In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, the Western Regions drove chaos frequently, and the jade road was blocked, until the 24th year of Qianlong quelled the rebellion, and finally restored the jade road that had been interrupted for more than 100 years, and only in spring and autumn every year, there were as many as 4,000 catties of Hetian tribute jade. There are enough raw materials to ensure Qianlong's love for jade. The Qianlong Dynasty can carve a five-ton Dayu water control map Yushanzi, and can also carve a large number of jade furnishings and wear jade, especially to meet Qianlong's love for jade stationery. Qianlong, although his "qualifications" are average, he is extremely conceited, he has always regarded himself as a literati, and Emperor Qianlong has always lived in his heart. The special preference for jade stationery is the result of this psychological effect.
At the Poly "Jade See Qianlong" Jade Exhibition, jade stationery accounted for a small part, and jade pen holders and jade pen washes all had royal things. There are two pieces of jade pen wash - white jade carving Shuanglong live ring ear catfish wash and jasper every year there are more than live ring ear wash - big, like a small basin, good jade quality, high-grade Hetian jade, exquisite carving, meaning auspicious, should be a treasure for the royal study.
