Craftsmanship, also known as smart color, mainly uses different colors of the material itself for processing. Jade pretty color was first seen in the Shang Dynasty. For example, two beautiful jade turtles were unearthed at the Shang Dynasty site in Xiaotun, Anyang. After the Tang Dynasty, especially in the Qing Dynasty, the craftsmanship became more mature. Due to the rich texture and color of agate itself, its charm is more unique when it is skillfully made, so many artworks of agate are left over in the past dynasties, such as the ox head cup carved from wrapped silk agate in the Tang Dynasty, the red and white agate Li Bai statue in the Ming Dynasty, and this work in the Qing Dynasty, which all show the amazing artistic charm of the artworks of agate
