The wish, and the speed to see it fulfilled.
Of everything carried in Sun Wukong’s story, two instruments do the most work. The Ruyi (如意) is the wish itself — the want, named and held. The Somersault Cloud (筋斗云) is what closes the distance between that wish and its fulfilment, covering a thousand miles in a single leap. The Imperial Harvest Ruyi Somersault Cloud Pendant is built from exactly these two, and nothing else — a deliberately distilled piece for the devotee who wants the doctrine’s speed and its wish-granting power, carried close, without the full weight of the figure it descends from.
This is not a smaller version of a larger story. It is the story’s two sharpest instruments, isolated and worn.
Two Instruments, One Continuous Motion
Every treasure in the Imperial Harvest collection is built to be read the way it is carved: as a sequence, not a static object. The Ruyi Somersault Cloud Pendant reads in exactly two beats — the wish, then the reach.
The wish is named first. Ruyi (如意) means “as one wishes” — a phrase, and a symbol, that has carried this exact meaning through nearly every dynasty of Chinese imperial history. Before it can be fulfilled, a wish must be specific: what is being asked for, and by whom. This is the function the Ruyi performs — not vague good fortune, but a named, held intention, the kind an emperor once presented at court to mark a request already understood to be granted.
The reach follows immediately. A wish named but not delivered is only a hope. This is where the Somersault Cloud enters — the instrument that carried Sun Wukong across a thousand miles in a single leap, closing whatever distance stood between him and wherever he needed to be. Worn alongside the Ruyi, it becomes the mechanism that moves a named wish from intention into arrival, without the delay that so often separates the two.
Together, the pairing is deliberate: a wish without speed stalls. Speed without a named wish has nowhere to go. The pendant carries both, so that neither blessing is left to work alone.
Design & Symbolism
Only two figures are carved into this pendant, alongside the emblem that consecrates it — and each carries enough doctrine on its own to warrant sitting alone, without competing for space.
The Ruyi (如意)
The Ruyi takes the form of a ceremonial scepter, its head shaped like a stylised cloud or lingzhi fungus curling back on itself — a form that has appeared in Chinese court life, temple offerings, and imperial regalia for close to five thousand years. Its name comes directly from its function: 如 (as) and 意 (wish, intention) — “as one wishes.” It is the root of some of the most recognisable Chinese New Year greetings still spoken today: 万事如意 (may all things go as you wish), 吉祥如意 (may fortune unfold as you wish). Carved into this pendant, the Ruyi is not a decorative flourish but a direct instruction — the specific request the wearer carries into every negotiation, every application, every attempt.
The Ruyi also shares its name with Sun Wukong’s own weapon, the Ruyi Jingu Bang (如意金箍棒) — the cudgel that grows, shrinks, lengthens, or thickens to match its wielder’s exact intention. That same principle, scaled to a pendant rather than a weapon, becomes a promise of precision: the wearer’s wish is met exactly as it is asked, not approximated or diminished in the asking.
The Somersault Cloud (筋斗云)
The Somersault Cloud is a flying technique taught to Sun Wukong by his master, Puti Zushi (菩提祖师) — one that grants him omnipresence (无处不在), carrying him a thousand miles in a single leap and covering impossible distances in the blink of an eye. It was not a power Sun Wukong was born with, but one deliberately transmitted to him — a technique perfected under instruction, meant to be called upon the instant it was needed.
Worn as a pendant, this blessing translates into speed and agility: the ability to respond decisively to challenging, tricky situations in career, sales, or business before they have the chance to escalate — momentum enough to move fast when the moment calls for it, carried on the body rather than left on an altar. Carved beneath or alongside the Ruyi, the Somersault Cloud ensures the wish it names does not sit waiting. It moves with the wearer.
The Imperial Harvest Emblem
Every Ruyi Somersault Cloud Pendant is crowned with the Imperial Harvest emblem bail — the brand’s mark of consecrated authenticity, and the detail that activates both the Ruyi and the Somersault Cloud as a single working blessing rather than two separate carvings. At the core of the emblem sits the stylised character 鼎 (ding), referencing the ceremonial cauldrons central to imperial rites throughout Chinese dynastic history — the instruments through which emperors once communicated with Heaven and received the mandate to rule. The 鼎 is framed by an octagonal perimeter representing the Eight Trigrams (八卦), and encircled by a round edge embodying 天圆地方 — the harmonious balance between celestial and terrestrial forces present in every Imperial Harvest treasure.
