Jade carving knife connecting craft

The following is some relevant knowledge involved in carving jade with a carving knife. In terms of carving techniques, there were several common techniques related to carving: - [Line carving: This is the most basic one.] The sculptor used a carving knife to show the pattern on the surface of the jade. However, this technique seemed to be basic, but it was not easy to master. To use extremely thin lines to perfectly present the pattern on the jade, to achieve richness and layering, it would take years of practice to grasp the essence. - [Thin carving: When carving with a carving knife, the depth is relatively shallow. Most of the lines are very shallow, just like drawing on paper with a pen.] This technique required the sculptor not only to understand calligraphy and seal carving, but also to understand the principles of painting. Only in this way could the jade be artistic. - [Concave carving (Yin carving): Using a carving knife to carve a downward concave pattern on a flat surface. This technique tests the proficiency of the carving craftsman in the carving knife technique, as well as the proficiency in the control of the lines and depth. It is a very testing skill.] From a historical point of view, jade carving had a long history, which could be traced back to the Stone Age. It had different characteristics in different dynasties. In the development of the carving process, the carving knife had always been an important tool. From the early simple jade products to the later complex and exquisite jade articles, the carving knife carving technology continued to develop. In terms of artistic value and evaluation, the value of a work carved with a carving knife could be evaluated in terms of meaning, creativity, color, finesse, strangeness, and so on. In terms of meaning, the content of the carving was required to have an auspicious and beautiful cultural heritage; the creativity was reflected in excavating the bright spots according to the characteristics of the material and avoiding the shortcomings; the beautiful color and clever carving were the intuitive standards for evaluation; the fine work involved the degree of craftsmanship and the handling of defects; the strangeness was aimed at the special aspects of the jade material itself and the artistic level after the craftsmanship. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

There were many forms of jade carvings. From the material point of view, there are ice jade, natural Xiuyan jade, Qinghai green material and so on. Among them, the ice jade box was made of high-quality jade. It was crystal clear and translucent. Although it was not big, it was small and exquisite. The design implied happiness and good fortune. The top half was skillfully colored, and the emerald green gradual change was carved into winding vines. There was a pair of quails on the vines, and there was a goldfish inside the box. They symbolized good luck, living and working in peace, having more than enough money every year, and being filled with gold and jade. Furthermore, the hollowed-out carving details were meticulous, carving a lifelike shape on a small jade material. The jade carvings made of green jade from Qinghai were like small praying mantises made of green jade. The jade was soft and delicate, bright and moist, well-proportioned, clean and refreshing. The overall perfection was high. After the new national standard of Hetian jade added the color of green jade, Qinghai green jade became the new favorite of players. Its green color fullness was balanced with the brightness of white jade, and it was a good material for beautiful carving. In terms of meaning, goldfish were homonyms for "gold and jade", so jade carvings with goldfish elements were often given the meaning of "gold and jade". There were also a variety of jade carvings related products on the market, with different prices, such as imitation purple mica-carved round pendant, natural Xiuyan jade stone, creative office decoration, goldfish jade pendant, etc. The novel " Gilded Palm " is equally exciting.

Nuwa's jade carving could be described from the following aspects: - [Design Concept: When carving Nuwa jade, one must follow the principle of "figure integration". According to the shape, color, texture, cracks, flaws, etc. of the jade raw material, a feasible process concept should be carried out.] For example, there was a piece of jade that was bright and smooth in color, and the top part of it was green. According to this feature, the picture of Nüwa mending the sky could be designed, emphasizing the green part to reflect the fearless spirit reflected by Nüwa mending the stone. - ** Production process **: - Drawing: Drawing on the jade is the first step. Draw the corresponding pattern on the jade according to the design concept. - Cutting and positioning (stabbing): Use a thallium-based piece to cut off the excess parts, so that the corresponding surface appears on the surface of the jade. This is the key process of jade carving production. From the raw material to the accurate appearance of the image, it mainly depends on this process. - ** Carving Details **: For example, when carving the jade carving of Nüwa, the lower left part of the initial idea was to carve the front and back of the dragon circling. In practice, it could be changed into waves, symbolizing Nüwa's brave and fearless spirit of leaping over the sea and standing between heaven and earth. Next was the fine blank (finding the fine) process, which used the hook to carefully engrave the fine details of the character's image, such as outlining the obvious creases such as the folds of Nuwa's skirt and hair, and then refining the engravings to make the bumps and joints complete and smooth. - ** Polishing and Grinding (Roughening)**: The surface of the semi-finished jade carving will be polished to be more delicate, and then the leather will be dipped in polishing powder to brighten it. - ** Cleaning **: After cleaning the jade, it can be shipped to achieve the effect of value for money.

