About
Ruyi Scepter in China:
The scepter in China had not the same meaning like in Europe where it was
exclusively used by the sovereign. Originally it could have been a note table of
bamboo for the ministers that they held respectfully in their hands in front of
the breast during an audience, like the gui ?. In later times, it was made of
each possible material but mostly of jade, a stone that symbolizes longevity.
The shape of the scepter is taken from a kind of mythological mushroom that was
said to give eternal life. In Qing times, the ruyi scepter was used by princes
and the Emperor as a symbol of their position.
Ruyi offen find n Quan Yin holds in her left hand , the foremost among
auspicious symbols, the ruyi or wish-granting scepter. Ruyi means "as you wish."
