This piece of jadeite raw stone with very poor water content has extraordinary significance after being carved by him!

We all know that jade is not born beautiful. Even after removing the black and gray skin, the jade carver still needs to repeatedly conceive and design the work before it can be perfectly presented to everyone.

This piece is an exquisite little ornament. The clever thing is that only the middle half is carved, with the original stone skin retained on both ends.

The surface of the raw stone is rough, but the jadeite has a delicate texture, especially after polishing and grinding, it will have a lustrous luster.

In fact, the jade carver cleverly resolved the drawback. The color of this raw stone is very good, with a uniform and rich full green, but it lacks water. The whole thing looks very dry, and it is difficult to make a good-looking finished product. In order not to waste this piece of jade raw stone, the jade carver carved a few ants in the exposed areas, and the whole work suddenly became of extraordinary significance. As the saying goes: "The work must have meaning, and the meaning must be auspicious", so what are the meanings of jade ants?

Meaning 1: Hardworking

Ants work hard every day, working from sunrise to sunset and resting at sunset, and storing the food they collect. Therefore, the emerald ant has the meaning of encouraging people to work hard.

Meaning 2: Strength

Ants are small animals in the animal kingdom, but they have great strength. They can lift objects that are 400 times more than their own weight and drag objects that are more than 1,700 times their own weight. It is amazing. Therefore, the emerald ant symbolizes being strong and powerful.

Meaning 3: Unity and cooperation

Ants are relatively small in size, and when faced with huge amounts of food, they often "call friends" and gather many companions to help carry the food together, supporting and cooperating with each other. Therefore, the emerald ant symbolizes unity and cooperation.

Meaning 4: Money rolling in

Ants work hard all their lives, so they collect a lot of food without realizing it. In addition, ants are relatively frugal and never waste food, so they can accumulate wealth. The emerald ant therefore symbolizes a steady flow of wealth and prosperity.

Although I have some understanding of the classification and living habits of ants, I never thought that when they were introduced into jade carvings and carved into jade ants, they actually contained such profound cultural implications.
