Heart-sculpted, articulate jade art

Millions of years of precipitation have given birth to the emerald-colored, pressing emerald; several spring and autumn carvings have created elegant and moving art. From ordinary people's point of view, the loneliness for a work to withstand three years is so difficult. However, only through the passage of time can we get the true essence of jade. “Wisdom·View·Wu” is a jadeite artist, Hu Rongrong, who uses rare and precious jade materials and is willing to make it simple and complex. He uses the most zen-like emptiness to express and interpret the beautiful values ​​of lovers. The artist in the magnificent colorful emerald, his life emotions, social care and dedication to the art, condensed into the emerald spirit of bise color, thousands of ideas. Every manual step is full of respect, excellence, meticulousness, and time and effort. Only in this way can we make real works of art that can impress people. Between this artist's dialogue with Jade's “Views of Wisdom” and “Enlightenment”, it is possible to excite the moving state of this gem of billions of years, and to promote the light of Chinese aesthetics that has precipitated over 5,000 years.

Time imprint: "Burma's jadeite mine will eventually be excavated one day. The better jadeite ore will become rarer and rarer. It should not be just a tool for making money, but it should become an artwork." This is the death of Hu Rongrong's grandfather. What he said to him. Jade, as the representative of the oriental jade, has long been synonymous with wealth and desire because of its zealous exploitation and pursuit. It is pursuing the most profitable products. How can we get rid of the vulgarity of this money and allow Jade to return to its fundamental ornamental value and leave the aesthetic memory for the world? Hu Yurong, who had been attached to jade for decades, concluded that "it takes time to precipitate." Born in the Jade family, Hu Yurong grew up in a family full of bizarre stones. When he was 6 years old, he was the first to "knife" on these stones. "At that time, I didn't know about the emerald polishing. The carving was exactly the same thing. I just chopped the knife and the wood and chopped it hard. At the time, I also chopped my hand." Perhaps, for him at that time, this move was so ignorant and clumsy, but also because he discovered the light and truth of jade. "A piece of jade art can not be accomplished without hacking. It is slowly polished and carve carefully. It can only be done with the passage of time."

In one corner of the exhibition hall, a shrinking lotus leaf with a height of 10 cm wide and a width of 16 cm attracted a lot of attention. In front of the eyes, the rare ice, the three-colored emerald, makes it impossible to imagine a hard stone carved into a soft, curly lotus leaf, and the light green Lotus leaf veins that have been carefully polished. Perhaps the exquisiteness and softness of all this impressed you deeply, allowing you to watch it for a moment, but behind this eye-catching glory, it took designers and craftsmen several spring years. An elegant and moving jadeite artwork needs to be created through twelve processes. In the face of the original stone that has been cut open, the first and most important thing is to conceive. When considering the artistry of the layout composition, it is also necessary to use the natural colors of jade materials to determine the style and aesthetic vocabulary of the performance of the work. After examination and consideration, it is possible to apply the aesthetics to aesthetics and incorporate aesthetics into the jade design. "According to the fineness and difficulty of jadeite art, the time it takes to design is not the same. Maybe a couple of months, maybe two or three years." Hu Yurong explained to us that the preparatory work for engraving jadeite can not be ignored. The next step is a series of actions by the craftsmen, from hook-like, cut-shaped, and blank to carved, polished, polished, from coarse to fine, from large to small. In each of the 12 key processes, every step is the ingenuity and prudence of pride. Each second marks a beautiful imprint on the emerald that has been made for millions of years.

Returning to the origin, the ancients also said that "Although jade is of good quality, it lies in the stone, it is not worthwhile. It is not different from the rubble." It is said that the jade must be carefully polished and polished before it can be more attractive. Hu Xiaorong once compared this analogy. If the failure rate of production is 99%, and the success rate is only 1%, then the goal of design and production is the 1%. This is Fu Yu jewelry in the modern, mechanized production, still insist on returning to the origin, using the best interpretation of exquisite design and hand-carved. “A good piece of art is to move our visual and tactile touches from its styling and carving.” This is Hu Lirong’s request for 1%, which requires investment in this 1%. It is not only time and money, but more importantly, the intentions and wisdom of designers and craftsmen. “We don’t think about business. We only think about art, think about how to make the world see the milestones of Chinese aesthetics, and how to make the work leave new memories for the world.”

