The entire process of jade carving from sheet material design to finished product, this is craftsmanship!

Jadeite raw stones are rigid, cold and lifeless, but there are a group of people who can transform them into dynamic, lively and life-filled works of art.

The carving of jade has very demanding requirements on technical craftsmanship. A good jade raw material must be completed by a good sculptor.

As an excellent sculptor, one must be proficient in various jade carving techniques, and the works carved must be unique!

As a major component of my country's traditional civilization, jade carving has certainly lasted for thousands of years! Even today's new generation of jade carvers can carry forward this important skill even further!

Excellent jade carvings must be timely and able to change with the times. They cannot always be retro or overly crude. After all, people's aesthetic concepts are constantly changing. Jade carvings must also be designed in accordance with the market and people's preferences to meet the needs of people of different age groups.

Next, we need to design it to avoid cracks and paint over and over again.

With the advancement of the times, people's living standards are constantly improving, and their spiritual world is also becoming richer. Therefore, the creative thinking and design concepts of sculpture works should also continue to forge ahead and keep pace with the times. Even if you have the "art", don't forget the "meaning".

The works of jade carver Xu Lianqiu focus not only on "art" but also on "meaning"! His jade carving inventions not only adhered to the jade body itself, but also developed things from the depths of his soul.

Looking at the development of jade carving in my country so far, many jade carving masters have been demonstrating the artistic conception of jade carving, and the artistic conception beauty of jade carving can be briefly explained from the following aspects: both form and spirit, tortuous and forbearing, the connection between true and false, and using art to convey the truth.

After the subject matter was finally decided, the sheet material design was as shown in the picture.

No matter it is people, animals, mountains, rocks, flowers or plants, the paintings are vivid in the process of description, just like poems which usually "contain endless meanings beyond the words" and have "unexpected rhyme". In jade carving works, it shows "not like or similar", which is neither concrete nor general, wandering between existence and non-existence, and considering the juncture of form and spirit.

Now the carving is complete, let’s take a look at the finished product!

Through the limited form of the picture, imagining the invisible space is what Chinese jade carving pursues. The ethereality of jade carvings does not mean simple design or empty pictures, but an ethereality with the flow of spiritual energy. The key issue is not the number of carved pictures, but the unique inspiration of the artist.

This is the effect on the back, virtue can bring you great things!

The jade carvers express their feelings in clouds and water, in mountains and forests, and in art, and use art to convey their ideas, thus completing a long journey of the soul. This reflects the common orientation of Chinese art, the emphasis on human qualities, and the influence of this civilization on art, which regards art as the external manifestation of human qualities, and ultimately develops into a pursuit of human morality.
