About the Item

This exquisite Hetian white jade fasting plaque bears the carved characters Zhaijie (齋戒), representing spiritual purification and devotion to Buddhist practice. The rectangular jade plaque features intricate relief carving with detailed inscriptions and decorative elements that speak to centuries of Chinese scholarly and religious tradition. Suspended from a strand of 87 jade beads alternating between smaller round beads and larger oval beads, this piece embodies both spiritual significance and timeless elegance. Crafted from premium Hetian white jade, revered as 'the king of jades' in Chinese tradition for over four millennia, this pendant showcases the distinctive translucent quality and soft luminescence that sets authentic Hetian jade apart. This particular piece displays a beautiful pale green tone with subtle variations and natural inclusions that confirm its authenticity, while the fine grain structure creates the smooth, almost silky texture that collectors prize. The jade's gentle opacity allows light to pass through in a way that creates an inner glow, particularly noticeable in natural sunlight. The term Zhaijie (齋戒) refers to the Buddhist and Daoist practice of ritual fasting and spiritual cleansing, often undertaken before important ceremonies or meditation retreats. These fasting plaques were historically worn by scholars, monks, and devout practitioners as reminders of their commitment to spiritual discipline and mental clarity. The carved characters serve as both personal affirmation and protective talisman, believed to help maintain focus during periods of spiritual cultivation and to ward off distractions from worldly concerns. The pendant measures approximately 43mm in length, 31mm in width, and 6.83mm in depth, creating a substantial yet graceful presence. The strand of 87 jade beads creates an elegant necklace that showcases the pendant, with alternating small round beads and larger oval beads creating visual rhythm and movement. The total weight of 24 grams gives the piece a satisfying presence without being cumbersome for daily wear. Whether you seek a meaningful connection to Buddhist spiritual practices or appreciate the scholarly elegance of traditional Chinese jade carving, this pendant serves as both personal talisman and cultural treasure. It speaks to those who value mindfulness and spiritual discipline, making it an ideal companion for meditation practice or a thoughtful gift for someone embarking on their own journey of self-cultivation and inner growth.
