Jade Carving
There were many forms of jade carvings. From the material point of view, there are ice jade, natural Xiuyan jade, Qinghai green material and so on. Among them, the ice jade box was made of high-quality jade. It was crystal clear and translucent. Although it was not big, it was small and exquisite. The design implied happiness and good fortune. The top half was skillfully colored, and the emerald green gradual change was carved into winding vines. There was a pair of quails on the vines, and there was a goldfish inside the box. They symbolized good luck, living and working in peace, having more than enough money every year, and being filled with gold and jade. Furthermore, the hollowed-out carving details were meticulous, carving a lifelike shape on a small jade material. The jade carvings made of green jade from Qinghai were like small praying mantises made of green jade. The jade was soft and delicate, bright and moist, well-proportioned, clean and refreshing. The overall perfection was high. After the new national standard of Hetian jade added the color of green jade, Qinghai green jade became the new favorite of players. Its green color fullness was balanced with the brightness of white jade, and it was a good material for beautiful carving. In terms of meaning, goldfish were homonyms for "gold and jade", so jade carvings with goldfish elements were often given the meaning of "gold and jade". There were also a variety of jade carvings related products on the market, with different prices, such as imitation purple mica-carved round pendant, natural Xiuyan jade stone, creative office decoration, goldfish jade pendant, etc. The novel " Gilded Palm " is equally exciting.

Nuwa Jade Carving
Nuwa's jade carving could be described from the following aspects: - [Design Concept: When carving Nuwa jade, one must follow the principle of "figure integration". According to the shape, color, texture, cracks, flaws, etc. of the jade raw material, a feasible process concept should be carried out.] For example, there was a piece of jade that was bright and smooth in color, and the top part of it was green. According to this feature, the picture of Nüwa mending the sky could be designed, emphasizing the green part to reflect the fearless spirit reflected by Nüwa mending the stone. - ** Production process **: - Drawing: Drawing on the jade is the first step. Draw the corresponding pattern on the jade according to the design concept. - Cutting and positioning (stabbing): Use a thallium-based piece to cut off the excess parts, so that the corresponding surface appears on the surface of the jade. This is the key process of jade carving production. From the raw material to the accurate appearance of the image, it mainly depends on this process. - ** Carving Details **: For example, when carving the jade carving of Nüwa, the lower left part of the initial idea was to carve the front and back of the dragon circling. In practice, it could be changed into waves, symbolizing Nüwa's brave and fearless spirit of leaping over the sea and standing between heaven and earth. Next was the fine blank (finding the fine) process, which used the hook to carefully engrave the fine details of the character's image, such as outlining the obvious creases such as the folds of Nuwa's skirt and hair, and then refining the engravings to make the bumps and joints complete and smooth. - ** Polishing and Grinding (Roughening)**: The surface of the semi-finished jade carving will be polished to be more delicate, and then the leather will be dipped in polishing powder to brighten it. - ** Cleaning **: After cleaning the jade, it can be shipped to achieve the effect of value for money.

