The Story of Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival
Chinese Moon Goddess (Chang’e)
Chang'e or Chang-Ngo is the Chinese goddess of the moon. Unlike many lunar deities in other cultures who personify the moon, Chang'e only lives on the moon. As the "woman on the Moon", Chang'e could be considered the Chinese complement to the Western notion of a man in the moon.
The Story of Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival
Long long ago, there were 10 suns on the sky. They burnt all the plants on the earth. People were dying.
One day, a hero whose name was Hou Yi used his bow and arrows to shoot down nine of them. All the people on the earth were saved.
One day, the queen of heaven gave Hou Yi a bottle elixir which could make Hou Yi become an immortal but the elixir was only efficacious for one person. Hou Yi did want to become an immortal but he wanted to stay with her beautiful wife Chang'e more, so he didn't drink the elixir and asked his wife Chang'e to keep it for him.
Hou Yi was becoming more and more famous after he shot down the nine suns and more and more men wanted Hou Yi to be their master. Most of them were accepted by Hou Yi.
Not every student of Hou Yi had good morality. Feng Meng, one of his students, wanted to seize his elixir. One day, Hou Yi went hunting with his students but Feng Meng pretended to be ill and stay at home. When making sure Hou Yi had gone he went to Hou Yi's house and tried to force Chang'e to give him the elixir. Chang'e knew she couldn't defeat Feng Meng so she drank the elixir immediately. The elixir made her become an immortal and fly higher and higher. Finally, she stopped on the moon.
From then on, people often pray Chang'e for fortune and safety. Especially on the Mid-Autumn Festival they prepared lots of foods for Chang'e.
What is Mammoth Ivory?
What is Mammoth Ivory?
Mammoth tusk ivory (fossil ivory) comes from the two modified upper incisors of extinct mammoth. Mammoth Ivory (fossil ivory) or Mastodon Ivory is fossilized from an extinct mammal which was called woolly mammoth. The Woolly Mammoth Mammuthus primigenius has been extinct for at least 10,000 years. They originated in
Mammoth Tusk Ivory is an International Free Trade merchandise
Unlike African and modern elephant ivory, mammoths have been extinct for 10,000 years, therefore mammoth ivory (fossil ivory) is not listed in the Appendices to the CITES. As such, it is not subject to control under the Animals and Plants (Protection of Endangered Species) Ordinance, Cap. 187. All mammoth ivory tusk (fossil ivory) itself is already a precious antique. Because of the geographical range in
Mammoth Ivory Care
Mammoth Ivory (fossil ivory) is sensitive to temperature & humidity and will adjust to the weather conditions as it breathes. Harsh fluctuations and extreme conditions will have an adverse effect on the Mammoth Ivory as it expands and contracts. In excessive cases the Mammoth Ivory can crack and split as the result of stress. Every effort has been taken to select the finest Ivory that is free of imperfections and that was properly acclimatized for several years out of the ground. To protect the Ivory; I recommend that twice a year, mineral oil be rubbed onto the ivory to replenish its oils. The included Renaissance Wax may also be used when the Ivory needs a protective polished shine.
If you care for the ivory in the way I describe, it should last a very long time. There are considerable amounts of Ivory in the world that have survived for centuries. It just needs a little care, like anything else of value.
PLEASE DO NOT:
-Get the mammoth ivory wet
-Get any chemicals on the mammoth ivory
-Expose mammoth ivory to sunlight directly
-Expose mammoth ivory to harsh swings in humidity and or temperature
