The wedding return gift of the wall calendar is a kind of marriage return gift developed with the development of modern society. However, for Chinese people, the most representative wedding return gift is the wedding candy and wedding cake gift box. This tradition has been passed down for thousands of years in China...

The wedding candy and wedding cake gift box in the wedding return gift is different from the wedding candy and wedding cake gift box in the usual wedding (such as birthdays, birthdays, etc., and there are also wedding candy and wedding cake gift boxes). It is usually larger and has a luxurious packaging, and this packaging can be reused.

For example, it can be used as a container for small items or as an outer packaging for packaging gifts. Such gift boxes will contain higher-end candies and wedding cakes.

This type of gift box can be used as a game prize or as a gift to important guests. Some guests may not be able to attend the wedding or come to drink the wedding banquet, so they will give them a bag of grand wedding candy and wedding cake to share the happiness and joy of the newlyweds with them.

The high-end wedding candy and wedding cakes in the wedding candy and wedding cake gift box prepared by Zhao Chaogang, Li Liping and Liu Jingjing were made by Zhao Chaogang himself. The wedding candy and wedding cakes made by himself were more sincere. To be honest, the deliciousness of the wedding candy and wedding cakes made by Zhao Chaogang himself was higher than the deliciousness of the highest-end wedding candy and wedding cakes bought outside.

Besides, even if the wedding candy cakes made by Zhao Chaogang are not as good as the high-end wedding candy cakes bought outside, at least the hygiene of the wedding candy cakes made by Zhao Chaogang himself is definitely far better than the wedding candy cakes sold outside.

Now, in order to make enough profits, those merchants dare not do anything. Even the milk powder that children drink is made of toxic chemicals such as melamine. There is nothing that those unscrupulous merchants can't do.

The wedding candy and wedding cake gift box prepared by Zhao Chaogang is not only delicious wedding candy and wedding cakes. In it, Zhao Chaogang also prepared some different types or different numbers of elixirs based on the distance of the relationship between the two parties.

For example, those who are just business partners at Jingjing's family, there is only a small bottle of the wedding candy cake gift box prepared by Zhao Chaogang. There are not many in it, only eight.

If the relationship is closer, such as Zhao Chaogang, Li Liping, and Liu Jingjing's friends or classmates in Anxi City. Although the number and type of elixirs in the gift box have not changed much, the elixirs inside have changed. The elixirs inside are the lower-grade elixirs.

Of course, there are also differences here. For classmates like Cai Chanjuan and Qin Lei, the elixirs prepared for them by Zhao Chaogang were medium-grade Xiaohuan Dan, and there were eighteen in total.

Those who got the same amount of elixirs and elixirs also had relatives from Zhao Chaogang, as well as friends from the officialdom such as Shi Zhengming, Sheng Zhengzheng, and Zheng Qiushi.

It’s not that Zhao Chaogang is stingy and refuses to give his relatives better and more elixirs. Zhao Chaogang does not give his relatives better and more elixirs. The main reason is to consider the safety of his relatives.

You should know that many of Zhao Chaogang's relatives now (including Liu Jingjing and Li Liping's family) are ordinary people. If they are known, they have many advanced pills in their hands. This is not to help them, but to harm them.

There are too many greedy people who will not be afraid of life and death, come to steal or take away these pills. At that time, Zhao Chaogang was simply out of reach, and Zhao Chaogang's ordinary relatives would definitely not have a good ending if they encountered these dangers.

Therefore, the types and numbers of elixirs that Zhao Chaogang gave to his relatives were actually very average. If he had just such a number and type of elixir, plus his careful advice, he believed that these relatives would not have any trouble coming to his door.

Zhao Chaogang didn't want to do bad things with kindness to do.

The wedding candy and wedding cake gift box is a traditional wedding return gift that we Chinese have passed on for thousands of years. Therefore, Zhao Chaogang prepared very well. However, there is another gift in the wedding return gift prepared by Zhao Chaogang, that is, the crystal pendant with the twelve zodiac signs refined by Zhao Chaogang.

Crystal, a rare mineral, a type of gem, quartz crystal, belongs to the quartz family in mineralogy. The main chemical component is silica, and the chemical formula is private o2. When pure, it forms colorless and transparent crystals. When it contains trace elements al, fe, etc., it appears purple, yellow, brown, etc., and it is irradiated with trace elements to form different types of color centers, resulting in different colors, such as purple, yellow, brown, pink, etc.

The minerals containing companion inclusions are called inclusion crystals, such as hair crystals, green ghosts, etc. The inclusions are rutile, tourmaline, yangqi stone, mica, chlorite, etc.

Rockcrystal is a quartz crystal mineral whose main chemical component is silica, and its chemical formula is private o2. Western countries believe that as long as it is transparent, it is crystal, so the word crystal contains colorless and transparent glass (k9 type, ordinary glass is blue), and also contains natural crystal ore.

