Jewelry and jade can not be distinguished, the value of high or low can not understand, then please see Li Mengyu's jewelry jade science lecture hall!
The first two issues to everyone to talk about the strange stone, many jade friends after seeing the article, shared their own ornamental stones, here to choose some, we all enjoy it together.
As shown in the picture above, the ornamental stones are the white penguin and jade rabbit of the eternal moon, the strange 24 braised pork belly, the visualization of the singing rooster tianxiabai, the Chinese condor and antelope of Qianyouran 5Q, the treading cloud qilin of the door tian fN, and the former (rabbit) of Zhang Jian, who has won the viewing stone gold award. Here put together to give you a show, and then I have the opportunity to send a special article to show you one by one.
In the last issue, I shared with you the "Three Treasures of the Town Hall" of the National Palace in Taipei - Dongpo meat-shaped stone, jade cabbage and Western Zhou Mao Gongding. One of the four strange stones, Dongpo meat, together with jade cabbage, Mao Gongding and called taipei national palace "three treasures of the town hall" these three treasures can be said to be famous, especially jade cabbage, Chinese and foreign tourists to Taipei, will go to Taipei National Palace to see it. It's like being embarrassed to say you've been to Beijing if you haven't climbed the Great Wall.
In fact, there are not many jade (jade) cabbages handed down in ancient times (mainly in the Qing Dynasty) on the mainland, but this one is the most famous. In addition to the fact that this jade cabbage is the best quality in the material and carving of many jade cabbages, it is also because of the historical and cultural value behind it.
As I said in the last issue, the material of this jade cabbage itself is not very good, and we see such a realistic finished product, in fact, it is more thanks to the whims of the jade carvers. The gray and yellow part is a vegetable gang, the jade part is a vegetable leaf, and there are more exquisite grasshoppers and locusts, which make this work even more interesting.
The ancient jade carving paid attention to the fact that jade must be intentional, and the meaning must be auspicious. In addition to the meaning of "hundred wealth" that everyone knows, this jade cabbage also has the meaning of innocence. According to legend, jade cabbage is one of the concubines of the Guangxu Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, when Concubine Jin was married, the dowry prepared for her by the family, symbolizing the purity of The Jade of Jin Concubine Ice, and at the same time has the meaning of having many children and many blessings (grasshoppers have strong reproductive ability).
We all know that Cixi is very fond of jadeite, and jadeite jewelry is also popular throughout the palace. This jade cabbage was later placed in the Yonghe Palace until Feng Yuxiang's coup d'état, and the jade cabbage entered the Forbidden City (at that time, it was no longer a palace, but a palace museum) and was collected. Later, during the Liberation War, Chiang Kai-shek retreated to Taiwan and took away a large number of cultural relics and national treasures, including this jade cabbage. Until the completion of the National Palace Museum in Taipei, it has been displayed inside, and it has been displayed as a treasure of the town hall all year round. That's what I said at the beginning, every year people who come to taipei to see cabbage line up and are endless.
Finally, a small detail, many people do not know, in fact, this jade cabbage is not perfect, missing a small section, the tentacles of the grasshopper are broken! When was it broken, how it was broken, because it was only later discovered, and everyone speculated that it was damaged in the process of moving to Taiwan! In the future, everyone will have the opportunity to go to the National Palace Museum in Taipei for careful observation. This is also a small episode, as a witness and participant in a period of history, jade cabbage has a more legendary color.
The legendary story of jade cabbage is shared here, and the next issue will introduce you to a piece of jade cabbage that is no less than it, and it is also a national treasure! Everyone can pay attention to and look forward to!
On the occasion of the New Year, give yourself a pendant to treat yourself, jasper cabbage, hundreds of wealth, I wish you a new year of prosperity and prosperity!
