Jade carved WuengJonqとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Jade carved WuengJonq was a kind of Jade carved work of art in ancient China (i.e. the Ancient Old Jade) by using the so-called Han-Eight-Cuts technique to carve it. Jade carved WuengJonq was carried by ancient Chinese royal and noble family members as the personal body-guardian to resist from the Evils and the Miserable. WuengJonqwas a General in Qin Dynasty China. The First Emperor of Qin Dynasty sent him to defend the border owing to his tall and strong appearance. Then the people in Han Dynasty thereafter simulated his figure to be carved into a Jade pendant as the personal body-guardian to resist from the Evils and the Miserable. There are few ancient Jade carved WuengJonqs(real Ancient Old Jade) left existing in the present days except those in the Museums. Especially the Suet-like Milky White Jade carved WuengJonqwill surely be the best and the most expensive one of this kind, owing to that the Suet-like Milky White Jade was the Queen's privilege only in ancient China and at present days the Suet-like Milky White Jade raw material stone has been hiked to the price at USD 330 (still not yet at the peak) per gram. Present carving techniques with powerful machine tools can not compete with those skillful manpower techniques of the imperial Jade Masters selected by the ancient royal government. Thus it's rare for a modern to possess a real ancient Suet-like Milky White Jade carved WuengJonq (real Ancient Old Jade) as his (her) own personal carrying belongings for the purpose of body-guardian to resist from the Evils and the Miserable. People can find one in the collection of the Royal Ontario Museum of Archaeology, Toronto, Canadaand another one in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, U.S.A( Na Ji-liang [The National Palace Museum of Taiwan, Jade Consultant] (1990). "China Ancient Old Jade photos and illustrations", Nan Tian Book Publishing Co., Ltd, Taipei, Taiwan, ISBN 957-9482-24-1 Page 327 - Page 329 ). Han-Eight-Cutswas the simplest technique for Jade Master in Han Dynasty (206 BC – AD 220) to use only seven or eight cuts of carving for a single fine jade work of art to be done well. [1] [2]
