Jade carving, the art that "lives" on jade!

The carver carves, the viewer carves

It is the spiritual interaction between the sculptor and the viewer.

Exchange of ideas and emotional communication between the two sides

Are you impressed by the jade carving?

—— Yu Ji

Some people say that jade carving is an art that "lives" on stone, carrying a long history and culture, possessing superb skills and infinite wisdom.

Beautiful jade is alive. After being carefully carved by jade carvers, it becomes an exquisite work of art. Each piece of purely handmade carved artwork is a unique treasure.

Jade is expressive and can be created with the jade carver's knife. The most authentic characteristics of the beautiful stone are retained during the exquisite carving.

How to make a jade carving work appear more vivid, or in other words, how to highlight the object to be carved more accurately requires not only exquisite carving skills, but also strong plasticity of the original stone.

The ancients said, "If jade is not carved, it will not become a useful object." The word "carving" reveals the dominance of craftsmanship. Without "craftsmanship", there would be no "art."

As far as carving is concerned, "craftsmanship" plays a major role. However, there is no definite answer as to how much "carving" should be done. It depends on the material and the person.

What is finally revealed is the ideological theme and cultural connotation of art, as well as the jade carver's own skills, knowledge, cultivation and other comprehensive qualities, as well as the full and reasonable use of materials, including shape, color and texture.

Making the "material" have rich expressiveness under the carving knife is the perfect combination of jade carving and craftsmanship.

No matter what technique is used to carve the work, whether it is a three-dimensional round sculpture or a multi-layer or single-layer hollow sculpture, it uses jade as a carrier. It not only carves time, but also contains profound historical and cultural elements.

Stone has great beauty that is beyond words, and jade carving is the highest embodiment of the beauty of stone.

It not only lives in the fingertips of jade carving craftsmen, but also lives in our eyes, hands, necks, and wrists...
