The word ‘平’ not only refers to the idea of ‘peace’ itself, but also to all its iterations including the concept of equality, harmony, and balance. The Chinese words for peaceful ‘平安’ and balance ‘平衡’ can both be expressed and conveyed with the character ‘平’ alone. In traditional ideology, ‘peace’ refers to situations where life delivers on its promises. Balance and peace emerge in the small everyday moments when hard work is acknowledged, when you are in good health, and when your relationships are rewarding. Wear this pendant as a reminder to strive for a harmonious life through balance and cherish the moments that exist in the everyday, not just the big moments.
