Emperor Qianlong and Suzhou Jade Sculpture
During the Qianlong period, the jade carvings in Suzhou were closely related to the Qianlong Emperor. From the aspect of recruiting jade craftsmen, the Qianlong Dynasty Office recruited 18 batches of jade craftsmen from Suzhou, nearly 40 people, of which 27 people knew the specific names. It could be seen that Qianlong attached great importance to Suzhou jade craftsmen. In terms of jade production tasks, the country was strong at that time and had abundant financial and material resources. The palace manufacturing office specially set up a jade carving workshop to make jade for Qianlong. Suzhou took on the main task of processing jade. Moreover, the jade ware work sent by Emperor Qianlong to Suzhou was sometimes not accompanied by a sample, which gave the craftsmen more room for creation. For example, in the thirty-eighth year of Emperor Qianlong, the materials for making jade bowls were sent to Suzhou. After the jade craftsmen took the materials to make the jade bowls, they used the remaining materials to carve out the painting of "Lady in the shade of Tong". Emperor Qianlong was very appreciative of this work. Suzhou jade carving had its unique advantages, such as the selection of materials, meticulous polishing, exquisite and novel shape, superb jade carving skills, exquisite jade pieces, smooth lines, etc. This might be one of the reasons why Emperor Qianlong loved Suzhou jade carving.

Jade Master Sculpture
Jade carving masters turned jade raw materials into exquisite works of art through exquisite skills. For example, Liang Wenbin created jade carvings in his studio on Jade Street in Pingzhou, Guangdong Province, while Ruan Jinhai, a jade carving master in Zhejiang Province who had been in the industry for 25 years, created works based on his own thinking. The value of his works depended on the material and carving skills. There was also Ge Hong, who was born in the 1970s and was a master of China jade carving. His works were mainly based on small mountains and antique pieces in Suzhou. He paid attention to the harmonious relationship between carving and texture, combining innate beauty with acquired decoration. After establishing Ge Hong Jade Carving Studio in 2003, he constantly sought breakthroughs between craftsmen and masters. He also won many awards, such as the Silver Award in the first "Zigang" Cup Jade Carving Exhibition in Suzhou in 2008. In 2008, he won the gold medal of the "China Arts Cup" in Shanghai. In addition, there were masters like Ruihu who created jade carvings with the theme of the Red Army's Long March, inheriting the spirit of the Long March through their works. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Jade Sculpture of Human and Dragon
Jade carvings of human and dragon mainly existed in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Their shapes could be divided into three categories: human as the main body, human and dragon equal, and dragon as the main body. In the human-dragon jade carvings, the human image was prominent, and the dragon was in a subordinate position. Among this type of jade carvings, the side profile of a person in a kneeling position was more common. The chest, abdomen, and limbs were either prominent or obscure jade dragons with tongues. In some jade carvings, the image of a person was very prominent, but the image of a dragon was obscure, and it was easy to be regarded as a simple jade person. There was also a dragon-shaped jade ornament unearthed from Tomb 31 of the Marquis of Jin's tomb. It was a jade figure placed at the front of the dragon, and the image of a human pulling the dragon. The jade figure unearthed from Tomb 8 of the Marquis of Jin's tomb stood up. It had a round face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a wide nose, and a flat mouth. Most of its image and clothing were highly realistic, but the hair ornament was made of three jade dragons. The hanging hands were also carved into the shape of a dragon. The jade ornament with dragon and phoenix patterns unearthed from Tomb No. 157 of Zhang Jiapo in Chang 'an was the most elaborate and gorgeous structure and decoration seen so far. It was composed of two human heads, three dragons and one phoenix. The shape was divided into upper, middle and lower layers. The upper layer had two human heads, one big and one small, and a dragon head with a tongue. The middle layer was a horizontal curved tail dragon, and the lower layer was a dragon and phoenix with opposite heads. For example, the human-dragon carved jade pendant unearthed from the tomb of Liang Ji in the Guo State Tomb of Sanmenxia was similar in size and position to the dragon. The jade ornaments carved with dragons as the main body showed the image of the dragon head. The human head was either sandwiched between two dragon heads or on the tip of the jade dragon's tongue. The human head was often smaller than the dragon head. Such jade sculptures could be seen in the tombs of Jin Marquis and Guo State. The significance of the Western Zhou Dynasty's human-dragon jade carving could be referred to Professor Zhang Guangzhi's research on the "human-beast motive" in ancient China art. It was that humans were the image of wizards, and beasts were magical animals that helped wizards communicate with heaven and earth. The integration of humans and beasts represented their close and mutually dependent relationship. At present, the jade carvings of the Western Zhou Dynasty were mainly works of the middle and late Western Zhou Dynasty. They could be found in Qiangjia Village, Wugong Huangjiahe, Chang 'an Zhangjiapo, Xinzheng County, Henan Province, Sanmenxia Guo State Cemetery, Quwo County, Shanxi Province, and other places. The patterns were all double-hook and single-shadow lines, and the common use of openwork techniques was varied. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Puppet Emperor Qianlong
This statement was not accurate. Although Qianlong was the emperor for three years after his abdication, he was not a puppet emperor. After Qianlong reigned for 60 years, he abdicated the throne to Emperor Jiaqing. However, at the abdication ceremony, he was unwilling to hand over the imperial seal at first. Later, although he handed it over, he took out the seal of the "Treasure of the Supreme Emperor", indicating that he would still control the state affairs. He Shen was Qianlong's favorite minister. After Qianlong abdicated, he still brought memorials to the Yangxin Hall every day to report to Qianlong. After Qianlong made a decision, He Shen conveyed it to the court, which made the actual power of Emperor Jiaqing empty in the early days. In addition, the White Lotus Society uprising broke out during the Jiaqing period. Qianlong continued to control the military and political power on the grounds that Jiaqing needed to learn how to govern the country under his guidance. It could be seen that Qianlong still had great power after his abdication and was not a puppet emperor.

