In the Chinese jade carving craftsmanship, the master of jade carving is the magic brush Ma Liang. The jade that he handles is vivid and lifelike!

As the saying goes, nine out of ten pieces of jade are carved. Sometimes good carving techniques can make a worthless stone priceless. This is the charm of art. There is a science to the materials used in jade carving, and being able to use materials flexibly and skillfully is an essential carving skill for every jade carver.

Let’s take a look at these jadeite raw stones that are carved vividly by jade carvers. I am really impressed.

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.

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!

As the times progress, even if we have the "art", we should not 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.

It combines form and spirit, is subtle and restrained, connects truth and falsehood, and conveys the truth through art.

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.

To govern form with spirit, to integrate form with meaning, to connect form and spirit and even to let spirit transcend form, this is the innovation and breakthrough made by contemporary jade carvers in artistic invention.

The modern jade carving art, through melodious transmission, produces an elegant beauty, arouses a tension within the work, creates a resonating space, and displays rich artistic content.

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.

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.
