This kind of jadeite reduces the carving very little, but leaves a lot for imagination

Not all jade needs to be carved, just as not all flowers have to wait for spring to bloom. Many jades are "naturally beautiful". The most beautiful things come from nature, and not all jade needs to be carved. It is naturally interesting without any carving, and has countless images. The beauty of jade from nature lies in not carving or carving less.

The highest level of jade carving is to have little carving or no carving. Because one less carving stroke is required, the beauty of the material is increased, giving people more room for imagination.

The less there is to carve, the less specific the image is and the richer the aesthetic orientation is. But it is actually very difficult to do less, especially for jade carving, because it is difficult to choose due to the materials. Each material has different shapes, colors, water quality, cracks, etc. If you don’t make the right choice, good materials will be ground into bad materials, not to mention the shape.

Jade is a material with countless variations. If you design the carving in advance, you will miss the most beautiful moment of the material during the carving process and get a desired finished product, and it will be difficult to have unexpected surprises. Nor can she (Jade) be what she wants to be. If we want to make the jade become what we want it to be, we should create the space instead of the image according to the cracks, flaws, texture, color, shape, water head, etc. of the jade material.

This is the suggestiveness of the material. She (jade) will guide us to move forward. It is actually very difficult to do this. We need a lot of time and patience to communicate with her (jade). We must always experience her (jade material) changes and feelings (ours). Only in this way can we grasp her most beautiful moments, she can become the most beautiful her, we can break through our own ideas, and have surprises.

Perfect jade does not require any carving. Just by looking at it quietly, you can feel the unique beauty that this magical stone brings to us.

There is a rule in collecting, which is " scarcity makes things valuable ." Rarity is the essential attribute of jade. In layman's terms, it is called a "precious stone" because the stone is rare. The rarity of jade is determined by its naturalness. The highest level of human art is to reproduce nature, and the highest evaluation people give to their artistic activities is "exquisite craftsmanship".

Artificial things can be praised for their exquisite craftsmanship, but the fundamental reason for the "wonder" of jade is its "natural generation", which does not depend on human will and actions. Therefore, the rarity of jadeite lies in, firstly, the overall quantity of the stone and, secondly, its non-renewability.

When it comes to jadeite, what matters is always its natural beauty, like a lotus emerging from clear water. Once processed into “heavy pink” jade, it will lose the unique aura of jade. Jade is a quiet stone. It doesn't speak sweet words or try hard to please others. It just stands aside and watches people coming and going, always looking quiet. Beautiful jade is captivating, beautiful women are enchanted by jade, and beautiful jade has a soul because of people.
