Jade carving art and color matching techniques

An exquisite and noble jade product not only requires natural perfect jade quality, but also requires a jade sculptor with superb craftsmanship to fully discover and display the beauty of the jade raw material itself. It is like a thousand-mile horse meeting a good horse trainer. If the thousand-mile horse does not meet a good horse trainer, it can only be an ordinary horse. The key to jade carving is for the jade carving master to make a piece of raw jade into a superb work of art through carving and polishing. A good sculptor is a master who can enhance the artistic value, economic value and collection value of jade, rather than a master who is simply selected through evaluation.

Jade color matching technology brings out the beauty of jade to the extreme

my country's jade carving technology has always been unique in the world. So when did the jade carving technique begin to develop in my country? Jadeite became popular in the mid-Qing Dynasty, and traditional jade carving techniques were inherited into jadeite carving. To sum up, the main jade carving techniques in my country include line engraving, thin carving, relief carving, round carving, hollow carving, color carving, inner carving, and concave carving, etc. Each carving technique can be combined with other carving techniques or used alone, which depends on the creativity and skills of the sculptor. If used properly, it will create very beautiful works and achieve the perfect state of harmony between man and nature.

Qiao carving, also known as Qiao Se, is an artistic creation of jade carving. Color matching is a special craft in which jade workers skillfully design and apply the natural color and texture of jade materials, and apply carving techniques suitable for jade materials to make the shape and color of the work achieve a natural and perfect artistic effect. This art is different from painting, colored sculpture, lacquer carving and enamel. This art can only be created according to the natural color and natural shape of the jade, "selecting materials according to the materials" and "applying art according to the materials". The creation is limited by many factors such as material shape and color changes. A good piece of color-matching work is very difficult to create and its value is also very high.

The Beauty of Jade Carving Art

Since ancient times, people have believed that jade has the function of praying for blessings, bringing good luck, warding off evil and eliminating disasters. Because it expresses the common wishes of the people, jade jewelry is widely accepted and worn. Jade jewelry often uses images of people, animals, flowers, birds, utensils, and some traditional Chinese shapes such as auspicious characters, with folk proverbs, auspicious words and myths as themes, and through metaphors, similes, puns, symbols and homophones, it forms an expression form of "one auspicious word and one pattern", reflecting people's pursuit and yearning for a better life.

The art of jade carving is the highest level pursued by every piece of jade, and it is also the most difficult to achieve. Anything that is lively and has both form and spirit is an expression of artistic beauty and reflects its rich collection value. On the contrary, works with poor craftsmanship, inferior techniques, blind imitations, and violations of artistic beauty will have much less appreciation value. Therefore, when collecting jadeite, in addition to paying attention to the material of the jade, we should also pay attention to the craftsmanship of the jade and the artistry of the jade. The reason is simple. The better the material of the jade, the rarer its reserves in nature, the more difficult it is to process and the higher its value.

Every jade sculptor pursues the beauty of artistic conception when carving. Artistic conception is the mood and state expressed in literary and artistic works or natural scenes. Artistic conception refers to the poetic space presented in lyrical works, where emotions and scenes blend together, the real and the imaginary coexist, and the rhythm of life is active and full of infinite charm.

The beauty of artistic conception is different from the beauty of form, which is implicit, hidden and difficult to distinguish; the appreciation of artistic conception is expressed as the unity of real images and virtual associations. The image created by the artist is real, the image aroused in our imagination is virtual, and the image realm produced by the image is a combination of the real and the virtual. The creation of artistic conception is a kind of classical oriental psychology that emphasizes the generation of infinite images inwardly and transcendentally. It attaches importance to the association and triggering of the objectively existing "reason, matter, and emotion" from interest to understanding, pursues "the leisurely heart understanding, the wonderfulness is hard to tell you", and attaches importance to "looking back suddenly, that person is standing in the dim light".

When appreciating the craftsmanship of a jade jewelry, the first thing to look at is the shape, which is the aesthetic framework of the jade jewelry and is also an important factor in determining the collection value of jade. The shape is determined by the function and the shape of the jade blank, and the proportions should be appropriately balanced. A work of beauty is symmetrical but not rigid, balanced and stable. The second is the patterns. Patterns are the decoration of jade articles, and their beauty or ugliness can be easily perceived and felt by people.
