In the novel Dream of the Red Chamber, when the imperial concubine Jia returns home to visit her family, she gives her mother a pair of ju-i from the emperor--one of gold and one of jade--along with 10 lucky ingots inscribed with the images of a ju-i and an ink brush, to symbolize the idea: "Everything will certainly turn out as you wish."
