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.

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.
