The value and skills of jade carving

Today I will talk to you about the value and techniques of jade carving. Jade carving techniques include relief, round carving, hollow carving and so on. In fact, no matter which one, when carving jade, the three major standards of "cleverness, beauty and refinement" must be met as much as possible.

From the perspective of carving history, the skillful color carving technique was first created in the Song Dynasty. When carving, emphasis is placed on measuring materials, selecting materials according to the natural characteristics and colors of jade, applying techniques in accordance with the materials, and cleverly using colors. With the changes of the times, the advancement of carving technology and the improvement of people's aesthetic level, modern jade carving skills have inherited the excellent tradition of "clever color" while adding some new techniques, using the original color of jade to produce various unique styles of jade carvings.

In the inheritance of ancient craftsmanship, the current carving techniques are used in the application of jade carving colors. In addition to paying attention to cleverness, pretty, and color separation, let's take a look at the characteristics of these three techniques: Cleverness is the clever use of colors, allowing some seemingly inharmonious colors to be presented through carving techniques; Pretty color is to highlight the characteristics of colors on the basis of clever color. Its characteristic is that the rich colors of the raw materials are preserved and fully applied to the jade carving themes. It plays a finishing touch by showing vivid themes through different colors and levels.

Colorful carving

Compared with Qiao Se and Qiao Se, color separation is a new technology that has only appeared in recent years. It strictly distinguishes the different color parts that seem a bit muddy on the basis of Qiao Se. This is very difficult for jade carving. Because the formation of jadeite's color is not complicated, this requires jade carvers to not only have superb carving skills, but also to be familiar with all aspects of the jadeite raw materials and have the courage to experiment. Now, color separation has become one of the important evaluation criteria for an excellent modern jade carving work.

The value and skills of carving technology can refer to the following aspects:

Masterpieces

In museums and treasure houses, there are some jade carvings created by masters. With the same materials, the products are extraordinary due to the master's careful design and meticulous processing, which also reflects the master's comprehensive ability and level. The value of this kind of jade carving is far higher than that of ordinary jade carvings.

Special Process

The value of jade carvings with special craftsmanship, such as thin-body technique, beam-chain technique, and hollow technique, will also be increased. When evaluating jadeite articles that are made with special craftsmanship, we must see the hard work of the jadeite carving artists and be able to appreciate and understand how to appreciate it.

Color Art

Color matching is an artistic creation of jade carving. This kind of art can only be created according to the natural color and shape of the jade, "selecting materials according to the material" and "applying art according to the material". The creation is limited by many factors beyond human control, such as material shape, color changes, etc. The creation of an excellent color-matching work is very difficult and its value is also very high. In evaluating the use of color, it can be analyzed according to three levels: cleverness, prettyness, and uniqueness.

Surpassing the predecessors

Modern jade carvings have made breakthroughs in craftsmanship and bold attempts in the use of tools. When evaluating jade carving treasures and masterpieces, more analysis is done on the factors that constitute treasures and masterpieces, and a comprehensive analysis is conducted on the factors that constitute treasures and masterpieces, and similar works are compared. The value is evaluated using market, cost and other methods, and ultimately a correct value judgment is made.

In fact, each jade piece does not use just one carving technique, but a combination of several carving techniques. Therefore, every piece has its own carving secrets, and every jade piece is invaluable. Jade lovers, while appreciating the beauty of the work, you should also learn to appreciate its unique carving techniques.
