Judging from the quality alone, this material is obviously of poor quality. It is almost invisible when the light is on, which shows that the water is short. Fortunately, there are rich colors, which give this "ordinary" material a certain degree of creativity. But this unique feature cannot cover up the defect of the material itself being of low water content. If it is carved into an ordinary plaque or other popular types of pendants, no matter how exquisite the carving is, it will be difficult to stand out! Therefore, jade carvers can only find another way and design in a more niche direction! First, carve the main body into branches. The mottled patterns can roughly weaken the visual effect of the "dry" material. Then the carving is done to make the yellow part into a ruyi, which means "everything goes well". After the carving and polishing processes are completed, the material looks like the picture above. I think there are probably many friends who don’t understand what this is! At first glance, it looks like a decoration? Or a pendant? Actually, neither is true! Only after inlaying can it be considered the final product. After adding a head and a tail to it, the jade carver’s real design appears – a pipe ! The pipe, as the most primitive way of smoking, has been replaced by cigarettes, which are more convenient and quicker. But friends who have really tried the pipe should be able to feel that it has a sense of ritual that cannot be matched by cigarettes! If cigarettes are the taste of fast food, then pipes are the full banquet that needs to be savored slowly and step by step. Of course, although this pipe has a certain practicality, it is essentially a toy. It is more suitable to be played in the hands. Even without lighting, it is still elegant and pleasant, with a bit of the leisurely elegance of the ancients who said, "If you only know the fun of the piano, why bother with the sound of the strings?"
