If you want to process antique jade, the following are some aspects to pay attention to: ** 1. Imitation of appearance and decoration ** 1. ** Song Dynasty Antique Jade ** - During the Song Dynasty, the economy was prosperous, and the trend of collecting rose. The shape of the antique jade was closer to the jade of the Han Dynasty. The decorative patterns were slightly more mature than those of the previous dynasties, and the style was soft and smooth. For example, in the Southern Song Dynasty, there were many imitations of the Han Dynasty jade wall, because jade wall was a symbol of the royal family and status in the Han Dynasty. Moreover, due to the change of dynasties and tomb robbing, there were many jade walls passed down to the world. 2. ** Ming Dynasty Antique Jade ** - The imitation ancient jade of the Ming Dynasty was rough and hard, not exquisite enough. The shape and style of the imitated utensils were obviously different from the ancient jade, and the style was also different. 3. ** Qing Dynasty Antique Jade ** - Most of the jade imitations from the Qing Dynasty belonged to the Shang Dynasty or before. The antique jade had many similarities with ancient jade in terms of shape, pattern, decoration, and style, but it was more exquisite in details. For example, many Qing Dynasty jade articles were engraved with Qianlong's poems, which could be used to judge that they were imitation jade articles from the Shang Dynasty. 4. ** Antique jade from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China ** - During this period, the situation in China was unstable, and the antique market was chaotic. A large number of antique jades appeared, and the imitation technology was very high. However, many of them were forged from low-quality jade and sold at a high price. ** 2. Old and colored ** 1. ** Color ** - The jade ware could be cooked with rainbow grass juice, soy sauce, black vinegar, etc. to turn it red, sauce, and black. 2. ** Oil extraction method ** - Old extract oil: Legend has it that the rainbow grass in the mountains of Gansu was pounded into juice, mixed with a little Sal Almiphoria and stirred evenly. After soaking the new jade, it was baked with fresh bamboo branches. The grass juice seeped into the jade texture and appeared chicken blood red. - New extracted oil: suitable for stone jade with more stones and poor quality. Red wood chips or black wood chips were selected and put into water. After soaking the stone jade, it was baked with fire. The juice was immersed in the jade texture, and the stone part appeared red or black. 3. ** Other ways to make old things ** - Ash extraction method: Use chestnut charcoal ash and silver saltpeter to boil the jade. The surface of the jade will produce white fog or tiny pores, similar to the ancient jade that has just been unearthed for thousands of years. It could also be mixed with jade and iron filings to make it rust into an orange color. - Fake limestone (imitation of "chicken bone white"): The jade was baked with fire to make it white, similar to lime. However, the jade made by this method had fire cracks, but the real ancient jade did not. - Sheep Jade: A small piece of jade was stuffed into the wound on the leg of a live cow or a live sheep. After sewing it up, the blood soaked into the jade for several years, pretending to be the red silk in ancient jade. However, this kind of jade did not have the warmth of ancient jade and appeared dry and astringent. - Dog Jade: Kill the dog, cut open its abdomen, put the dog's blood into the jade and sew it up. After burying it in the ground for several years, take it out. There will be blood spots on the jade, but compared with real jade, it has the color of new jade and carving marks. - Plum jade: Choose loose jade, such as jade or jade skin with heavy stone nature, and cook it many times with thick dark plum water to make it appear water soaking marks. Then use the oil extraction method to color it to imitate the waterhole ancient, but it is not as natural as the real ancient jade. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Antique theme jade was a common type of modern jade production. From the point of view of the purpose of production, one could not simply regard all antique jade articles as fakes. Many of the modern antique style jades were not intended to impersonate the ancient jade of a certain dynasty. This kind of jade, which was called "new life" in the jade industry, had a unique position in the market. It was very different from the fake ones that were intended to impersonate ancient jade. However, the situation in the antique jade market was complicated. On the one hand, low-end antique jade was mostly sold on the street, targeted at newcomers who had just entered the ancient jade circle and lacked eyesight and funds. Most of these goods were made of garbage materials and sold wholesale after simple carving. They were often accompanied by fabricated stories, such as " three-piece set at the construction site ". Although the profit per piece was low, due to the large quantity, they could still earn a lot of profit. On the other hand, with the development of technology, there were high-quality imitations that were targeted at experts with a certain level of insight. The person who made the high-quality imitations might be an expert in ancient jade. They used old materials, according to the traditional style of the collection, using a combination of machines and handwork, or even self-made tools to make antique jade. They could reach a 90% degree of authenticity, thus misleading many players. In the aspect of identifying ancient jade, there were many ways to fake ancient jade and they were kept secret. For example, the imitation of Blood-seeping Jade could be done by placing the jade in the mud made of pig's blood and yellow soil to form the appearance of soil biting and blood-seeping. To imitate soil rust, one could bury the rubber-coated jade in the yellow soil mud. To make the old look new, one could heat wax on the old jade. There were two ways to make black spots on ancient jade. One was to burn the boiled jade on an iron grill while touching wax oil. The other was to wrap the jade with wet cotton and slowly roast it with water repeatedly after making it in the ancient method. There was also the old method of extracting oil, using the red light grass juice and sand to marinate the new jade texture, then roasting it with bamboo fire to make the Blood Jade to confuse the experts, etc. In addition, for some jade articles that were difficult to judge, such as jade articles in the Hongshan culture style, it was difficult to judge whether they were authentic from the Hongshan culture period, antique jade articles with the Hongshan culture style, or modern antique jade articles just by appearance. This required in-depth research and discussion. