The floating flowers on jade are like the artistic conception of traditional Chinese ink-splashed landscape paintings, which are endless to savor and become more and more appealing the more you look at them. A well-made piece of jadeite with floating flowers often scores points for the floating flower part rather than the carving work. The so-called floating flowers refer to the scattered color shapes in the form of dots, ribbons, and strips on jade. Compared with full color, colors and shapes are scattered and irregularly distributed on jade. They have different shapes, forming a dreamy picture, which makes the interpretation of jade quite artistic and interesting. The value of jade is determined by its type, water, color, and workmanship, while floating flowers are just an additional element of jade. As added value, the factors affecting the value of jade include: flower shape, pattern, size, distribution, color, and the relationship between floating flowers and type and water. Floating flower shape There are many different shapes of floating flowers, and their quality must be judged by their appearance. The best ones are those with clear and organized veins, no turbidity or blur, appropriate color, and textured light effects. Small, void, soft, flower-shaped, color and natural transition of outline are the basic requirements for the shape of jadeite flowers. Since there is no unified definition of floating flowers in jade, some people also call the colors that appear in blocks, clusters, and clumps in jade floating flowers. Their colors vary in intensity, so they are considered based on area and shape. However, in this case, it is more appropriate to classify them as colored jade. Floating flower pattern The floating flowers on jade do not necessarily have only one shape, usually they appear in combination, such as dots + ribbons, ribbons + strips, etc. These color shapes, with the rendering of line contours and the background of jade material, form a beautiful picture and highlight a unique atmosphere. Heavy snow, sunset over the long river, singing birds and fragrant flowers, etc., are all patterns painted by the "combination" of floating flowers. They are the crystallization of nature, maintaining the balance of physical properties and conveying the feelings of ink and wash. The size of the floating flowers The size of the floating flowers in jadeite cannot be studied quantitatively, but can only be discussed qualitatively. However, this does not mean that all sizes and colors can be called floating flowers. If the color shape is too large and is close to a color block or a color cluster, it is no longer within the range of floating flowers and can only be said to be a component of the jade color. For a color like this, the bigger the better, of course, and full color is the largest block or cluster of color. As for floating flowers, taking the entire surface area of jade as a reference, the size of the floating flowers should be smaller in proportion, so as to match the charm of the floating flowers. Distribution of floating flowers There are two situations in the distribution of floating flowers on jade: one is unintentional, and the other is intentional. But whether intentional or unintentional, the distribution of floating flowers will definitely have a certain impact on the finished jadeite. Since different styles of jade have different meanings, there are different requirements for the distribution of floating flowers, and many patterns have specific location taboos. Therefore, if the distribution of floating flowers cleverly avoids taboo positions, it will naturally achieve the effect of icing on the cake. The color of floating flowers Generally speaking, the color of the floating flowers will be different from the base color of the jadeite, because if the two colors are too close, or even blend into each other, the floating flowers as a color shape will no longer exist. Generally, there are two kinds of floating flowers: green and blue, which are called green floating flowers and blue floating flowers respectively. We all know that jade is generally more valuable when it is green, so the value of green floating flowers is obviously the highest, followed by blue floating flowers. The relationship between floating flowers and species The relationship between floating flowers and species is a "positive correlation". In jadeite with good quality, that is, fine and dense structure, full water head and high transparency, the floating flowers also appear with clear veins and crystal clearness, which complement the quality. Good quality and water head can fully highlight the charm of the floating flowers. As for those jades with poor water content, such as oily green, glutinous, and bean types, these jades have a dry texture, and the floating flowers in them will inevitably lose their luster. There are two ways in which jadeite floating flowers grow on jadeite. First, the colors and shapes float on the surface of the jade, and their subtle features can be observed directly with the naked eye. Secondly, the color, shape and species are integrated, sinking into the jade, as if it has grown out of the jade. There is a huge difference between the two. The floating flowers that are a blend of jade and jadeite are more beautiful, like flowers blooming from jadeite, combining three-dimensional sense and elegance. However, the floating flowers floating on the surface of jade lack a certain three-dimensional sense and are relatively low in appreciation and collection value.
