Carved on the jade
The carvings on the jade had many techniques and rich content. ** 1. Carving Techniques ** 1. ** Thread carving ** - This was a relatively basic carving technique. It was to use lines on the surface of the jade to express the pattern. If one wanted to use extremely fine lines to present the patterns on the jade in a rich and layered manner, it would require a long period of practice. It would be difficult to master the essence without eight to ten years. 2. ** Insignificant Eagle ** - The carving wasn't very deep. It was all very shallow lines, just like drawing on paper with a pen. The carving was so exquisite that it was almost like a fake painting. To master this technique, not only did one have to understand calligraphy and seal carving, but one also had to understand the principles of painting in order to express an artistic sense on the jade. 3. ** Round Eagle ** - It was a transition from two-dimensional carving to three-dimensional carving. Although it was called three-dimensional carving, it could represent the front and side of an object from different angles. It could also distinguish the distinctive features of the main body, lines, and shapes, but it had not reached the level of true three-dimensional carving. 4. ** embossed ** - It was a three-dimensional carving method relative to a flat surface, which was equivalent to having multiple round sculptures on the same flat surface. The relief embossed were divided into high embossed and low relief embossed. They could represent a single level or multiple levels, and the subject matter they represented was rich and complicated. 5. ** Inner carving ** - It was a complicated carving technique in the jade carving world. It required one to go deep into the jade material and carve a round carving, embossed carving, and other carving techniques inside the jade material. One could even carve several layers of scenery on a piece of jade material. The lines had to be exquisite, fine, vivid, and flexible. 6. ** Concave Sculpture (Yin Sculpture)** - It was the exact opposite of embossed. It was to carve a pattern that was sunken downwards on a flat surface. It tested the proficiency of the sculptor's mastery of the technique, as well as the degree of mastery of the lines and depth. 7. ** Pretty Eagle ** - When raw materials such as jade had a special color, the sculptor would use the color, skin color, texture, and even flaws of the jade to create a creative work through careful design and clever use. This tested the sculptor's artistic appeal and the ability to combine the material and carving techniques. 8. ** Hollow Sculpture (Open Sculpture)** - It was the most complicated and difficult carving technique in the world of carving. Carving was not limited to the surface of the jade, but to penetrate deep into the jade and carve out a connected space. This not only tested one's understanding of carving, but it also tested one's profound control. ** 2. Carving content ** 1. ** Themed ** - From traditional characters (such as Maitreya Buddha), utensils, birds and animals, flowers and other large works, to pins, rings, seals, ornaments and other small works. 2. ** Meaning ** - It followed the principle of "jade must have workmanship, jade must have intention, and intention must be auspicious". For example, the meaning of Ruyi was "everything goes as you wish". When evaluating jade carvings, whether the meaning expressed by the content of the carving had cultural heritage and good wishes were important considerations. Read more exciting novels for free
Hand-carved Jade
Hand-carved jade was a traditional way of making jade, which involved many carving techniques. The line carving was to use lines to express patterns on the surface of the jade. It usually took eight to ten years to master the essence of the line carving, and it took many years of practice to use extremely thin lines to express rich and layered patterns. Thin carving was a shallow carving on jade, just like drawing on paper with a pen. It required the sculptor to understand calligraphy, seal carving knowledge, and painting principles to express a sense of art. The round carving was a transition from two-dimensional carving to three-dimensional carving. It could represent different sides of an object, but it had not yet reached the level of true three-dimensional carving. The embossed was derived from the round sculpture. It was a three-dimensional sculpture on a flat surface. It was divided into high embossed and low embossed. It could express a rich theme of single or multiple levels. The internal carving process was complicated. It required the carving of round carvings, embossed, etc. deep inside the jade material. It could even carve multiple layers of scenery on a piece of jade material. The lines needed to be exquisite, fine, vivid, and flexible. Intagliating was to carve a pattern that was sunken downwards on a flat surface. It tested the sculptor's proficiency in the technique and the grasp of the lines and depth. The pretty color carving used the special color, skin color, texture, and even flaws of the jade raw materials to carefully design and create. Hollow carving was the most complicated and difficult. It had to go deep into the jade and carve out a connected space. These hand-carved jade techniques reflected the exquisite skills and creativity of the jade carving artists. The application of different techniques depended on the theme of the carving, the characteristics of the jade, and the artistic effect that the artist wanted to express. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Jade Carved Fish Lotus
The meaning of the combination of fish and lotus in the jade carving mainly came from the homophonic method. Fish was a homonym for "Yu", and lotus was a homonym for "Lian". The two together meant "Lian (Lian) Nian Yu (Fish)", which expressed the China people's desire and sustenance for a better life. It was a wish for a rich life and a happy family. For example, it was popular to eat fish every year during the Spring Festival to ask for "Nian Nian Yu" and "Lian Nian Yu". From the perspective of cultural symbolism, fish was regarded as a symbol of favorable timing and geographical location in the eyes of the Chinese people because of its speed of movement. It was also a symbol of happiness and human yearning for a peaceful life. Lotus had a noble and elegant meaning and was regarded as a holy flower in Buddhism.

He started with insect carving, and then spent five years to develop the jade hollowed-out fine carving technique and succeeded. The hollowed-out fine carving technique with a wall thickness of only 0.1 mm was very difficult. In addition, there were all kinds of carved jade on the market, such as Kwan-yin pendants made of Hetian jade, Xiuyan jade, Guan Yu pendants, jade, jade cabbage, etc. Some of these carved jade were high-end collectibles, while others were more intimate to the people and became popular accessories or ornaments.