The emblem is not a maker’s mark. It is the physical threshold through which the pendant’s consecrated energy — the named wish, and the speed that carries it — flows into the destined owner’s energy field, every time it is worn.
Available in Dark Earth Agarwood and Jadeite
The Ruyi Somersault Cloud Pendant is available in two materials, each activating the same wish-and-reach doctrine through a different celestial channel — Dark Earth Agarwood and fine jadeite.
Dark Earth Agarwood — Direct Wealth Capacity Activation (正财库)
The Imperial Harvest Dark Earth Agarwood is characterised by its deep, intense hues, developed over at least 800 years as the Aquilaria log ages in mineral-rich soil. This rare and valuable grade represents depth and richness — a material dense enough to hold the pendant’s wish without dissipating it, and resonant enough to transmit that wish outward once activated.
In Imperial Feng Shui, agarwood is designed to align with, and enhance the influence of, the Major Yang (太阳) — the celestial force that governs Direct Wealth Capacity (正财库), the income potential derived from regular sources such as career, business ventures, sales, and other consistent income streams. Carved with the Ruyi and Somersault Cloud, the Dark Earth Agarwood pendant becomes a catalyst for naming a specific income wish and closing the distance to it without delay — opening pathways to opportunity, and ensuring they are reached while they are still open.
Fine Jadeite — Major Yin (太阴) Across Five Elemental Colourways
In the Four Quadrants of Destiny — the diagnostic framework through which Grand Master David Goh reads every client’s Bazi chart — the Major Yin (太阴) is always addressed before anything else. Not because it is the most dramatic quadrant, but because it is the most foundational: the Major Yin governs whether the environment cooperates with effort, whether doors open when the destined owner is ready, and whether the right people appear at the right moment. When the Major Yin is aligned, everything that follows has a foundation to compound upon.
Fine jadeite is the material most closely associated with Major Yin. Its crystalline structure resonates at a frequency that aligns with the environmental cooperation the quadrant governs — the subtle field determining whether doors open or close, whether people help or obstruct. Carved with the Ruyi and Somersault Cloud, the jadeite pendant carries the doctrine of a named wish and the speed to reach it through this same foundational channel — ensuring the environment itself parts quickly, rather than slowly, for whatever the wearer has already decided to ask for.
The Fine Jadeite Ruyi Somersault Cloud Pendant is available across five elemental colourways:
- Lavender (Fire)
- Green (Wood)
- Black (Water)
- White (Metal)
- Yellow (Earth)
The elemental colour is not decorative; it is the second layer of Grand Master David Goh’s prescription, determining which element strengthens the destined owner’s chart to receive Sun Wukong’s blessing most effectively. The correct colourway is identified during a complimentary Bazi consultation, not self-selected.
Consecrated by Grand Master David Goh
No Imperial Harvest treasure carries a blessing through its carving alone. Every Ruyi Somersault Cloud Pendant is personally consecrated by Grand Master David Goh, using the same rites through which the wider Sun Wukong doctrine is activated. He hand-draws the pendant’s talismans, recites the prayers proper to naming and closing a wish, and anoints the piece with specially prepared red vermilion — the final act that transforms two carved instruments into a single, working blessing.
This consecration is also where the pendant’s specific prescription is set. Whether a client receives the piece in Dark Earth Agarwood or fine jadeite, and which of the five elemental colourways is correct for a jadeite pendant, is not a preference to be chosen off a shelf. It is determined during a complimentary Bazi consultation, where Grand Master David Goh reads the client’s chart and identifies the material channel — Direct Wealth Capacity or Major Yin — that their destiny is ready to receive.
Two Instruments, Carried Together
The Imperial Harvest Ruyi Somersault Cloud Pendant does not attempt to carry the full weight of Sun Wukong’s fourteen years of tribulation. It carries the two instruments from that story built specifically for the moment the tribulation ends and the wish is finally within reach: the Ruyi that names it precisely, and the Somersault Cloud that closes the distance to it without delay.
Worn together, the two do not compete — they complete a single motion. The wish is named. The distance is closed. What remains is arrival.
