Dantai Spring Dawn Jade Mountain

[Dantai Chunxiao Jade Mountain]

Dantai Chunxiao Jade Mountain, located in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, is 105 centimeters high, 150 centimeters wide, and 77 centimeters thick. It weighs approximately 1500 kg
Commonly known as “Shoushan”. Yushan raw materials come from Hetian, Xinjiang. The official script “Dantai Spring Dawn” is engraved on the upper left corner of Yushan Mountain. In the lower right corner, there is a poem that reads, “The entrance of the hall is like a screen, and the carving and writing are more flexible than the writing. The Dantai painting shows Xiaochunli, and the stone room is known as Ji Daoxin. The green and white chapters are like colorless, and the carved trees on the carved peak form themselves. The fairy boy kneaded the medicine cloud Qu to return, and the Taiyi furnace guarded the six Ding.” The inscription reads, “Qianlong’s Xin Chou Zhong Chun Yue Yu Ti.” (For the poem, see Volume 78 of the fourth episode of the “Poems Made by Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty.”)
This painting of the Jade Mountain was designed by Fang Cong, a court painter of the Qing Dynasty, After four years of careful carving, Yangzhou jade craftsmanship was completed in October of the 45th year of Qianlong’s reign in the Qing Dynasty (1780). It symbolizes “Longevity is not as old as pine in Nanshan Mountain”
It is currently displayed at the Leshou Hall
