The Historical Origin of Jewelry

It is difficult to accurately verify when humans wore jewelry. But it is not difficult to infer that since humans began to realize the importance of decorating and beautifying themselves, they have also formed an inseparable bond with it. The most primitive jewelry of humans can probably be traced back to the distant Stone Age.
From the collection of data from the Paleolithic era discovered around the world and from modern primitive tribes, it can be found that early primitive forms of body ornaments mainly included necklaces, waist ornaments, arm ornaments, wrist ornaments, headwear, o.s.frv.. Among these forms, necklaces and waist ornaments were the main ones. They are largely decorated around the human reproductive area, Og ástæðan fyrir þessu er ekki aðeins sú að þessir hlutir þola að bera hluti, heldur einnig að mikill fjöldi rannsókna sýnir að þessi valkostur hefur annan tilgang.
Litir og mynstur á dýrum eru einnig líkamsskraut. Náttúruleg líkamsskraut, karlfuglahöfuðfatnaður, hálsmen, brjóstskraut, halaskraut, o.s.frv.. sýna oft reglulegar breytingar og sýningar á varptímanum, og þessar skreytingar eru áhrifaríkar við að laða að gagnstæða kynið. Mikið magn líffræðilegra efna hefur staðfest að dýrsbjört skreytingar hafa mikinn kost í kynvali. Húðflúr á mannslíkamanum eru svipuð gerð líkamsskrauts, og líkamsskreyting er eigindleg breyting sem lengir náttúrulega skreytingu dýra.
The earliest human ornaments discovered in the late Paleolithic period around the world, whether they are animal teeth, feathers, or stone beads, all have a very significant characteristic: smooth, regular, small, og fallegir. And this characteristic further illustrates the important psychological motivations behind body decoration, such as makeup, self-expression, and attracting the opposite sex. þess vegna, it is very scientific to derive the aesthetic sense of body decoration from psychological and physiological instincts. The “human body beautification” function derived from this origin is the most primitive and fundamental function of jewelry.
There are two other important factors in the origin and development of jewelry, one is the religious functional factor, and the other is the social functional factor, both of which are based on physiological instincts and have developed and evolved on this basis. Religion originated from the witchcraft of prehistoric humans, and the religious motivation for the development of body decoration was gradually formed and deeply rooted in people’s thoughts under the guidance of this witchcraft ideology and the witchcraft activities of prehistoric humans. In the process of labor practice, primitive humans gradually developed a vague and mysterious view of some materials closely related to their lives in nature, such as plant fruits, seeds, animal feathers, teeth, bones, and stone (jade) efni. They even regarded them as objects of worship in their witchcraft activities, endowing them with mysterious power.
If they hang the fruits or seeds of plants on the mother’s body to pray for reproduction; Wearing the fur, teeth, and bones of hunting animals on their bodies in order to achieve success in hunting and their own safety; The worship of stone (jade) materials originates from the deep affection of primitive people for stone tools. Those with slight luster and bright colors are regarded as gifts from a mysterious master in their hearts. They carefully collect and protect them, and in this process, gradually enrich the connotation of this natural worship object. The initial enlightenment thought of Chinese jade culture originated from this. In various cultures of the Stone Age in China, jade has always been regarded as a natural worship object with rich spirituality, widely used in witchcraft rituals. Og það var borið af fornkveðnum mönnum sem skraut til að fegra sig sjálfa, sem einnig góðluckuvörður til að verja gegn illsku og hörmungum, og til að snúa óheppni í góða heppni. Í fornri vestrænni siðmenningu, litarsteinar hafa verið kunnuglegir um langan tíma. Þeir hafa einnig verið gæddir með einhverri dularfullri trúarlegri máttkrafti í ferlinu við að verða kunnuglegir og notaðir. Forn Babylon bauð heiðarsteini til guðinn statúu 6000 fyrir mörgum árum til að biðja um einhvern dularfullan mátt. Hailan gimsteinur er talinn vera eðli sjávar til að biðja um öryggi siglinga eða veiða.
