Carving out a symbol of virtue
Editor's note: Traditional arts and crafts are supreme examples of Chinese cultural heritage. A jadeite miniature of Taishan Mountain, majestic yet intricately detailed, faithfully conveys the grandeur of the spot that has captivated ancient Chinese emperors and literati of the past and today. The mountain located in East China's Shandong province was not only a symbol of the pinnacle of feudal power in ancient times, but also an inexhaustible source of inspiration for those holding the pen. The essence of the jadeite's texture and the exquisite craftsmanship of jade carving run parallel in this masterpiece. The technique qiaose dates back to the Shang Dynasty and is one of the most commonly applied methods in jade carving to reflect the artisans' ingenuity.