The ancient Chinese crystal names are more than ten titles such as water essence, water green, water jade, crystal stone, etc., which are purified in the "Han Sancai Tuhui".

Therefore, for the sake of easy distinction, rockcrystal is usually used internationally to specifically refer to natural crystals.

The well-developed single crystals are hexagonal pyramids, so they are usually blocky or granular aggregates, generally colorless, gray, milky white, and when they contain other mineral elements, they are purple, red, smoke, tea, etc.

When the crystallization of silica is perfect, it is crystal; the crystal is imperfectly crystallized and quartz: silica gelled and dehydrated and becomes agate; the colloid containing aqueous silica solidifies and becomes opal; when the crystal grains of silica are less than a few microns, it forms chalcedony, flint, and secondary quartzite.

Mineral components: goitite, hematite, rutile, magnetite, tourmaline, garnet, mica, chlorite, etc., form inclusion crystals, such as hair crystals, titanium crystals, green ghosts, etc. The hair crystals contain inclusions that are visible to the naked eye to form inclusions of hair-like needle-like minerals.

Those containing manganese and iron are called amethyst; those containing iron (; golden or lemon color) are called citrine; those containing manganese and titanium are called rose quartz, that is, pink crystal; those with smoke are called smoke crystal; those with brown are called tea crystal; those with black and transparent are called ink crystal.

Structural form: The crystal crystal with perfect crystals belongs to the trigonometric crystal system. It is often hexagonal prism-shaped crystals, with transverse lines on the cylinder. The cylinder is pointed at one end or two ends, and multiple long columns are connected together. It is commonly known as crystal clusters, which are beautiful and spectacular, and the shapes are diverse.

Optical properties: Color: The color of crystal can be colored, purple, yellow, pink, green, blue and different degrees of brown until black.

Gloss and transparency: Glass luster, the fracture can have an oily luster. Transparent, as the content increases or the color of colored crystals deepens, the transparency decreases.

Lightness: The positive optical properties of a single-axis crystal. The interference pattern seen in orthogonal polarization is unique, and its black cross arm does not reach the center. It forms a hollow pattern, commonly known as the bull eye interference pattern. The central part is usually light green or light pink.

Refractive index and birefractive index: refractive index 1., birefractive index 0.009. Dispersion 0.013.

Multicolor: Colorless crystals have no multicolor properties. Colored crystals have weak to strong multicolor properties. They are manifested as different depths of body colors.

Mechanical properties: Clarification: There is no cleavage, and there is a typical shell-like fracture. The so-called cleavage refers to the property of the mineral being regularly cracked along a certain direction to form a smooth plane when it is hit.

According to the degree of comprehension, it can be divided into five categories: extremely complete comprehension, complete comprehension, medium comprehension, incomplete comprehension and no comprehension. Crystal belongs to no comprehension.

Hardness: Mohrine hardness 7. It is Mohrine hardness, which is equivalent to that of a steel file.

Density: 2.66 (0.03, 0.02)g/cm3. This means that the weight of a certain volume of crystal is 2 times the weight of the same volume of water. The density of the block-shaped variant crystal may be slightly higher.

Piezoelectricity: When a crystal crystal is subject to pressure, it will generate charges. On the contrary, when it is subject to voltage, the crystal will generate vibrations with a high frequency. Crystals have the properties that can transfer pressure and charge to each other, which is called piezoelectricity.

Sleeping strip color: colorless, the color of mineral powder is called stripes, which can eliminate false colors and weaken other colors. Retaining self-color is one of the more reliable identification characteristics than mineral colors.

Transparency standard: The transparency of a crystal is related to the quality and quantity of the light that passes through it. When the light is transparent than crystal fragments or sheets with a thickness of more than 1 cm, the reflected image can be clearly seen. If the bottom image is not clear enough and only the outline is seen, it is translucent.

Crystal luster: glass luster, grease luster at the fracture.

Gloss refers to an optical property of the surface of the gem to light. Crystals do not reflect beautiful star-shaped stripes like star-light sapphires and star-light gems, nor do they emit light blue wave-shaped brilliance like moonstones, nor do they flash colorful like opalites.

To observe the gloss of the crystal, you can hold it in your hand and use the light cast from the light from the window to see the surface reflection. The brightness of the transparent crystal is related to the gloss strength.

Most crystals are underground. In caves, there is a rich source of groundwater. The groundwater also contains saturated silicon dioxide. At the same time, the pressure must be about twice to three times that of atmospheric pressure, and the temperature must be between 550 and 600c. If you give appropriate time, the crystal will crystal into hexagonal columnar crystals according to the natural laws of the hexagonal system.

