I believe that every jade carving master has encountered such people. These people often say: "I have so many jade carvings, I am not willing to give me one? It’s so stingy!", "A stone can be worth a few dollars, a moment The knife can cost a few dollars, and it takes a long time to carve a thing. It’s really awkward!â€, “For many years, it’s so hard for you to help me to carve something for me? It’s not enough!†Whenever I hear these In the words, the jade carving master's heart is broken. What is the cost of a jade carving work by a jade carving master? Do these people really know? Let us calculate it.
Time costs
If every jade carving master works 365 days a year and works 12 hours a day, then it takes 4,380 hours to spend the jade carving jade in a year, and at least seven from a beginner to a small achievement. Eight or ten years. Some jade carvings have even carved jade for a lifetime, but they are only obscured. Jade carving masters are "raised". Generally, there are no more than ten years of hard work and hard work in the industry. It is difficult to practice real kung fu. Therefore, when the jade carving master promised your request and said "no problem" to you, his seemingly relaxed surface is actually countless days and nights of penance.
Creative cost
Some people think that the jade carving master is a profiteering industry, and they will sell tens of thousands or even dozens of millions of jade. Is the truth really like this? Nowadays, high-quality jade materials are drying up, and the price of jade raw materials has risen many times. In order to buy a favorite material, jade carving masters not only have to spend a lot of energy to find good materials, but also spend real money. Buy materials. Moreover, carving knives, machines, auxiliary tools (diamond grinding heads, nails, fine rods, mixed mouths, needle sticks, umbrella sticks, hook guards), etc., all have money.
Moreover, if there is a failure in the engraving process, rework will increase the cost. If the failure is serious, a piece of material will be completely abolished, and the cost will increase dramatically. In order to sculpt a piece of work, the jade carving master often takes a long time to craft, perhaps for a month, or for months or even a year. Moreover, behind every jade carving master who has mastered a good skill, has carved out countless materials. Are these materials not expensive to buy?
Cost of life
Excellent jade carving masters often have extraordinary care for their works. Each piece of work is their child in their hearts. It is the crystallization of their innumerable efforts. Many jade carving masters use their energy and time for more than ten years, even decades, to practice carving. They carved a day, sometimes tired than doing a day of physical activity. When others have entered a gentle dream, they are still working hard under the night light. For those who dedicated the whole youth to the boring jade carving career, the people who buy jade spend money, and the jade carving master spends their lives! ! !
Learning cost
The jade carving industry is an industry that has been eliminated very quickly. If a jade carving master does not study well and does not take the initiative to master newer market information and carving skills, he will not be able to progress and will be eliminated by the market and his peers. Therefore, they must read books as soon as they have time, and learn more about them. As long as they still have a jade carving master, they can't relax. Their learning pressure is ubiquitous.
Health cost
Every jade carving master basically has occupational diseases: cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis, acid cramps, edema (caused by long-term sitting still), knuckle pain, perennial inhalation of jade dust, etc. This kind of occupational disease has already made them 100 % suffers from sub-health. When they are older, their physical condition will not allow them to pursue this profession again. A jade-carver with a dim eye, his career has come to an end.
After reading the above, do you still think that the jade carving master's work should be given to friends for free? Still think that their works should not sell for a good price? The work of the jade carving master is the product, and more belongs to the spiritual product. The material product has the cost. The cost of the spiritual product consumes life. The jade carving master has paid so much. If you don’t see it, it does not mean that he did not suffer.
Therefore, we should not say that the jade carving master is stingy. We should respect the exquisite technology and exquisite creativity that the jade carving master has exchanged for countless time, money and energy. This is the minimum respect for the jade carving master, and it is also for our own personality. respect. If you want, just spend money.
In fact, this phenomenon is not only found in the jade carving industry, but also in other art industries such as calligraphy, painting, sculpture, and photography. Therefore, people in the art industry, in the face of "free requests," do not be embarrassed to refuse, embarrassed is to destroy themselves, suicide in disguise. They should be told loudly: I want to live too, and I want to be relaxed.
