The charm of jade is not only the mystery of gambling on stones, but also the hardship of the design and processing process.

Artistic intuition plays a very important role in the creative thinking activities of jade carving. Gorky once said: "Artistic intuition arises from stored impressions."

Jade carving also requires the master to think hard and come up with one or several solutions, and then choose the best one for processing. Sometimes during the processing, we have to change our original intention or pause to think again. It is not possible to immediately determine what can be processed for each piece. However, there is also such a phenomenon: when a jade carving master accidentally sees a piece of jade, it is like being electrocuted, and all the disguises of the raw material seem to be immediately stripped off, and what appears before his eyes is a vivid picture.

The design transforms the ordinary into something magical, with both bold and exaggerated as well as abstract and freehand styles. Let’s take a look at today’s protagonist, an old blue water material with excellent water color.

But if you look at it through light, you can find a lot of cracks, which is why it cannot be made into a bracelet.

First, draw dotted lines where there are cracks in the material. Based on the remaining space, it was finally decided to draw four square signs.

All four pieces are the same size, so I won’t post pictures of them one by one here.

Plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum are called the "Four Gentlemen", and we often use "Four Gentlemen" to symbolize the noble character of saints.

All four pieces are in place, and now all that’s left is the final polishing step. What will it look like after grinding and polishing?

Let’s appreciate the “Four Gentlemen” brand together!

Buddha said: "Beautiful jade is hidden in stubborn stone, and lotus grows out of mud. You must know that when you are troubled, enlightenment is Bodhi." The charm of jade lies not only in the mystery of gambling on stones, but also in the difficulty of the design and processing process! Because when designing each piece of raw material, you need to avoid large cracks, small cracks, cotton, dirt, and also highlight the unique color, water quality, etc. A piece of jadeite, which is like a stubborn stone, needs to be carefully carved by a jade carver to create a work with vitality, thus inspiring people's infinite reverie and giving people a sense of beauty. This is the charm of art.
