The ordinary jade material is transformed into a perfect piece by the jade carving master.

The ordinary jade material is transformed into a perfect piece by the jade carving master.

As the saying goes, "Good material goes with good workmanship." Meeting a jade carving master who makes excellent materials is like meeting a close friend. Jade cannot be made into a useful object without being carved, so the relationship between good material and the carver is like that between a thousand-mile horse and its master. Only if the two can match can the work be shocking.

The raw jadeite looks similar to pebbles in appearance, but its internal structure is completely different. After being cut into slices, the jadeite material is fully displayed in front of the jade carving master. When the jade carver sees the quality and color bands of the jade, a picture with a sense of space emerges in his mind.

So he picked up the pen and, combining the unique characteristics of jade, drew a picture with every precise stroke. A master sculptor with superb craftsmanship must also be a painter with profound skills. This painting is single in front of our eyes, but it is three-dimensional in the mind of the sculptor. The jade carver has 3D thinking, so he carves out the shape of the painting in the jade one by one.

Chinese jade carving has inherited the principle from generation to generation: "Jade must be well-crafted, the craftsmanship must have meaning, and the meaning must be auspicious." Therefore, each work has a beautiful meaning. When you see each jade carving, please think about the auspicious meaning contained in it.

The three-dimensional jade carvings of figures, with lifelike images of people, reflect the exquisite carving skills in the details and perfectly interpret the spiritual beauty of jade. Such works can be used as decorations, and you will never get tired of appreciating them every day. Instead, they become more and more interesting the more you look at them.

From an ordinary piece of jade to an outstanding jade work, all come from jade carvers, so jade carvers play a vital role in the jade industry chain. Carving is the perfect metamorphosis of jade from a cocoon to a butterfly. The requirements for a jade carver to create an exquisite piece of jade jewelry are extremely high. Not only does it require superb skills, but it also requires the creator's inspiration and the ability to select materials and apply art according to the materials.

It can not only add the finishing touch to jade, making it radiant and dazzling, but also turn decay into magic, integrating it into carving out innovative masterpieces. Thereby promoting the development of jade culture and allowing more people to appreciate this rare beauty. Carving is a hard job. Not only does it require careful thinking about the material, but it also requires careful concentration. Without the extraordinary hard work of jade carvers, there would be no jade artifacts that we can wear, play with or appreciate.

At the same time, sculpture, like painting, also requires time to accumulate. For example, for a work of Guanyin, it is difficult to carve out the vivid eyes of the character without 10 years of sculpture experience. People in the industry call it "opening the face", which is the most important step in carving figures and the key to appreciating jade figure works. In the jade industry, jade carvers are hard-working gardeners who work hard day after day for ten years just to strive for excellence and improvement.

If you are lucky enough to obtain a good jade carving, you must treasure it well. This is the greatest encouragement and support for the jade carver.
