The person who chooses more children is the father and mother of the child for the sake of asylum. After the name is given, the lock-type ornaments will be hung between the children. There are also names named by the gods and monks and nuns, to use the power of the gods to drive out the demons. Jia Baoyu in " Dream of Red Mansions " wears this kind of lock.

The book said: "This is the purple line of his master and the maiden name. It is this silver item sign, the eight words on it, with and is good-looking, the back is falling on his name."
The ropes that are padlocked are complicated. Ordinary is just a red ribbon; complex is made of gold and silver into a chain; some are made of pearl jewels, and then tied to the lock. Neighbor Xu Ke "clean barnyard class notes" in Syria and a "collar lock" was typical: "Jiaqing, Yangzhou jade store has a locking collar, style as Begonia four, when an item, seven inches long curved The petals are slightly inlaid with a cat's eye gemstone.

It is the top grade in the item.
In ancient China, the scorpion was sometimes used as a term for a collar or a long-life lock. There are examples of this in "Dream of Red Mansions". For example, in the eighth round of the book, writing Jia Baoyu is hard and entangled with Xue Baozhen. It must be seen that she is hanging on the neck of the golden lock. Baodi is wrapped up by him, because he said: "It is also the individual who gave two words of Geely. So, every day with it; otherwise it is heavy, is there any fun?" One side said, on the one hand, the buckle was arranged, and the jewels were crystal-clear from the inside, and the golden enamel was picked up.
Ying Luo also for the "necklace", or "China Rosary" It is said that this is an ancient Indian jewelry. The Sanskrit is called "the accumulation of Luo ." In the local area, both men and women like to tie flowers together as a headgear, or hung around the neck and hang on the chest. This garland-like neck ornament is sometimes hung on a Buddha statue. With the introduction of Buddhism, this decorative custom has also spread to China. In the image of Buddhist art in China (such as murals , sculptures and stone carvings), Dai Dailuo has also appeared. The style of the network is very complicated: often based on the neck decoration, hanging various kinds of treasures on the neck ornaments, from the item to the chest, and some even fall to the foot. The elegant ones are also connected to the arms and become the accessories that are full of the whole body. Some people are inspired by the Buddha image , and they also imitate the hanging, thus forming a new decorative custom. According to the records of the literature, the earliest people who hang this kind of ornaments are mainly concentrated in ethnic minority areas. These records are recorded in historical records such as " Southern History " and " Liang Shu ".
The so-called 缨 , is actually a kind of ornament that integrates collars or necklaces and long-nose locks. The upper part of the raft is usually a metal collar, and various jewels and jade are hung around the collar; in the chest position close to the human body, a lock-like ornament is sometimes hung.
The Han people are attached to the shackles. It is already a matter of the Northern Dynasties. It is generally seen in the maids and maids in the court. The styles of the women’s waiters are often simple, and the singers of the dancers are more complicated. Not only is the style beautiful, but the pearl jade on the network is also very rich. In the late Tang poet Zheng Yi, in his "Zinyangmen Poetry ", he described this situation: in the celebration of the birth of the emperor, many palaces were dressed in Jiuqixian, wearing peacock costumes. With the seven treasures, performing songs and dances, one song is terminated, and the pearl treasures that fall on the ground can be swept with a broom. Although this is from the poet's language, it is inevitable to have exaggerated ingredients, but it can also be seen from the fashion at that time.
The most popular ritual for newborns over 100 days or years of age is the long-lived lock. A lock is a device that acts as a closure. Once a door, box, etc. is locked, it can only be opened with a key. By exaggerating the use of the lock, it can be used to lock intangible things. Padlocks on the chest of a child are meant to lock the child's life and prevent the disease from invading the child. People think that once a child wears a lock, he can grow up without a disaster. Therefore, people call this lock a long life lock.
The long-life lock is worn on the child's chest. It is not an actual lock, but a highly decorative "lock" made by the deformation of the shape of the lock. The shape of the long-life lock has a circular shape, an elliptical shape, a rectangular shape, a square shape, a diamond shape, and even a collar shape. The collar shape is a bold deformation of the traditional shape of the lock, and only the charm of the lock is preserved. The popular custom of necklaces in China today should have some connection with the custom of ancient collar locks. The auspicious meaning of the custom of necklaces should be the remains of the locks and evil spirits. Long life locks are mostly made of silver materials. They are also made of copper and iron. Rich people also use gold. In addition to metals, wood, jade, and cloth are also materials for making long-life locks. Metal long-life locks often have the function of opening the lock, while other materials do not have this function, only the shape of the lock.
Around the long life lock, a variety of birth ritual customs have been formed.
China has popularized the practice of long life locks. First, the grandmother sent a long life lock. In the Jiangnan area, the grandmother wants to send a silver-made decorative lock to the newly born grandson. This silver lock has a round shape and an oval shape. It is generally 10 to 14 cm long and 6 to 8 cm wide. Use a necklace or silk braid to penetrate into the lock, form a circle, hang on the neck of the child, and lock it under the chest. The letter of the letter can protect the child from disasters and disease, and grow up healthily. There are words and patterns on the front and back of the silver lock. They all have the function of enhancing the conservation power of the lock, or they all express the people's good wishes for the long life and happiness of the children. The words appear on the front side, generally the words "long life and centenary", "long life and wealth", "long hair and good fortune", "after fear". The pattern is on the opposite side: mostly auspicious animals such as unicorn, dragon and tiger. And then is sent to the lock godfather godmother. In the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, when the old newborn babies are afraid of new-born babies, they will take measures to eliminate the disasters for the newborn babies. The cognac goddess is a person who has many longevity and longevity, so as to bring good luck to newborn babies. Cognac has to pay for a silver lock and a necklace