As the ancients said, jade can't be cut without cutting. Jade is regarded as a treasure because of its high hardness, high specific gravity, bright colors and scarce raw materials. So its processing technology is very particular. To sum up, it is mainly divided into four steps: inspection of appearance, thinking and creation, careful carving and polishing. Old Wang Yiyi will explain it to you below.
1, review appearance
To judge what jadeite is suitable for carving, we should carefully observe the skin, color, jade and germplasm of jadeite before carving, as well as the faceted shape, size and distribution of its jadeite color in the original stone. The so-called "foster strengths and avoid weaknesses", according to the materials, make the best use of everything, so that each jadeite finished product can achieve the best effect.
2. Thinking about creation
People in China pay attention to the pun of jade. Therefore, jade sculptors must skillfully blend flowers, birds, fish and insects into certain patterns according to the material of jade, or give them good luck, or entrust them with good wishes such as peace, longevity and celebration, or imply vigilance and self-encouragement.
3. Fine carving
Nowadays, jade carving is no longer a traditional "manual" carving, but uses various Jin Gangzuan grinding heads driven by high-speed motors to cut jade materials, but how to cut and what it looks like depends entirely on the efforts of the sculptor.
4. Grinding and polishing
Jade polishing generally has two ways: manual polishing and polishing machine polishing. The former is mostly used on bare jade articles, such as jade bracelets, jade buckles and rings. The latter is mainly used in Guanyin, Maitreya and various flowers.
The carving process is complex, which requires not only superb carving skills, but also emotional input and vitality to make the works full of vitality, which is also an important reason why jadeite is valuable.
