I007. A Jade Carving of a Female Sitting Dancer

I007.  A Jade Carving of a Female Sitting Dancer (Tang Dynasty, AD 618 - 907)                                      Height: 5.13cm,Widest: 5.19cm

The Hu Ji (foreign woman) has a sweet face, an elegant sitting posture, ribbons floating, a slightly fat body and a sweet and cute look, with a natural and free expression. The jade is lucid and translucent, and the essence is refined. The sculpture and art are very good. Especially, Hu Ji (foreign woman), she is looking forward to the momentum, it is a typical masterpiece that moves in silence, and it also shows her charm, charm, vivid and vivid, Nothing can be added, it is really rare! For this reason, I can't help but think of Chang'an, the capital of Tang Dynasty, which means "long-term peace and stability". At that time, on Chang'an Street, you can see a Hu Ji (foreign woman), a wine seller, a Persian businessman who haggled over the price, and an emissary who came to China to study Chang'an accepts the coming of all directions, which is the prosperous atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty!            

Chang'an city is divided into three parts: Imperial City, palace city and Waiguo city.             The beauty of women in Chang'an may be that "clothes like clouds , faces like flowers, and the spring breeze blows at dawn in Revlon.". The plump beauty may be the exotic style of "curly hair, green eyes, tall buildings playing horizontal flute in the night".            

There are two cities in Chang'an: East and West. There are many merchants, many restaurants and more than 200 businesses. In the neighborhood of Dongshi, there are many nobles and officials, so "all kinds of treasures are accumulated";           

 Most of the Western markets selling daily necessities. There are many foreign businessmen living in the surrounding areas, which are more prosperous, also known as the "gold market".            

In Li Bai's Poem,  "Youth Travel" , he wrote: "Wuling young Gold Market East, silver saddle white horse spend spring breeze. Where can I travel with falling flowers? Laugh into Hu Ji (foreign woman) ‘s restaurant. " "Hu Ji (foreign woman) looks like a flower and smiles like a spring breeze." I don't know how many people were drunk in the dream of green eyes and curled up in this gentle and wealthy hometown, unwilling to wake up.

Chang'an is poetic, and poets linger among the restaurants of Chang'an, singing here and leaving here. Just as Du Fu's gathering in spring: "The weather is new on March 3, and there are many beautiful women on the waterfront of Chang'an."

From this, it can be shown that this "sitting posture and dancing Hu Ji (foreign woman) and white jade sculpture" is just a representative: showing the true and functional performance of the prosperous history of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

As a result, it is possible to gain a glimpse of the significant contribution of ancient cultural relics to archaeology, which is indispensable.

Ancient jade is sometimes very rare: the height, width and length are the same, which is intended to show the superiority of its craftsmanship. In terms of unique conception, such a sculpture must be a fine art!