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Xiuyan jade is one of the main jade varieties widely used in China's past dynasties. Xiuyan antique jade is the imitation of ancient jade. Because the cultural value of Xiuyan jade products may far exceed the value of the jade itself, some people tried to make Xiuyan jade products into fake ancient jade. When making Xiuyan antique jade ware, on the one hand, they would try their best to imitate the shape of the jade ware, and on the other hand, they would make the jade ware old. The common methods of making old jade included "smoking", which would produce a layer of ash on the surface of the jade to simulate historical deposits. Some of them would even dye some parts of the jade before smoking it to imitate the ancient jade's color, and then smoke it to cover the color with smoke. In addition to smoking, there was also acid corrosion. The acid used included weak acid (such as plum apricot dried liquid) and super strong sulfuric acid. Due to the different degrees of acid corrosion, some Xiuyan jade that had been corroded would show an effect similar to the "chicken bone white" in the unearthed ancient jade. In order to make the old effect more realistic, the counterfeit generally chose Xiuyan jade with cracks and impurities. This kind of jade had rough texture, uneven hardness, and different depths of color. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Antique openwork jade was a type of antique jade carving. Antique jade carvings were the imitation of ancient jade carvings in terms of decorative patterns, theme, and shape. It was a respect and inheritance of traditional China culture. Open carving was a technique of jade carving. When this technique was used in antique jade carving, it could make the work more distinctive. In history, the trend of imitating ancient artifacts began in the Song Dynasty. At that time, due to the prosperity of life and the return of traditional "thoughts", the trend of using jade and other materials to imitate ancient artifacts rose. This trend reached its peak during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. There were three types of antique jade ware in the Qianlong period: one was in the form of imitation, that is, using bronze ware or ancient jade as the blueprint to carry out complete imitation; the second was to change ancient jade according to new ideas; the third was in the style of imitation. The shape and decoration of the ware were more or less the same as those of ancient ware, but the charm was imitated. During the Qianlong period, the jade road was smooth, and all kinds of high-quality jade materials continuously entered the palace, providing sufficient raw materials for antique jade carving. At that time, the palace jade carving craftsmanship was exquisite. The carving, openwork, high embossed and other techniques made the palace jade more exquisite and delicate. The antique jade that imitated the shape and decoration of bronze ware was a common theme. Today, the antique theme was still a new force in many jade carvings and was loved by scholars. When appreciating an antique openwork jade, one could first appreciate its decorative patterns.

Jade carving was a way to let customers participate in the creation process. However, there were many risks and challenges in this process, and there were relatively few reliable situations. When it came to custom-made jade, even if he worked with a well-known sculptor, the final product might not be satisfactory. From a customer's point of view, personal aesthetics, theme, and craftsmanship requirements were very different. Out of a hundred fine products, only one or two would be pleasing to the eye, so it was difficult to ensure that the finished product made by the sculptor met their own preferences. Although there would be communication and requirements before production, verbal promises might not be fulfilled. A small detail of the finished product might not be in place, and the desired effect might be far from the desired effect. Moreover, custom-made products needed to be paid in advance. The processed material could not be restored. Once the finished product was not satisfactory, they could only accept it. For materials, even experienced people could not completely predict the internal situation. The changes in the material during the production process were uncontrollable, and the custom-made ideas might not be realized because of the material. If he wanted to make a private order for Hetian jade, he had to go through the selection of raw materials, the final design, the carving and polishing, and the acceptance of the finished product. Throughout the whole process, the custom-maker had to communicate closely with the jade carving master and adjust the plan in time. The selection of raw materials was the foundation. Hetian jade had many defects in natural raw materials. After opening the raw materials, there might be problems such as internal impurity. The custom-maker had to be tolerant. When choosing the subject, one had to consider the expertise of the jade carving master. Different jade carving masters were good at different subjects. In addition, custom-made jade carvings required high professional knowledge and artistic accomplishment, and the price of custom-made jade carvings was often higher than the finished product. In short, when jade carving was customized, it was necessary to pay attention to the selection of raw materials, theme, and carving skills according to the intention of the custom. Carefully choose a professional studio, and negotiate the custom agreement in advance to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
