Carving by Chinese masters. Stone (40 photos)

Stone carving is one of the oldest types of applied art in China. For carving, skilled Chinese stone carvers used jasper, jade and jadeite, which is similar in color. And besides them, there are also agate, chalcedony, turquoise, rock crystal, amethyst, coral and other stones, which even ancient masters were attracted by the variety of colors, hardness and sonority of the material. The Chinese carver is distinguished by his attitude to the material, while in the West stone is primarily valued for its even color and transparency, Chinese craftsmen are attracted by the whimsicality of the natural color of the stone and its natural shape. They inspire the Chinese master to create the most exquisite composition. Therefore, when choosing a piece of rock, he studies its shape and direction of veins for a long time, trying to subsequently use every spot and layer.
