Can you tell the four major types of jade carving apart?

"If jade is not carved, it will not become a useful object." Carving craftsmanship is an important factor in measuring jade works. However, in the jade industry, the craftsmanship of different factions also reflects the local cultural characteristics. Jade has been integrated into my country's traditional culture for hundreds of years, and has been injected with the soul of traditional culture through meticulous carving. How many of the following four "crafts" do you know?

Suyang craftsmanship can be summed up in one word: "ancient". It has a profound heritage and a strong classical flavor. In order to better imitate ancient works, we will put some effort into selecting materials, but not all materials are pleasing to the eye. The natural texture and color of jade are used to design jade carvings with classical charm.

Jieyang craftsmen usually use high relief and round sculpture, and the carved works have a strong sense of three-dimensionality. "The best jade in the world comes from Jieyang craftsmen." The carving skills of Jieyang craftsmen can be summarized in one word: "fine", which is reflected in their zero tolerance for flaws and their attention to detail. Focus on improving the transparency of jade by adjusting water.

Ruili craftsmanship (also known as Dian craftsmanship) can be summarized by the word "charm". It has rich themes, unique style full of regional color, and retains "natural interest". But the disadvantage is that friends who like fine carving style may not find anything particularly fine on the Yunnan carvings. But this is precisely the characteristic of Ruili craftsmanship - the materials used are grand and substantial, without wasting jade materials.

Sihui craftsmen "take jade from other mountains and make it into useful tools in Sihui". Because this place emphasizes processing speed and excels in winning by quantity, the jade carvings produced in Sihui on the market can be vivid and lifelike with just a few strokes. However, a closer look will reveal that the carvings are simpler than those in other places. Therefore, the jade carving techniques of Sihui workers can be summarized as "smart", so that the key points can be grasped for more efficient carving.

Therefore, the four major jade carving craftsmanship styles introduced above each have their own merits. When you come across a jade ornament, you can also observe it carefully and distinguish the style of the carving. Okay, follow me, Beijing Pawn Shop, and learn more jade knowledge easily.
