Hetian jade processing

my country has a long history of mining and utilizing jade, and has also formed a complete set of detailed processes for the processing and design of Hetian jade. The processing includes process skills, carving skills, subject matter, artistic style, etc. The following will introduce the processing procedures of Hetian jade. Generally speaking, its processing can be divided into four steps: material selection, design, jade carving and polishing.

1. Select materials. There are many varieties of Hetian jade, and the shapes, characteristics, quality, etc. of the jade are all different. This requires us to observe and judge the jade materials based on the shape, size, texture, gloss, color, transparency, etc., so as to decide what kind of jade wares to create. It should be noted that the principle of "applying art in accordance with the material" must be strictly followed when processing Hetian jade. Because Hetian jade is precious, in order to minimize waste, it is necessary to choose suitable jade materials and carve suitable themes.

2. Design. After selecting the material, the next step is to design the jade article. The design of the jade article must combine the characteristics of the jade material, while at the same time highlighting the beauty of the jade material to achieve an attractive effect. Appropriate themes should be selected to express the characteristics of jade. The design also includes drawing the general pattern on the surface of the jade in preparation for carving. In addition, if problems are found during the carving process, the design plan should be modified in a timely manner.

3. Carving jade. Jade carving is the process of carving the shape of jade according to the design plan with the help of tools and materials. There are many techniques and tools for jade carving, which are quite professional. I will not go into details here. Interested friends can find relevant knowledge on this website.

4. Polishing. This is the last step in jade processing, and it also reflects the beauty of Hetian jade. Polishing is to use tools to grind the rough jade surface into finer pieces, polish it with polishing powder, and then wax and oil it, etc., to make the texture of the Hetian jade delicate, oily and smooth, so as to achieve the most beautiful effect.