Birds were a common carving element in jade carvings. Different kinds of birds had different meanings and cultural meanings. Magpies had many meanings in jade carvings. When they were together with plum blossoms, they meant happiness. When they were together with lotus flowers, they meant happiness. When they were alone, they meant happiness came from the sky. When two magpies were together, they meant double happiness. When they were together with a leopard, they meant good news. In ancient Chinese mythology, phoenixes were auspicious animals that could bring auspicious signs. They were also symbols of identity and status. Dragon and phoenix patterns were commonly seen on the utensils of emperors and empresses of various dynasties. Phoenix birds of different dynasties had different characteristics and meanings, and their patterns and patterns were constantly changing. As early as 7000 years ago, there were phoenix patterns in the Hemudu culture. Phoenix patterns were also printed on the artifacts unearthed from the Hongshan culture, Longshan culture, and Shijiahe culture sites or tombs. Although the Hongshan culture's jade owl was different from the phoenix in terms of appearance and meaning, it was also a spiritual object that was loved by the people at that time. The carving method was relatively simple. Generally, the general shape was carved directly and the feathers and patterns of the bird were added. The middle of the bird was pierced for hanging. Birds were worshipped as gods in the Longshan culture, but there were very few jade carvings in the shape of birds. Most of the jade carvings found so far were rough and nearly destroyed. Only the bird pattern Gui was more exquisite and was now stored in the Palace Museum in Taiwan. During this period, the bird patterns were mostly in the posture of flying upwards and spreading their wings. There were a lot of bird patterns in Liangzhu culture, including not only bird patterns, but also composite images of gods and beasts, and simplified god patterns. Bird patterns were exaggerated, and there were also round jade birds with wings spread out and flying upward. However, the overall workmanship was rough and the materials used were not superior. In the late Western Zhou Dynasty, eagle-shaped cultural relics made of jade were unearthed on Pingding Mountain. There was also a white jade line eagle unearthed in October 1986. They were all in the posture of spreading their wings and flying high. The white jade line eagle had brown spots on its head and body, and small holes in its mouth. Its appearance was vivid and reflected the culture of that time. On the basis of absorbing the realism of ancient flowers and birds, there were new changes in the composition and details of the jade carvings. On the basis of maintaining the integrity of the jade materials, techniques such as round carving, openwork, and embossed were used to break through the shortcomings of the traditional flowers and birds, which were simple in shape and single in technique. The layout paid attention to the overall shape and contrast, making the works more interesting and vivid. The commonly used bird theme included magpies, phoenixes, cranes, etc. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

The simple carving techniques of jade included the carving of Yin lines and Yang lines. Yin lines were carved on the surface of the jade material, which was a relatively simple technique in jade carving. The thick Yin lines on jade articles in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties and even earlier were often treated with the "one side slope"(also known as the inclined knife) technique. One side of the Yin line was vertical to the surface of the jade material, and the other side was a gentle slope. This Yin line had a shadow effect, which could enhance the three-dimensional effect of the pattern. It could also be densely arranged with many thin and short Yin lines to show the texture of hair. Yang lines were lines that protruded out, like the seal characters commonly seen on Yang characters (vermilion characters) jade seals. In addition, flat carving was relatively simple. It was carved on the surface of the jade. Bo Yi was also a relatively unique and relatively difficult carving technique, but it could be understood as a relatively simple carving technique derived from embossed. It was an extremely shallow embossed. The carving layer was thin and full of painting intent. It was even more "shallow" than shallow embossed. It combined calligraphy, seal carving, and painting into one. It was known for its emphasis on elegance, fine workmanship, and close to painting theory. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

