zhenping jade carving
Zhenping county is located in the southwest of Henan Province, the northwest of Nanyang Basin and the south foot of Funiu Mountain. It governs 12 town and 1 1 township, with a total population of 930,000 and a total area of 1500 square kilometers. It is one of the "pilot counties for comprehensive reform in the whole province" and "demonstration counties for civilized construction of villages and towns in China", and it is also the "hometown of jade carving in China" named by the state. The ancestors of zhenping county began to grind jade in Neolithic Age more than 4,000 years ago, and the jade carving industry gradually expanded in Song and Yuan Dynasties. Since the reform and opening up, zhenping county has transformed this traditional technological advantage into an industrial advantage, and the jade carving industry has shown a booming situation. 1March, 1995, it was jointly named as "the hometown of jade carving in China" by the Ministry of Agriculture of China and other five departments.
Jade has always occupied a very important position in the traditional culture of China, and jade culture can be said to be an obvious symbol of China culture. Confucius said, "A gentleman is better than jade." Therefore, there is a saying in the history of China that "a gentleman never leaves his body". In the eyes of China people, jade's character can be summed up in two words: "Wen" and "Run". This is also the requirement of China traditional culture for personality realm.
Historically, Hetian jade produced in Xinjiang, xiuyan jade produced in Liaoning, dushan jade produced in Nanyang, Henan, and turquoise produced in Yunxian County, Hubei were commonly referred to as the "four famous jade" in China.
Nanyang jade culture has a long history, which can be traced back to the Neolithic Age. The oldest jade articles discovered so far are Duyu shovel and Yu Ying unearthed from Yang Yun cultural site in Huangshan Mountain (now Wolong District, Nanyang) 5000 years ago. Jade carvings in this period are mostly in three series: straight, curved and compound, such as cymbals symbolizing kingship, sacred jade and jade symbolizing heaven. There are also "historical symbols" with similar technical traces on cymbals, jade, jade and other ritual vessels. This profound prehistoric jade culture laid the first cornerstone for Chinese civilization.
1975 In March, two jade shovels were unearthed in anguo city, 3 miles northeast of Zhenping County. After identification, it belongs to the early summer work and is probably the earliest jade left by the Chu people. Subsequently, jade bi and jade Zhang were unearthed in some places in Nanyang basin. "Zhou Li Great Jade Silk" records: "Jade is a jade product, which is used to respect the four corners of the world. The sky is blue, the south is Huangyan, and the south is Zhang Chi ..." The above-mentioned Cangbi, Zhang Chi and Huangyan are actually one of the ritual systems, indicating that the jade culture in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties is in the era of ritual systems, and the creative style and artistic techniques in this period are exaggerated.
In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, jade culture has developed to a stage that greatly transcends the natural attributes of jade, making jade the embodiment of a gentleman, endowing jade with the connotation of virtue and personification, and freeing it from the control of divine power and kingship. The so-called "jade has eleven virtues" is obviously the personification of jade.
Jade culture in Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties was covered with a mysterious feudal color. A large number of jade articles were unearthed from Han tombs in Nanyang. These jade burials mainly include pills, jade inclusions and hand-cranked jade, which the ancients thought could make the body immortal.
By the Han dynasty, Nanyang jade had been mined and carved in large quantities, and the grand occasion was considerable. It used to be a jade processing and carving area, and there were two rows of workshops on a street, and the sound of cutting jade was endless. At least in the Western Han Dynasty, Nanyang jade carving has reached a considerable scale. Now Shagangdian at the foot of Dushan still retains the site of Yujie Temple in Han Dynasty. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, Nanyang jade carving gradually developed from a simple tribute for nobles to an ornament and a living vessel.
Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, under the influence of painting art, jade artists have skillfully dealt with the relationship between form and spirit, bone and flesh, and new jade articles with Buddhism, figures and flowers and birds have appeared, which has pushed jade articles into the art palace and made jade culture show a new trend of secularization and life. During the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the jade carving technology was significantly improved, and the "Jade Garden" was established in the palace. At the same time, the folk jade industry has become increasingly developed and jade articles have become popular.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Nanyang jade carvings were very rich in variety. After Qing Dynasty, Nanyang jade carving has become a big industry, and the development and utilization of dushan jade has been paid much attention, and great progress has been made in the research, mining, carving and marketing of mineral deposits. Especially since the reform and opening up, the prestigious Nanyang jade carving industry has attracted a large number of laymen, thus making dushan jade known, appreciated and accepted by more people.
There are many colors in Nanyang dushan jade, including red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple. Bright color, high hardness, good luster, fine texture and high transparency. It is a good raw material for carving jade, comparable to jadeite, and was once called "Nanyang Jade" by the world.
Jade carving products can be divided into four categories: figures, flowers and birds, animals and utensils. Most of these characters are based on myths and legends and ancient opera stories. There are 23 species of flowers and birds, such as a hundred birds against a phoenix, a magpie making a plum, a phoenix peony, a long-tailed bird screen, etc. There are 16 kinds of walking covers, lions, elephants, tigers, cows and horses. The artifacts are Yucheng, Yuhuan, converter, birds and animals, benevolent women and so on. Exquisite carving skill, complex knife method and profound meaning. There are rings, bracelets and earrings. Modern artists not only inherited the traditional carving, but also integrated the painting style of Chinese painting, such as landscapes, figures, flowers and birds, which further enriched the patterns of jade carving and made it more ornamental. After the painstaking research of jade carving artists in past dynasties, it gradually formed the characteristics of "taking art for meaning and making a living by color".
After thousands of years of vigorous development of jade carving industry, Nanyang jade carving artists and superb technology have been trained from generation to generation. While inheriting the traditional crafts, Nanyang jade carving masters constantly introduce, absorb and innovate artistic design and carving techniques. It is the combination of a long history, profound cultural heritage and unique jade resources that makes Nanyang jade carving, an artistic treasure, passed down from generation to generation and carried forward, and amazing works are constantly coming out. Up to now, more than 40 masterpieces designed and carved by Nanyang jade carving masters, such as Wolong Mountain, Flowers in Kowloon, Liuhe Tongchun, Wan Li Great Wall and Jiulong Village, have won national and provincial awards successively, and many products have been collected as rare treasures by the Palace Museum, art galleries and collectors.
Known as a "national treasure", the jade article "Looking down on the mountains and the jade sea" weighing 3500 kilograms is the earliest and largest giant jade carving in China history, an epoch-making artistic treasure in China and a rare masterpiece in the history of jade carving development in the world. However, for more than 700 years, there have been different opinions on its jade material and it has not been identified. Recently, the China Gem and Jade Culture High-level Forum sponsored by the China Traditional Culture Promotion Association of the Ministry of Culture and the Asian Jewelry Federation was held in the Great Hall of the People. At the forum, after careful observation and research by more than 20 well-known experts in jade archaeology and collection in China, and repeated comparison and identification with samples of dushan jade mine in Nanyang, it was determined that the jade material of "light mountains and jade seas" in Yuan Dynasty now displayed in Tuancheng of Beijing Beihai Park was dushan jade in Nanyang. At this point, a "cold case" has been finalized.
At present, Nanyang Zhenping has become a world-famous hometown of jade carving, and countless people are engaged in jade carving. Zhenping people who handle jade carving products can be seen all over the world.
