How to Build a Beautiful Jade Sculpture for Shi Shiyi

The key to the idea of ​​Shi Shiyi’s idea of ​​jade is that the stone is often miscellaneous. It requires a brilliant layout concept and clever use of various colors to make the entire work a wonderful experience in the movie “Crazy Stone”, a small piece of jade. To save a factory is really not a myth. According to people in the industry, in recent years, the average annual appreciation of jade is above 30%. The auspicious things of this ancient Chinese people have now brought more than just auspiciousness, but they may have become "hard currency" in our hands.

Guangyu jade is produced in Quang Ninh, Zhaoqing. According to reports, as early as the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty, the handicrafts produced by Guangyu jade were already a well-known tribute. Mr. Zhao Puchu used to describe him as "a treasure in stone" before his death. In the “Academic Classics” written by the author of the Japanese Academy of Fine Arts, Yuno Snow Village wrote: “Guangdong’s green production has been highly consistent with pure green and tea yellow, and Guangdong Green and Quang Nin are frozen in Japan. “The “Supplementary Figures on Stone Printing Materials” written by Japan’s Tokubayashi Taro said: “Tianhuang, Bloodstone, and Guangdong Green are the same grades in the rare and precious stones.”

In September this year, Guangluoyu participated in the "Guangdong Folk Arts and Fine Arts and Culture and Creativity" exhibition in Beijing. It was highly praised by many experts and visitors. What is the beauty of color and exquisite craftsmanship?

Recently, the collection weekly magazine reporter went deep into the origin of Guangyu jade, to find out for you.

First, the concept of Xiang Yu After getting the stone, before the creation of the knife, the first thing jade artists must do is to carefully examine its jade, appearance, color, chapped, squatting, etc., to the good and bad part of the chest, this Called "phase jade." Senior Yellow Jade Artist Yellow Master told the Collection Weekly reporter: “Look at jade to turn and see, front, back, side, top... Because of the wide variety of colors and shades of bright green jade, there is often a mixture of stones on each stone. Wonderful layout ideas, but also clever use of a variety of colors, making the entire work of fun heaven and earth, in order to determine what works of art. "A good idea is often a long time, less is a month or two, more than a year or two It's hard to say, so this link is the key. Because of the color, the Shi Shiyi's artistic style is an important feature of Guanglu jade carving.

Collection Weekly reporter learned that, after the establishment of the concept, there is generally a small process of throwing skin, using sandpaper and other tools to rub the original jade stone skin, broken particles, and then rough draw. The first is to use a pencil to draw drafts, draw shapes and patterns directly on jade, and then use ink pens to paint after finalization. Jade carvings cannot leave water, and you must use oil-resistant pens that are not afraid of water, or cover them with waterproof shellac.

Second, to make a big sample. This process is also called "billeting." It is to trim off the corners outside the outline of the stone design. In addition, we must also dig out unusable flaws or dirty spots to remove sand or impurities that may hinder the design. Stones, etc., make it suitable for the needs of the works. At the same time, jade sculptors will continue to sculpt the structure of each part of the scene on the basis of the rough, to achieve the basic shape and content of the performance works. In this procedure, a collection of weekly magazine reporters saw in the jade carving workshop, the jade carving division will use the sharp wheel-like tool to repeatedly cut jade corners. The reporter asked the jade carving master: "Will accidentally cut the hand?" "Reassured well, this tool does not eat soft hard, jade on the top will be ground, and the hand will not be injured." The jade carving master said.

Third, after the completion of the fine sculpture, the details will be drawn on the three-dimensional outline, further carving a three-dimensional shape, precise shape, and easy carving details. Engraving from the surface of the jade material into the interior of the jade material may find new problems. The jade carving teacher told Collection Weekly reporter: “The modification after the billet is very important, the key lies in the fine grinding technique.” The reporter saw that the carving process has been using water spray, jade carving division said, “The hardness of the wide green jade is The grinding force of the grinding head is also quite strong, and the friction between the two will generate high temperature and sparks, so water is essential in the jade carving process.It not only has cooling effect, but also plays a role in the lubrication medium and dust removal. The function."

Fourth, to polish this process, jade artists called jade pieces "wearing clothes", but also the final modification of the sculpture process, to rely on different knife directions and knife, characterization of the scenery of temperament and spirit. The specific process of grinding is similar to fine carving, but the tools and abrasives used are different from those of fine carving.

5. After waxing and polishing, Shanglaguang Green Jade needs a thin layer of wax to keep the stone stable and smooth. After Jiala, jade carvings became colorful and pleasing to the eye. After the completion of the waxing process, it was finally fitted with wood blocks and boxes that were in harmony with the artistic conception. The exquisite Guanglu Stone works were completed.
