Saturn 鎭星
Saturn 「鎮星」
22° AW2025企劃——「龍蛇混集」
2025年十月，東京龍蛇混集聚於澀谷
22°謹於今年十月，日本東京國際眼鏡展呈獻新作「龍蛇混集」。
「鎮星」在中國古代，土星被稱為「鎮星」。古人觀測到土星約28年繞天一周（實際為29.5年），每年大約鎮守二十八宿中的一宿，彷彿輪流坐鎮四方，故得此名。
在西方，它是以羅馬神話中的農神薩圖恩（Saturn）命名
正面特質：可靠、穩重、有耐心、有條理、自律、堅忍不拔、有責任感、值得信賴、具有權威和智慧。
若居於中央則黃帝入命統御四方、兼具創造潛能的強大土性能量。它是穩固天下的基石。
22°精心設定眼鏡型號J1鈦金屬人手製作，以「土生金」相生組合，增強佩戴者以自身雙手開創未來的能量，預意吉祥！
配上蛇骨更能增加長壽平安和帶來好運！
蛇是遠古生物並存活至現代。當離開世界最後只留下蛇骨，如果姻緣際遇能配合往往可以存放很長的時間甚至乎過千萬年成為化石！所以不同民族都喜歡佩戴至今，有長壽、吉祥和帶來好運的意義至今！
美洲土著文化
製作：蛇骨可能與其他自然材料（如羽毛、樹皮）結合，製作成複雜的護身符。使用：在治療儀式和慶典中使用，通常伴隨歌曲和舞蹈，增強其神聖性。
非洲文化
製作：蛇骨會被精心裝飾，可能加入珠子、草藥或其他材料，以增添其神秘感。使用：作為護身符佩戴在身，或於重要儀式中使用，例如成年禮和豐收節。
歐洲民間信仰
製作：蛇骨經常被簡單清洗和乾燥，然後放置在家庭顯眼的位置，如門口或窗台。使用：作為驅邪符咒，在特定節日和慶典中使用，以保護家庭免受邪惡的侵害。
南亞文化
製作：經過清洗和乾燥的蛇骨，可能會鑲嵌在金屬或布料上，製作成護身符。
使用：在宗教儀式中放置於神龕附近，祈求神靈的庇佑。
中國文化
製作：蛇骨經過清洗和晾乾，常用紅繩或金屬鏈串聯而成。使用：在節慶和祭祀時懸掛於門口或佩戴於身，祈求辟邪和帶來好運。
蛇與龍
神話角度：蛇若想化為應龍，需累積3000年以上修煉，並滿足「天地靈氣+功德機緣」的苛刻條件。 戰國秦漢：哲學整合與龍形定稿（前475–公元220年）
1. 《易經》理論奠基 《周易·繫辭下》載：「龍蛇之蟄，以存身也」，將蛇冬眠習性比附龍的隱現，確立二者生命週期的哲學同構。
2.漢代緯書與帝王符命
《尚書中候》稱：「赤龍負圖授堯」，劉邦被神化為「赤帝子」斬白蛇（白帝子），蛇正式成為龍的凡間化身。
王充《論衡》直言：「龍或時似蛇，蛇或時似龍」，反映民間認知中蛇龍的流動性。
如《抱朴子》所言：「蛇之未化，蜷於草澤；龍之既成，翔於九霄。」此「化」在人心，不在皮骨。

Saturn 「鎮星」
22° AW2025 —— Loong and Snake Convergence(龍蛇混集)
This October, Tokyo will witness the convergence of loong and snakes (龍蛇混集)in Shibuya.
#Tokyo International Eyewear Exhibition
In ancient China, Saturn was known as "鎮星" (The Guardian Star). Ancient astronomers observed that Saturn orbits the heavens approximately every 28 years (actually 29.5 years), guarding one of the twenty-eight lunar mansions each year, as if taking turns presiding over the four directions—hence its name.
In the West, it is named after Saturn, the Roman god of agriculture.
Positive traits: Reliable, steady, patient, organized, self-disciplined, persevering, responsible, trustworthy, authoritative, and wise.
When positioned at the center, it embodies the Yellow Emperor's destiny to rule all directions, combining powerful earth energy with creative potential. It is the cornerstone that stabilizes the world.
22° meticulously designed the J1 titanium eyewear, handcrafted to symbolize the "Earth generates Metal" synergy, enhancing the wearer’s energy to shape their future with their own hands—an auspicious寓意吉祥 (yùyì jíxiáng) blessing!
Paired with snake bone accents, it further promotes longevity, peace, and good fortune!
The snake is an ancient creature that has survived into modern times. When leaving this world, only snake bones remain. If fate allows, these bones can endure for millions of years, turning into fossils! Different cultures have cherished them, symbolizing longevity, good fortune, and auspiciousness to this day.
Indigenous American Culture
Crafting:Snake bones may be combined with other natural materials (like feathers and bark) to create intricate amulets.
Usage:They are used in healing rituals and celebrations, often accompanied by songs and dances to enhance their sacredness.
African Culture
Crafting:Snake bones are carefully decorated, possibly incorporating beads, herbs, or other materials to enhance their mystique.
Usage:Worn as amulets or used in significant rituals, such as coming-of-age ceremonies and harvest festivals.
European Folklore
Crafting:Snake bones are often simply cleaned and dried, then placed in prominent household locations, like doorways or windowsills.
Usage:They serve as talismans to ward off evil, utilized during specific festivals and celebrations to protect homes from malevolent forces.
South Asian Culture
Crafting:The cleaned and dried snake bones may be set into metal or fabric to create amulets.
Usage:Placed near altars during religious ceremonies, they are invoked for divine protection.
Chinese Culture
Crafting:Cleaned and dried snake bones are often strung together with red cords or metal chains.
Usage:Hung at doorways or worn during festivals and rituals, they are believed to ward off evil and bring good fortune.
Snake and Loong
Mythological Perspective:To transform into a Loong, a snake must accumulate over 3,000 years of cultivation and meet the stringent conditions of “heaven and earth’s spirit energy + karmic opportunities.”
Warring States to Qin and Han Dynasties:Philosophical integration and finalization of the Loong form (475 BC – AD 220)
1. Foundations of the I Ching(易經) :The theory states in "Zhou Yi, Commentary on the Appended Words": "The hibernation of the Loong and snake is for self-preservation," linking the snake's hibernation habits to the Loong's emergence, establishing a philosophical isomorphism in their life cycles.
2. Han Dynasty's Texts and Imperial (漢代緯書與帝王符命 )
Mandates:The "Shang Shu Zhong Hou" mentions: "The red Loong bears the chart and bestows it to Yao," with Liu Bang being deified as "Red Emperor" who slays the white snake (the White Emperor). Thus, the snake officially becomes the earthly incarnation of the Loong.
Wang Chong in "Lun Heng" bluntly states: "Sometimes the dragon resembles the snake, and sometimes the snake resembles the Loong," reflecting the fluidity of their identities in popular perception.
As stated in "Bao Pu Zi 抱朴子": "Before transformation, the snake coils in the grass; once it becomes a Loong, it soars in the skies." This transformation lies in the hearts of the people, not in skin or bones.