Generally, in an ideal environment controlled by artificially, that is, physical and chemical conditions meet the above conditions, the growth rate of crystals is about 0.8 mm (mm) per day. This is also the standard production speed of many artificial crystal laboratories and factories.

The crystal cultivated from this is the so-called synthetic crystal, which is usually cut into chips for industrial purposes of electronic, computer, and communications; some people also call it cultured quatz. Although different nouns are used, they actually talk about the same thing.

Generally, artificial crystals for industrial purposes need about three centimeters in thickness, that is, 30mm, and it takes about 40 days to grow; if it is used as a jewelry industry to grind crystal balls of more than ten centimeters (100mm), it usually takes about 120 to 180 days.

However, this is only possible in the most ideal environment under artificial control. This speed is possible. In nature, the situation is not so optimistic. Because the conditions of raw materials, water quality, temperature, pressure, etc. are constantly changing, and it is difficult to achieve the ideal situation. It usually takes tens of thousands or millions of times to achieve the same growth.

This is why geological age movements are calculated based on millions of years, and it is also the reason why natural crystals are precious.

When normal crystals grow, growth lines (growthlines) parallel to the cylindrical tip lines can be found. Because the growth space in the underground caves is very narrow, especially when earthquakes occur, or when the earth's crust changes, it is even prone to squeeze by other ores, which often pressure different crystal surfaces.

Also. When the crystal is still in liquid state, it is often covered with other ores, and the mud is crystallized and grown together, such as rutile (later turned into crystal), volcanic mud (later turned into phantom crystal), etc. All of these are part of nature. Please do not consider them as flaws.

The evaluation criteria of crystals are different from those of high-end gemstones. Most high-end gemstones put color first in evaluation. For crystals, color and clarity (called crystals in the crystal industry) are almost equally important factors:

Color: For any gem, color is very important, and crystal is no exception. If crystal crystals are colored, such as pink crystal, citrine, amethyst, etc., the highest standard for color evaluation is bright and charming, without other colors such as gray, black, and brown.

For example, pink crystal, the color is better than pink; amethyst. The color is required to be bright purple, pure and not black; citrine. The color is required to be green, lemon tone, and kumquat.

For hair crystals, the color of the crystal is also very important. The blond hair crystals with the same hair are completely colorless (white crystal) and the crystals are slightly brown, and the visual perception of the naked eye is also different, so the price of the former will be higher than the latter.

Clarity: The clarity requirements of crystals and high-end gems are very different. High-end gems are rare and rare, so people generally do not demand too much on the clarity of high-end gems. The output of crystals is really amazing, so people usually require that the higher the clarity of crystals, the better, and try to avoid crystals with obvious inclusions.

Impurities: If there are legendary figures in the impurities inside the crystal, such as Buddha, zodiac signs, and zodiac signs, etc., the value may be higher than that of crystals of the same color and clarity.

The country has not yet provided a specific standard for grading the natural crystals. The variety of crystals is diverse, and each variety has its own different evaluation criteria.

Crystal identification: When touching the crystal with your hands, the temperature of natural crystals is usually much cooler than that of artificial crystals; when observing with your eyes, natural crystals usually have cotton-shaped inclusions, which is not available in artificial crystals.

For monochromatic crystals such as amethyst citrine, it is usually necessary to observe its dichromaticity. Even the top amethyst citrine has color difference. This method can be used to identify whether the color is added. These are the simplest methods and are simple and easy to understand.

Crystals have quality levels, and there are many factors that affect the price of crystals. Unlike diamonds, which can be judged by 4c, so everyone needs to listen, watch, and compare to truly distinguish them.

The general standard is that the larger the crystal stone, the better, the more transparent the better, the more delicate the color, the better, and the more typical the shape, the better. However, the most important thing is that you like it yourself. There are roughly the following ways to identify the authenticity when purchasing:

1. Look: During the formation process of natural crystals, they often contain some impurities due to the environment. When observing the sun, you can see faint uniform and fine horizontal lines or catkin-like substances. False crystals mostly use residual crystal slag, glass slag, and are made of polished and colored, without uniform stripes or catkin-like substances.

2 Tongue licking: Even in the hot summer days, licking the surface of natural crystals with your tongue, it will feel cold and cool. Fake crystals will not feel cool.

3 Light: When a natural crystal is placed vertically in the sunlight, it can emit beautiful brilliance no matter which angle it looks at it. Fake crystal cannot.

4 Hardness: Natural crystal has a high hardness. Use gravel to gently scratch the jewelry, without leaving any traces; if there are traces, it is a fake crystal.

5. Check with a polarizer: If the four bright and four dark changes are changed by rotating under the polarizer by 360 degrees, the one that does not change is a fake crystal.

