Many people want to learn jade carving, but they don't know how to get started. Now I will explain to you how jade carving changed from an apprentice to a master in the form of introducing the jade industry. Jade is a jewelry industry with China characteristics. Today, diamonds, gold jewelry and watches are precious treasures all over the world, but jadeite and hetian jade are our favorites. As a precious jewel, jade has a long history and carries a strong cultural heritage. It is said that a gentleman is modest and gentle as jade. Before it's too late, get down to business. In China jadeite industry, jadeite is not produced in China, but in Myanmar, but most jadeite processing is done in Chinese mainland. Jade carvings in China are scattered in many places, and jade carving craftsmen have been active in these areas for a long time. As far as the Fourth Guangdong Conference is concerned, carving jade ornaments is a feature here, and various small pendants are also taken into account. Yangzhou and Beijing are famous for carving Hetian jade, and Zigang brand is the characteristic. So if you want to learn jade carving, go to the above cities to find a teacher to learn. Enter the factory to do odd jobs. At the beginning of learning jade carving, you worked as a handyman in a processing factory. During this period, you can learn a lot of rough work, such as boundary markers, cutting materials, rough machining rough embryos and so on. And you are a coolie during this period. Large-scale cutting machines are usually placed in the open air, so your workplace is also open air, and the strong squeak always tests your tolerance for noise. This work may be completed within the first one to three months after entering the factory. Don't underestimate this job. That's when you learn to be a good cutter in the future. You can cut hundreds of thousands with one knife. Then I cut the material with an intermediate master. Master Stone draws the unnecessary places, and you can just cut them off with an angle grinder. This step can practice your hand strength and wrist strength, and practicing this basic skill will be of great help to the future line control and role opening. If you can complete the above two steps in half a year, you are a genius, which usually takes more than one year. After that, the master handed in some rough embryos and you polished them. The key point of grinding rough embryo is that the large size can not be changed, and the requirements of bottle furnace and the like are higher, square and rigorous. This work will take a long time. If you choose to make a small pendant after completing the above two steps, you can only make blanks on the flat knitting machine. This step is very simple, but the difficulty of learning small pendants or hand pieces lies behind. This is some technical work related to art. Well, that's all for today, and we'll talk about the process of embryo beating and the introduction of carving large ornaments tomorrow.
