The beauty of jade carving

The beauty of jade carving

One of the characteristics of Chinese jade culture is that the beauty of jade is likened to human virtues, and the image of jade is personified. Jade carvings are the spiritual sustenance of ancient and modern people, and a vehicle for expressing emotions. Imprinted on the naturally beautiful jade are the thoughts, wishes, feelings, artistic conception, etc. of the craftsman or master. These feelings are first expressed through various patterns formed by craftsmanship. Therefore, the appreciation of jade carvings starts from the meaning of the patterns, symbols, and words in the works. The beauty of jade carving reflects the beauty of the color of the jade itself, which is the original intention of every carving craftsman.

Works: Wealth and Honor
The peony's natural fragrance and beauty are not only stunning, but it is also often used to symbolize noble, elegant and graceful people. It also means: wealth, good fortune and perfection.

Works: A Bright Future

The eagle symbolizes freedom, strength and victory.

Meaning: Have great ambitions and a bright future!

Work "Listening to Buddha"

I heard from Buddha that fame and fortune are illusory and one should be indifferent to them. The prosperity of the world will fade away in a day. When one realizes that there is no self in this world, one can reach paradise with compassion.

Works: Dream of Jiangnan

Works: Auspicious

[Auspiciousness] "Auspicious beasts" are China's spiritual creatures, China's totems, and symbols of royal power. They are endowed with rich connotations by the Chinese people and also embody people's yearning for a better life! The combination of auspicious animals and jade perfectly embodies people's expression of good wishes.

Work "Buddha Seen When Flowers Bloom"

There is a saying in Buddhism that "Buddha nature is revealed when the flower blooms." The flower here refers to the lotus, which means the wisdom and realm of the lotus. The lotus grows out of the mud but remains unstained by it, symbolizing Buddha’s transcendence of the mundane world and the emptiness of the four elements; the lotus flower dies but the root remains, and it blooms again the following year, symbolizing that the soul continues to cycle through reincarnation after death.

Jade has rich and bright colors, delicate and transparent texture, and a bright luster. It has conquered the world with its unique noble qualities and charm. The beauty of jade mainly lies in the natural beauty of the material, the beauty of the carving craftsmanship and the beauty of social implications. Every jade product is a perfect embodiment of the combination of these three.
