Let us first look at the aesthetic changes of various generations of jade from the data:
In the middle of the Qianlong-Qing Dynasty, there was no special jade record. All the records of jadeite were made in comparison with Hetian jade. That is to say, the aesthetic of jadeite is the aesthetic of Hetian jade. Bai Cui should be more like white jade, green jade should be more like jasper, jaundice should be more like yellow skin. The good evidence is that the Palace Museum has a Qianlong 44th April, 44th, Jiangsu governor Wutan Dragon Boat Festival for the emerald flower. Is it like the practice of Hetian jade? I want to see it and I will have a conclusion.
In the late 19th century, it was roughly what we called the late Qing Dynasty. The actual ruling of Cixi made things change, and the green jade was popular in the Qing court. Just because Cixi is a strong woman, but the essence is still a woman, the beauty of women's vision is far better than the pursuit of connotation. Being able to tear the traditional bondage is really a woman with a strong heart. During this period, the court of the emerald was recorded as "green jade", which is also a reflection of the side.
In 1889, the most important book on jade in the ancient books, "Jade Theory" came out, and Mr. Tang Rongzhen interpreted the jade in all directions. Because this book is a draft of the London Museum, the scientific spirit and objectivity are commendable. Mr. Tang clearly mentioned the five grades of jade in the book:
Valuable Cui: 1) Green Zhengbi, Mingyan Jingying; (2) No oil and no dryness; (3) No spot and no flaws; (4) Physically clear; (5) Hue.
Jia Pin Cui: (1) white and green distinct; (2) color and lubric; (3) white as gelatin; (4) green as dripping.
Shangchong Cui: (1) pure white texture; (2) thick bi-point dyed lively, flowing, not scattered or dizzy; (3) clear and innocent. It is green and good.
Nothing to take in: (1) green or light and dizzy, or thick and near black; (2) white or stained with ash, or dark as bad stone. Nothing is enough.
Quite often: (1) The whole body is light, the first product is very good, the fine color is scattered, and the color is not traced, the rotation can not refer to its green place; (2) or the green inside the dark spots, Or licking white shavings. Also a mediocrity
This grading description is accurate. We clearly saw the changes in the aesthetics of the jade in the evening, and in a nutshell, summarized it.
1. The first big thing is green, it is the kind of green. And be green and clean. Green is not strong or not clean, not as good as white.
2, although Bai Cui is not as green as green, but the white powder of good fat powder (that is, fine particles) is quite rare.
3, green and white are clearly better.
4. [It is extremely important that there is only one species (that is, the degree of detail), and the discussion of no water. Water head is not an important standard for jade aesthetics]
During the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, with the impact of the aesthetics of the East and the West. The aesthetic of the emerald is still developing along the path of the evening. In another very famous jade ancient book "Antiquities Guide", Mr. Zhao Yinan's description of the aesthetic changes in this period is extremely detailed.
1. "In the past, the whites can also be used. (Note: This is different from the views of Yunnan people in the late Ming Dynasty.) One or two red and green people are better, and pure green ones are nothing." It is the above-mentioned late night period. Mr. Zhao also made it very clear: "The cover is like this, not limited to financial resources." Not bad money, just like white, if it is full, then the cow is big.
2. "A few decades ago... ç¿¡ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç‰ ç‰ ç‰ ç‰ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ ç¿ period.
3, and to the Republic of China, "nearly in the golden years to learn, white people can not be used as ornaments. Ornaments of decorative things, can be optional, non-essential, such as the use of white is better than not to use it, so white jade It is rarely used today. Those who have red and green will also remove the white land. In other words: the jadeite used today must be completely jade, that is, the color is not good, and the person with white space must not use it.†Only after 20 years There is no market for Bai Cui.
The modern "water color" and "thickness, yang, beauty, righteousness, and harmony" are not elaborated one by one.
I believe that if someone reads it, they will have a general understanding of the aesthetic changes of the emerald in the Qing Dynasty. Then, when we see an old jade material selection, have we been able to roughly classify it into an appropriate era? This is part of the temperament emitted by the artifacts mentioned above. That is, we often hear "something can talk."
In fact, all ancient artifacts have a similar situation. Jade is just a small example. The aesthetic change of Hotan is a very long and interesting journey.
We usually see that in the antiques, we highly respect the "hands-on" and think that the "reading" is just a matter of paper. Even for the friends who are willing to study, the name is “academicâ€. This name is undoubtedly a slightly derogatory term relative to the “practical factionâ€. The meaning behind it is roughly the stupid nerd of “four-eyed pheasantâ€.
But is reading so stupid? At least when you read the above contents, do you think that reading is so stupid? Do not read books, do not bubble museums, relying on experience and imagination, where is the basis for the generation? It is useless to say a book, not the fault of the book, but the reading does not understand.
The ancients "the book has its own gold house, the book has its own Yan Ruyu", the book, carrying a bit of an era, the gold house, Yan Ruyu can not count, but from the books of each generation, to see the aesthetic changes, likes and dislikes The change, to explore the spirit of the times, is very easy to do.
Reading is indeed the most stupid way, but it is also the most reliable method. I also hope that the "smart people" and "old collectors" who take shortcuts will be less and less, and the "nerds" and "primary school students" who are comfortable reading will have more. some more.
There are many different types of agate depending on
the colors and formation. Common types of agate include blue agate, moss
agate, green agate, tree and wood agate, Indian black agate, Montana
