The small courtyard in Tengchong is located in this ancient city with a long history, and I deeply admire this inheritance. Therefore, in April, we held the theme activity of "Tengchong Pride, Ingenuity Inheritance" in the name of finding the story of craftsmen and learning from Tengchong for thousands of years, paying tribute to Tengchong craftsmen!
Carve your heart like jade and cherish it like a mirror. The first issue of Small Garden invited Yang Shuming, a famous jade carving master in Tengchong, to share his "Emerald Life" with us.
Yang Shuming, who looks modest and low-key, has actually won many honors. He was awarded "China Young Jade Carver", "China Jade Carver" and "Asian Jade Carver" successively. (from Baidu Encyclopedia)
He has been deeply involved in jade carving for 26 years. In these 26 years of ups and downs, he never gave up his beloved craft. In the later period, the company Shuming Jade Carving was founded, which trained a large number of jade carving talents and made positive contributions to promoting the development of Tengchong jade culture industry, revitalizing the local economy and promoting jade culture.
Jade comes out of Tengchong. Behind this arrogant statement, it is by no means to praise Tengchong's excellent jade raw materials, but to affirm that the jade culture has gradually developed from the occurrence, development and prosperity on the horseback of Tengchong caravan, in the management of Tengchong merchants and under the carving knife of Tengchong craftsmen.
Nowadays, some traditional crafts are on the verge of extinction, and the jade carving technology in Tengchong has attracted much attention in the local area. This may be related to the glorious history of Tengchong jade's mutual achievement, and of course it is inseparable from the ingenious inheritance of Tengchong jade carving craftsmen like Yang Shuming.
After showing us the long history of Tengchong Jade, Master Yang Shuming told us the story that changed his life.
When he was still an unknown jade craftsman, he accidentally bought a piece of "waste" with many spots of cotton at the price of 100 yuan, but he didn't give up. When Master Yang Shuming was playing with this scrap under the light of one night, he saw that the spots of the original stone were like the scene of flying snow in the sky under the light, and suddenly he remembered the song "Chai Men smells dogs barking, and the night snow returns people" in his mind.
So the jade carving work "Return on a Snowy Night" appeared in front of the world and was highly sought after. Finally, it was collected at a public auction price of more than 3 million. (from Baidu Encyclopedia)
Through the legend of 100 yuan to 3 million yuan, Master Yang Shuming became famous in one fell swoop, but he did not change his ideas and ingenuity, but chose to continue to carve more works with great concentration, so that Tengchong jade carving technology could be seen and understood by more people.
Return on a Snowy Night is one of the works that Master Yang Shuming is very proud of, but what makes him proud may not be what this outstanding work brought him, but that he "carved his own unique ideas" through a jade carving craftsman's keen sensibility, extraordinary imagination and outstanding creativity, which aroused everyone's feelings for Tengchong jade carving.
Under the heartfelt explanation of Master Yang Shuming, we really felt the charm of Tengchong jade carving culture. However, it is not enough to appreciate the charm of this handicraft skill with your ears. You can experience the fun and sense of accomplishment by yourself.
Therefore, after the meeting, we sincerely invite all the owners and guests to go to the manual experience area of this salon to participate in the rubber seal cutting activities in this issue. Here, everyone is sealed with rubber, and there is a little more warmth and willingness between family and neighbors.
Elegant April, to be continued.
