Jade ware in the Kangxi period
The jade wares of the Kangxi period had unique characteristics and backgrounds. In terms of cultural theme, such as the sapphire phoenix handle pot, it reflected the traditional phoenix culture of ancient China, reflecting the worship and praise of the phoenix at that time. Judging from the craftsmanship and material selection, there was a lack of jade materials at that time, but Kangxi treasured the jade of his predecessors very much. For example, Lu Zigang's Zigang Jade Plate was famous for its exquisite carving skills. Kangxi admired it very much. The jade workshop in the Ming Palace focused on copying it, and this imitation even continued until the Qianlong Dynasty. Lu Zigang was good at a variety of jade carving techniques, such as round carving, carving, shadow carving, inlaid with gold and silver thread, inlaid with gems, etc. His original "Kunwu Knife" technique was unique, which was obviously different from the traditional jade-cutting techniques in the aspects of entering and exiting the knife, carving lines, and carving the knife surface. In terms of the use and collection of jade articles, there were many fine jade articles in the palace, even though it was a period of frequent wars and the people were in dire straits. The jade industry was depressed and the output was low. In addition, there were some jade articles of special significance during the Kangxi period, such as the "Crown Prince Treasure" made of Balin stone, which was the embodiment of Prince Aisin Gioro Yinreng's identity. In terms of collectible value, if the authentic jade of the Kangxi period was preserved and of high quality, the price might exceed ten thousand. For example, the Kangxi authentic cover jar (although missing a cover) was considered to be worth more than ten thousand. Read more exciting novels for free

Jade and jade ware
Jade Bi was a kind of flat round jade with a hole in the center. It was one of the traditional jade ritual vessels in China and also one of the six auspicious signs. The ratio of "flesh"(the side outside the hole) to "good"(the middle hole) was about 2:1, which meant that the diameter of the hole was about half of the outer ring of the jade wall. The jade wall was round like the sky, with a hole connected to the spirit. It was often used for "offering sacrifices to heaven". In ancient times, it was a very important ceremonial item. It played an important role in the promotion of officials, important occasions, and ceremonial activities. It represented power and status, and usually only emperors and nobles could have it. From the perspective of historical development, the earliest jade could be traced back to the Neoliths period about 5,000 to 6,000 years ago in China. The Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty was the heyday of jade. Whether it was in terms of shape or decoration, it could be said to be a historical period of great success. The level of jade craftsmanship also reached a new peak, and the number was also the highest in history. From the perspective of shape, the Warring States jade wall could be roughly divided into three types and seven styles: the basic shape was round, and according to the different patterns, it could be extended to three forms: plain wall, the whole wall surface carving pattern regardless of the area, and the wall surface carving pattern according to the area. There were also extended and developed shapes to make the outline wall (on the basis of the round wall, the outer edge of the wall was carved with auxiliary decorations) and the double ring wall (on the basis of the round wall, a small concentric circle wall was carved in the hole). The jade pieces that were popular in different dynasties had different patterns. It was mentioned in the Rites of the Zhou Dynasty that jade could be used for offering sacrifices to heaven and also used as a burial offering. For example, in past archaeological excavation, some of the unearthed jade were laid on the body of the tomb owner, and some were sewn on the clothes of the tomb owner. It might have the meaning of guiding the dead souls through the Yin and Yang worlds to the Heavenly Court. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Bargaining for jade ware
There were many techniques to haggle in the sale of jade: - ** Understand relevant knowledge and market prices **: - Learn as much as possible about jade, including its appearance, color, and clarity, so that you can better evaluate the value of jade and propose a reasonable price. - Pay attention to the jade market and understand the latest price changes. If the market is oversupplied, there is more room for bargaining; if the supply exceeds the demand, a higher price may be accepted. - ** negotiation skills **: - Multiple rounds of inquiry: You can mix the materials with high prices and low prices (including your target jade) and discuss them together. You can see the discounts given by the merchants. This way, you can have more initiative. - Don't show off your wealth: avoid letting the merchants think that you can raise the price. - [Diversion: Divert the merchant's attention so that he doesn't notice the strong desire for the target jade.] - Keep the bottom line: Clear the highest price you can accept and not be easily persuaded by the merchants to raise the budget. - [Careful observation: If you carefully examine the jade, you may find some factors that affect the price so that you can bargain.] - Don't be shy: be decisive when expressing your willingness to buy and when bargaining. - Decisive decision: When the price reaches your psychological expectations, you must make a decisive decision to buy. - <<Reasonably communicate>: Maintain calmness and rationality, emphasize your own needs and give a reasonable reason not to buy in a timely manner, increasing the possibility of success in bargaining.> - First-round quote: Don't offer a discount or even a 30% discount in the first round. This may cause the jade merchant to change the bidding strategy. You should compare the rough evaluation of the jade's value with the merchant's offer and negotiate reasonably. - Bargaining in moderation: Give the merchant a certain margin of profit, especially if you want to buy again. Don't bargain too hard the first time. However, it was also important to note that some situations might not be suitable for bargaining, such as encountering a seller with a fixed price, or a rare and precious jade whose value had been widely recognized. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Xingyue jade ware
The Star Moon Jade ware has many aspects to it. The following is a detailed introduction. First of all, the Star Moon Bodhi had the elegance of natural jade. The Star Moon Bodhi was the fruit of a precious tree species in South Asia. The yellow Star Moon Bodhi was warm and lustrous like chicken oil. It was hard and tough, and had a natural pearl-like three-dimensional feeling. The patterns were rich and delicate, and it could be used to make a variety of jewelry and crafts in various shapes. Furthermore, there was in-depth research on the characteristics, identification methods, and market value of Star Moon Jade. Its color was often light blue, light yellow, and gray, which was different from the White Star Moon Bodhi in color. The White Star Moon Bodhi was mainly white, sometimes with light yellow, light gray, or light pink spots. In addition, there were different situations in the market for Star Moon Bodhi Stone. There were raw jade stones and problematic seeds, such as immature seeds or mixed tree seeds that had been soaked in medicine. It was a normal phenomenon for Star Moon Bodhi to become solid. From the perspective of cell biology, it was a cell disease. In the middle stage, most of the Star Moon would become solid, especially in the south where the humidity and temperature were higher. In the later stage, it would appear moist and yellow, and the seeds that did not reach the maturity level might always pursue the sense of penetration or have problems such as large color difference and no color change in the later stage. In the end, the ultimate dream of playing Star Moon was to achieve the effect of a bronze gold base with ice flower broken patterns. At the same time, the Star Moon Bodhi and jade materials in the market needed to pay attention to the identification of real and fake Star Moon Jade, as well as how to obtain better value in the market. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