ring for the newborn baby, and wear it on the baby's neck. When a child reaches 12 years old, he is considered to have passed the dangerous period. He must remove the silver lock and collar and call it a switch. Children who have passed the lock and switch ceremony can get rid of the difficulties in their destiny, disease-free, disaster-free, healthy and longevity. The long-lived lock given to children in the Jiangsu area is not worn on the neck, but in the bedroom of the child. The ceremony of sending long life locks is held when it is recognized. When you think about it, you should use the name of the cognac to give the son a name, called "following the name." Also write "contribution paper." The successor paper is a small vertical shaft, two feet long and one foot wide, with red paper and green edges. Write "Guifu Xianggong passed the phase (dry name) door, named XX, long life hundred years old" and other words. The left link is: "Su Cai Guo Fu", the right link is: "Yi Zi Peng Nian". On the shaft, a red or gold rope is used to hang a gold or silver lock piece, that is, a long life lock, which is engraved with the words "long life and centenary". The vertical axis is hung in the dry son's bedroom, and the vulgar can drive evil. There is also a long-lived lock in the name of the temple. This custom involves the power of the Taoist or Buddhist gods to lock the child's life and avoid the harm of the demon. The practice is to give the temple or the Taoist certain property, in front of the squat or the road, let the child "name" as a disciple, and then hang it in the lock with a lock-shaped ornament. This kind of lock is called "name lock." There is also the custom of recognizing monks or priests as fathers. The lock worn by the father is in the name of the father, and it is also the meaning of the child’s longevity through Taoism or Buddhist deities. "Dream of Red Mansions" remembers this custom. Xue Baozhen’s parents once recognized a Shantou monk as her father, and Xue Baozhen got a small golden lock. The eight words of “not tossing, eternal and eternal†are also blessing longevity. Auspicious words like that.
Long-life locks are also purchased or built in the name of a hundred. The significance of this is to gather the power of the people and increase the power of locking the fate of the lock to help the children through all kinds of "connections." In places like Jiangxi, parents of newborns raise money to buy long-lived locks. Pack seven white rice and seven-leaf black tea in red paper to make a small red paper bag. Spread hundreds of such small red paper bags to relatives and friends, many can reach two or three hundred bags. When friends and relatives receive a small red paper bag, they will return the gift with copper coins. The amount of the text varies from a few hundred. Parents use these money to buy a silver lock, tied to the child's neck. The front of the lock has a "Baijiabao lock", and the reverse side has the words "long life and wealth". The vulgar believes that the child wears such a lock, which can prevent disease and avoid disasters and save lives. In Hunan and other places, parents ask a decent person who is influential in the local area to raise money for one hundred families and make a silver lock. A note with the name of a hundred owners is attached, and the lock is also attached. There is a saying like "long life and wealth". When the child is 3 years old, he will wear it when he is in the "flower tree", until the 12-year-old "big mark" is solved. This long life lock made of hundreds of money is also called "100 Locks". The power of the hundred locks comes from the power of hundreds of people. However, the complicated procedures of making up hundreds of money are not easy to do, so there is a simple and easy way to exchange hundreds of words or two hundred to three hundred yuan for money. The money was collected from house to house, and the money came from the meaning of hundreds of people, so in exchange for the lock, the lock was also made by the capital of the hundred.
Long life locks are also sewn with cloth. Use a red cloth to make a chain lock or braid it into a lock shape, or make a collar, and drop the silver medal of "Long Life and 100 Years Old". Every year when you celebrate your birthday, you need to add a layer of red cloth to indicate that the layers are locked to ensure that your child is safe and safe. Until the child reaches the age of 12, he will be cut and burned to show the adult.
There are also long life locks made of silk and copper coins. The wire is braided into a three-foot-long thread, folded back, and the middle is tied with a knot for locking, and several pieces of copper coins are dropped. Before a child wears a lock, it is necessary to burn a copper coin lock with a "table" (a kind of yellow paper for God) in front of God. It is a mysterious force to increase the lock by the power of God to protect the child from disease and disaster.
The custom of hanging long-lived locks gradually evolved into a symbolic ritual. The necklace was replaced by a line, the lock was replaced by a cloth strip, or simply replaced with paper money, and the padlock was taken off the same day. For example, in the three northeastern provinces, there is a custom of a child's full moon to hang a long lifeline. Hanging a long lifeline is obviously a variant of hanging a long life lock. The ceremony was held at the child's grandmother's house. The mother took the child to the grandmother's house, and the grandmother had to hang the long line for the child. The long lifeline is a bunch of white lines in a circle. You can't use other colors. White symbolizes whiteheads. Put this bunch of white lines from the child's head and hang it on the neck. The banknotes should be wrapped around the net. The amount of money wrapped around the line depends on the economic situation. It can be wrapped around five yuan, ten yuan, or tens of dollars or even hundreds. yuan. After the ceremony, the father of the child took the mother and son back. After arriving home, the father should give the child a long lifeline. The long lifeline can't be picked up from the head, but it should be taken from the neck to the body, and finally taken out from the foot. Otherwise, it means the mana of the long lifeline is lifted. . When picking up the long line, you must also pick and read. "Hang on the head, pick up under the feet, kiss the pro, love the grandfather, and live for a hundred years! Long life is 100 years old!" After taking down the long life line, it will wrap the money in the online Take out, and keep the line for the child to quilt.

According to superstition, as long as it is attached to this kind of ornament, it can ward off evil and “ lock †life, so many children are born shortly after birth.

Auspicious words like that.
Long-life locks are also purchased or built in the name of a hundred. The significance of this is to gather the power of the people and increase the power of locking the fate of the lock to help the children through all kinds of "connections."
