Jade characters are a unique cultural carrier that combines writing with jade materials and craftsmanship. Using jade as the medium, they present textual content through techniques like carving and inlaying, integrating practical, aesthetic, and cultural values.

Their forms are diverse: they include characters (such as seal script and official script) engraved on the surface of jade artifacts like jade discs, plaques, and pendants—with content often being auspicious phrases, poems, or inscriptions. There are also three-dimensional works where jade is carved into the shape of characters, requiring a balance between the natural texture of jade and the structural beauty of the writing.

During creation, the properties of jade must be considered: the layout of characters is designed based on the jade’s color and texture, and the carving techniques emphasize delicacy and fluency to avoid damaging the integrity of the jade material. Integrating jade carving craftsmanship with the art of writing, jade characters are not only an extension of traditional jade culture but also a bearer of historical information and human emotions, commonly seen in collection, decoration, and cultural inheritance scenarios.
