The ancients said: Although jade has beautiful qualities, it is among the stones. If it is not worthy of being carved by a skilled craftsman, it will be no different from rubble. The ancient Chinese believed that the beauty of jade lies in carving, the beauty of jade comes from acquired factors, the beauty of jade comes from human efforts, and the beauty of jade lies in endless creation. The art of jade carving also has an 8,000-year history in Chinese history. As early as the late Neolithic Age, the Chinese nation had tools for working jade. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, jade processing became a profession, and jade articles became ceremonial tools and decorative accessories. The ancients used rotating wooden wheels dipped in sand and water, coupled with their unyielding perseverance and infinite intelligence and wisdom, to carve out exquisite jade artifacts. “Stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade” is a wise saying that reveals the true meaning of jade carving. In the jade carving industry, there is a jingle that describes the jade carving operations in the past: "A bright moon illuminates the universe, the vast sea of people is not deep, one can travel a thousand miles a day without moving, and his feet are suspended in the air like a god." Until now, the jade carving workers in the factory, while innovating technology, still uphold the ancients' excellent jade carving skills and their ancestors' hardworking and wise character. The carving of jadeite is the inheritance and innovation of traditional jade carving techniques. As the saying goes, jade cannot be made into a useful object without being polished. Every perfect piece of jade jewelry requires careful polishing by master craftsmen. Since jade has various colors, and the same piece of jade can have several different colors such as green, yellow, and purple, the color carving technique is very easy to use in jade carving, which provides craftsmen with more design space. The color-matching technique is like a stroke of inspiration, turning decay into magic, perfectly combining the beauty of jade material with the beauty of jade carving techniques, achieving a state of harmony between man and nature. In addition, traditional jade carving techniques such as hollowing and chain are also widely used in jade carving. Jade carving is not only a continuation of traditional jade carving techniques and craftsmanship, but also a heritage and development of the Chinese people's hardworking, wise, persistent and enterprising national spirit and the powerful and long-standing Chinese traditional culture. Since the beginning of civilization, the Chinese people's national sentiment of worshipping and loving jade has taken root. The wisdom of Eastern civilization shines brightly on jade. It is a shining pearl in the development of Chinese traditional culture and is worthy of our cherishing. Jade was introduced to China from Burma in the 16th century, and since then, jade has taken deep root in China. After a long historical evolution, the long-standing Chinese traditional culture and the king of jade - jadeite, have penetrated and sublimated each other, and gradually become closely integrated. Chinese traditional culture is fully reflected in jadeite. In today's 21st century, jadeite still defends its crown as the king of jade. When people appreciate jadeite, they not only stay at its crystal clear and lush appearance, but also pay attention to the cultural soul contained in it - Chinese traditional culture. fcgc66 fcpf18 |
