The glory of the jade carvings of the Qing Dynasty cannot be separated from the Emperor Qianlong

The jade carvings in history have had three glorious historical periods, namely the Spring and Autumn Period, the Western Han Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. In different historical eras, the jade carving culture of each period left a rich jade cultural heritage. Among them, the Qing Dynasty was hailed as the peak period of the Chinese jade carving, and the immortal contribution to this was the Emperor Qianlong.

Qianlong is very fond of jade. He has been in the position for more than 60 years, and has created a new glory. "Qianlonggong" has become synonymous with fine jade articles of this period.

Jade articles of the Qianlong period in the Qing Dynasty

The court jade of this period left a deep impression. In addition to the beautiful workmanship, it is also the innovation consciousness: the court painter participated in the jade carving creation design, and some of the paintings of the Italian painter Lang Shining were also made into jade.

Collecting and playing jade articles is a big hobby of Qianlong. Although there are jade workshops in the palace office, it is not satisfactory. There is also a “Ruyi Pavilion” for the fine jade craftsmen (mainly recruited from Suzhou). The rare jade carving "San Xi Tang Jade Book" is in the Ruyi Museum. This piece of jade book is specially designed by Suzhou jade Zhu Shiyun to enter Beijing. It lasted for more than a year. Later, Zhu Shiyun was not used to living in the palace, and returned to the Soviet Union.

Qianlong Aiyu is rich in taste, especially for the appreciation of ancient artifacts. As an expert in ancient jade archaeological identification, the emperor has never been unique in the dynasties. He and the most convinced Suzhou Yugong Yao Zongren "often consulted with art, and there is a close talk." According to historical sources, once Qianlong saw a "Jade Cup", he liked it, thinking it was an ancient device. Specially called Yao Zongren to distinguish. Yao Zongren said after reading: "Hey! The ancestors of the villain are also, the world is obvious, and the knowledge is known." This "Jade Cup" was originally made by Yao Jiazu. He had seen it before, so he can distinguish it. . Qianlong heard it, especially amazing.

Qianlong likes to make poetry and praise jade, which is rare in history. According to records, he has made more than 700 poems in his life, and the number is amazing. Although the poems are relatively mediocre, the love of jade is beyond words. He knows a lot about the craftsmanship of Suzhou Shuyu, and he used to be a poem: "There is also a good hand in all the lanes."

The jade carving vessels pay attention to the "formal quaintness". Combining the fineness of the bronze pottery with the characteristics of the traditional jade carving craft, it has a new "antique work", which has created a new feature of the jade carving bottle, showing many demure and exquisite workmanship. The novelty, and especially the "Qianlong Antique" annual engraving, has become a unique feature of this period.

The traces of the Stan jade absorbed the jade-making style of India and Persia, and improved and improved. Qianlong has a comment on this. "It’s not a treasure, but it’s a slap in the face." It shows that he has the same understanding of "foreign for the Chinese" and "the ancient for today". The development of tradition is inseparable from the creativity of the times.

The emperor’s seal is called “玺”. The Qin and Han dynasties, the rulers of the feudal dynasty regarded the jade as the main form of expression and power symbol of the imperial power. During the Qianlong period, the number of jade articles was the largest and the carvings were exquisite. The jade materials used were more particular. The jade oysters are all made in the palace jade workshop, and they are all on the Yunlong, meaning "the real dragon emperor." Historical records: Qianlong has "25 squares of jade", there are many other jade seals for different purposes.

The outstanding achievements of the Qing Dynasty jade are of great significance, opening up a vast space for the new form of jade carving. As the main promoter, Qianlong influenced the future development of jade carving with his personal aesthetics, reflecting the “new and ancient, active in the flow”.
