There are 30,000 pieces of jade in the Forbidden City, 20,000 of which are Qing Dynasty jade, half of which were made in the Qianlong Dynasty. After Qianlong quelled the rebellion of Hezhuo, the jade road was unblocked again, and Xinjiang Hetian jade could be continuously transported into the hinterland. Qianlong's "great joy" and pursuit of "perfect" character made the production of artworks in the Qianlong Dynasty, especially the production of jade, more and better. There is even a proper noun - Qianlong Gong, the characteristic of "Qianlong Gong" is that regardless of the cost of materials and production, excellence in craftsmanship, perfection.
Qianlong can spend more than ten years of hard work to carve the five-ton Yu water control map Yushanzi, and can also use high-quality small jade materials to carve people and animals "casually", and play and appreciate them at any time.
A while ago, Poly held a free "Jade See Qianlong - Qing Dynasty Court Jade Exhibition", which featured Qianlong Gongyu figures and animals. The common characteristics are good jade quality, good design, good carving, and good polishing. The difference is that the jade quality of the jade carving characters is purer, and the jade quality of the jade carving animals is more beautiful. In short, the jade carving figures and animals of the Qianlong Dynasty look very comfortable, as if they have one!
