How to design yellow and white jade materials to convey the meaning of "diligence"?

A jade friend wants to collect it as a decoration and put it in the study. What subject matter do you think is suitable?

This piece of Damakan water stone has a three-dimensional high side with stone skin and pits.

The other side is relatively flat, with good white quality and floating colors, but there are long depressions, cotton and potholes in some places.

In fact, both sides can be appreciated and have their own charm, but yellow is the biggest highlight of the material. If white is used for the front side, it must be dug deep enough for the yellow to show through, which would damage the material too much.

So we decided to choose the stone skin as the front side. First, it can show the beautiful yellow in three dimensions and highlight the characteristics of a good mine. Second, the stone skin is slightly black. After proper selection, the colors can be coordinated and even, and the yellow and white can be contrasted. The water quality and the stone skin set off each other, and the effect is even better!

Jade lovers hope that the work can convey the meaning of "diligence" and can be passed on to the next generation.

In the ancient precepts "Zeng Guang Xian Wen", there is a famous couplet by Han Yu about studying: "The path to the mountain of books is made through diligence, the boat to the boundless sea of ​​learning is made through hard work."

The imagery of the poem is integrated into the subject matter: the color of yellow varies in shades, and we use the composition of traditional Chinese painting, combining the real and the imaginary, to conceive a landscape of a thatched cottage hidden behind maple trees. This not only adds color but also resolves potholes, and also makes use of the high position of rocks to retain the thickness of the material. Han Yu and his book boy went on their journey to study, fearless of hardships and perseveringly moving forward.

The long marks on the back are like waterfalls in the canyon, and the concave pits are like caves, outlining the wise man fishing in the cave at the back. Light cotton is used to adjust the seeds and resolve the long marks and pits. Fishing can cultivate the mind and cultivate the character, while reading can nourish the energy. The two complement each other.

"Burning oil to continue the day and night, and working hard all year round." According to legend, Han Yu "burned oil to continue the day and night", and studied diligently day and night, and was later honored by the world as the first of the "Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties".

Hard work in youth will benefit you for life, so don’t waste your time. Heaven rewards hard work, and virtue carries all things; diligence brings knowledge, and perseverance leads to far-reaching achievements!
