The combination of traditional techniques and modern ideas, why do jade sculptors after 90 want to innovate and carve Iron Man?

As four ancient civilizations, jade has become a symbol of identity as early as ancient times, and later it has become the favorite of the public. A good jade is undoubtedly a treasure that can be passed down from generation to generation, but jade alone is not enough. Only in the hands of skilled craftsmen can jadeite shine the most brightly.

The so-called jade is uncut and abrasive. Is it a perfect jade? Before carving, it was just a stone that looked better than ordinary stones. You know, in our country, when we evaluate a piece of jade more than the raw material, we pay more attention to its artistry.

Don't you see that the original stone of the national treasure jade work "Jade Cabbage" that has been exhibited in the National Palace Museum in Taipei is a semi-green jade? After careful carving by craftsmen, it is now a beautiful work of art.

Without the touch of a craftsman, this stone may be divided into countless small pieces and then made into ordinary bracelet pendants for people to play with. Sculpture is one of our oldest artistic treasures and has always been the unique cultural essence of our nation.

For outsiders, they prefer diamonds and other precious stones, but they don't like jade, which may also be related to their cultural and technological faults. You know, among the four ancient civilizations, except our ancient Chinese civilization, other civilizations have long been extinct.

As early as 4500 years ago, we began to use jade as a sacrifice. Jade, as the treasure with the most artistic value in China traditional culture, has always been closely related to art. As the saying goes, "Things have souls", and thousands of jade articles contain the charm and soul attached by craftsmen.

These also reflect the spirit of harmony between man and nature that we have been pursuing for jade culture. But at present, many profound carving skills are not paid attention to by many people in the fast-paced life. On the contrary, western realistic techniques are sought after by more and more people.

Art is an elegant art after all, just like Chun Xue. Although it is beautiful, it is too elegant and too far away from the lives of ordinary people. Just like abstract oil painting, it is full of artistic flavor, but it is really understood too little.

For a long time, the theme and creative direction of China jade carving culture are too limited. Walking into the mall is almost all about Guanyin and Buddhism, and rarely see innovative themes that make people shine. This is obviously very boring and fearless for today's increasingly diversified, and the demand for innovation needs jade carving craftsmen to pay more and more attention.

In fact, a new generation of jade sculptors are also trying to innovate and are no longer bound by old themes. Recently, a jade carving iron man made by a post-90 s jade carving craftsman caused an uproar on the Internet, which triggered a heated discussion among foreign netizens. Many foreign friends said they were surprised by our traditional skills.

Yes, the combination of traditional jade carving culture and the popular Marvel comic films has made more foreigners see the charm of our traditional skills, which is of great benefit to the promotion of our jade carving culture. As a new generation of jade carving technicians, it is very admirable to innovate boldly on the premise of observing traditional crafts.

In fact, although tradition needs us to abide by, no matter what kind of culture needs someone to innovate. After all, we can't always sleep on our previous achievements. If we don't innovate, traditional technology will gradually be forgotten by the world.

In the end, no one even studied it, and then slowly disappeared into the long river of history. I think this post-90 s jade carving master has done a good job, innovating but not forgetting the roots, changing but not changing the roots. Although innovation is a good thing, we can't forget our original tradition.

Tradition is the spiritual civilization left by our ancestors. No matter how we innovate and change, we must adhere to the spirit left by our ancestors, pass on the good and useful things all the time, and eliminate the dross more cleanly. In this era, the whole world will be connected into a global village.

Communication is also increasingly developed. As a jade carving craftsman in the new era, we should let the world see the charm of China traditional culture and let more people like jade carving culture. This is the mission of everyone in China and the best respect for traditional culture.
