Jade Story Collection: Carving allows jade to tell its own story

Jade carving has always been a skill that combines both technique and artistic conception. Some people say that carving gives jade a unique meaning, but in fact, every piece of jade has its own story. A good carving master can see into their hearts and use his skillful hands to make them tell their stories.

Story 1:

Three thousand years ago, the powerful Shang Dynasty was destroyed by the Zhou Dynasty. The brutality of that war caused blood to flow, King Zhou burned himself to death, and the country changed hands. Several years later, on the other side of the ocean, a civilization suddenly emerged. They inherited a powerful civilization, built a huge altar, and worshiped the Dragon God. They predicted the end of the world a thousand years later. Until now, countless archaeologists have worked hard for generations but still cannot find out where they came from. They are the Mayans. Are their ancestors the remnants of that once glorious dynasty?

Story 2:

In the love nest, the mother bird takes good care of her unborn child. The tiny branches weave together to form a safe fortress. Before you learn to fly alone, home is your support.

Story 3:

The transformation of a fish into a dragon is a long process, often taking thousands of years. During this period, the changes occur bit by bit, and the tail, scales, claws, and horns become less and less like those of a fish. During this period of time, it absolutely cannot be seen by humans. If it is seen by humans, humans will say, "Look, a strange fish." Then it's over, the transformation will stop, and there will be no chance of successfully transforming into a dragon. So, being rude is such a terrible skill.

Story 4:

In ancient times, people believed that doing business was a process of harmonizing yin and yang. Only when everything was harmonious and deficiencies were met could money be made. Legend has it that Shen Wansan, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, owned a cornucopia that not only gathered wealth but also made money, which is why he was able to have a fortune. Legend has it that the treasure bowl contained the yin and yang of the universe, but Shen Wansan only knew how to take and did not know how to compensate, which eventually led to the collapse and destruction of the treasure bowl. Shen Wansan was also killed by Zhu Yuanzhang, who hated the rich, because he was rich enough to rival a country.
