"When the dragon is prosperous, the clouds and rain will bring peace to the world."
Dragon, as one of the four divine beasts. In ancient mythology, it can turn the sky upside down, swallow clouds and fog, and do everything. It can be said that the power is infinite, the mighty is incomparable, and the omnipotent is omnipotent.
In the long history of China, the dragon is the beginning and end of Chinese culture as a totem. The Chinese culture's interpretation of the dragon involves all aspects of life.
From stone tools and bronze tools to iron, gold and silver, and jade, the image of the dragon follows like a shadow, with the form, the momentum is magnificent, and the spirit is eternal.
In jade culture, there are also many themes related to dragons, such as dragons walking in the world, dragons and phoenixes, Wangzi Jackie Chan and so on.
In Chinese culture, the dragon does not refer specifically to any kind of animal, but has a specific image. As the totem of the Chinese nation, it is a symbol of the spirit.
Therefore, in dragon carving works, jade carvers need to pay more attention to the cultural connotation of dragons, and carefully figure out the shape, demeanor, and charm of dragons. Of course, for the choice of raw materials, we should not lose the "spirit" of the dragon.
Jade carvers are ingenious in their jade and follow the form. The dragon head is mighty, the dragon claws are powerful, the dragon body rushes in the jade, the combination of virtual and real, majestic and mysterious, and has the potential to swallow mountains and rivers.
"The dragon is a thing, a hero of the world"
