Jadeite Floating Flower Ox Brand----Appreciation

The jade cow is one of the commonly used themes in jade creation; such as the work "Laozi Comes Out of Seclusion and Asks the Shepherd Boy for Advice". The cow in the work is an image that combines spirit and meaning. In ancient times, cows were the representatives of kindness and diligence. They were honest, hardworking, unknown and selfless. Now we also use "Niuren" to describe a person who is great, such as "Niuqi Chongtian", which inspires people to be positive and full of confidence in life. "Niu" is homophonic to "niu", which means to create something that can turn the tide.

This jade work takes buffalo as its theme, with lively carving and alternation of virtual and real. The raw stone of the work is an oval bracelet core, glutinous ice type, some parts may be ice type, mainly floating flowers, the raw stone structure is moderate, no granular feeling, perfect without cracks. The craftsmanship is hollowing out, with the theme of buffaloes playing in the water. The jade with floating black flowers is carved into two buffaloes, one big and one small, who are standing one in front and one behind, playing happily and joyfully. The buffalo has a strong body and holds its head high, giving people a "strong and vigorous" feeling, showing its full vigor. The parts of the jade with better transparency are carved to look like rice ears connected to the buffalo's mouth and water droplets spraying from its nose. This kind of color selection carving can make the work closer to natural objects, more vivid and lively. The rice ears have a profound meaning and represent harvest, symbolizing joy and auspiciousness. Together with the theme, they embody the idea that “if you keep going, you will gain.” With people's pursuit of fashion and cultural inheritance, the cow design with jade as the theme embodies our country's traditional culture and fashion, making the seemingly strong body of the jade cow more delicate and tender. Coupled with the author's color-picking design and exquisite craftsmanship, it blends the meaning of harvest and hope. Wearing it further highlights the character of "Cow People", and the meaning of harvest makes everyone love it.
