-> The lotus held strong symbolic meaning in ancient Egypt. It was associated with rebirth and regeneration, as the flower closes at night and reopens with the sun, making it a symbol of the daily cycle of life. It was also linked to the sun god and creation myths, often representing emergence from the primordial waters.

莲花在古埃及具有强烈的象征意义。它与重生和再生相关，因为花在夜间合拢，日出后再开放，成为生命日常循环的象征。它也与太阳神与创世神话相关，常代表从原始水域的出现。

Historical background:
-> Lapis Lazuli was associated with strength, courage, royalty, wisdom and truth. The dark blue colour reminded the Egyptian of the night skies and the gold pyrite flecks as the stars. It was favoured by the Egyptian pharaohs and was famously used in the burial mask of King Tutankhamun.

历史背景:
青金石与力量、勇气、皇室、智慧与真理相关。深蓝色让埃及人联想到夜空，金黄的黄铁矿斑点如星星。深受埃及法老喜爱，著名地用于图坦哈蒙王的棺面罩。

-> The Egyptians believed carnelian had magical powers; it was believed it could ward off evil, help the blood circulation and make the skin look healthy and youthful.
Carnelian was known as the 'Blood of Isis' (Goddess of nature and guide of souls to the Underworld). Accordingly, a carnelian amulet called a 'thet' was placed on mummies to assist the dead in their journey to the afterlife.
The Egyptian faith in carnelian was so strong that, along with turquoise and lapis lazuli, it was the most used stone in ancient Egyptian jewellery.

-> 埃及人相信红玉髓具有神奇力量；据说它能驱邪、促进血液循环，并使皮肤看起来健康年轻。红玉髓被称为“伊西斯之血”（自然女神，也是引导灵魂进入冥界的守护者）。因此，在木乃伊上放置一个名为“thet”的红玉髓护符，以帮助亡者进入来世。埃及人对红玉髓的信仰如此坚定，与绿松石和青金石并列，成为古埃及珠宝中使用最广泛的石材。
