Despite being born in the jade of a wealthy family, a piece of work can be valued at tens of millions of yuan. However, new jade species such as Xixia jade, Dushan jade and gold jade, and Guangluyu and Taishan jade, which are common in Lingnan, rely on jade carving masters. Their whimsy and ingenious work also shined on the scene. In the past few days, the Yishunlai Jewelry Square on the sixth floor of Guangzhou Hualin International Jewelry City (C Hall) has been in full swing. It turned out that the second Guangdong Province "Jade Soul Award" jade carving art exhibition and Guangzhou International Jade Jewelry Culture Festival opened here.
What kind of exquisite works will be given to us by the craftsmen of the jade carving art circles in Guangdong this year? The Nanfang Daily reported to the scene for the first time and was accompanied by the teacher Wang Liqun, director of the Guangzhou Office of the Jewelry Testing Center of the China Federation of Industry and Commerce.
In the Chinese jewelry industry, as long as the FGA international jewelry appraiser Wang Liqun is mentioned, many people will not be unfamiliar. As the eldest sister of many people in the industry, Wang Liqun is already over 70 years old, but still has been active in the first line of jewelry identification. In her own words, it is "to practice and enjoy it." No matter how busy I am, once I hear someone talking about jewels, she will immediately shine and look good. Before the opening of the "Jade Soul Award", the organizer conveniently invited her to serve as a member of the selection and supervision committee.
In order to facilitate the observation and exchanges between jewellery experts, collectors and industry professionals, the organizer Guangdong Jewelry and Jewelry Industry Association (referred to as the Provincial Jewelry Jade Association) deliberately adopted a fully transparent window design at the exhibition site. The people who watched the exhibition, whether they chose to lift the elevator or take the elevator, stepped on the floor of the sixth floor, and they were immediately surrounded by a dazzling array of jade carvings. A series of colorful and varied stones, through the bold ideas and craftsmanship of the craftsmen, some become lifelike flying insects, some become the bridge of the heavens and the earth, the old house, the human landscape and the ecology Everything has everything, too many enumerations... The reporter saw at the scene that the three main exhibition halls are actually glass houses that are arranged by rows of windows, along the corridors extending in all directions. Every step, you can enjoy jade carvings from different directions. .
The "Jade Soul Award" is the highest award in the jade carving industry in Guangdong. According to Wang Qiqin, secretary general of the Provincial Jewelry Association, the organizers received nearly 500 pieces of works this year, and only 300 of them were exhibited on the spot. Actually, this is the fine exhibition of the jade carving art selection. The event will be held from September 6th to 11th for a period of 6 days. After the expiration of the exhibition period, the judges will select the winners of the 2nd Guangdong Province “Jade Soul Award†from all the jade carvings. “The gold awards accounted for 5%, the silver awards accounted for 10%, the bronze awards accounted for 15%, and the best craft awards and best creative awards. The organizers will finally select a number of the winning entries. Participated in the selection of the national jade carving industry's highest award 'Tiangong Award'."
The reporter learned at the scene that this year's "Jade Soul Award" was chosen as the traditional "luxury" of the jade world such as jade and Hetian jade. Wang Liqun pointed to a jadeite work with a whole body of green and green, with pine, bamboo and plum as the creative theme. The material of this piece is very rare, and the craftsmanship and creativity of the workmanship and exquisite workmanship are attracted. A lot of collectors' attention, there are people in the industry who have made tens of millions of valuations. The reporter saw at the scene a piece of works by Xi Yao Yuchi, and the material of Xinjiang Hetian Yubiyu, "18 Arhats", with a total length of 227CM, plus a width of 40CM, a height of 57CM, the whole weight actually reached 800 kilograms, becoming the whole One of the largest jade carvings in the field, many collectors are lamenting how the staff lifted it up.
Under the guidance of Wang Liqun, the reporters observed the works of the audience one by one. Several exhibition halls came down and found that in addition to the jade carvings such as jade, Hetian jade, Huanglongyu, Guangluyu and Taishan jade, which are common in the province, There are Jinsiyu from Xinjiang, Daiyu from Liaoning, Dushanyu from Henan, and Xixiayu. "Compared with the previous session, the works of this year's participating works are obviously much more from the new jade species." Yu Liqun pointed out that this aspect reflects that the upstream resources supporting the entire jade market have become increasingly tense in recent years. Under this circumstance, the market activity must be maintained, and new jade species must come in. On the other hand, it shows that with the development of China’s jade culture, the appreciation level of jade in these years has been continuously improved. This also drives the market's demand to continue to diversify, and the original industrial structure dominated by Jade and Hetian jade is also changing. Wang Liqun believes that through the selection of the "Jade Soul Award", a batch of jade carvings of new jade species can be brought to the market and gain more recognition from collectors and consumers.
Hu Hongjun, a jewellery and jade appreciation expert who was on the scene with the reporter, is also very optimistic about the future prospects of the new jade. He believes that the development of jade culture will inevitably lead to the emergence of many new jade species. In turn, the diversification of the market will also promote the continuous extension of jade culture. In his view, jade carving masters often find the "potential stocks" of these jade industries earlier than collectors.
