Animals: Auspicious Dragon and Tiger

Chapter 4-Anima

Chinese Jade Sculpture Collection

The animals of Xiuyan Jade sculpture refer to the beasts of prey. They are mainly fictionalized and realistic. There are both monolithic and group designs, which belong to the historical and traditional auspicious cultural themes. Natural realistic jade beasts are mainly horses, cows, sheep, elephants and tigers. The works are characterized by accurate proportions, appropriate exaggeration, obvious features and vividness, and many of the works have been awarded as national ministerial products. Among them, "Horse to Success", "Three Suns to Open Heaven", "Peaceful Elephant", etc. are traditional themes that have been everlasting and everlasting. Legends and fictions of jade carving beasts are mainly dragons, unicorns, braves and other traditional auspicious objects. Such works have very strange images and extremely powerful looks, fully preserving the strong ancient style and displaying the style of the guardian god that wards off evil spirits.

Infinite Vitality (Hematite)

Designed by Che Shaoguo Selected by Fu Tianbao

Carved by Liu Hui Dimensions: 66cm x 45cm

The work as a whole is a cluster of young mushrooms growing from a decaying old tree stump. Mushrooms and ganoderma lucidum belong to the same kind of fungus, and also have the therapeutic effect of prolonging life. This work belongs to the innovative subject matter, and the mystery lies in the ingenious use of the reddish-brown stone skin of the raw material of Hematite and saccharine inner texture, which is designed to be carved into the dappled bark of the mushrooms and the remnants of wood, thus obtaining the art effect of playing with the clouds to support the moon, and transforming the rottenness into a god.

The work uses the skin of the Hematite Jade as the base and the background of the mountain rocks, and the oily, delicate and uniformly greenish-blue jade is meticulously designed to create the Eight Stallions. They raise their manes and hooves, in different states; they chase the wind and the earth, and they are divine and unparalleled. The composition is sparse and dense, and the scene is open and transparent, further revealing the boldness of the eight galloping horses and their heroic and robust behavior.
