Turning waste into treasure, bringing the dead back to life, a magical profession that brings countless wonderful works

There is a saying in the jade carving industry: "Carving is the lifeblood of low-grade jade"!

Do you still remember the much-talked-about "Returning Home on a Snowy Night"? That was just a piece of material bought for 100 yuan, but after Master Yang Shuming carved it, it was immediately bought by a buyer for 1 million yuan!

Although it is rogue to measure art by its value, it also shows the ability of a jade carving master to turn waste into treasure and bring it back to life.

Let us show you how good the jade carvers are through the following works.

This is a piece of jade material that has a lot of dirt hidden in it. The bracelet cannot be removed, and it is too difficult to carve a small piece. It is just a waste! But it ended up looking like this!

Isn’t it amazing! Moreover, the work has a profound meaning. It expresses the lonely and hopeful backs of left-behind children, who are looking outside the courtyard wall, hoping that their families will return home indefinitely. The work calls on everyone to care for left-behind children, which is truly ingenious.

There are many such works. Let us appreciate the great creativity of jade carvers together!

"Love at First Sight"

Using a completely realistic technique to turn decay into magic, the green flowers and butterflies that symbolize life and the only green in the dirty material are used to the extreme, giving a sense of ingenuity of "a red apricot branch coming out of the wall", but also a sense of contrast of "a thousand miles of desolation" but "the wind blows but the grass does not break, and the extreme weakness gives rise to strength", which makes people marvel at the infinite charm of jade.

"The Ultimate Bag"

This is a piece of stone that many people disdain. Apart from that tiny bit of green, it is almost worthless. But in the hands of Master Chen Yi, it immediately blooms with different colors. Such a small bag can already be mistaken for the real thing. It even has a classical and elegant charm.

"Rise All the Way"

The work uses dirty jade as the base, and has pure and clean lotus flowers, which not only preserves the grandeur of the work but also creates a strong contrast.

The level of jade carving skills can often determine the value of a piece of jade. As the saying goes, "there is no waste in the eyes of a master", which means that those jade carvers with superb skills can transform ordinary and seemingly waste jade materials into exquisite jade carvings through carving.

In addition to paying attention to the resemblance of shape, jade carving art must also reflect the charm and connotation of the work. This is not only a matter of carving skills, but more importantly, the inner spiritual realm of the jade carver.

In the creative process, it is not simply about using the characteristics of the raw materials or the exquisite craftsmanship, but about expressing a state of life, a state of artistic conception that has both form and spirit.

These originally ordinary and even unpopular waste materials have been transformed into stunning works by the skillful hands of discerning jade carvers. They are portrayed so vividly, once again proving to us the strength of the jade carvers and the greatness of the jade carving spirit!