Simple Jade Carving
The simple carving techniques of jade included the carving of Yin lines and Yang lines. Yin lines were carved on the surface of the jade material, which was a relatively simple technique in jade carving. The thick Yin lines on jade articles in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties and even earlier were often treated with the "one side slope"(also known as the inclined 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 a shadow effect, which could enhance the three-dimensional effect of the pattern. It could also be densely arranged with many thin and short Yin lines to show the texture of hair. Yang lines were lines that protruded out, like the seal characters commonly seen on Yang characters (vermilion characters) jade seals. In addition, flat carving was relatively simple. It was carved on the surface of the jade. Bo Yi was also a relatively unique and relatively difficult carving technique, but it could be understood as a relatively simple carving technique derived from embossed. It was an extremely shallow embossed. The carving layer was thin and full of painting intent. It was even more "shallow" than shallow embossed. It combined calligraphy, seal carving, and painting into one. It was known for its emphasis on elegance, fine workmanship, and close to painting theory. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Mouse carved jade had many cultural and moral characteristics. In terms of material selection, high-quality jade raw materials were used, such as jade. Its texture was delicate and warm, and its colors were varied. There were green, light green, white, violet, and so on. The sculptor would design the shape of the mouse according to the color distribution and texture of the jade, so that the beauty of the jade and the lively image of the mouse could be integrated. In terms of craftsmanship, an excellent sculptor could vividly portray the shape, expression, and demeanor of a mouse. His eyes were bright, his ears were alert, his mouth seemed to be smiling, and his hair and beard were distinct. At the same time, it would combine the shape and texture of the jade, using techniques such as embossed, round carving, and hollow carving to increase the layering and three-dimensional feeling. It had a rich meaning. The mouse was ranked first in the twelve zodiac signs, symbolizing intelligence. Wearing a jade carving of a mouse implied that the wearer was smart and sharp, and could respond to challenges and seize opportunities in life and work.

Jade carving restoration
The following are some common methods of repairing jade carvings: 1. [Bonding of fracture]: It is suitable for situations where the jade is broken, and it is not cost-effective to cut it into two, or it cannot be carved again. During the operation, the gem-specific glue was used to re-glue the fracture along the fracture. The fracture was required to be relatively complete and perfectly pieced together. 2. [Gold and Jade Embedding]: This is a traditional technique. When repairing jade, it can be used to connect the broken parts with gold and silver patterns. Not only could it help with piecing together, but it could also hide cracks. It could also give jade articles new patterns. It had a wide range of applications. For example, when jade and white jade bracelets were broken, a gold or silver hoop could be wrapped around the broken ring; for jade with cracks, gold or silver threads could be pressed into the cracks. 3. ** Divide into two (or one piece into multiple pieces)**: The designer will analyze the original shape of the jade according to the damage of the jade, and divide it on the basis of the original after ingenious conception. For example, the broken carving was divided into two or more independent or related small pieces, or the broken jade was divided into multiple independent small pieces through the design and carving of the restoration craftsman. This method could reduce the number of discarded items. The value of the repaired jade was sometimes not lower than the original, but it required a high level of design and innovation ability of the technician, and the workload was also large. 4. ** Re-repair **: Re-create with the premise of covering up and repairing the damage of the jade. The masters of art had many methods to remedy and repair, such as "removing the high to make up for the low","removing the fat to make up for the thin","making up for the bad with the bad","making up for the broken with the broken", etc. A simple re-repair could grind and polish the damaged jades at the edges and corners, but it might affect the proportion and coordination of the original shape. A complicated re-creation of the original work according to the damaged parts was required. This method required a lot of work and was difficult to create. However, if the creativity was unique, the overall effect might be the closest to the original work and the degree of restoration would be perfect. 5. [** Gaps Filled **: Used when the jade pendant is only missing a small piece.] Generally, synthetic resin mixed with chalk powder was applied to the missing parts and modified by sculpting. In order to make the color of the repaired part consistent with the color of the surrounding jade, it would first be ground into powder with the same color of raw materials (such as malachite, lapis lazuli, etc.), or mixed with the same color of raw materials in the filling before filling. 6. Mortise and Tenon Repair: Use the structure of mortise and tenon to repair the jade carving. Choose the appropriate materials and color to achieve a better repair effect. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Jade Internal Carving
