Why does Jade have no "master group" phenomenon?

When the jade is closed, it is not as famous as a white jade. Everyone sees love and happiness, and it’s no problem to be anonymous.

The times are advancing, the jade carving masters are gradually coming out of the studio, participating in the brand's operation and publicity, and various jade carving awards are gradually increasing. Whether it is the Tiangong Award, the Hundred Flowers Award or various exhibitions, we all found one. The phenomenon of "Hetian jade master group", that is, when buying Hetian jade carvings, the seller will first say that it is a master's work, then talk about jade and color, and the jade engraver with title is also the master of the main carving and Tian Yu, is it other? There are no special engraving masters for jade types?

The jade texture is transparent and colorful, and it is loved by collectors of all ages and countries. The largest circulation in the market is jade. The highest price jade is also jade. However, we rarely hear certain jadeites. Master of engraving craftsmanship, when buying jade, it is rare to hear that the seller will mention the sculptor. Why is it so contemptuous of the author on the jade? Today we have the honor to interview Ms. Gao Ying, a master of jade carving in Henan Province, who is known for her jade carvings. Let her Tell us about her years of experience in the jade industry and why there is no “master group” in jade.

Thirty years of jade

The reporter came to Ms. Gao Ying’s “Magnificent Jewelry”, a jade store on the 1st floor of Block A, Shilihe Cultural Park, East Third Ring Road, Beijing. Ms. Gao Ying will only stay in Beijing for about one month each year. Most of the time she will spend the rest of her life in the factory in Sihui City, Guangdong Province. She will manage the factory and carry out art design and engraving. Brewing a pot of new tea, tea in the scent, Ms. Gao Ying tells us about her ties with jade for more than 30 years...

Ms. Gao Ying is from the town of jade carving culture in Zhenping County, Henan Province. She first worked in the design work of Zhenping County Jade Carving Factory. She mentioned why she chose the jade industry. Ms. Gao Ying did not hesitate to say “I like it”. The open-minded and refreshing of the northerners.

“The first time I saw the jade, I didn’t like it. The more I contacted it, the more I found it to be the top material tailored for the jade sculptor. The jade’s raw materials are scarce, compared to other jade, no matter Collection value or market value is very high, and it is multi-colored, overall transparent and full of aura. Whether it is for jewelry or skillful carving, it is very suitable for our sculptors, so it is very selective and playable. I have a special liking for the emerald."

Engaged in the design work in the jade carving factory, drawing nutrients from the old artists, and constantly expanding themselves, but working in the factory, after all, can not completely follow their own ideas, and received more restraint.

The development of society has promoted the advancement of science and technology. The tools of jade carving are becoming more and more simple and light. The requirements for the venue are not so strict, and the machine is relatively simple. Engraving jade carving can be a factory or a studio, but it can also be an individual. In the town of jade carving in Zhenping, many families in the countryside are making jade carvings. With the rise of the jade carving market, many people are reluctant to do it at the factory and start to stand on their own. In 1994, Ms. Gao Ying left the jade carving factory and officially established her own goal. She inserted her first flag in the jade world of Henan.

In 2000, in view of the developed economy of coastal cities, the import and export of raw materials and transportation were very convenient, and the jade industry showed a vigorous development. Ms. Gao Ying left the hometown of Henan and established the jade factory in Guangzhou. From then on, what Ms. Gao Ying has to do is not the design and creation of one person and one thing, but the art design and engraving of thousands of jadeites, as well as the operation and management of a company.

Ingenuity

Although there is not a lot of time to personally engrave now, but when it comes to jade carving, the professionalism revealed by Ms. Gao Ying's tone reveals her decades of jade carving experience.

Jade is different from most jade. Its color is colorful and its stone is changeable. It can't be like white jade. It can be done according to the drawn drawings. In the jade carving process, I often encounter half of the encounter, and other colors appear below the raw materials. At that time, it is necessary to appropriately change the concept and change the theme to adapt to this raw material. This is a test of the artist's artistic attainments and resilience. In addition, and a piece of raw material may be in the process of engraving, it will be found that the following kinds of water are changing. The water of each facet of jade is quite different. Generally speaking, the surface of the sun is better, and the water is better. Time to put the most exciting part on the sunny side.

