“White dew grows on the jade steps, and invades the stockings for a long time at night.”Li Bai uses a short cross in "Jade Level Resentment" to describe the atmospheric loneliness of the deep palace, while "Jade" highlights the gorgeous and noble characteristics of the royal family.As one of the oldest cultures in China, jade culture has lasted from the prehistoric Neolithic period to the present day. Not only has it not been interrupted or changed by the changes of dynasties, but it has been endowed with more value and connotation in the changing times, and it has lasted forever.

The eleventh episode of the large-scale intangible cultural rejuvenation documentary program - New Creation of All Things - exclusively sponsored by the Dream Blue Handicraft Class and jointly produced by Jiangsu Satellite TV and Sunshine Media Group will be launched soon. The program initiator Yang Lan once again teamed up with his friends Zhang Guoli and twoEmerging designers Zhong Hua and Wang Mengtao jointly formed a new apprenticeship group.

From photographic jade to painted jade, Yang Lan and Zhang Guoli start a mental competition

What is jade?Xu Shen, a scholar of the Han Dynasty, once explained it this way in Shuowen Jiezi - Jade is the beauty of stone.In the eyes of the ancients, jade refers to beautiful stones. How to select beautiful jade from stones is a great test of the skills of craftsmen.Therefore, this issue - New Creation of All Things - begins with a competition between Yang Lan and Zhang Guoli - Xiangyu.Geologist Zhang Hongzhao recorded in "Shi Ya": - The ancients focused on color rather than quality when distinguishing stones.“It can be seen from this that the ancients valued jade for its color.In the program, Yang Lan and Zhang Guoli identified jade through modern methods such as weight, touch, and the use of optical instruments, and carefully observed the material shape, material properties, texture, color, etc. of the jade. Their proficiency impressed the professional jade masters on the side.Everyone was amazed. I wonder if the two new Xiangyu apprentices can successfully pass the first level?​

If looking at jade is the introductory test of jade carving skills, then the next steps - discussing jade - and - painting jade - are required courses for advancing to become a jade carving craftsman.Song Shiyi, a national inheritor of jade carving in Beijing who has been making jade for 59 years, summed up the essence of jade treatment in four words in the program: discussion, painting, carving and light.In Song Shiyi's view, jade is not a cold stone, but has life, emotions, and destiny just like people. Therefore, during the jade discussion stage, it is necessary to understand the jade material thoroughly and repeatedly conceive of the form it should be presented in.He added, - It must be done carefully. Many times it takes months or years to think about a piece of material before you can find the inspiration.”In order to let the new apprenticeship group better understand the preliminary work of jade carving, Song Shiyi required the apprenticeship group to conceive and create hollow jade works in groups based on the jade-making concept of "measurement of materials and application of techniques according to materials."What is unexpected is that Zhang Guoli's group, which encountered some difficulties during the jade negotiation process, actually received help from Song Shiyi, which made Yang Lan complain about partiality.With the jade carving master Song Shiyi - Kai Xiao Zao -, can the works of Zhang Guoli's group be better?Faced with such a strong opponent, what kind of special attack will Yang Lan's team use to fight back?​

From jade exploration to jade carving, get a glimpse of the craftsmanship behind Olympic medals

The ancients said: - Although the beauty of stone lies in stone, it is not worthy of careful consideration by skilled workers, and is no different from gravel.——It is stone, but it is different from ordinary stone. Only in the process of carving and processing can its beauty be discovered and displayed to the maximum extent.This issue of the Intangible Cultural Heritage Mini Theater tells the story behind the gold and jade medals that shocked the world at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.From drawing the design draft to making the finished product, the jade carving masters only have three short months. The most difficult thing among them is not the choice of jade materials, nor the increase in wear and tear, but how to prevent the medals made of jade from falling?In the end, the jade carving masters came up with an idea and used a certain principle to make the medals easily pass the shock-proof and drop-proof test, making China's jade culture introduced to the world through Olympic medals for the first time.What kind of mystery is hidden in the gold-inlaid jade medal?We have to wait until this episode goes online to reveal it to the audience.

It is worth mentioning that this issue - New Creation of All Things - specially invited the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games men's saber champion Zhong Man to go to Zhang Tiecheng's studio with the new mentoring team to learn jade carving face to face with the gold-inlaid jade medal makerSkills, leading the audience to understand the craftsmanship behind the medals from the perspective of Olympic champions.The apprentices who first entered the studio were shocked by the prototypes of gold and jade medals in front of them. As the host of the Beijing Olympics press conference and the only person to represent Beijing twice in its bid for the Olympics, Yang Lan has unique memories and emotions about the Beijing Olympics., when she wore the Olympic medal in the show, she was instantly attracted by the memories of the past, and a feeling of pride originated from her heart.​

The seemingly simple medal actually contains many twists and turns of the story.Introduced by Zhang Tiecheng and Wang Jian, the inheritors of the Beijing tradition of jade carving, the apprentice group learned that the production of a gold-inlaid jade medal actually required a lot of repeated experiments and polishing of jade rings to complete.In order to let the apprentice group experience the birth of a piece of jade from scratch, Zhang Tiecheng immediately launched a jade-cutting test and asked the apprentice group to engage in a personal battle, which made the scene full of gunpowder.Under the careful guidance of the jade carving craftsmen, what will be the outcome of the jade polishing competition of the new apprentice group?Faced with jade that always gives people the impression of luxury and high value, how can two emerging designers use innovative ideas to bring Beijing jade carving skills into the homes of ordinary people?Every Friday at 20:20, Jiangsu Satellite TV - New Creation of All Things - explores the road to renewal of intangible cultural heritage.
