Polishing a rough jade will reveal a beautiful jade. The so-called "jade carving" means carving on natural jade raw materials. The original stones have different shapes and colors, and they need to be carved according to their shapes and colors, thus creating unique and ingenious carvings with beautiful colors. The skillful carving of colors is a technique in which jade workers use the color, skin color and texture of jade to integrate it into the creative subject matter to serve as the finishing touch. As a unique form of jade craftsmanship, skillful carving of colors is an extremely difficult skill in the jade industry. Since ancient times, before carving jade, the jade skin, stone inclusions, cracks and parts with poor color must be removed first before the craft can be applied. When the jade is first mined, it is not as pure white, smooth and translucent as people see later. Before processing, as a natural mineral, it often has a layer of stone covering on the outside of the jade, commonly known as jade skin. The texture of this jade skin is far less delicate and dense than the jade flesh inside. Jade carving artists often retain part of the original jade skin and integrate it into the jade carving through their own ingenious ideas to complete a variety of skillfully carved works. In addition to using the skin color of jade to create color matching, jade itself may have multiple colors coexisting. In order not to destroy the integrity and volume of the jade raw material, or to make the jade carving itself more valuable, jade carving masters will also use multiple colors to create color matching. Seeking change and pursuing excellence are the core essence of Qiao Se creation. This change is not without any rules, but is achieved by applying art in accordance with the material, pursuing the combination of formal beauty and craftsmanship. Specifically, there are eight categories. Color-enhancing carving of jade materials that require blemish concealment A colorful carving of jade with a specific shape and skin color The jade material is cleverly carved after the flaws are removed Skillfully carved according to the original color of the jade material Using the thickness of the jade skin to create a beautiful carving The colorful carvings are designed according to the shape The jade material has a distinct color contrast and is cleverly carved Clever carving through skin color transition Relatively speaking, when the jade carver pays more attention to the impression effect of the theme he expresses, there needs to be a slow transition between the main body and the base of the jade material. This transition can be a natural transition of the skin color, or it can be a transition effect produced by artificial polishing to gradually thin the skin color. This kind of color is mostly used to express mountains and rivers. In addition, animal fur can also be expressed in this way. The skin color and shape of each piece of jade are limited, but the thinking space for artistic creation is unlimited. Therefore, as long as you have a pair of eyes that know how to appreciate artistic beauty, you will feel the infinite charm brought by the clever carvings.
