The most beautiful Guanyin jade statue, open your eyes to see the skill of your brow!

Among overseas Chinese in China, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Taiwan Province and Nanyang, the belief in Guanyin is extremely popular. As the saying goes, "Every family has Amitabha and every household has Guanyin". In the sculpture of Qingsong, Guanyin is also one of the eternal and most popular themes.

"Seeing things kindly, colorless and awesome", Guanyin always gives people a sense of intimacy and human touch; But not angry and powerful, the law is solemn.

A beautifully carved Guanyin has a solemn demeanor, but this demeanor can not be achieved simply by shaping the five senses. The treatment of Guanyin's face and hands is very important, and the details should be realistic, so that the overall performance is just right. Guanyin bodhisattva, holding a clean bottle, should also pay attention to the nuances.

So many playmates asked Miss Xia: How can I get a good Guanyin statue? There are too many "jade carvers" in the market now, and Guanyin's "face opening" and posture are also strange, but what should the most authentic Guanyin sculpture look like?

The appearance of Jade Guanyin is not only to identify whether the sculptor is exquisite or not. A jade carving Guanyin with good appearance can not only be handed down and appreciated, but even offset the wearer's anxiety, because it better shows the characteristics of Guanyin's compassion and softhearted.

Let's talk about Guanyin's eyebrows, eyes, face and Buddha's light in detail.

First of all, eyebrows

Eyebrows-The carving of eyebrows is an important part of "opening face", and the eyebrow shape design of Guanyin is also very important: willow-shaped, thin and long, curved above the eyes, "beautiful eyebrows" should be clear and neat, and there should be no impurities and cracks at the eyebrows. If it is leather jade, the color at the eyebrows should be uniform.

Second, the eyes

The eyes are the key parts to convey the spirit, and the form of Guanyin is ever-changing. Its eyes can close and rest, its eyes can look around and so on. However, no matter what kind of expression, you can't ignore the details of eye carving, the size should be the same, the left and right sides should be symmetrical, and the expression should look good.

Third, the face

Guanyin is a figure sculpture, so we must be extra cautious about the requirements of its face. The expression on the face must conform to Guanyin's image of charity and salvation, and "painting the face" is absolutely not allowed. If there is a crack in Guanyin's face, it is necessary to think carefully.

Fourth, Buddha's light

Buddha's light-the so-called Buddha's light is actually the light released from Guanyin's brow and a symbol of wisdom.

If there are impurities or spots on the Buddha's light, it will affect the aura given by the whole Buddha's light; If there is a crack in the Buddha's light, you should buy it carefully, because the crack will cut off the Buddha's light, just like cutting off the good luck brought by Guanyin, which has a great influence on the value of Guanyin itself.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) size

The size of Guanyin refers to the size ratio of Guanyin itself, and consumers choose the size ratio of Guanyin according to their own conditions. As we all know, Qingsong pays attention to fate, and buying Qingsong Guanyin pays more attention to eye fate.
