An alternative interpretation of black jade, this design is more charming

The most feared thing when doing jade carving is that one's thinking is limited by existing concepts and is not broad-minded enough. What is most needed is someone who dares to work hard on materials and themes and dares to use the knife. Young jade carver Cai Zilin integrates his interests into his signature - "living stone". The "liveliness" of his works can be seen at a glance in his black jadeite creations.

Black jadeite, the overly strong green appears black in our eyes, but when given a beam of light, the black turns into green, stunning, steady, deep and full of connotation. Love it, of course.

In the jade carving industry, common black jade works are mostly Buddhist themes, such as Guanyin, Buddha, Zhong Kui, etc. There is a lot of beauty in black jade worth exploring. The inheritor of intangible cultural heritage and the first-generation founder of "Mo's Ancient Jade Carving" used his carving knife to show us another kind of beauty of black jadeite. In terms of subject matter, it is not limited to Buddhist themes, but incorporates more elements; in terms of style, based on the warm characteristics of the jade itself, the works achieve a harmonious unity with the jade itself in terms of lines and shapes.

The work expresses the unstoppable momentum of time through the shape of the sword, and depicts a sense of heaviness, fluidity and power through the combination of line and surface patterns, conveying the author's awe of the historical past and time... The shape of the sword is presented with black jade and inlay techniques, which is relatively complex and interesting. It presents a three-dimensional effect with simple lines, which is simple, elegant and unique. It means to follow your heart and move forward courageously.

The work uses double-sided round carving technique to depict the Taotie designs from two different periods, which are either simple or complex, virtual or real. The large areas of white space and unique shapes leave people with unlimited imagination. The knife technique is clean and neat, the lines are smooth, and the work is completed in one go, with exquisite workmanship. His eyes were wide open, giving people a sense of intimidating power.

The work features a finely crafted eagle head with feathers that flutter smoothly and vigorously; a sharp steel beak, fierce eyes, piercing gaze, and clear edges and corners, exuding an imposing heroic spirit. The work pursues vividness of form and spirit, and the eagle created is desolate and passionate, majestic and calm, and heroic.
