In order to put a jade bracelet on Guanyin, they actually did this!

Jade carving is an artistic journey with no end. Every casual detail embodies the ingenuity of the jade carver, and is meticulously carved to be displayed in front of people, making the viewers marvel.

I wonder if anyone has noticed that some Guanyin statues wear full green jade bracelets on their wrists. The color and material are different from the main body, giving people the feeling that they are really "worn" on.

And it's not just the Guanyin statue, but also statues of other characters, such as Liu Hai, Buddha, Fogong, Jigong, etc., who often wear bracelets. So the question is, how are these bracelets "put on"?

You have to know that this is not a living person's hand that can be put together, pinched and put on tightly. And judging from the statue, the opening of the bracelet is obviously smaller than the palm. And bracelets are most particular about being perfect and without cracks, so it is impossible that it was broken and then glued together.

Maybe someone has thought about it, could it be the pretty color ? It just so happened that that circle was green, and then it was carefully separated and hollowed out to make a bracelet. This possibility is indeed not impossible, but it is impossible for every piece to be so coincidental. Moreover, the color and material of some main bodies and bracelets are very different, so it is unlikely that they are naturally occurring colors.

Then someone thought, could it be dyed ? This is indeed a possibility, but it is not necessary. Most of these jade carvings as ornaments are carved by famous artists. The material may not be good, but it is generally not fake, so there is no need to affect the grade of the entire carving by dyeing the bracelet.

So what is the real answer to the mystery?

In fact, it is very simple. This bracelet was really put on by a jade carver.

The bracelet is complete, but the palm is independent. The wrist is processed into a "concave" shape, and the palm link is processed into a "convex" shape. The palm with the bracelet is attached to the arm using the mortise and tenon structure. At the same time, the joints of sleeves, pleats and other parts are weakened to create a natural illusion that ordinary people can hardly see.

After watching it, are you impressed by the sculptor’s ingenuity and skill?

These fine jade carvings on the tip of the knife not only transform an obscure piece of stone into a perfect work of art, thus increasing its value, but also give life to the stone, allowing jade art to last for a long time.
