There are many kinds of amber, such as Sherper, Jin Po, Lanper, etc. And beeswax is actually a kind of amber, named for its color like honey and light like wax. The appearance of beeswax is bright yellow to dark red. There is not much difference in physical and chemical composition between beeswax and amber, both of which are organic minerals formed by long-term burial of fossil resins.
The biggest difference between amber and beeswax is the difference in succinic acid content. When the content of succinic acid is less than 4%, it is basically transparent, so it is called amber. When the content of succinic acid is 4%~8%, it is in a cloud-like translucent state. Such amber is generally called gold silk beeswax. When the content of succinic acid is above 8%, it becomes opaque foam, which is also called beeswax.
Pure and transparent mingpo makes people feel quiet, refreshing and comfortable; Jin Po, as attractive as gold, radiates golden light; Passionate blood, warm and pleasant; The reserved and deep beeswax is full of waxy luster, so it is named because of its "color like honey, light like wax". Beeswax was called "the gold of the north" in ancient times. The concubines of ancient emperors regarded beeswax as an auspicious thing and a symbol of "power", especially the bright yellow beeswax, which was a royal patent from the Qing Dynasty.
Modern people gradually shift their eyes from gold, silver and diamonds to beeswax. It lacks the luxury of gold, the eye-catching of silver and the dazzling luster of diamonds. It is dotted on the chest, under the ear and between the wrists and necks, not too ostentatious, quietly showing simplicity and elegance, and implicitly expressing taste and accomplishment.
