In my childhood, climbing Mount Qingcheng with my grandfather, I encountered a white-haired Taoist priest. His wrist adorned with a rustic cypress bead bracelet glowing warmly amidst incense smoke. "Each bead embodies a kalpa, each thought forms a karma," his words became my first bond with Taoist wisdom.

Over two decades, I've witnessed dawn bells at Wudang's Purple Cloud Palace, measured moonlight on Dragon-Tiger Mountain's cliff coffins, and sought hermits in Zhongnan Mountain's mist. Lightning-struck jujube wood steeped in millennium-old energy, natural jade bearing celestial essence, and ritual objects blessed by secluded masters all whisper the profound truth of "Great Tao follows simplicity." One autumn, Master Qingxu of Zhongnan bestowed me the Taoist name "Xuanzhu" (Mystical Pearl), committing to embody Tao through sacred objects.

We select wood aged using ancient methods, commission hidden Zhongnan artisans to carve talismans, and collaborate with seventh-generation jade carvers beneath Wudang to create Yin-Yang pendants. Three-tenths of each sale supports temple restoration and sustains mountain craftsmen. These beads carry not just cosmic energy, but the living flame of Chinese Taoist heritage.