The following are some common methods of repairing jade carvings: 1. [Bonding of fracture]: It is suitable for situations where the jade is broken, and it is not cost-effective to cut it into two, or it cannot be carved again. During the operation, the gem-specific glue was used to re-glue the fracture along the fracture. The fracture was required to be relatively complete and perfectly pieced together. 2. [Gold and Jade Embedding]: This is a traditional technique. When repairing jade, it can be used to connect the broken parts with gold and silver patterns. Not only could it help with piecing together, but it could also hide cracks. It could also give jade articles new patterns. It had a wide range of applications. For example, when jade and white jade bracelets were broken, a gold or silver hoop could be wrapped around the broken ring; for jade with cracks, gold or silver threads could be pressed into the cracks. 3. ** Divide into two (or one piece into multiple pieces)**: The designer will analyze the original shape of the jade according to the damage of the jade, and divide it on the basis of the original after ingenious conception. For example, the broken carving was divided into two or more independent or related small pieces, or the broken jade was divided into multiple independent small pieces through the design and carving of the restoration craftsman. This method could reduce the number of discarded items. The value of the repaired jade was sometimes not lower than the original, but it required a high level of design and innovation ability of the technician, and the workload was also large. 4. ** Re-repair **: Re-create with the premise of covering up and repairing the damage of the jade. The masters of art had many methods to remedy and repair, such as "removing the high to make up for the low","removing the fat to make up for the thin","making up for the bad with the bad","making up for the broken with the broken", etc. A simple re-repair could grind and polish the damaged jades at the edges and corners, but it might affect the proportion and coordination of the original shape. A complicated re-creation of the original work according to the damaged parts was required. This method required a lot of work and was difficult to create. However, if the creativity was unique, the overall effect might be the closest to the original work and the degree of restoration would be perfect. 5. [** Gaps Filled **: Used when the jade pendant is only missing a small piece.] Generally, synthetic resin mixed with chalk powder was applied to the missing parts and modified by sculpting. In order to make the color of the repaired part consistent with the color of the surrounding jade, it would first be ground into powder with the same color of raw materials (such as malachite, lapis lazuli, etc.), or mixed with the same color of raw materials in the filling before filling. 6. Mortise and Tenon Repair: Use the structure of mortise and tenon to repair the jade carving. Choose the appropriate materials and color to achieve a better repair effect. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Internal carving was a jade carving method that went deep into the jade material. It was to carry out embossed and round carving inside the jade. Internal carvings were made using this unique jade carving technique. For example, on some high-quality jade raw materials, craftsmen used internal carving techniques to create various shapes inside the jade, such as three-dimensional or embossed shapes of people, flowers, birds, and animals. Since the internal carving operation was carried out inside the jade, it required the craftsman to have superb skills and rich experience, and to have a deep understanding of the internal structure of the jade to ensure that the jade would not be damaged during the carving process. This kind of internal carving was more unique and artistic than the traditional works that were only carved on the surface of jade. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

The mechanical carving of jade was carried out using a specialized jade carving machine. Jade engraving machine was an industry classification of stone engraving machines. It was a new type of numerical control equipment, and its working principle was similar to that of a numerical control milling machine. It could be divided into flat jade engraving machines and three-dimensional jade engraving machines. Its working process is to first use the engraving programming software to convert the content to be carved into the standard G code that the engraving machine control software can recognize, and then make the three axes of the control machine automatically move in a continuous way, thus achieving automatic engraving. It can complete the Yin carving, Yang carving, line carving, embossed and other text or pattern effects on the jade, and is also suitable for jade, jewelry and mold processing. According to the control method, it could be divided into computer controlled jade engraving machine and panel controlled jade engraving machine. The price of computer controlled jade engraving machine was relatively cheap, and the stability of the panel controlled jade engraving machine was higher. According to the hardness and precision requirements of the customer, it could be divided into high and low configuration jade engraving machine. The finished product of mechanical carving of jade had the advantages of saving time and effort, high yield, low cost, and less error. However, the disadvantage was that the product lacked spirituality and couldn't be carved with beautiful colors. The outer shape was basically similar, and most of it was reflected by the technical parameters on the computer. It lacked characteristics. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
