Old Jade Carver
There were many kinds of carving techniques commonly used on old jade: 1. ** Round carving **: also known as three-dimensional carving, which highlights the three-dimensional feeling. The viewer can enjoy every side of the jade in a 360-degree manner. 2. [embossed (flat carving): Carving a pattern of bumps on a flat surface to express the content. According to the depth of the pattern, it is divided into shallow embossed, medium embossed, and high embossed.] - ** Thin embossed **: There are fewer objects protruding from the surface of the jade block. It is mainly made of lines and supplemented by the surface. The lines and the surface combine. It is thin and has a three-dimensional feeling. The depth is no more than 2 mm. - ** Shallow embossed **: Between thin embossed and deep embossed, the level of relief is small, it not only maintains the planarity, but also has a certain sense of volume and relief. The depth is generally no more than 2 - 5 mm. - ** Deep embossed **: The object is protruding from the jade background. The height is undulating, and the relationship between the layers is obvious. The three-dimensional effect is strong. The object is connected to the background, and the back is a flat structure. 3. [Open carving (hollow carving): The characteristics are reflected in the "open" and "hollow". It is the most difficult carving process. Once a mistake is made, it is difficult to remedy it.] 4. ** Yin Line **: Engrave a concave line on the surface of the jade material. Among them, the thick Yin lines on the jade articles of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties and even earlier were often treated with the "One Slope"(also known as the Oblique Knife) technique. One side of the Yin line was vertical to the surface of the jade material, and the other side was a gentle slope. This Yin line had its own shadow effect. There was also the method of arranging many thin and shallow short Yin lines densely, which could be used to highlight the texture of animal and human hair. 5. Yang Line: Opposite to the Yin Line, it was a protruding line. It was commonly seen on Yang (Zhu) jade seals. 6. ** Thin meaning **: derived from embossed technique, it is more "shallow" than the shallow embossed. The carving layer is thin and full of painting. It combines calligraphy, seal carving, and painting into one. It is known for its emphasis on elegance, fine craftsmanship, and close to painting. Read more exciting novels for free
The difference between old jade and old pit jade
" Old jade " was a relatively broad concept. It usually referred to jade that was older, and its focus was on the age of the jade. For example, antique old jade might cover various types of jade, including Xiuyu, Hetian jade, and other different types of ancient jade. These jade may have a certain historical and cultural value due to their age. Old Pit Jade had a different meaning. Taking Hetian jade as an example, from the perspective of mining time, the jade mined in the old Kuangqu is the old pit jade; from the perspective of composition and other characteristics, the Qinghai material with higher tremolite content and closer to the traditional Hetian jade can be called the old pit material. Among the jadeites, the jadeite gravel that had been mechanically weathered and transported to the river valley and riverbed was called "old pit jade" or "young material". In general," old jade " emphasized the age of the jade, while " old pit jade " focused more on the source of the jade or the specific composition and formation conditions.

What kind of jade is the old jade?
The old jade was a type of jade. Its material was a type of metamorphosed rock, and its main component was a meta-mineral. After experiencing high temperature and high pressure, it formed a unique jade structure. Observing it under a microscope, it showed a fiber structure, which made it have high toughness and hardness. At the same time, the material contained a certain amount of moisture and grease. These moisture and grease formed a protective film on the surface of the jade, giving it an oily appearance and feel. The color of the Old Oil Jade was unique. It was a deep and full green. This green was different from the common emerald green or tender green. It was more like a deep green that had been baptized by time. It had a greasy feeling and would emit a greasy luster under the sun. The color was generally translucent. The texture was warm and delicate, and it felt smooth. The novel "Listening to the Rain in Green Bamboo and Watching the Egrets" is equally wonderful. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
Is the delicate jade a kind of old jade?
In jadeite, the fine texture of the meat was an important characteristic, but it was not the only criterion. Judging from the internal structure of the jade, it meant that the crystal particles were fine and tightly bonded to each other, which usually showed a delicate state of meat. For example, the crystal particles had small gaps and a compact structure, which often made the texture of the jade look more delicate. This was also one of the characteristics of the old jade. However, to determine whether the jade was old or not, other factors needed to be combined. For example, the clarity of the jade was also an important consideration. The clarity of the old kind of jade was often better. The content of impurities in the jade would also affect the judgment of the old kind of jade. The jadeite content of the old kind of jade reached the theoretical content, and there were very few impurities. If there were more impurities, it would make the jade become new. Even if the meat was fine, it was difficult to judge the old kind of jade when there were too many impurities. In addition, from the broad concept of jade species, even if there were cases where the meat was fine and delicate in the species named after certain characteristics such as ice species and glutinous species, it might not be determined to be old due to other factors when comparing within the species.

Due to the sorting and elimination of nature, the jade left in the riverbed was mostly dense and fine-grained. It had high clarity, fine texture, soft color, and sufficient water.

Why is old jade worthless?
This statement was too one-sided. The value of old jade had to be considered from many aspects. It could not be said that old jade was worthless.
