Root carving is to create artistic works of characters, animals, utensils and other artistic images through conception, artistic processing and process, taking the autogenetic form and distorted form of tree roots (including tree bodies, nodules, bamboo roots, etc.) as the object of artistic creation. Root carving art is a kind of plastic art that finds natural beauty and shows creative processing. The so-called "three parts of labor, seven parts of nature" means that in the creation of root carving, most of the natural forms of root materials should be used to express artistic images, and a few of them should be artificially processed and modified. Therefore, root carving is also called "root art" or "root art". The basic technique of root carving is to use exaggeration, fantasy and abstraction to reflect real life. To be specific, it is to make a comprehensive and careful observation of the selected root material and make a clever idea. By virtue of its shape, texture, knots, concavity and convexity, curvature, holes, and so on, it is a bold idea to combine the virtual with the real. The line seeks the usable value of the material itself with a variety of themes and contents, and is good at finding the extraordinary from the ordinary, and gradually determines the overall image of the creation. It is very important to make clear the creative idea and imagine boldly for the root generation creation.
Microcarvings pay special attention to the selection of materials. The stone material should be absolutely pure, and there should be no sand grid or half silk cracks, because half a sand dot may damage a fine picture or more than 10 Chinese characters. Secondly, the micro carving knife is also a special thin knife, which should be sharp and sharp. It is necessary to have a particularly proficient knowledge of calligraphy and traditional Chinese painting. When carving, "meaning carving" and "meaning carving" can be carried out. Hold your breath and concentrate on your thoughts on the spot. The knife should be stable, accurate and ruthless. The micro carved knife is just a pen. The skill is not enough. Because the knife is slightly out of control, it doesn't reach its purpose. The calligraphy effect must be paid attention to when matching the micro engraving inscriptions on the micro sculpture works. The creators should avoid the ugly appearance, the skew of characters, the uneven lines, the inaccuracy of paintings, and the imbalance of matching. We should grasp the artistic effect of the line changes produced by cutting tools and customized stones. Only in this way can calligraphy and knife techniques and strokes be perfectly unified.
Marble, granite, Hui'an stone, Qingtian stone, Shoushan stone, Guicui stone and other materials are generally used for stone carving. Granite and marble are suitable for carving large statues; Qingtian stone and Shoushan stone are rich in color, which are more suitable for small stone carvings. There are many ways to make stone carvings. According to the nature of stone materials and the habits of the carvers, stone carvings can be roughly divided into two types: first, traditional methods. Conception, composition, modeling and stone carving are all done by individuals alone. For large-scale carving of lines, the horizontal and vertical lines shall be drawn on the stone, the grid shall be made to take materials, and the simple measurement and positioning method shall be used for carving. The second is to adopt a new process, that is, first make a clay sculpture, turn it into a plaster statue, then take the plaster statue (model) as the basis, rely on the point shaped instrument, and then carve it into a stone statue.
When people talk about jade cultivation, the word "cultivation" not only tells us that jade is a living substance, but also contains a lot of knowledge. The maintenance of jade jewelry can be summarized as follows: the hardness of jade is very high, but it is easy to crack after collision. Sometimes, although the cracks cannot be seen with the naked eye, the molecular structure in the surface of jade has been damaged, with dark cracks, which greatly damages its perfection and economic value. Avoid dust as much as possible. If there is dust on daily jadeware, it should be cleaned with a soft brush; If dirt or oil stains are attached to the surface of the jade, they should be brushed with mild soapy water, and then washed with clean water.

If it is high-grade jade jewelry, do not place it on the counter to avoid dust and affect the transparency. Try to avoid contact with perfume, chemicals, soap and human sweat. If jade is exposed to too much sweat and is not wiped clean immediately after wearing, it will be eroded, causing damage to the outer layer and affecting the original brightness. Especially the "glass ground" jadeite and white sheepskin jade, which also avoid sweat and grease. Jade should be protected from the sun, because the expansion of jade in case of heat will affect its quality. Hibiscus jade, crystal, agate, etc. may even burst under high heat. Wipe the accessories with clean and soft white cloth, not with dyed cloth or hard fiber cloth. Jade jewelry inlaid with diamonds, rubies, emeralds and other precious stones should only be wiped with a clean white cloth to remove grease, dust, etc., which helps maintain and maintain the original quality. Keep proper humidity. The quality of jade depends on a certain humidity, especially for aquabilite and crystal jade. The surrounding environment shall not be too dry.
