Basic Introduction to Bengbu Jade Carving

Bengbu Jade Carving is a folk carving art of the Han ethnic group in Bengbu City, Anhui Province. It is a carving craft made from various types of jade and stones. Bengbu jade carving began in 1949, originating from the "Chain Bottle" carved from amber jade by Bengbu jade carving artists. After the establishment of Bengbu Jade Carving Factory in 1958, production was expanded and innovation was carried out to make this artistic product more brilliant. Bengbu jade carving is made from raw materials such as jade, jasper, coral, agate, malachite, and xiuyu. By utilizing their natural form and color, and through hollow carving, they create various and sparkling figures, as well as flowers, birds, fish, and insects

Under the careful design of the designer and the embellishment of the jade craftsman's divine skills, a piece of jade embryo is depicted vividly and vividly. From material selection, design, carving, to polishing, every link and process is strictly controlled, striving for excellence. Each carved product has a unique shape, exquisite carving, delicate texture, bright color, warm and smooth, exquisite and translucent. Due to the fact that jade carving is not as easily corroded as metal or wood, nor as easily broken as pottery, it has extremely high artistic appreciation and collection value

These jade carving workers and technicians were passed down by hand and became the technical support for hundreds of antique jade production workshops in Bengbu City. At the same time, some large jade production enterprises and workshops in the city went out and invited technical personnel from Suzhou, Yangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, Henan and other places, making the craftsmanship level of antique jade in the city leading in China
