Jade's Carving and Heavenly Craftsmanship Award
We all know that an excellent jadeite work is inseparable from the evaluation of the flaws of the water color, but to say that the most important and unstable standard is the carver, how much influence does the carver have on the jadeite? It is probably ten points of work equal to three points of material plus seven points of carving, when it comes to jade carver, it is necessary to mention his ceiling - jadeite tiangong award.
The Tiangong Award is the highest award established by the China Jewelry and Jade Jewelry Industry Association for the evaluation of Chinese jade carving works, it was established in 2002 to provide a platform for the jade carving industry to display works, discover talents, guide collections, and promote consumption. The emergence of the Tiangong Award can be said to fill the gap in the selection activities in the field of jade carving industry.
Having said all this, I guess there are still many people who are still confused, so I will use some of the award-winning works of the Tiangong Award to tell you, what is the ceiling of China's jadeite jade carving industry? (In view of the postponement of the 2021 Tiangong Award exhibition due to the impact of the epidemic, the award-winning products have not yet been evaluated, so we will use the 2020 award-winning works for display)

Types of carvers
The above is some of the works of last year's Tiangong Award, and then I will popularize the types of jadeite carving, as the saying goes, "three points of material, seven divisions of labor", this "work" refers to the carving, which shows the importance of the carving, generally speaking, the carving is mainly round carving, relief carving, hollow carving, chain carving and beautiful color carving.
Circular carving, also known as three-dimensional carving, has a three-dimensional space, is the overall expression of art in the carving, the viewer can see the various sides of the object from different angles, it requires the carver to carve in an all-round way from front, back, left, right, up, middle and bottom.
As the name suggests, the image "floats" from the plane, which is a carving technique that carves a concave and undulating image on the plane. The image of "floating" on the surface is high, called high relief; the image of "floating" on the surface is low, called bas-relief.
The difficulty of the process of hollow carving is very difficult in the jade carving process, which requires removing the excess part of the jadeite and then retaining the part of the protruding object in the rough.
Jade chain carving chain is called the chain in jade, to put it bluntly, jade chain carving is to carve jadeite into the shape of a chain, it is developed from the round carving technique, a difficult carving technique.
The so-called pretty color can refer to the color of the flesh, shell and texture of the jade, and the carving is a clever use of the pretty color on the jadeite for the design and processing of the work.
Having said so much knowledge, but also seen so many pictures, I think everyone also understands that carvers are crucial to jadeite, in fact, as long as they can make full use of carving, even an ordinary material can achieve a leap in the dragon gate, a hundred times higher price.
