativity.' Wear It, 'to serve' the 'gaining' of the 'artisan's' 'focus' and the 'advancement' of 'mastery.'
Tracing the Origin of the Divine Essence
-
Visit"The 'wisdom' of 【Abundance】 has liberated me from the 'anxiety' of 'possession'. I am no longer a 'hungry taker', but a 'plentiful river'. I feel that 'impulse' to 'create', to 'flow'.
However, this 'infinite' 'stream of life' also brings 'infinite' 'possibilities', causing me to fall into the 'confusion' of 'choice'. When 'everything' can be 'tried', I find myself, instead, not knowing 'where' to 'settle' my 'heart'.
In an 'era' that advocates 'infinite possibility' and 'instant gratification', what is the 'value' of that 'slow focus' of 'doing only one thing for a lifetime'? Does 'choosing' one path 'mean' 'betraying' 'all other paths'?
This is the 'riddle' I have come to ask at the Sanctum of the 【Divine Artisan】."
