Jade carving is the process of transforming a piece of jade from a raw stone into a work of art, and is also one of the important factors that determine the market value of jade finished products. Generally speaking, the production process of jade carvings is roughly carried out in four steps: examining the jade - setting the shape - shaping the shape - conveying the spirit:

1. Jade

That is, observe the appearance, shape, color, quality and cracks of the jade, and then conceive and design based on the size, color, texture and grain of the jade material. Therefore, jade inspection is a very important part of jade carving creation.

2. Shape

According to the type, water content, color and other factors of the jade raw material, the pattern obtained in the first step is painted on the jade material with a brush or shown on a drawing, which is called shape setting. Shaping is an important process of transforming the virtual into the real, and is the key to jade carving creation.

Three: Governance

From this step on, the jadeite begins to be carved. This step is mainly rough carving, that is, through technical means such as chopping, chiseling, marking, buckling, scratching, punching, rolling and drilling, the jade material is gradually turned into a three-dimensional sculpture. However, this is only a semi-finished product and still needs further processing.

Four: Expressive

This process is to make fine modifications to the roughly carved jade articles, making the jade carvings more vivid and lifelike. This is not something that anyone can do. Only artists with ingenious ideas and superb skills can combine their inner meaning and conception with the meaning and conception of the jade material itself based on their long-term artistic practice, and thus carve out artistic treasures.

In short, for a piece of jade to be transformed from a raw stone into a work of art, it requires the careful carving of a jade carver. Each piece of jade art is the result of the painstaking efforts of the jade carver and deserves the respect of every one of us.
