Gu F. (2005) The Complete Collection of Jades Unearthed in China (10—Hubei and Hunan Volume). Science Press, Beijing, 240 pp. Jade was first identified in Canada by Chinese settlers in 1886 in British Columbia. [ citation needed] At this time jade was considered worthless because they were searching for gold. [ citation needed] Jade was not commercialized in Canada until the 1970s. The mining business Loex James Ltd., which was started by two Californians, began commercial mining of Canadian jade in 1972. [22] The progress of any craft or technology is a process of gradual exploration and long-term accumulation of experience (Xu, 2014). Analysis of Chinese jade carving proves a basic law—the craft learns from the past and sets a new course for the future with heritage and innovation. In general, innovation outweighs heritage. Innovation refers to multifaceted improvement and transformation based on heritage (You, 2001). Modern jade carving inherits and improves upon ancient techniques, but more importantly creates innovations in power-driven and machine engraving tools, contributing to an increase in efficiency and further development of the art. Thus, modern jade art is the best illustration of heritage and innovation working in harmony. A review of jade carving tools. Y ang Boda’s Views on Jade—Ba Zhi Selected Works.

A stone that is beautiful, it has five virtues. There is warmth in its lustre and brilliance; this is its quality of kindness; its soft interior may be viewed from the outside revealing [the goodness] within; this is its quality of rectitude; its tone is tranquil and high and carries far and wide; this is its quality of wisdom; it may be broken but cannot be twisted; this is its quality of bravery; its sharp edges are not intended for violence; this is its quality of purity.

As mentioned above, ancient jade carving includes five steps: material selection, examination, design, carving with abrasives, and polishing (Xu, 2014). Depending on the tools and techniques, modern jade carving can be divided into three mainstream methods, each with a different procedure. Jade culture is an important aspect of Chinese culture, [3] reflecting both the material and spiritual culture of the Chinese people. [4] :18 Jade is deeply ingrained in Chinese culture and played a role in every aspect of social life; [4] :18 it is also associated with positive qualities and aspects such as purity, excellence, and harmony. [5] :20 [6] :94 Jade is even more valued than gold in Chinese culture. [6] :94 Traditionally, jade jewellery especially often expressed positive sentiments and good wishes; and, jade itself were often gifted on important and/or special occasions such as wedding and child birth. [1] Hebao, Chinese purses or sachet, are currently used as a form of fashion accessory used by hanfu enthusiasts. [11] They are often embroidered and can be decorated with tassels.

Introduction

[30] :35 Type A jade is far more valuable than type B, which is far more valuable than type C. Type B + C tends to be the least valuable. It can be difficult to identify jade treatments without spending a little time researching techniques. Color Tuanshan ( Chinese: 团扇), silk round-shaped fans, also known as "fans of reunion", is a type of "rigid fan". [44] [46] These types of fans were mostly used by women in the Tang dynasty and was later introduced into Japan. [47] These round fans remained mainstream even after the growing popularity of the folding fans. [48] Round fans with Chinese paintings and with calligraphy became very popular in the Song dynasty.

In the late 1950s, with the policy reform of the national planned economy, government-owned jade carving factories sprang up, led by the manufacturing centers of Beijing, Shanghai, Yangzhou, and Suzhou (Ma, 2014). Jade carvings were produced under industrial management using assembly lines (Ji, 1984). It was at this time that motor-driven carving machinery began to be employed.

Scholars are increasingly focusing on the carving craft in addition to ancient designs. Five periods have previously been defined according to the evolution of tools and craftsmanship, and the representative innovations of each period are summarized in this article. Nearly 2,500 contemporary works are analyzed statistically, showing that piercing and Qiaose, a technique to take artistic advantage of jade’s naturally uneven color, are the most commonly used methods. Current mainstream techniques used in China’s jade carving industry include manual carving, computer numerical control engraving, and 3D replicate engraving. With a rich heritage and ongoing innovation in jade craftsmanship, as well as increased automation, the cultural value and creative designs are both expected to reach new heights.​​ INTRODUCTION The process of valuing gemstones can be difficult but we can give you some great pricing guidance.
