Exquisite Jade Artifacts of the Qin and Han Dynasties
The exquisite jade ware of the Qin and Han Dynasties had many characteristics. In terms of material, Hetian jade was a common material. Its texture was delicate and warm, and it felt comfortable to the touch. It was suitable for carving and polishing. In terms of craftsmanship, compared to the exquisitely carved jade carvings of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qin and Han jade carvings tended to be bold and unconstrained in artistic style. The hidden areas of Han jade were often carved with hair-thin Yin lines, which were strong and powerful to make up for the weakness of the three-dimensional sense. This technique had a profound impact on the jade of later generations. For example, the Jade Cicada Saber Technique of the Han Dynasty was simple, rough and powerful, and its blade was sharp. It was commonly known as the Eight Blades of the Han Dynasty. The head of the Jade Cicada had a flat head and a small round head. There was an elephant trunk on the top of the head, and a horizontal line on the abdomen to indicate the retreat of the cicada. The ends of the two wings were sharp, and the sharp edge pressed against the hand. The edges of the Jade Cicada were relatively thin on both sides. He had made great progress in modeling, polishing, and embedding. The hollowing technique was widely used, and the composition broke the symmetrical pattern. He successfully used the law of equilibrium to obtain a flexible effect and boldly applied the S-shaped structure. Judging from the meaning of the patterns, the jade articles of that time were most eye-catching in various forms of strange beasts. These strange beasts were endowed with supernatural characteristics and had a strong aura. In terms of color characteristics, there were roots (the surface of the ancient jade showed red, yellow and other fine threads. This type of ancient jade had a history of more than two thousand years), color (the surface of the ancient jade showed uneven colors such as green and black. This type of ancient jade was from the Qin and Han Dynasties), and so on. From a historical and cultural perspective, after Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he used Heshi Bi as the emperor's seal. Moreover, the embodiment of jade and royal power in the Qin and Han Dynasties was mainly reflected in the regulations on the official seal materials. In addition, Qin and Han jade also reflected the rich content of social customs at that time. For example, the Qin and Han Dynasty jade bottle with Kui phoenix pattern, white jade with brown spots, is the representative of exquisite jade of this period, now in the collection of the Palace Museum in Beijing. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Appreciating and evaluating jade articles can be done from the following aspects: * * 1. Material ** 1. * * Color **: The color of natural jade is natural, and the color distribution is even and natural. The color of dyed jade is gorgeous, regular, and floating on the surface. For example, all kinds of jade should have this natural color characteristic. 2. * * Hand feeling **: Due to the different density, the jade feels different. For example, Hetian jade had a high density, and it felt heavy and cold. Generally, natural jade felt like it was falling when held in the hand, while fake jade was often light and floating. 3. * * Internal structure **: Observing the internal structure of the jade with light, the internal structure of the natural jade is naturally orderly. For example, under the light or sunlight, the internal structure of natural jade looked comfortable, while artificial imitation jade may have obvious artificial traces and even bubbles inside. 4. * * Gravity **: Natural jade has a high density, which can be judged by measuring its gravity. For example, Hetian jade, jade, and other dense jade stones could feel their weight in his hand. * * 2. Styling ** 1. * * Overall styling **: The proportion of the styling should be balanced and harmonious. It should not appear stiff. It should pay attention to the overall beauty. 2.

Craftsmanship ** 1. * * Pattern **: Pattern is an important part of jade appreciation. It is a form of ancient art. Different periods had different characteristics of decorative patterns, and their complexity might contain the cultural thoughts of the time, which not only helped to determine the generation of jade articles, but also helped to understand the life, culture, and thoughts of the people at that time. Moreover, good jade articles had smooth lines, uniform thickness, and more charm. 2. * * Craftsmanship Difficulty **: For example, some jade carvings of the Han Dynasty have high requirements for artistry, craftsmanship, and material. They can be used as a reference to determine the value of jade. * * 4. Sound ** Hanging the jade with a rope, hanging it in the air and fixing it properly, and then gently knocking it with another jade stone, the sound of natural jade knocking out is clear (as the ancient saying goes, the sound is melodious), but the sound of fake jade knocking out is more muffled. He could also use the jade to knock on the jade to judge by the sound. * * 5.

For example, the Han Dynasty was the peak period of Chinese jade articles. Jade articles of this period were unique in terms of artistry and craftsmanship. 2. Jade ware is a high-level cultural carrier. It reflects ancient politics, etiquette, commerce, totems, religion, beliefs, and even life customs and aesthetic tastes. It carries rich cultural content. When appreciating and evaluating jade, one had to consider all the above aspects. One could not draw conclusions based on just one factor.

The Origin of Jade Artifacts
As for the origin of jade, the academic community speculated that it could be traced back to the late primitive society based on the records that came out later. For example, the Bamboo Book Annals and other documents mentioned that there were records of jade articles during the period of the Yellow Emperor, Shun, and Xia Yu, about 4200 years ago. At that time, the origin of jade seemed to be related to the Queen Mother of the West in the Kunlun Mountains in the West. There should be more jade origins in the Xia Yu era. However, archaeological excavation shows that the history of China people using jade is much earlier than recorded in the literature. As early as seven or eight thousand years ago, the primitive ancestors had created jade culture on both sides of the Liaohe River and Songhua River. Moreover, prehistoric jade articles were widely distributed and varied in texture. Before the Shang and Zhou Dynasties widely used Hetian jade in the Western Regions, they experienced an era of "jade and stone were not separated, and local materials were used". <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
