Jade Cicada
In the treasure appraisal program, there had been cases of women carrying jade cicadas to appraise treasures. Jade cicadas had a special meaning in ancient culture. They were a type of burial jade and were usually placed in the mouth of the dead. This type of jade cicada was called "Jade Han". Judging from the material and artistic value, the jade cicada in the treasure appraisal program was identified as a treasure of the Han Dynasty. The carvings were lifelike and the patterns were realistic. It was a rare treasure at that time. Experts estimated it to be about 600,000 yuan. However, from a cultural point of view, due to its special use in ancient funerals, it was taboo to wear it on the body in the traditional concept. Although some people in modern society were not superstitious about these traditional sayings, it was necessary to understand the cultural implications behind the collection and wearing of ancient jade. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Bead-shaped Jade
There were many types of bead-shaped jade articles. The following were some common ones: 1. ** Bead **: It is the most classic model that reflects the quality of jade, is the most elegant and versatile, and has the most inheritance value. It was a basic style among Hetian jade bracelets. If the seed material was left behind during the production, the shape of the bead might be damaged. Among all kinds of jade bracelets, the round beads were usually the most beautiful. The jade cutting plate would prioritize the production of size beads according to the degree of perfection, so the cost of round beads was relatively high. 2. [Old type bead: Its shape is between a square and a round. It looks simpler to make than a round bead, but the requirements for raw materials are higher (the difference in length and width does not exceed 1mm).] The polishing method could retain more materials, increase the contact area with the wrist, and make it more comfortable to wear. It was more restrained and gentle than a bead, suitable for daily wear. 3. ** Bucket Pearl **: Also known as drum pearl. It is a cylindrical pearl shape that is longer than its width. It evolved from the jade. It has the characteristics of domineering and open and close. It is majestic and masculine. It requires a thicker wrist to wear, so it is more chosen by male jade friends. 4. ** Pancake Beads **: also known as abacus beads, or calculation plates. They are shaped like flat circles and are similar to small Ping An buttons. There are big and small, curved and right angles, single circle and multiple circles. The materials used are more flexible and are a more affordable choice. 5. [Melon Bead]: Also known as flower bead. A certain flower shape is carved on the bead. It increases the sense of variation and also has the elegant temperament of the bead. The carving is mainly divided into equal parts and symmetrical patterns. When playing, it has a clear sense of relaxation and can relieve mental tension. 6. ** Apple Pearl **: It is a combination of a cake pearl and a round pearl, and it is relatively closer to a round pearl. The old apple pearl had a concave design, and a horn hole would appear after wearing it for a long time. The modern apple pearl has less requirements for craftsmanship. The shape is casual, and the effect may be surprising. 7. ** Rice Pearl **: The shape is as long and thin as rice. Usually, it can produce a good visual effect with a bead. 8. [Shape-Following Beads: Made using the original direction of the materials, it is more natural and casual. It is mostly made of Hetian jade seeds. Accumulating a set of small seed materials is a unique existence. Wearing it has a unique flavor.] In the Qing Dynasty, jade bracelets reached their peak.

Jade Pattern Cicada
In the jade patterns, cicadas had many meanings. From a cultural point of view, cicadas had always been regarded as a symbol of purity, purity, and spirituality. It contained a kind of elegant sentiment and was the continuation of traditional culture. Since ancient times, it had been loved by people with elegant character. For example, Cao Zhi's "Ode to Cicada" and Luo Binwang's "Ode to Cicada" all reflected the noble and pure quality of cicadas. In terms of meaning, cicadas were homonyms for "winding", which meant "wrapping a hundred thousand cicadas around the waist"; jade cicadas hanging on the chest could pray for blessings and increase longevity, which was called "wearing cicadas"; dignitaries decorated jade cicadas on their crowns, which became a symbol of power and status, and were called "crowned cicadas"; cicadas "stayed far away from the sound, not because of the autumn wind", which became the manifestation of the lofty aspirations of scholars. Other than that, there was also the idea of shocking the world with a single brilliant feat and being as quiet as a cicada in winter. From the perspective of historical development, jade cicadas first appeared in the Neolith Age. They were often unearthed from tombs from the Shang Dynasty to the Warring States Period. At this time, most of them were hanging ornaments. The jade cicadas of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties were simple in shape and extensive in carving. In the Han Dynasty, jade cicadas were popular in the mouth of burial jade. The jade cicadas of the Northern and Southern Dynasties were still made in the Han Dynasty, but due to the war, the source of jade materials was difficult, and most of them were carved with chalk. After the Song Dynasty, it was mostly used as a baldric, but it had a shape but no spirit. In the Ming Dynasty, there were two types of jade cicadas, thin slices and round carvings. Most of them were made of pink sapphire. In the Qing Dynasty, there were round cicadas and sheet-shaped cicadas. The painting technique was used together with the archaic decorative patterns. The materials used were exquisite, and the decorative patterns were sparse and clear. In the late Qing Dynasty, the lines of jade cicadas often collapsed. The knife technique was weak, and the indents were thin and deep. Xiuyan jade was often burned into red or black archaic cicadas. In terms of craftsmanship, the famous "Han Eight Knife" craftsmanship originated from the Han Dynasty and was a new development on the basis of inheriting the jade carving techniques of the Warring States Period. The " eight strokes " of the " Eight Blades of Han Dynasty " was an approximate number. It referred to the jade carving's strong, powerful, and concise bladesmanship. With just a few strokes, the charm of the object could be fully expressed. Moreover, the use of the knife paid attention to the left and right symmetrical. On the back of the Eight Blades of Han Dynasty, the left and right grooves behind the knife formed the effect of the Chinese character " eight ". In the Han Dynasty, the main types of jade carvings that used the "Han Eight Knives" technique were jade cicadas, jade pigs, and jade Wengzhong. Jade cicadas perfectly interpreted this unique technique. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
