Carving gives jade life value

Jadeite is a name that almost everyone knows in China. Most people have seen jade's stunning beauty and heard of its even more stunningly high price. We talked about jade, using strings of numbers, but we couldn't talk about more. Because we know so little about jade. Fortunately, we have such a book, which does not exaggerate or show off, but interprets jade objectively with a professional perspective and tells us the true value of jade. ——This book is "Wind and Water Rise" written by Guangdong Province Arts and Crafts Master Zhang Bingguang.

It's hard to give up your natural beauty

As we all know, jade is an imported product and does not exist locally. Looking around the world, the only place that currently produces high-quality jade is Myanmar. You can imagine how scarce jade production is. The rarity of jade lies not only in its scarcity, but also in its brilliant and varied colors and its pure texture that is as transparent as water. The industry pays attention to the "color", "water" and "type" of jade. These three are the natural value of jade.

Zhang Bingguang's work "Lock of Longevity" is made of top-grade full-green jadeite. It is translucent, elegant and luxurious.

Zhang Bingguang's work "Dreaming of Entering Peach Blossom Land, Not Knowing the Existence of Han" has clear and elegant landscapes and a strong ancient charm.

Zhang Bingguang has been engaged in jade creation for more than 20 years and has handled countless jade raw materials. His rich carving experience has enabled him to deeply understand the secrets of jade raw materials. In the book "Wind Produces and Water Arises", Zhang Bingguang introduces in detail the meanings of "color", "water" and "species" of jade raw materials, the types and characteristics of raw materials, the rules of cutting, the rules for processing raw materials during carving, etc. The argument is rigorous, the language is easy to understand, and it is eye-opening.

Human ingenuity surpasses nature's craftsmanship

As the saying goes, jade cannot be made into a useful object without being carved, and the same is true for jadeite. The gorgeous and dazzling jade jewelry and the exquisite jade carvings are all carved by pairs of skillful hands. The value of jade, on the one hand, is the value of the raw material itself, and on the other hand, is the craftsmanship value of jade carving. The craftsmanship value of a high-quality jade carving often far exceeds the value of the raw material itself.

Zhang Bingguang's work "Scenery of Huangshan" has delicate and vivid carvings, a well-determined composition, and a lush green landscape that is beyond words.

Zhang Bingguang's work "Peach Blossoms, Flowing Water, and Fat Mandarin Fish" is freehand with the delicate reality of meticulous brushwork, adhering to the landscape style of the Lingnan School of Painting.

To enhance the craftsmanship value of jade, one must not only be familiar with jade carving techniques, but also form one's own unique carving aesthetics. In the book "Wind and Water Rise", Zhang Bingguang talks very frankly about his creative experience and the formation of his creative aesthetic style, and uses a professional perspective to analyze for us the mysteries of jade creation.

Zhang Bingguang's work "Eternal Spring" has a strong Lingnan flavor.

Zhang Bingguang's work "Heaven and Earth" is delicately carved, perfectly showing the delicate and pure texture of the jade material.
