About Jade-Landscape Brand

That’s when I first came into contact with jade. In fact, Shanshui brand is still a very unfamiliar word. At that time, the ornaments that men wore were usually Guanyin, Chinese zodiac signs, peace lockets or Ruyi. At present, the meaning of landscape cards is to have a backer and a source of wealth, which is consistent with everyone's value orientation. Those who seek wealth seek its meaning. The noble people are full of love for the rich artistic conception and literary spirit of landscape cards.

Whether it is the "mountains look like mountains from the front and peaks from the side, with different distances and heights" that I memorized when I was a child, or the "rapid waterfall drops three thousand feet, as if the Milky Way falls from the sky". In Chinese culture, landscape culture has always been the mainstream culture. China's landscape is as inseparable from blood and life. On the vast land of the Chinese nation, there are lofty mountains, magnificent rivers, and infinite scenery. For a long time, many literati and elegant scholars have been fascinated by mountains and rivers, traveling around the world, admiring the ultimate scenery of the world, soothing the wounds of officialdom in the beautiful scenery, and creating many poems and paintings that have been passed down to this day.

In calligraphy collecting, landscape painting is in its own right. It comes alive and well under the painter's brush and ink. It may involve mountains and rivers by changing the scenery, or the ink color may outline the hazy and rainy Jiangnan, or it may be a poetic scene of a semi-fresco. This is the most profound feeling of the Chinese people. Many great collectors go to great lengths to acquire their favorite landscapes.

Art is interconnected. Jade carving and painting are inextricably linked. When some jade carving masters found it difficult to achieve self-breakthrough through traditional themes, they took a different approach and incorporated landscapes into jade carvings, which has become an unconventional creation in the jade carving industry in recent years.

A good landscape is the same as a good painting in terms of layout and coloring on a flat sheet of paper. A good landscape card must be three-dimensional on a flat surface and must be simple. However, through some marketing methods, market positioning, etc., many "extremely ugly" landscape brands have become the standard for many men. This is also a pitfall that should not be stepped on. The intricate carving is done to remove imperfections in the jade material. Some businessmen even say "no pattern, no landscape", which is actually an irresponsible statement. A good Shanshui card can also be perfect.

Let's take a look together at how the master who can create landscapes with just a few strokes handles and designs the carving, incorporates painting into jade, and integrates the shape and meaning of the landscape into an inch of jade. This small area contains a vast world of scenery, and uses a knife instead of a pen, going from shallow to deep, from complex to simple.

The winding path leads to a secluded place, where the Zen room is full of flowers and trees

The setting sun and the lone wild goose fly together, the autumn water and the sky are the same color
The spring tide brings rain in the evening, and the boat drifts alone at the wild crossing
Cut a wisp of fresh breeze, taste a cup of fragrant tea, and appreciate a fine jade landscape pendant in the endless time. You will find that in an instant, you are filled with fragrance and your heart is warm.

A good work must be an extension of the sculptor's spiritual realm and the materialization of the author's thoughts. It is the rich artistic conception and creative space of landscape plaques that make many jade carvers fascinated by it. They strive for perfection in creating landscape cards, hoping to carve more enchanting works.

Thousands of years of jade culture, thousands of years of jade carving history and thousands of years of pen and ink improvement are the products of cultural accumulation. They interpret the scenery of the motherland in an exquisite way and condense the accumulation of craftsmanship under the knife. So for those who want to get a Shanshui plaque but don't know how to avoid pitfalls, just look at the carving, material and appearance. Just like landscape painting, people's feelings about beauty and ugliness are basically the same.

Good landscape paintings are very expensive, and even the most exquisite paintings handed down from generation to generation may not be available for collection even if one has money. So, is there any way to make the dream of the one you love come true? Today, let’s talk about the beauty among jade ornaments - landscape pendant!

The emergence of landscape pendants is due to the perfect combination of jade itself and jade carving techniques. In this small space, the beautiful color of jade is used and freehand brushwork is used to depict rich connotations.

As we all know, there are countless types of jade pendants, including jade Buddha amulets, dragon and phoenix amulets, Ruyi, Lulutong, bamboo joints, peace buckles... Among so many pendants, there is one that best fits the traditional temperament of the Chinese people and is also the favorite of most jade players, the jade landscape pendant.

To be honest, I also particularly like jade landscape pendants. Why do you like jade landscape pendants?

Good material

Experts who love jade know that landscape pendants require not only exquisite carving, but also extremely sophisticated materials.

It not only requires the material to be as clean as possible, with a clean base and uniform color, but also needs to be of a certain size. Material that is too small can only be used to carve figures, flowers, birds, animals, etc. If used to carve landscape plaques, it will lack that kind of grandeur and artistic conception.

The materials used for jade landscape pendants are mostly old and long-lasting. Different jade pendants are suitable for different landscape paintings. Landscape carvings present a different visual effect of landscape paintings through relief or deep relief.

Many landscape carvings also incorporate poetry and text, including font design, which to some extent is an extension of landscape painting.

When carving landscape plaques with figures, the materials used are more picky, and the water quality and color must be good. It's okay to have flowers on other parts of your body, but not on your face. No one likes a face with pockmarks or freckles. Therefore, some flawed, mottled, and unevenly colored ones are not suitable for human figure sculptures!

"Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountains", the core of landscape plaques lies in the lingering feelings of being attached to the mountains and rivers. In order to find this feeling, some landscape carvings take half a year or even a year from design to carving, which is common in the jade carving industry.

"Measure the material and select it, and apply art according to the material." Jade carvers use the color differences of jade materials themselves to vividly show the interest of mountains and rivers, emphasizing the unity of form and spirit, and the combination of virtuality and reality.

The Jade Landscape Card uses landscape as the theme, with a knife instead of a brush. It is easy to understand, with distinct layers, and presents a three-dimensional texture. It seems that a vast world is contained in this small space, making people feel the vastness of the world.

High artistic conception

Throughout the ages, scholars and literati have expressed their feelings through landscapes, creating numerous excellent poems and paintings, and these masterpieces have resulted in the creation of elegant and refined jade landscape plaques. Jade landscape plaques combine poetry, calligraphy and painting, and are either fresh and elegant, or majestic, or leisurely in artistic conception.
