Why is the jade of the Forbidden City "green"?

Jade is not a long time in China, but it has been a hundred years. During the Qing Dynasty, due to the pursuit of the royal family and the enthusiasm of the emperor of the Republic of China, the descendants found business opportunities and aesthetic values ​​in the jade. Nowadays, there are many jadeites of the Qing Dynasty preserved in the Forbidden City. The number of jadeites is more than 800 pieces. However, in so many jadeite collections, rare ice and glass species are rare. The reason for this is that Xiaobian is your eighth.

What jade is hidden in the Forbidden City?

Most of the jadeite preserved in the Forbidden City came from the Qing Dynasty. During the period of Cixi's power, most of the jade collections were old pit jade, but the water was not good, and most of them did not meet the ice standards. Compared with the current pursuit of ice and glass jade, the ancestors pay more attention to the color of jade. Most of the collections in the Forbidden City are very good in color. There are a lot of green materials on the white background, with a sense of layering. There are not many green ones.

清代的翠太平有象磬

In the Qing Dynasty, Cui Taiping had a symbolic height, 24 cm high, 26.5 cm long and 0.7 cm thick. The jade jade texture has some white spots in the emerald green. The flaky, one-sided bas-relief giant elephant, looks back to the right, with long nose and long teeth on the buttocks. The tail is thin and short, and the front is right. The legs are thick, the front legs are forward, and the hind legs are backwards. The other side is carved with a cloud pattern, and the middle part is raised in a circle. The circle is engraved with the words "Tai Ping has a picture" to explain the frontal meaning. Five pine balls are carved on the upper part of the raft, and one hole is in the center, and the copper ring and the hook are worn.

There is no cause of ice jade in the palace.

Why did the jadeite objects in the era and even the palace not reach the ice? In fact, there are three main reasons:

Origin mining skill constraint

Even with the development of science and technology, Myanmar's jade excavation process is still relatively backward, not to mention the excavation skills of the Qing Dynasty. It can only be managed by human resources, and the jadeite material buried in the deep water is difficult to be Excavated, so most of the market is relatively easy to excavate the jade, and the water of these jade is basically more.

Most of the collections are large

The jadeite items preserved in the Forbidden City are mostly the daily necessities of the royal family members at that time. Yes, at that time, the nobles in the palace not only used jadeite to make jewelry, but also keen to make jadeite into daily necessities, such as tea sets, tableware, snuff bottles and even decoration ornaments, etc., in the jade materials excavated at that time, The kind of water is very good. To make these things, the jade material that is needed must be relatively large. After satisfying the large volume of the material, it is difficult to ensure the water together.

People's aesthetic cognition

In that era, in addition to the gentleness of people's cognition, jade is not very connected with "lumen". At that time, the jade is basically nephrite, and the texture is still relatively "real", linked to transparency. Most of them are colored glass, ice, and glass. The jade light is visually like glass, and there is no such thing as "thickness" of traditional jade. Therefore, people of that era are more likely to like jade.
