Black Myth Wukong Series-The Tale of Taishang Laojun and Wukong

After Sun Wukong caused chaos in the Heavenly Palace, in order to quell the unrest, the Heavenly Court sent Taishang Laojun to Huaguo Mountain to educate and restrain Sun Wukong. Taishang Laojun did not confront Sun Wukong directly, but dealt with him through his magic weapon, the "Alchemical Furnace." In Chapter 14 of "Journey to the West," Sun Wukong was captured for rebelling against the Heavenly Court and was sent to be refined in Taishang Laojun's Alchemical Furnace. The flames of the furnace were extremely fierce, and Sun Wukong suffered greatly within it, but ultimately, due to his tenacious will and extraordinary magical powers, he was not destroyed; instead, he emerged from the furnace stronger than before. As the supreme deity of Taoism, Taishang Laojun represents the order and norms of the universe. In "Journey to the West," his actions reflect the responsibility to maintain the order and norms of the universe, emphasizing the importance of following rules and regulations. Through this experience, Sun Wukong gradually realizes the importance of order, thus growing into a more mature character.

This string of beads expresses the "more mature self after enduring hardships." The beads symbolizing the Alchemical Furnace are made of 925 silver, with black obsidian and rosewood. In many cultures, black obsidian is believed to have powerful protective properties. It is used as an amulet to defend against negative energy and evil influences. Many people believe that black obsidian can help eliminate negative emotions and psychological barriers. In Feng Shui, rosewood is considered to stabilize and enhance the energy field. It can be used as a Feng Shui ornament or furniture to help create a harmonious environment. Additionally, some people believe that rosewood helps promote mental balance and relaxation, enhancing one’s temperament and charm.
