Carving can hide the "clumsiness" and create "flowers"

Jadeware has the mission of recording history and the function of inheriting civilization. It is the embodiment of the idea that objects can convey moral truths, and it is the jadeite carvings that present this to people. From traditional themes of dragons and phoenixes to auspicious themes of fortune, wealth, longevity, happiness and fortune, jadeite fully demonstrates the charm of traditional Chinese jade culture.

Jade is made from a warm, tough material, and the utensils are made with ingenuity. A piece of jade needs to undergo special processing before it can become an object that people appreciate.

"The Book of Rites: Learning" says: "If jade is not carved, it will not become a useful tool." "The Book of Songs: Wei Feng: Qi Ao" says: "As if cutting, as if polishing; as if carving, as if grinding." Cutting, polishing, carving, and grinding summarize the basic methods used in ancient times to process ivory and jade. Therefore, in ancient times, jade processing was called carving jade and grinding jade, rather than carving jade or engraving jade.

Jade carving has a history of more than 7,000 years. The technique is difficult to master, and jade itself is very expensive, so the shape must be designed according to the characteristics of the jade material.

Artists in the Song Dynasty first invented the method of "clever color", which is to focus on utilizing the natural texture and color of the stone, selecting materials according to the material, applying art according to the material, using color cleverly, and avoiding cracks in the design. A piece of beautiful jade must go through tedious and meticulous processes such as material selection, cutting, peeling, grinding, and polishing before it can be carved into an artifact.

Jade carvings can be said to best reflect the beauty of jade and are the essence of traditional jade culture.

The jade carving technique makes jade material a unique and self-contained system that is different from other natural gem resources, and it also greatly affects the value of the finished product.
