Jade Appreciation | Jadeite takes you on a tour of the mountains and rivers~

The world is so big, I want to see it.

Look at the mountains, the water, the misty Jiangnan, that paradise on earth.

However, not everyone has the courage to go on a spontaneous trip.

Most people can only feel the grandeur and elegance of the earth and mountains through other means, such as photos, paintings, and jade carvings.

Landscapes are a common theme in jade carvings and have remained popular for thousands of years.

Each landscape jade carving has many common elements, such as continuous mountains, flowing water, flowers and trees, pavilions, or a small boat, a fisherman fishing, etc. They seem to be the same, but they are different in every place and have their own charm.

Now, let Feicui take you on a tour of the mountains and rivers.

The jade is icy and delicate, the color is bright and vivid, the floating flowers are lively, and the smudges are natural.

The jade is translucent and delicate, the emerald green is bright and vivid, and the overall look is lush and green.

There are thousands of peaks, lush green peaks, flowers blooming and water flowing, birds flying high and people staying. Draw a picture of a light boat holding a paddle, and enjoy the view of mountains and water.

A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains by Zou Wantong

The majestic atmosphere of rivers and mountains, which seem thousands of miles away, and the type, water and color of jade, unify the continuous pictures in the visual movement process in the space of imagination, depicting the magnificent mountains and rivers with thousands of mountains and valleys and crisscrossing rivers. It is a classic among jade landscape works.

The work depicts meticulous conception, delicate knifework and bright colors, unifying the entire poetic picture in a dark green tone, pushing the green and blue landscape of jadeite to a new height, absolutely!

A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains (partial) Wang Ximeng, Northern Song Dynasty

"A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is the pinnacle of Northern Song Dynasty landscape painting and a typical green landscape work. It was created by Wang Ximeng, a "disciple of the emperor" during the reign of Emperor Huizong. It embodies his imagined "landscapes in a dream". Although it is only a short distance away, it seems as if all the mountains and rivers in the world are within sight.

The composition of the entire picture is carefully arranged, which is both tight and compact yet well-organized, with a strong sense of rhythm, striving to depict the natural landscape in great detail. The roads in Yuzhong are winding and tortuous, and each road has its own origin and destination. Some roads point to a village, some to a temple, and some are hidden behind the mountains and lead to the mountains. Behind jade carving lies skill.

Under the light, the changes in color show the scenery of mountains and rivers to the fullest, just like natural color raw materials, with transitions from light to dark, and distinct colors that echo the scenery in the jade.