Internal carving was a jade carving method that went deep into the jade material. It was to carry out embossed and round carving inside the jade. Internal carvings were made using this unique jade carving technique. For example, on some high-quality jade raw materials, craftsmen used internal carving techniques to create various shapes inside the jade, such as three-dimensional or embossed shapes of people, flowers, birds, and animals. Since the internal carving operation was carried out inside the jade, it required the craftsman to have superb skills and rich experience, and to have a deep understanding of the internal structure of the jade to ensure that the jade would not be damaged during the carving process. This kind of internal carving was more unique and artistic than the traditional works that were only carved on the surface of jade. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Jade Mechanical Carving
The mechanical carving of jade was carried out using a specialized jade carving machine. Jade engraving machine was an industry classification of stone engraving machines. It was a new type of numerical control equipment, and its working principle was similar to that of a numerical control milling machine. It could be divided into flat jade engraving machines and three-dimensional jade engraving machines. Its working process is to first use the engraving programming software to convert the content to be carved into the standard G code that the engraving machine control software can recognize, and then make the three axes of the control machine automatically move in a continuous way, thus achieving automatic engraving. It can complete the Yin carving, Yang carving, line carving, embossed and other text or pattern effects on the jade, and is also suitable for jade, jewelry and mold processing. According to the control method, it could be divided into computer controlled jade engraving machine and panel controlled jade engraving machine. The price of computer controlled jade engraving machine was relatively cheap, and the stability of the panel controlled jade engraving machine was higher. According to the hardness and precision requirements of the customer, it could be divided into high and low configuration jade engraving machine. The finished product of mechanical carving of jade had the advantages of saving time and effort, high yield, low cost, and less error. However, the disadvantage was that the product lacked spirituality and couldn't be carved with beautiful colors. The outer shape was basically similar, and most of it was reflected by the technical parameters on the computer. It lacked characteristics. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Jade carving 4D
4D Hetian jade referred to jade that was collected in the Hotan Prefecture through modern technology to perform three-dimensional scanning, digital model generation, and three-dimensional carving. There was a debate about whether 4D Hetian jade was regarded as real jade or fake jade. Some people thought it was real jade, while others did not think so. To distinguish the authenticity of 4D Hetian jade, one needed to understand the physical and chemical characteristics of Hetian jade, its color, and other aspects of knowledge. Combined with the identification of professional appraisal agencies, as well as a variety of understanding and comparison, one also needed to pay attention to the merchant's publicity channels, prices, and so on. One should not easily believe the merchant's promotional phrases such as " absolutely authentic " and " 1:1 simulation ". <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Jade carving beauty
Jade carvings of beautiful women were commonly seen in jade carvings. When sculpting beautiful women, one could design them from the six dimensions of point, line, color, shape, meaning, and rhyme. They could use hollowing, Yang carving, Yin carving, round carving, embossed carving, and other techniques to magnify the beauty of different types of beautiful women. The dots and lines create a delicate feeling, the beautiful colors create a beautiful shape, the shape presents a dynamic feeling, and the meaning adds a mysterious color. The images of beautiful women in different dynasties had their own characteristics, such as Xi Shi's graceful beauty, Wang Zhaojun's sad beauty, Diao Chan's tenacious beauty, and Yang Yuhuan's gentle beauty. It was also reflected in the jade carving works. For example, Shi Zhongwei's creative jade carving studio used Qinghai materials to carve female images of different eras, different clothes, and different identities. They integrated the inspiration of ancient sundial into simple shapes to interpret the understanding of time and beauty. They combined traditional China line drawing techniques with Western anatomy and perspective to make the characters three-dimensional and profound. From an aesthetic point of view, the image of beautiful women in different eras had different aesthetic characteristics. Beauties in the Tang Dynasty paid attention to realism and truthfulness. They were plump and strong, graceful and noble, and their clothes were magnificent. Beauties in the Qing Dynasty revealed the charm of a small family. Beauties in the Republic of China had fashionable curly hair and printed cheongsams. They smiled elegantly and charmingly. Women in the 21st century reflected the characteristics of self-confidence, independence, and generosity. The beautiful women in the jade carvings had various postures. Some were dressed in fluttering clothes, some were gentle and quiet, some were shy and reserved, some were plump and noble, some were beautiful from a small family, and some were amorous. Moreover, the image of a beautiful woman in the jade carvings had the saying of "Jade Noble", which was homonym to "meet a noble".
