He asked if the auspicious dragon and phoenix motif on this lucky charm had any specific meaning. He noted the magnificent and perfect design accompanying the motif, a common pattern in ancient imperial courts, also used in modern wedding attire and lanterns. He praised the craftsmanship of the dragon lucky charm, noting its use of original materials from the Flying Dragon Flower Palace and its on-site creation, making it a truly precious and memorable gift.

I said it didn't have any special meaning; it was just one of the remaining words chosen by the first five VIPs. There were a total of six words to choose from for this year's Year of the Dragon lucky charms, first come, first served. Those who arrived last didn't get a choice; their Year of the Dragon lucky charm with that word couldn't be changed.

Jin Huyue said it didn't matter; he thought the phrase was good. The dragon and phoenix motif and its accompanying characters are common choices for metal and jade materials—they're both auspicious and powerful. Just because other guests didn't choose it doesn't mean it's bad; it's an ideal theme that embodies the spirit of festive celebrations.

I mentioned that this amulet is made of colored brocade silver, a material that was left over from other VIPs' selections. Jin Huyue, you don't mind this material? In the eyes of the world, white silver and colored silver are of ordinary value, far less valuable than high-end jewelry and jade. Silver products are not expensive.

Jin Huyue said, "Why would anyone dislike such a magnificent and precious material? The subtly changing, textured silver is beautiful and elegant. Silver is money; if there's a large quantity or the craftsmanship is excellent, it can be quite valuable. In ancient times, when precious metals were used, copper coins were small change, broken silver was medium-denomination currency, and silver ingots were high-denomination currency. Royal families and nobles kept silver ingots in their treasuries. As for jewelry and gold, they were mainly luxury items and ornaments, not as commonly used as silver, which was a very circulating form of currency. It's said that silver can ward off evil spirits and detect poison. In ancient times, many royal relatives would use silver needles to test their health before meals. Silver needles were also used for acupuncture. Silver jewelry is also the most common metal ornament. Such a common material, although small quantities are inexpensive, is very accessible and practical. Many people like white silver and colored silver; everyone has their own preferences."