6. Use two-color inspection: natural amethyst has dichromatic properties, while fake crystals have no dichromatic properties.

7. Check with a magnifying glass: Use a ten-fold magnifying glass to check under transmitted light. The bubbles that can be found can basically be designated as fake crystals.

8. Check with hair strands: Only round crystal balls. Put the crystal ball on a hair strand. If the human eye can see the double shadows of the hair through the crystal, it is a crystal ball. It is mainly because the crystal is birefringent. However, this cannot distinguish between natural crystals, nurturing crystals and smelting crystals. Only other substances such as glass can be distinguished.

9 Use a thermal conductor to detect: adjust the thermal conductor to green 4 grids to test the gemstone. The natural crystal can rise to 2 grids in yellow, while the fake crystal does not rise, and when the area is large, it rises to one grid in yellow.

Crystal culture has a long history, and the ancients once gave it a string of elegant names with great beauty: water jade, water essence, water green, etc.

The oldest name for water jade in China is water jade, which means water jade, and it is also said to be "transformed by ice for thousands of years." The Tang Dynasty poet Wen Tingyun wrote in "Inscription on Li Chushi's Secluded Residence": "The water jade hairpin head is white horn scarf, and the jade zither is silent and blows through the dust."

The word "Shuiyu" first and frequently comes from "Shan Hai Jing": "Another three hundred miles east, the mountain in Ritangting... is full of water jade"; "Danshan comes out, flows southeast and flows into Luoshui, with many water jade in it"; "Chasing water comes out, flows north and flows into Wei in it, with many water jade in it".

Sima Xiangru's "Shanglin Fu" says: "Shui Yu Lei River". The crystal is named Shui Yu. The ancients valued the texture of "its brightness are like water and its hardness is like jade."

In "Shan Hai Jing", crystal is also called "Shui Bi": "It is three hundred miles south, and the sun rises to the mountains, without plants and trees, and there are many waters". Guo Pu's note: "It is also water jade".

This title is often cited by literati. Guo Jingchun of the Jin Dynasty said in "Pujiang Fu": "Ghost, water is blue and hidden". Some people call it Crystal Yuying. "Fu Ruitu" records that "Beautiful stones are like jade, and water essence is called Yuying."

Water essence: Why is crystal called water essence? "Guangya" has a clever explanation: "The elves of water"; Li Shizhen said: "The crystal clear and crystal light is like the elite of water."

After careful consideration, this name also contains a strong religious meaning! The name of Water Essence was first seen in the Buddhist book, and translated by Zhi Yao of the Later Han Dynasty, saying: "The way he is doing is like Water Essence."

Quartz. In "Guangya", crystal is called quartz, and those with white color as white as bright are also called white. It is an unusual character attached. Sima Xiangru's "Zixu Fu" has a sentence of "Yellow and White". Su Lin explained: "White, white quartz is".

Other descriptions: "The Commentary on the Different Names of Common Objects" says: "The essence of water comes out of the Great Qin State, and it is Li Nan."

The crystal crystal that is crystallized is like the jagged horse teeth, so people also call it horse tartar. The ancestors first used it to grind it into glasses, so they gave it a nickname for glasses.

Crystal is a common name, but also a common name. In Guangzhou, it is called crystal Jingyu, also known as fish brain jelly. Mountain residents in Donghai County, Jiangsu Province found that crystal would "spread the flames", so they gave it the common name of radiant stone.

It is not surprising that there are many names in the world, but it is rare to see that crystal has so many nicknames. Look, from water jade, water jade, white jade, Yuying, water essence quartz, Li Nan, crystal jade to Bodhisattva stone, horse tartar stone, glasses stone, light-emitting stone, thousand-year ice, mountain frozen, fish brain frozen, etc., it simply constitutes a history of appreciating strange stones.

Yuying and Water Jade are both the early nicknames of crystal. Legend has it that in ancient times, Chi Songzi once took it, to teach Shennong and jump into the fire to burn his own immortal crystal, a clear body, and a vast elves.

It contains the elegant aura between heaven and earth, flows the majestic rhyme in the universe, and embodies the cultural plot of ancient civilizations. Exquisite stones can sing, and sing stones can inspire poets to indulge in sing crystals.

Stone and crystal have become the objects of endless singing of Chu Sao, Han Fu, Tang poetry, Song Ci, and Yuan Song, which has inspired many immortal poems in the history of Chinese literature.

"Shan Hai Jing" and "Shu Yi Ji" deify crystals; "Han Feizi" and "Taizhen Wai Zhuan" deify crystals.

According to rough statistics, as for culture, there are 300 poems related to crystal in history, including nearly 100 poems in Tang Dynasty, more than 100 poems in Song Dynasty, and more than 100 poems in Jin Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, Ming and Qing Dynasties to modern times.
