Learn the skills of jade carving:

Any kind of handicraft is made of raw materials through a certain process. Root carving is the most natural, but it also needs people to go through technical processing to develop its artistic interest and make it a complete work of art. As for jade carving, it needs complicated technological processing to create a perfect jade carving. Therefore, for jade carving, technology is fundamental and foundation. However, pure technology itself cannot become a superior work of art, and the reason why it becomes a work of art lies in its high artistic appreciation value. Modern processing technology can make jade carving delicate, smooth, exquisite and exquisite, but it can only conquer people technically, but not infect people artistically. Only by adopting the most appropriate form, fully and perfectly embodying the theme to be expressed, and integrating technology with art, can it become a work of art, infecting and shocking people in art.

According to the shape, color and texture of a piece of jade, the author began to conceive, what theme to choose, how to compose, how to choose and how to express. This is not only a technical problem, but also an artistic problem. Generally speaking, how to express it is a technical problem, and how to express it well is an artistic problem; How to make the image realistic is a technical problem, and how to make it more beautiful and charming is an artistic problem. Technology is more important than reproduction, objectivity is the main factor, art is more important than expression, and subjectivity is the main factor.

Technology can be passed on, from master to apprentice, and even from generation to generation. Art can also be inherited, but it can only inherit its laws and rules, and cannot be applied and eaten alive.

Jade carving is an art of tempering will. Without a long and arduous process of practice, it is impossible to achieve success. Cutting jade depends not only on passion, but also on will, endurance and softness. It is more difficult to improve the artistic level than the technical level. The artistic level is closely related to the author's ideology, cultural accomplishment, artistic quality, aesthetic concept, life experience, moral norms, personal sentiment, personality characteristics and inspiration. It can be said that technology depends on diligence and art depends on talent. The so-called talent, not innate, but a comprehensive product of the above factors. Only by mastering the laws of art and the laws of art can we draw inferences from others and become a skilled master.
