"Yuzai" Qianlong: The jade in half of the Forbidden Palace is his

Jade enjoys a very high status in Chinese history. It is also an important part of Chinese traditional culture. Jade's virtue has deeply influenced the thinking of the Chinese people. The jade culture contains the patriotic national gas festival of "Ning is the jade"; the unity and love style of "becoming a jade"; the selfless dedication of "moisturizing and warming"; the "clean and honest" is clean and honest. China's jade culture has a long history. Confucius said: "The husband of the past, the gentleman is better than the jade." In ancient times, the Germans were all admired with jade, always constraining themselves with the virtue of jade: the gentleman is jade, the jade is the gentleman. This custom continues to this day.

After experiencing the late Neolithic period, Shang and Zhou, the Warring States to the Han Dynasty and the four peaks of the Ming Dynasty, the art of jade carving reached its peak during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

Eight hundred poems of Saitama poetry can be called "玉痴"

Really speaking about the people who love jade in Chinese history, I am afraid everyone should mention the Emperor Qianlong. Although the emperors used jade as the beauty, they really became the first to promote the jade.

Emperor Qianlong was extremely fond of jade. According to incomplete statistics, there are nearly 800 poems of Emperor Yulong in the royal poems of Emperor Qianlong! More than 30,000 pieces of jade are hidden in the Palace Museum, half of which are collected by Qianlong.

When a person gives his child a name, he often hides his ambitions and hobbies. Qianlong naturally will not let this opportunity show his hobbies. Let's take a look at the names of the emperors: Yongzheng, Yongzheng, Yongzheng, Yongzheng, Yongzheng, Yongzheng, etc., all related to "Jade."

For example, "璜" means half-walled jade, "琮" means jade cylinder used for sacrifice, "璋" is the name of ancient jade, and later Jiaqing Emperor's name is Yongzhen (later renamed) "颙琰", "琰" is a kind of carved jade name. It seems that Emperor Qianlong is familiar with jade culture.

Great attention to personal review instructions

Qianlong paid great attention to the manufacture of palace jade articles, and personally asked about the composition of the staff of the office, the selection of artisans and their technical conditions. Important utensils, he also examined the drafts, wood type, wax samples, and the final decoration, furnishings, etc., personally instructed.

Qianlong also personally questioned the production process of jade, and formulated penalties for jade workers, but deducted salaries, and then reduced his duties, dismissed his duties, and corporal punishment or imprisonment.

The beauty is not as good as the beautiful jade, the jade is close to 10,000, and the beauty is not as good as the jade.

Although Qianlong has three thousand, he loves jade. As early as the reign of Emperor Qianlong, he had a special liking for this elegant luxury of jade. Every year, officials from all over the country come to the court, and there is always a beautiful jade. This is the best way to please Qianlong.

Qianlong’s hobby of playing jade is out of control, and he always tries his best to make a good jade. In addition to three times a year, he allowed the officials of the tribute to pay tribute at any time. The most officials can tribute more than 30 times a year. In order to get more and better jade, he even took out more than the market price. Give back to the tribute officer.

In his later years, his collection of ancient jade was close to 10,000. When you are free, Qianlong will take these ancient jade out every day to wipe, rub, and play. The degree of obsession with jade has far exceeded his desire to be obsessed with beauty. Those beautiful ladies in the harem are really cold!

In the Qing Dynasty, in addition to the court office, Yu Zuo, Ruyi Museum, the task of making jade articles for the court, as well as Suzhou weaving, Jiangning weaving and other places, formed a huge network of court jade production.

Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Suzhou has always been a leader in fashion. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Suzhou's jade jade craftsmanship was promoted to be the first in the country; to the Qing Dynasty, Suzhou was the country's premier Saitama Center.

Qianlong is very familiar with the situation of Suzhou jade craftsmen and jade, and is also very confident about the jade craftsmanship level of the jade craftsmen there. He believes that the jade craftsmen in Suzhou alleys are a group with considerable creative strength. Therefore, in the jade work done by the Emperor Qianlong to send Suzhou weaving, sometimes there is no sample draft, which can leave a large creative space for the craftsman.

Qianlong’s favorite precious jade is often stored in a box called “Bishshi”. The Baishi pieces are divided into 9 layers, and each drawer has a small lattice dedicated to each piece of jade.

"Hong Li Jian Gu Tu" is a court painter named Ding Guanpeng, which truly describes the scene of Emperor Qianlong appreciating ancient jade. It is also enough to see the Emperor Qianlong cherish the jade.

Aesthetic simplicity is unconventional

In the middle and late Qianlong period, the luxurious jade craftsmanship of the style was mature, but Qianlong did not care about it and felt that it did not conform to his simple aesthetic style. Any incoming items received will be returned as long as there are hollow jade articles.

However, at that time, it was indeed the trend of this kind of skill, and some people still tribute this jade. Thus, on the eve of the abdication, this jade was banned. It is so capricious to be an emperor!

After the death of Qianlong, the national power of the Qing Dynasty declined rapidly, so the demand for jade articles was greatly reduced, and the manufacture of jade articles began to fall into a trough. In the fourth year of Jiaqing (1799), the emperor even decreed that Hetian and Yarkant stopped tribute jade. After the first year of Daoguang (1821), it was not until the Qing Dynasty, and the Xinjiang jade tribute never recovered.

The ingenious Qing Dynasty jade is so fascinating that this is the charm of “Qianlonggong”. It frees the traditional Chinese jade from the solemn rituals of "the god of the gods" and "the history of the sacred scriptures" and transforms it into elaborately crafted works of art that can be played together by the royal family and the nobility!
