Jadeware ranks first among the “Four Great Names†(Jade, Dentistry, Cloisonne, and Carved Paint) in the old Beijing arts and crafts, and the cultural accumulation is extremely deep. In the early Qing Dynasty, the southern jade craftsmanship was higher, and large jade articles were transported to the south for processing. However, by the end of the Qing Dynasty, famous masters and old Beijing had become the leader of the national jade processing. The so-called "successful work, must get the Beijing workers", the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China "Ban Bingheng of the stinky rice, He Rong of the sea, Liu Deying of the small pepper, Wang Shusen and Kong Kongming" are known as the "Four Big Monsters". The three nicknames are derived from the design, and Pan Bingheng is because of poverty. By borrowing money to pay for the work, plus his strong personality, maverick, hence the name. Traditional grinding jade is very hard, sitting on the "water bench", the feet keep moving like a bicycle, driving the brakes, using sand to a little bit of abrasive jade, one day down, the sleeves and pants are the fastest, so-called " Some women do not marry Mo Yulang, and they keep their vacancies for three years; they will go home one day and make up their sleeves and make up their pants." The same piece of jade, a good jade worker can produce more materials, and the value is therefore so bullish. Why do old Beijingers love jade so much? Among them, the traditional concept of "gentleman like jade" is infiltrated. In the "Book of Songs", there is a saying of "modest and gentleman, gentle as jade". In the Han Dynasty, Xu Shen said: "Jade, the beauty of stone has five virtues. It is warm and the side of the benevolence; From the outside, you can know the middle, the righteous side is also; its sound is Shu Yang, specializing in far-sightedness, the wisdom of the side also; unrestricted and folded, the courageous side also; sharp and not sturdy, clean side also. After being worn for a long time, jade will be affected by human skin, and its own finish will also change. The ancients believed that this can bring good luck to themselves. But it is Qianlong who really set off the climax of playing jade. When Qianlong was succeeded to the throne, he made great efforts to change the style of the father’s ruthless period. He once advocated wide-ranging politics. However, after the death of Emperor Xiaoxian’s Fucha, the grief was excessive, and at that time, the ruling and opposition of the ruling and the wild, and the turmoil And just arrogant, it hurts. By the time of Emperor Qianlong 45 years ago, the Qing Dynasty reached its peak, the economy was prosperous, and the external troubles were extinct. Qianlong was overly complacent and turned to great joy and pursuit of enjoyment. Before Qianlong was rectifying the rule of law, he was not very intoxicated with luxury goods. The tribute from all over the country was also moderate, three times a year, but as he grew older, his greed grew longer, allowing officials to stay away from Changgong. In tribute, some officials have up to twenty or thirty times a year, and Qianlong does not think that he is embarrassed. For the sake of face, when the tribute is received, the emperor still has to pay a high price, and the rebate should be higher than the market price. Where can Qianlong go to engage in the money? In the Qing Dynasty, government expenditures were separated from royal expenditures. Therefore, the peace officials suggested that officials make mistakes. If there is no serious problem, they can use fines instead of dismissal. This fine is very large and is fully used for private use. With money, Qianlong is more enthusiastic about searching for treasures. He has stored nearly 10,000 pieces of ancient jade and placed it in private places. He went to stroke and enjoy the game without any problems, and catalogued them, and judged the pros and cons. In the old days of the famine, this is what it is. There is a good thing, and there will be a lot of things. The officials of the Qing Dynasty searched for good jade, which naturally stimulated the atmosphere of playing jade. Although it formed a profound cultural accumulation and promoted the progress of the process, on the whole, it was not worth the candle.
