The ancients used local materials and carved beautiful stones for ritual and sacrifice. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius' theory of "jade has five virtues" laid the foundation for jade appreciation. With the prosperity of the wind of "valuing jade and despising Min", all the people in the world value jade. The jade system of ritual and sacrifice, jade comparison and animism has been interwoven for thousands of years. In the Qing Dynasty, jadeite jade was imported into the mainland from its source and carved into a piece of jade. It was red and green. People praised it as "a spirit of yin and yang, melted by the three lights of the sun, moon and stars". The popularity of jadeite symbolizes the mainstream of jade carving art, and it has parted ways from the ancient tradition. Carving jadeite, today's people are all following the laws of the Qing Dynasty, preferring emerald, which is the so-called "those who talk about the joy of jade may not get the true interest of jade". Wang Junyi created the Qing Dynasty's elegant toys and accessories, which are made of jadeite, specially selected materials discarded by people, carefully considered and creative, and then cut the rough and refined, carving the excellent like the wrong sky, and clean the vulgar. The jadeite is carved to follow the material selection idea of "no good or bad materials, and high or low work". Good materials are used well, and rough materials are carved skillfully. A master craftsman should develop his own way. Wang Junyi's ink jade series: "Dominant", "Proud Dragon Going to Sea", and "Tai Chi Black Panther" break through the tradition of "no black" in the selection of jadeite materials. The playing edge is carved like a woodcutter's ink painting, which makes it deeply natural and mysterious, and also has the elegance of literati's ink painting. Three generations are far away, and the ancient jade culture has been passed on and spread, which has lost its original purpose. Although the idea of Bide has remained unchanged for a long time, the aesthetic appreciation of carving and carving by people today, if not the avant-garde of fashion, would inevitably fall into the stereotype of the ancients and become a secular system. 12; Tai Chi Turtle