Exquisite carved jade ware
Most of the jade making techniques in China were passed down from master to disciple, and were rarely recorded in the early days. Cutting, grinding, chiseling, and grinding were the basic technological processes used in jadeite tools. Cutting, that is, cutting materials, requires a toothless saw and jade sand to separate the jade materials; Polishing, is to use a circular saw dipped in mortar to repair the jade materials; Polishing, is to use tools such as drills and awls to carve patterns and drill holes; Grind, as the last process, uses fine wood chips, gourd skin, cowhide dipped in pearl mortar to polish, so that the jade articles emit a cream-like luster. This set of techniques had been mastered by craftsmen in the Shang Dynasty, and these four methods are generally used today. In the Pre-Qin Dynasty, it was called cutting jade, in the Song Dynasty, it was called grinding jade, and now it is called grinding. Jade carvings of different dynasties had their own characteristics. For example, in the Shang Dynasty, there were more straight lines and fewer curved lines, more thick lines and fewer thin lines, more yin lines and fewer yang lines, and the holes were big on the outside and small on the inside to form a "horseshoe eye". There was also the technological achievement of "double hook line". In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the craftsmanship was more exquisite than before. The lines were mostly curved and paid attention to the layout of the patterns. The lines became more complicated. The yin lines began to connect with each other, and one side of the yin lines was ground into a slope with slanted knife marks. During the Neoliths, due to the limitation of production tools, the workmanship of artifacts was limited, such as uneven thickness, irregular shape, not sharp enough blade, conical drilling, etc. The jade carvings of the Hongshan culture pursued charm. The surface of the jade was smooth, the edges were natural, and the grinding technique was exquisite. The edges of the sheet-like objects were relatively thin. The straight lines of the Liangzhu culture jade carvings were composed of straight lines, and the thin lines were connected by short and thin lines. This could be used as the basis for identification. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Archaic carved jade ware

Craftsmanship ** 1. ** Material Selection ** - Some people who made antique jade would look for old materials to make them. The old materials themselves were familiar and had the visual effect of internal aging and qualitative changes. 2. ** Carving Technique ** - They would imitate the traditional style of the collection, such as making traditional antique jade articles such as jade pig dragons and valley patterns. - First, he used a machine to carry out the initial carving, and then he finished it by hand. He even made a self-made counter-rotating chisel to process. There were also people who used the jade sand from the river or the sandstones they picked up as tools to imitate the traditional craftsmanship. - In terms of the carving techniques of antique jade, it might involve a variety of traditional ancient jade carving techniques. - ** Line engraving **: This includes Yin lines (concave lines, such as single Yin lines and double Yin lines) and Yang lines (protruding lines, which are more difficult to make. You need to first carve two parallel Yin lines and then push and grind to make the middle line protruding). - ** Tipping and Rolling (Pushing and Rolling) Craftsmanship **: For example, the single removal craft (such as the special craft of the jade in the tomb of Marquis Yi of the Warring States Period in Hubei Province, gradually removing the jade material along the specific bright line to form a special pattern), the inclined knife craft (the Yin line groove carving craft that appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty with one side steep and one side gentle and wide), the tile groove craft (wide and shallow groove, commonly seen in the jade ware of Hongshan culture), etc. - "embossed" were divided into low embossed (lower decorative patterns, which existed in the Neoliths) and high embossed (higher decorative patterns, which appeared in jade articles after the Tang Dynasty). - "Engraving": This included openwork (carving to the bottom) and engraving (strong three-dimensional effect). The rough openwork had existed since the Neolith Age, and there were also multi-layered engraving. - ** Special Craftsmanship **: For example, gossamer carving (extremely fine engraved lines), Han eight knives (belonging to the inclined grinding process, deep and steep curved slopes appear in pairs, the middle of the line is thick and the two ends are sharp, used for making jade cicadas), gold embedding (gold inlaid in the lines of engraved lines), and inlaid with treasures (inlaid with colored gemstones and jade on jade). These techniques may also be applied to the production of antique jade. ** 2. Market situation ** 1. ** Market demand and price level ** - The market demand for antique jade was due to the continuous influx of newcomers into the ancient jade industry, who lacked the ability to distinguish. Judging from the price and quality, the market for antique jade was graded. - For people who had just entered the ancient jade circle, who lacked eyesight and funds, they might buy antique jade articles that cost tens to hundreds of yuan. Most of these street goods were casually carved from garbage materials. - As the players 'vision improved, there would be some so-called high-quality imitation ancient jade. The production cost of these high-quality imitation ancient jade was relatively high because it used old materials and the production process was complicated. However, since it did not need to be exactly the same as the real thing (90% of it could fool many players), and in the economic environment, it was more profitable to have small profits and high turnover, so there was a certain market for it. 2. ** Identification with the real thing ** - Although the craftsmanship of antique jade was constantly improving, there was still a fundamental difference between the real thing and the imitation. For example, the film produced by the aging of the authentic ancient jade, the heavy light gas and sand marks on the orange peel, and the substances attached to the glass (such as aluminum dioxide) were difficult to completely imitate. ** 3. Points of Appreciation ** 1. ** Craftsmanship Details ** - Observe the degree of refinement of the carving process, such as the smoothness of the lines, the three-dimensional sense of the decorative patterns, etc., to see if they conform to the characteristics of the corresponding historical period. 2. ** Material texture ** - For the antique jade ware that claimed to be made of old materials, it was necessary to carefully distinguish whether the texture of the old materials was natural and whether there were traces of artificial forgery. 3. ** Overall Style ** - He wanted to see if the overall style was consistent with the style of the jade from the historical period, including the shape, decorative layout, and so on. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
