How important is jade carving?

As the saying goes, jade cannot be made into a useful object without being carved. Every piece of jade must be carved. Carving is not only reflected in the carving process, but also means removing the imperfect parts of the jade such as dirty color and impurities. Its purpose is to make up for the imperfections of the jade material.

Good jade materials are made with good workmanship. How could a material with good quality, water content and color be made with poor workmanship? In Myanmar, the worst jade raw materials are used to build walls and pave roads. Many jade lovers should have seen this. Low-grade jade materials weighing several tons may only be sold for a few thousand yuan.

Therefore, in the jade industry, jade carvers play a vital role in the jade industry chain. "A few words can express thousands of thoughts, and the vastness of the world can be shown in a small space." This is undoubtedly the core presentation of the spirit of jade carving craftsmen. An excellent jade carving craftsman is also a persistent person.

For example, for high-end jade materials, people will usually find a highly skilled carving master to complete the carving, while low-end processing is generally completed by apprentices, who practice under the guidance of the master. In this way, it may only cost a few dozen yuan or even less to process a flower piece. Some people say that machine carving can be used, and machine carving is widely used, but there are also many hand-carvings by apprentices. After all, jade carving masters also grew up from apprentices.