Hu Yurong's inspiration comes from Buddhist wisdom, ancient Chinese art, or his own insights and experiences. When he had a new idea for an artwork, he asked the engraver to continue polishing until it was perfect. In order to devote himself to full-hearted manufacturing, before the start of each work, Hu Rongrong and the engraver took a closed meditation together, took a deep breath, and adjusted the state before putting it into processing. “Communicating with artisans is very important, and only if you reach a consensus on the concept and value of the works can you succeed in making a unique and innovative jade artwork.” In order to sculpt the perfect art, from the previous design It is necessary to consider the problems and risks encountered in the entire engraving process. Only such forward-looking actions can allow craftsmen to boldly realize what they are thinking. “Emerald's design, this process usually takes a lot of time, because once you cut the jade material you can't come back again and you have to be very cautious. You have to be clear about where the risk is and the risk is high. At this time, what you need is to communicate and comfort with the craftsmen. , to adjust their state of mind to the best state. "Every one appreciates appreciation of jade art audience, they will have unlimited fun. And Hu Rongrong also understands that the craftsmen can sculpt a piece of jade with a certain kind of mood, and they can give the audience a feeling of what kind. Only when craftsmen put their hearts and souls into their respect for the art of jade, will they strive for excellence and do it meticulously, at the same time and at cost. Only in this way can a work that impresses the mind, a work that allows aesthetics to leave a memory, can be presented perfectly. If you say that the peace and joy of your hand, only the fingertips can be touched, only the hands can feel it. The fine craftsmanship that only the soul can give to its life and vitality, and only the soul can enable jade and the viewer to start a dialogue.

With the experience of hundreds of millions of years of precipitation and precipitation, the emerald is like a heavenly treasure. Therefore, in the traditional idea of ​​jade carving, the designer always hopes to keep the size of the original jade stone as much as possible. However, Hu Yurong did not hesitate to remove excess stones in the process of emerald carving. How much of the original stone was left is also known as generous “waste” by the outside world. This is an extraordinary piece of work. After a piece of about 9 kilograms of rough stone was sculpted over three years, most of it was powdered, and the remaining 1 kilogram was hollowed out into a leafless leaf that left only the veins. A jadeite with a hardness of more than 7 degrees Mohley can actually make such a shape, which is amazing. The ancient hollow carving and thin tire carving reached the extreme state after the joint efforts of him and artisans. It is also a piece of orchid theme works of Treasure, but it also strengthens the characteristics of thinness, lightness and transparency. Among them, the combination of orchids and butterflies has only a very fine connection.

For the production of jadeite art, the extra rough stone was cut off and the color of jade itself was preserved. “It took billions of years for the earth to bred the emerald stone. It is non-renewable. It is the treasure of the earth. The color of the emerald is given by the earth and should be preserved as much as possible.” Perhaps the traditional concept is that green is the emerald The most moving places, but in the eyes of Hu Rongrong, the various colors of jade itself should have its merits. Therefore, in the design of the Jadeite Artwork, the artwork itself is conceived according to the texture and color characteristics of Jade, demonstrating its natural beauty. “In the design of jadeite, we are pursuing elegance. When we discussed with the late former president of the National Palace Museum in Taipei, Qin Xiaoyi, we reached a consensus that we do not have to pursue the largest in the world. We must pursue the finest in the world. , the most elegant work.Although I took the stone away, but I put the most essential 30 percent or 20 percent, through the elimination of innovative technology to leave it, retaining the natural nature The United States.” For the choice of jadeite, one is to keep one off as much as possible, and the balance between the two is a realization of Jade Aesthetics. Emerald's elegant and moving, brilliance and brilliance; the emerald's imperial elegance, continue to break through tradition; the passage of time, pious craftsmanship, for the emerald washed away the vulgarity of money, retained the most primitive for the emerald Dignity and imprint.
