Jade Appreciation | Descendants of the dragon deserve the dragon’s blessing!
|
The dragon is the totem of the Chinese nation and a symbol of traditional culture. Throughout thousands of years of history, it has the most mysterious color and the most profound imprint. Among the twelve Chinese zodiac animals, the dragon is the only mythical creature that is not real. Although it is difficult to find the trace of a dragon, all Chinese people are proud to be descendants of the dragon. To the East, the dragon is not only a sign of good fortune and a symbol, but also the spiritual bond of the Chinese nation. It is an existence that does not exist . The Han dragons are celestial, the Tang dragons are agile; the Song dragons are heavy, the Yuan dragons are fierce; the Ming dragons are magnificent, the Qing dragons are agile. The dragon of each era is endowed with different historical missions and the people's infinite longing for a better life. As a carved image, the auspicious dragon has been embedded in jade since ancient times. Out of respect for the dragon god, jade dragon carvings are always realistic and vivid, with flexible use of various carving techniques such as deep relief, shallow relief, three-dimensional round carving or a combination of multiple techniques. Taking the dragon plaque as an example, the overall layout and expression techniques may be complex or simple, sparse or dense, with large areas of blank space, finely carved details, or freehand flowing clouds . The posture of the auspicious dragon is also rich and varied, sometimes coiled and plump, sometimes only the head and tail are visible, sometimes playing with pearls, sometimes spitting water, or riding on clouds . No matter what expression technique is used, we strive to present its majesty, mystery, dignity, power, and auspiciousness, making the jade and the dragon appear natural and one. The jade carver uses the dragon as a carrier and borrows the dragon's charm to convey the spiritual power, auspicious wishes and longing for a better life that have lasted for thousands of years. The descendants of the dragon deserve the dragon's blessing!
