Liangzhu culture jade presents a colorful life scene

Jade articles are alive, especially the ancient jade that has entered the soil. Due to the burial environment and its own composition and structure, it is often surrounded by a variety of appearance traits, and the song of life that is a prosperous and decaying jade is constructed. However, no prehistoric archaeological culture or jade ware of historical period can present such a colorful life scene like the Liangzhu culture jade.

At present, the total number of Liangzhu culture jade articles, which are known to be about 20,000 pieces, can be divided into two categories: “sheng pit” and “cooked pit”. Among them, the “shengkeng” jade artifacts unearthed due to archaeological excavations or other reasons are large. The original color of the "shengkeng" jade is pale lake green, yellow green, turquoise or turquoise, etc., translucent, and the hardness is basically unchanged. After being subjected to cockroaches, the vital signs such as transparency, color, hardness and luster will gradually change, showing many gradual stages from prosperity to death: from mostly translucent, green and white, less → partially translucent, green and white. → Partially translucent, green and less white → opaque, white, with glass luster → opaque, white, no glass light → opaque, white, slightly degraded skin, until the jadeware type is damaged by soil rust, or even completely soil Instead, vital signs are irreparably lost.

“Chicken White” is the most common category in Liangzhu “shengkeng” jade. The so-called "chicken bone white" actually refers to the appearance traits of Liangzhu jade after losing its transparency and losing color after being subjected to sputum. Its coloration has no pure "white", but yellow-white, blue-white, light yellow, deep yellow. A variety of colors, rich and intertwined, like the entanglement of life into middle age. Liangzhu "chicken bone white" jade surface, often visible to the naked eye can be seen as small as sesame, as large as the water droplets of the watercress, these different sizes of crystal points usually reddish brown, hand-lighted light on the edge of the jade Light transmission can be seen on the crystal point. This feature is unique to Liangzhu's "chicken bone white" ancient jade, and it is also a barrier that has not yet been overcome.

At present, the jade ware of the imitation of Liangzhu in the area of ​​Pingyao Town is still dominated by the “chicken bone white” category. The jade material used is mainly various serpentines from Xiuyan, Liaoning Province, but the high imitation is pseudo-in the jade. The selection of materials is quite painstaking. Because the serpentine with lower hardness is difficult to polish out the bright glass luster, most of the counterfeiters use the harder Xiuyan “river abrasive”, Qinghai or Russian jade. The material is imitation of "chicken bone white". Sometimes even the purer green jade material in "River Abrasives" is used, and its color and hardness are used as materials to slightly imitate the untouched or shallow jade articles unearthed in Jiaxing and Sunan. However, the vicissitudes of life of five thousand years are difficult for the pseudo-person to simply "clone".

In the long years, the jade wares of the "shengkeng" are generally different from the trend of aging, and the loss of life. The jade unearthed after the long-term touch and personal wear of the Aiyu people, it shows a phoenix nirvana. The life is born again. Among the old jade articles in the Qing Palace collected by the Palace Museum on both sides of the Taiwan Straits, there are a number of Liangzhu ancient jade that have been blushed by the disk (the so-called "cooked pit"). This batch of jade articles was originally a "sheng pit" ancient jade unearthed in the Qing Dynasty and even earlier. Some of them even went to the end of life, but the Aiyu people's long-term careful and close-fitting wear made them come back to life. Although it is impossible to return to the original green, the colorful ruddy or rubbery black rubber is enough to prove the return of life.
