What kind of subject matter a piece of jade can be carved into is determined by the color of the jade itself!

Sometimes, what is carved into a piece of jade is not decided by the jade carver or the buyer, but by the jade itself. This is a wonderful example, with icy blue water and floating green flowers. The quality of the water is excellent and the color is rich. Looking through the light, the light and shadow overlap, and the depth changes, like a deep spring with unpredictable flow. There must always be a dragon hiding in such a deep and mysterious place.

The black leopard hides in the cold night fog, while the black dragon sleeps with the pearl in the warm spring.

The dragon is the totem of the Chinese nation. It is also a beast of good fortune and the king of all reptiles in mythology and legends. It is present in classic stories, folk legends, and customs. It combines the characteristics of deer, archer, tiger, camel and other animals. It ascends to the sky at the spring equinox and dives into the abyss at the autumnal equinox, and can call the wind and rain. It is a symbol of "omnipotence", and naturally it becomes the "Supreme Lord" between heaven and earth.

The emperor is the true dragon emperor and should wear dragon robes and sit on the dragon throne. Ordinary people are also descendants of the dragon. Thousands of years have passed, and the blind worship of dragons has returned to rationality. Now in people's minds, the dragon is more of a symbol of auspiciousness and the embodiment of bravery and fortitude. Perhaps in the hearts of innocent children, the dragon is also a cute animal. Jade dragon pendants are naturally popular among people.

This piece of material itself has a thick texture and majestic momentum, and the direction of the floating flowers has vaguely "comes with a dragon shape". The jade carver naturally took advantage of the situation and carved out a dragon facing forward with its body tumbling. The dragon head is of paramount importance. It must have taken a lot of thought to create such a dragon with bright eyes and a look that seems ready to burst out.

The back and the front are connected to each other, and what is carved is the dragon's tail. In this way, the surface of the card becomes the water surface. Above the water surface, a dragon head appears, with dragon claws flying and swimming around with a pearl; below the water surface, the dragon tail swings, looking energetic. The dragon scales are cleverly polished to a matte finish, making them look more textured.

When evaluating a piece of jade, one must start from the type, water, color, and workmanship, but one should not be confined to these aspects. This ice-type green dragon pendant is not of the best quality, its color is not the greenest, and its carving is not the most advanced, but when these four aspects are combined together, it is the most perfect. I think this kind of perfection in imperfection is what can best touch the softest part of one’s heart.
