Why do jade ornaments need a base?

As the saying goes, "The most beautiful scenery is on the top of the mountain." When we focus our attention on the top of the mountains, we often overlook the role of the cornerstone. The magnificent and majestic peaks are all supported and set off by every piece of stone under the peak. The same is true for jade carvings. With the support of the base, the integrity of the jade carvings will be enhanced, and the content and ideas to be conveyed will be more complete and full.

Jade carvings are usually large pieces, carved from raw jade stones. For such large ornaments, a good base is particularly important. Jade carvings and bases seem to be a natural pair that complement each other. Whether it is a visible base or a support hidden behind the work, the base is part of the complete jade carving.

It forms a harmonious whole with the jade carving. Any ornament placed on a base that is cleverly conceived but not overshadowing the main feature will elevate the grade of the work to a high level. The preparation of the base must be based on conception and ingenuity, so the craftsman who configures the base needs to have a certain level of artistic appreciation and be able to combine artistic aesthetics in order to have a high level of creativity to carve the base.

When people appreciate jade carvings, they often forget the figure that supports the jade carving. It is not that they ignore it, but rather they regard them as one. In people's cognition, the base is part of the jade carving. The base, without the brilliance of the jade ornaments, can make the entire work appear more imposing.

The bases of jade carvings are mostly made of wood. The combination of dark wood and bright jade, one light and one dark, creates a very vivid visual experience. It not only highlights the gorgeousness of jade, but also visually reconciles the two, achieving a harmonious beauty.

An excellent jade carving base not only has its own beautiful shape, but also can fully guarantee the tasks and roles it undertakes, playing a positive functional role and aesthetic value, so don't underestimate the role of the base.