How powerful is Qianlong Dragon Jade?
In Asada Jiro's novel,'The Sky's Roar', the dragon jade was described as the treasure of the Qianlong Emperor. There were two types of dragon jade. One was the Imperial Jade Seal, and the other was an extremely rare large diamond. However, from the actual situation, the imperial jade seal had long been lost. In the Qianlong era, diamonds were not first-class treasures in the palace, and the upper class did not pay much attention to them. The so-called dragon jade was more of a fictional concept by writers. In reality, there was no truly powerful Qianlong dragon jade. This might be the author's use of metaphor to express a kind of courage to forge ahead and constantly reform the fighting spirit. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Model and specifications of Qianlong jade ware
There were many types of jade articles in the Qianlong period, including but not limited to the following types and their common specifications: ** 1. Jade Mountain Subclass ** - For example, the Qing Emperor Qianlong's Sapphire Luohan Mountain was 19.1 centimeters tall and 13.1 centimeters wide. There was no fixed standard pattern for the size of this kind of jade. Its size mainly depended on the carving theme and the requirements of artistic expression. It was usually carved according to the original size and shape of the jade material. ** 2. Archaic Artifacts ** - Antique jade ware mostly imitated the shape of ancient bronze ware, such as tripod, furnace, zun, gui, gong, you, bottle, Gu, pot, jue, etc. Its specifications were also adjusted according to the prototype of the imitation bronze and the jade material itself. There was no fixed specifications. For example, the specific size of the Topaz Beast-faced Cover Zun in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty was not mentioned, but the shape of this kind of Zun had a certain model in traditional bronze ware. When it was copied into jade ware, it would follow the traditional model in proportion and general shape, but it would change in details and overall size according to the characteristics of the jade. ** 3. Thin tube utensils ** - For example, some of the thin-bodied utensils that were influenced by the "Hendustan" jade, such as jade plates, jade bowls, jade boxes, etc., also did not have strict specifications. The jade plates, bowls, and boxes made in the Hendustan area were mostly made by grinding the matrix very thin. After the introduction of this technique during the Qianlong period, the size and shape of the thin-matrix utensils made would vary according to the actual use (such as food utensils or study supplies, etc.) and the situation of the jade raw materials. For example, the double-handle lid bowl of the Qing Emperor Qianlong in the National Palace Museum in Taiwan had a diameter of 12.9 centimeters. This size was determined by its function as a tea bowl and its artistic aesthetics. ** 4. Others ** - There were also many jade articles of different shapes, such as the Qing Emperor Qianlong's Jade Pisces Wash, the Qing Emperor Qianlong's Imperial Poem Akiyama Mangroves Jade Mountain, the Qing Emperor Qianlong's Imperial Stream Bridge Staff Jade Mountain, the Qing Emperor Qianlong's Beast Face Pattern Jade Square Gu, the Qing Emperor Qianlong's Jade Elephant Ear Square Pot, the Qing Emperor Qianlong's Jade Three Phoenix Zun, the Qing Emperor Qianlong's Jade Nian Yu, the Qing Emperor Qianlong's Jade Carved Hornless Dragon Pattern Square Zun, the Qing Emperor Qianlong Antique Jade Gong, etc. Their specifications were based on their respective functions.(For example, as ornaments, playthings, study tools, etc.), artistic conception, and the status of raw materials, there was no unified model system. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
