Fine blue and white jade ware
Fine blue-and-white jade had the following characteristics: 1. ** Jade Quality ** - The texture was delicate and oily. If it was used as a seed material, the texture would be even warmer. For example, the blue and white seed material had a delicate texture, with skin color and pores. The ink color was mainly distributed in the shape of clouds and mist, and the black color was more concentrated or naturally scattered. The ink color was stable and pure. The ink color of the mountain material was distributed in a dot-like manner. It looked like a block as a whole, and there was a so-called silver sand material mixed in it. The material was slightly thicker and had poor oiliness. It looked dry. - According to the distribution of the lead, the quality of the blue and white flowers made of gathered ink and all ink was relatively higher. Pointing ink was the visual black spots scattered on white or bluish-white jade, which was of poor quality; Gathering ink was the black concentrated together into lumps or blocks; The whole piece of black was full ink, but the full ink would have a white background. Gathering ink and full ink were the easiest to produce the artistic conception of ink painting. 2. ** Color ** - Black and white were clearly distinguished, and the high-grade required " white as Xuan paper, black as ink." In the traditional sense, blue and white jade was white, bluish white, grayish-white, or cyan jade mixed with black spots formed by cloud-shaped, star-shaped, or banded graphene. - It was easy to confuse it with Qinghai's blue and white flower. Qinghai's blue and white flower gave people a feeling of being frozen. There were almost no ink spots. The ink was melted into the jade, and some could show a purple halo. However, the black and white could be distinguished according to the white jade. 3. ** Craftsmanship ** - It could be carved in many forms, whether it was a large ornament or a small one. If he used exquisite craftsmanship, such as Suzhou craftsmanship, he could increase its value. In terms of design, it could be carved according to the distribution of black and white. For example, the white jade could be designed as a flowing water, and the black jade could be designed as a mountain peak welcoming pine, creating a very good artistic conception. 4. ** Value * - It was a mid-grade Hetian jade, but if the quality, artistic conception, and craftsmanship were high, it had a high appreciation potential.

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>

The expression "reliable jade" is not very clear. If you want to know how to determine whether a jade is reliable (that is, to identify jade), the following methods can be used as a reference: - [Hardness test: You can use common items such as keys to scratch the jade.] For example, marble had a low hardness and was easily scratched, while jade with a high hardness like Hetian jade was not easily scratched. - [Touch: When real jade is touched, there will be a feeling of oil being pushed away. At the same time, there will be a slight resistance and a warm feeling.] However, the stone hand was very dry when pushed, and there was no such warmth. Moreover, the density of high-grade jade was not bad. It had a certain weight in his hand. For example, Hetian jade seeds would feel a little heavy when held, while ordinary stones would feel a little floating. - Light up the lamp to observe: Natural jade will show a natural structure when it is lit up, looking very comfortable. On the other hand, man-made jade stones either had no structure or had bubbles.

The museum in the United States and Britain, as well as the ancient jade collectors in Hong Kong and Taiwan, prefer to collect ancient jade articles from the Han Dynasty and above.

Ancient China craftsmen explored a wide range of traditional furniture materials. In addition to wood, they also tried bronze, jade, and other materials. Jade ware was made from natural jade. China had jade ware as early as 8,000 years ago and it had been around since then. From the perspective of cultural value, the old-style furniture (mainly made from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty) had the value of cultural relics and was expensive. China mahogany classical furniture had three major schools: Guangzuo, Jingzuo, and Suzuo. Jade was a unique artifact in ancient China civilization. It had been the highest standard of artifacts since prehistoric times. It was mainly used as ritual vessels and accessories, such as the jade wall used to worship heaven, the jade cong used to worship the ground, and the Gui, Zhang, Hu, Huang used to worship the four directions. In modern life, furniture and jade also had different business and consumption scenarios.

Gui Bi was a type of jade. In ancient times, it was held by emperors and vassals when they went to court or offered sacrifices. For example, the Rites of Zhou·Chunguan·Dian Rui records that "the Duke holds Huan Gui... to meet the king in pilgrimage";"Rites of Zhou·Kao Gong Ji·Yu Ren" records that "Gui Bi is five inches long to worship the sun, moon and stars", which is now interpreted as "Gui with Bi as the base, Gui is five inches long and six inches long". In the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Emperor Ming's Chronicle, it was also mentioned that "one should hold the jade and worship heaven and earth." From the point of view of craftsmanship, such as a Hetian jade seed material in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, it was 8 in length, 0.8 in width, 12.6 cm in height, and 95.8 grams in weight. The whole body was carved in one go, and there were brownish-yellow patterns in some parts. The jade and jade were combined by round carving and shallow embossed techniques.

The body of the jade was full of antique nail patterns. The grains were full and neatly arranged. The jade and the jade overlapped up and down. the bottom bears the sea water, the river's cliff markings. In the Han Dynasty, due to the popular concept of " serving the dead as if they were alive, and serving the dead as if they were alive ", it seemed to have become a common practice to put a combination of Gui and Bi in sacrifices and funerals. After the death of a duke or noble, the monarch sent an emissary to present Bi and Gui. In the " cultural memory " texts of the Chinese civilization, there were also cases where animals were sacrificed to match jade ritual vessels such as Gui Bi.
