For jade carving art creation, finding ways to preserve the integrity of the material is sometimes an art in itself, because it can better demonstrate and enhance the material's inherent value. Just like this piece of full green polyhedron, thick jadeite with color roots, according to the common processing method, it is often cut into two and carved into two plates. But as long as some edges and corners of the material are polished off, it will become a large piece of complete, full-color material, just like a plump rice dumpling, with lush green flowing as if about to drip, and clear and pure green under the light. So we finally finalized the design and carving plan of the lion seal "Qiyuxuanang". Seals are meant to gain trust, and are symbols of promise, authority, and status, often giving people a sense of propriety and properness. The creators have taken this into full consideration when designing. According to the appearance characteristics of the jade material, the bottom of the seal is designed into a square rectangle. As the saying goes “no rules, no order”, this highlights the unique and deep meaning of the seal. The sides and top can be flexibly adjusted according to the appearance. There are three green lions carved on the top and sides. The green lions are not ordinary lions, but the mounts of Manjushri Bodhisattva, the incarnation of great wisdom. As the mount of Manjushri Bodhisattva, the blue lion is not only the king of beasts, representing power and fearlessness, but the lion's roar is also a metaphor for the loud voice of Buddhism that shakes the world. At the same time, it is also a symbol of wisdom and divine power. Just as the words inscribed on the seal say "The lion's roar brings down the jade screen" and "The majestic demeanor roars with wisdom". The appearance of the blue lion on the seal further strengthens the seal's connotation of "prestige, honor, and power", while the layout of the three lions guarding the seal allows a clever combination of rules and dynamics. The three lions occupy each side and echo each other, which is vivid, brave, and mighty. They are full of kingly momentum and have the light of a mythical beast, which makes people both awe-inspiring and admired. The addition of auspicious elements such as precious beads, ruyi, and auspicious patterns not only improves the sense of picture, but also fits the original intention of jade carving creation that "the work must have meaning, and the meaning must be auspicious." With its protection, you can be healthy, have faith, be fearless, and gain wisdom. fcgc66 fcpf18 |
