Jade carving, one inch of work costs ten taels of gold!

Jade carving, one inch of work costs ten taels of gold!

Xunzi said: "If you keep carving, you can carve gold and stone; if you stop carving, you can't even break rotten wood."

Carving is a job that tests one's patience, and often requires sitting still for more than 10 hours. When facing a piece of material, try to understand it carefully so as not to let down hundreds of millions of years of waiting!

Faced with this complex world, everyone has been lost and without direction. It is better to do something small that you like first. No one knows the best way out at the beginning. Only by doing it can you find the right direction.

Wang Guowei once summarized the three levels of learning.

The first is to have lofty aspirations, "Last night the west wind withered the green trees, I climbed the high building alone and looked at the endless road to the horizon";

The second is perseverance, "I will never regret even if my clothes become looser and looser, and I will become haggard for her";

The third is the state of success, "When I look back suddenly, that person is standing in the dim light."

The same goes for carving design. Only by being focused and persistent can you achieve success.

At the beginning, I worked with full enthusiasm and handled every piece of material carefully. I was happy for learning something, annoyed and uneasy for making stupid mistakes, attentive and happy for taking on a job, and satisfied for getting a little affirmation.

These are enough to make me happy for a long time after I finish a work. Even if I only eat bread and look at the dark night outside the window, I can smile happily. These can make me persist again and again, no matter how many setbacks and oppositions I face.

Jade carvings have always had the highest gold content. Jade materials come in a variety of colors, each piece is different, and each piece of material is unique!

A piece of old and colorful material costs tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. To make a piece that is worthy of the material, it takes several years of experience!

Of course, it would be possible to have a few years of experience, but for a craftsman who has not come into contact with mid- to high-end materials, it would be even more difficult to handle the goods once they encounter water-colored goods!

There are many materials that require careful design. Although they are not valuable in themselves, their value can be greatly increased through design ideas!

There is no waste in jade, it’s just that you haven’t met the right person!
