The ancestors of Tibet believed that the dzi bead was a supernatural object created by the gods. It was naturally generated or descended from the sky. If anyone said that the dzi bead was a handicraft of "the harmony between man and nature", they would strongly oppose it. Asked many Tibetan people where dzi beads came from, they told the same old myth: In ancient times, dzi beads were ornaments worn by gods. Whenever the beads were broken or slightly damaged, the gods would throw them down the fossils of living things. Nautilus and trilobite are in the same era. In the Tingri area of ​​the Himalayas and on the fossil mountain in the uninhabited area of ​​northern Tibet, people have picked up the conch fossil dzi beads. The story of the common people said: Once there was a person who saw such a bug on the top of a mountain, and he threw a hat on it and covered it. When he removed his hat, the worm had petrified and became a dzi bead. R. In his article "Tibet's Prehistoric Beads", Dr. Nebeski-Wokowitz tells a legend in the Ngari region in western Tibet. It is believed that the Dzi Bead originated on a mountain near Rudok, and when it encountered heavy rain, the Dzi Bead cascaded down the slope like a stream. However, one day, a witch stared at the mountain with "evil eyes", and the dzi immediately stopped flowing. To this day, natural dzi beads with distinctive eye patterns can be seen where the dzi beads continue to flow out.
