The charm of jade carving
With its tolerant academic spirit, profound design ideas, unique creative interest and exquisite carving technology, Shanghai style jade carving is the leading one in today's Chinese jade carving art circle. The development of Shanghai style jade carving is now catching up with another spring of jade carving innovation and market prosperity. However, he is willing to "carve a jade in three years" because of the ancient and splendid Chinese culture contained in the jade wares. What his works bring to people is a kind of spirit and a kind of cultural essence. He is sun Yong, the inheritor of Shanghai intangible cultural heritage and the outstanding representative of contemporary Shanghai style jade carving.
It is said that the appreciation of jewelry lies in the appreciation of its shape and color, but what jade carving brings to people is the beauty of artistic conception. In ancient China, verve mainly expressed the subjective aesthetic experience, pursuing a vivid, natural and aftertaste state, which enables people to observe the unwritten things from the things they described, and tacitly understand the things they didn't understand from the things they said. That is to say, the ancient people often said that the implied meaning, the image outside the image, and the beauty of infinite meaning. So where is the charm of sun Yongyu's carving works? After carefully studying his works, it is not difficult to find that sun Yong's jade carving works harmonize the inner meaning and environment of his main body with the meaning and environment of the jade itself, thus using his own artistic skills to turn this combination into an artistic image that is not simply for people to appreciate.
As a child, he loved painting and calligraphy, and highly praised the artistic features of traditional painting and calligraphy, such as "both form and spirit" and "vivid charm". He worshipped famous masters for many times, and then went to professional colleges for further study, only to make the carved patterns show the natural charm of jade, making it natural with jade. In terms of design ideas, sun Yong adheres to the principle of perfect combination of materials and technology. Every kind of jade material has its own life characteristics. The intact raw materials should be made as little as possible, without damaging the original ecological beauty. The defective raw materials should be covered up by technology. On the contrary, the raw materials without problems should be made as little as possible, in order to pursue the natural beauty of jade Beauty.
To use this sentence to describe sun Yong's jade carving works "dignified and rich spiritual bearing and solemn and meaningful knife meaning". As a jade carving artist, sun Yong has always stressed that if he wants to improve, he must constantly draw nutrition from painting and calligraphy. He usually seeks reference from wood carving, bamboo carving, ivory carving, porcelain and bronze ware, and often uses poetry, painting and calligraphy to make his works full of poetic and picturesque, creating a composition with artistic charm. After years of hard work, sun Yong's jade carving skills are becoming more and more mature, and constantly create amazing works. Every time a new work comes out, it is often regarded as a treasure by collectors. His works are exquisite in materials, beautiful in shape and both in form and spirit, which all embody superb artistic ingenuity and extraordinary skill. Among the award-winning works of jade Hundred Flowers Award in 2010, sun Yong's "must have love for all sides" not only meets the aesthetic needs of contemporary times, but also meets the needs of current affairs and politics. It has made an artistic interpretation for publicizing the spirit of the Chinese nation's unity, hard work and earthquake relief, and has achieved ideal results.
Jade carving external skill
Jade carving art is an important carrier of the Chinese nation and an important part of Chinese traditional culture and quintessence art. Throughout the 8000 year development of China's jade culture, the rough and simple jade pig dragon in Hongshan culture, the delicate jade Cong in Liangzhu culture, the valuable heshibi in the Warring States period, the exquisite zigangpai and Qianlong craft in the Ming and Qing dynasties all highlight the brilliant light of Chinese jade culture. What is the reason for the great artistic charm and vitality of Chinese jade carving? My experience is that there are two important conditions for a jade carving to become an infectious and shocking work of Art: one is to have excellent jade internal skill, the other is to have excellent jade external skill. In my opinion, yunei Kung Fu mainly refers to the painting ability and modeling ability that a professional engaged in jade carving should possess, as well as exquisite carving skills. The jade carving professional also needs profound cultural heritage, rich knowledge accumulation, superb artistic quality, noble moral cultivation and rich imagination and creativity on the basis of jade carving professional. Here it is referred to as jade carving internal and external skills. The internal and external skills of jade carving are indispensable to those engaged in the art of jade carving, just like a person's right arm and left arm. If our jade carving professionals only have internal skills but no external skills, they can only be good craftsmen at best, not jade carving masters. Numerous facts have proved that many jade carving professionals attach more importance to internal skills than to external skills, to imitation than to innovation, to craft than to creativity, so that they falter on the road of jade carving art and find it difficult to make progress, and they encounter a huge bottleneck in the development of jade carving art. Therefore, in order to become a qualified and developed jade carving talent, it is necessary to practice both internal and external skills. Here, I would like to talk about three points on how to practice the external skills of jade carving
Jade carving external skill 1
It is the first condition to practice external skill well to strengthen learning input, pay attention to learning methods, continuously accumulate knowledge and improve personal cultural quality. For a jade carving professional who is already in the job, it is really a difficult thing to squeeze out time to learn. We must fully realize the importance of charging. We must squeeze out time to make great efforts and investment to learn relevant knowledge and increase our cultural heritage. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 90% of the jade carving industry in China. First, more than 90% of the employees have their education background below high school; second, more than 90% of the employees have not received systematic training; third, more than 90% of the employees rely on their master's help and guidance, and have few opportunities to participate in cultural studies. Therefore, it highlights the importance and urgency of participating in cultural learning. At present, how to charge well and become qualified jade carving talents? I think we need to do the following three points: first, learn from books. As the saying goes, if you have ten thousand volumes of books in your heart and write with spirit, you often hate less books until you use them. The important reason is that you don't read widely. Therefore, we should read more books, accumulate more knowledge, learn more culture from books, and persist in self-study. Second, we should focus on key learning. In line with the principle of what is missing to make up for what is missing, we should focus on our own shortcomings. For example, our jade carving works often need to inject a lot of historical and cultural knowledge, which requires us to focus on learning Chinese culture, so as to increase the cultural taste of the works. Therefore, only in this way can we get twice the result with half the effort with Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, famous historical allusions, and famous Tang and Song poetry For example, I have mastered the knowledge of traditional Chinese culture through learning, and I like collecting and studying porcelain and bronzes. The composition art of porcelain and the decoration of bronzes have given me great inspiration and source of creation. In my design of antique works, many elements of traditional Chinese culture have been integrated, which makes the works have heavy artistic connotation and historical accumulation, and has been widely used In 2009, my work "eight auspicious" was awarded the gold medal of the second magic work award, which caused great repercussions and general recognition in the society. The important reason is that I combined the patterns of "Cong, Bi, GUI, Huang" and four elephants "green dragon, white tiger, rosefinch, Xuanwu" to form a ritual The integration of the culture of utensils and geomantic omen is that the wall is round like the sky, saying that the wall determines the world, Cong represents the place, and Wanliu belongs to the clan. In the middle of the jade huang, there is a dot for the sun, and the sun is shining everywhere. On the back of the Bi, there is a road, which means that the heaven and the earth can be connected, the four sides can be connected, and the Yin and yang can be connected. Because the heaven is the sun, the earth is the Yin, and the Yin and Yang complement each other. The four images come from the book of changes. It is said that Taiji gives birth to Liangyi and Liangyi gives birth to four images, that is, Qinglong on the left, Baihu on the right, Zhuque in the front and Xuanwu on the back, that is, Taiyang, Taiyin and Shaoyang
