The jade craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty had the following characteristics: 1. ** Jade Refining Stage ** - ** Early Ming Dynasty **: Jade processing technology continues the traditional processing methods of the Tang and Song Dynasties, and some of them have the style of the Song, Liao and Jin Dynasties. - ** Mid-Ming Dynasty **: The shape and style of the jade ware were rough and simple. The lines and patterns were bright and powerful. At that time, the equipment, tools, processing methods, and grinding efficiency were greatly improved. - ** Late Ming Dynasty **: The level of grinding technology was further improved. Craftsmen gradually mastered the improved high-efficiency grinding technology, forming a complete process flow. The processing procedures and methods were more standardized and standardized. 2. ** Craftsmanship Inheritance and Change ** - The jade craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty continued the craftsmanship of the Tang and Song Dynasties. Judging from the techniques of the jade ware in the Tang and Song Dynasties, such as the cloud pattern, the Yin line pattern, and the openwork, the grinding materials and processing methods have not changed fundamentally after many years. - In the early Ming Dynasty, the precision and stability of jade processing equipment did not change significantly, but the speed of rotation and grinding increased, and the technical requirements and strictness increased. During the War and Han Dynasties, grinding lines required repeated grinding. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the number of times was reduced. In the Ming Dynasty, the number of times of grinding may be even less. This required craftsmen to have a bold attitude, superb control ability, and skilled operation skills. For example, when Lu Zigang processed the jade ware, he formed a complete jade making process, including multiple procedures from rough grinding to fine grinding and continuous correction. After the jade ware was completed, the polishing process was also divided into multiple stages, reflecting the high level of jade making technology in the late Ming Dynasty. 3. ** Material characteristics ** - Most of them were made of Hetian materials in Xinjiang, mainly sapphire, followed by white jade, a small number of jasper or black jade works, and topaz was extremely rare. - Sapphire and white jade works were polished exquisitely, with a good luster on the surface, which was oily and had a "glass luster";; black jade works were light in color, with bluish gray texture mixed with brown spots and uneven distribution, and the surface had a glass luster; Ming Dynasty jasper, due to material reasons, had a weak luster after polishing, and most of them had a greasy luster. 4. ** Polishing feature ** - Pattern decoration was often done in embossed and by reducing the Yang lines on the ground. The embossed decorative patterns were polished at the edges of the raised contours to form narrow, flat, and smooth lines. Most of the pieces of carving were polished in parallel, while the three-dimensional objects were polished in parallel. 5. ** Multi-layer engraving feature ** - Most of the multi-layer carved jade ware was processed by the pipe drilling method, which was different from the single-layer pattern carving method, which resulted in the second and third layers of patterns being more rough. Most of the multi-layered carvings were only carefully polished on the surface, and the few layers of decorative patterns on the bottom were roughly polished or even not polished. 6. ** Drill feature ** - In the performance of animal and plant works, the traces of pipe drills were often retained. For example, the circular dents left by the pipe drills were often seen around the grain pattern and the nail pattern, and the stamen of the flower pattern was also reflected. 7. ** Common Jade Carving Techniques ** - [embossed: There are low and high embossed sculptures.] Low embossed made the jade have the effect of protruding lines by digging out the lines or the outline of the pattern; high embossed promoted the formation of three-dimensional patterns by digging the bottom and adding the shadow lines to shape. - [Internal Carving]: embossed and engraving the inside of the jade. - [Round Sculpture]: This is a 3D sculpting style. It is commonly used in 3D beast and human sculpting. - [Carving (Open Carving): Carves and pierces through only one side of the jade. There are two identical spaces in the jade.] - [Charming Color Carving]: Clever use of the color of the jade material, appropriate division of colors to achieve a clever effect. - Embossing under the flower: Evolved from the multi-layer openwork form. The background is decorated with fine hollowed-out patterns. The flowers and dragons on the surface are set off by the embossed technique, forming two or three layers of embossed decoration. - ** Polishing **: Make the surface of the jade carving more lustrous, moist, and sparkling. - [Line Engraving]: Carving a pattern with a single line. There are single and double lines. Before the Han Dynasty, the Yin lines of jade pieces were mostly carved with shallow lines and connected with short lines. 8. ** Regional style classification (by region)** - ** Northern Jade Carving **: With Beijing, Tianjin, and Liaoning as the representatives, it mainly carves round flowers, three-dimensional gods, Buddhas, and group portraits. Its skills are simple and elegant, solemn and generous. It is good at measuring materials and applying skills according to materials. It pays attention to beautiful colors and has the characteristics of palace art. - ** Southern Jade Carving **: With Guangdong and Fujian as the representatives, influenced by bamboo and wood carving techniques and Southeast Asian culture, it has unique features in multi-layered jade balls, hollow carvings, and high-end jade jewelry carvings. The shape is full, the craftsmanship is exquisite, and the image is vivid. - Yang Sect Jade Carving: It is represented by the Yangzhou area.