The jade carving shows not only the sculptor's superb skills, but also the author's whimsy. The jade color is diverse, and the raw materials can be designed according to its color characteristics, which will better reflect its artistry.

"Confucianism has been passed down through our country for thousands of years. I admire Confucius's teaching and classlessness, and teach students in accordance with their aptitude. The same is true of jade carving. Each jadeite is formed for tens of thousands of years. It is not only the material we create, but also God gives us the treasure. In the face of every piece of raw materials, we must consider how to maximize its natural beauty, how to make its original enamel into a finishing touch, and finally design a unique fit for it. Patterns and shapes. So we have to design according to the raw materials, and we can't say the theme and then look for raw materials. The color and stone of jade are colorful and changeable, and we must fully play according to its characteristics. Its potential artistic value. Ordinary materials, if matched with the perfect design for it, may also rank among the top art.” Ms. Gao Ying’s simple in-kind technique covers her many years of jade creation, but this In the simple four words, she used more than 30 years of youth to explore what is the reason, Shi Heyi, and enjoy it.

It is important to think about it, but it is more important to make a difference in the traditional Chinese theme.

“Chinese Peiyu pays attention to the meaning. After entering China, Jadeite soon combined the traditional Chinese jade culture with good luck and wealth. Therefore, most of the jade carvings are auspicious objects that everyone likes and hears. The repetition of the theme requires performance techniques and Different, otherwise the raw materials are almost the same. Everyone is carving Maitreya. On one side, why should the collector choose your work? If the shape and decoration change, it is different from the same works on the market. Not only the collectors will shine, but also increase the market value of the works.” Seeing ingenuity in small details is also one of the unique experiences of Ms. Gao Ying.

Masters who are still famous in the people

How can a jade engraver be considered "successful"? Many people must think of becoming a provincial or even national master of craftsmanship or getting a Tiangong Award.

When we go to buy Hetian jade carvings, the seller will first say that it is a master's work, and then talk about jade and color. The jade engraver with the title is also the master of the main carving and Tian Yu. The jade texture is transparent and colorful. The posture is loved by Tibetans of all ages and countries. The most liquid in the market is jade. The jade with the highest price is also jade. However, we rarely hear the master of jade carving crafts. When buying jade, It is rare to hear that the seller will mention the sculptor. Why is there no “master group” of jadeite favored by the audience?

The craft is no less than Master He Tianyu, but does not seek fame, then what is “success” for the jade carver? For this, Ms. Gao Ying gave us answers from two aspects.

In terms of raw materials, jadeite reflects the value of species, water and color. On the basis of species, water and color, and with clever ideas, its value will be high, and the quality of jadeite is good. Already very beautiful, do not need too much craft to modify, even if it is a simple egg noodle, bracelet, it is also worthless. A simple round bar is a kind of jade bracelet, worth up to 10 million or even hundreds of millions. No one will care who its producers are. The value of jadeite depends first and foremost on its raw materials. Many times its value of raw materials has surpassed the added value that masters can bring to him. This is jade.

From the perspective of craftsmen, most of the jade carving masters are very low-key, almost no appearances in various exhibitions and awards. They are more focused on market acceptance and recognition, not chasing various awards and "masters". Name, but let the market demand to prove their artistic attainments and market value. However, focusing on the market does not mean that they are only busy making money.

"As an engraver, what I do can get everyone's love, market recognition, watching everyone wear what I do on a daily basis, inseparable; or at home, often play, treasure, and put it down, This sense of accomplishment is that the "master" title of any level can't be changed."

When it comes to this, the “no name” of the jade carvings seems to be easy to understand, because the works of the jade carvings are loved by people, and the market is highly liquid. Naturally, it is necessary to continue to create and to be artistic, as Gao Ying said. Good works have been bought, sometimes even photos are too late to stay, and what to take to participate in the awards? Where is the non-stop creation, where can I have time to prepare all kinds of cumbersome information in exchange for that paper certificate? The cherished love of the jade carvings by the family is far more precious and warmer than that of a paper certificate and a title.
