The dragon pattern appeared on the jade from the Neolithic period to the Qing Dynasty. After thousands of years of change, it formed the unique characteristics of each era. How to identify the age of Longyu has become a science.

● Neolithic Age

Jade is slightly soft and sturdy

The characteristics of the dragon pattern in the Neolithic period are: the dragon head is long, like a horse head, the snout is stretched forward, slightly upturned, without ears, the eyes are convex like the phoenix eye, and the eyes are like a fusiform eye, also called a diamond-shaped eye. The whole is round and has no edges and corners; the whole body is cylindrical, the light has no grain, only the embellished netting, and the shape is thick and simple, which is an important style characteristic of the Neolithic period. Mostly made of green topaz, the jade is slightly softer, and the knife is simple and rough.

●Western Zhou

Dragon body lengthening complex

The characteristics of the dragon pattern in the Western Zhou Dynasty are that the dragon tattoo body becomes slender, the tattoo on the body is also more complicated, and the lines are curved or curved. Most of the dragons are not drawn, and the dragon's body is patterned and plays a decorative role.

●Spring and Autumn to Han

Highlighted hairspring

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the perimeter of the dragon body was extruded with a double-yin line to highlight the outline of the dragon.

The dragon shape of the Han Dynasty gradually developed toward Panlong and tends to have the shape of a four-legged beast. The identification of Yulong in the Han Dynasty should grasp the characteristics of the dragon's head shape and eye shape. Secondly, the Han Dynasty had the technique of "hairspring", that is, the inscription line was as thin as a hair, and it seemed to be continuous. We can see from the dragon tattoo in the picture. I saw this kind of ornamentation that was popular in the Han Dynasty.

●Tang Dynasty

Pay attention to the charm of the majestic

During the Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, social unrest, so the jade artifacts unearthed from the tombs of this period were few, and the jade ornaments were small and active, and large jade rituals and groups of jade ornaments were barely found.

The jade carving pattern of the Tang Dynasty completely escaped the style of the Han Dynasty. During this period, the jade carving focused on the charm of the dragon, and the dragon pattern also appeared to be majestic and majestic, prosperous and prosperous.

●Song Dynasty

The sideline is thick and the dragon leg is very long.

In the Song Dynasty, there were many dragons in the body. On both sides of the body, two sides were also drawn with the inscribed lines, and the three-dimensional sense of the dragon was expressed, but the two side lines were thicker than the sidelines of the Tang Dynasty. The dragon legs are very long, especially the hind legs, and the tortuosity is large, which looks seemingly incompetent, not as powerful as the Tang Dynasty. The Yulong of the Yuan Dynasty circling and twisting, up and down, magnificent, very stylish.

●Ming Dynasty

Face long and wide eyes exposed

The faucet of the Ming dynasty was deep in the face, and the face was long and wide. Most of them were side faces, but both eyes were exposed. The eyes were round eyes, which were drilled with a small round tube and a small circle in the middle. The nipple is an eye with a high protrusion, commonly known as "shrimp eye". But the work of the Ming Dynasty was rougher than any other age.

●Qing Dynasty

"Furious hair rushing crown"

In the Qing Dynasty, the dragon pattern has a dragon of antique generation style, and there is also a dragon of this era style. In the Qing Dynasty, the dragon's head was wide and full, the distance of the dragon's horn was wide, the faucet was shorter than the Ming Dynasty, and the hair style was irregular. It seemed to grow from the periphery of the head, flying everywhere, and it was more appropriate to describe it with "angered rushing crown". The carving knife is soft, not as powerful as the previous generations. In the late Qing Dynasty, the faucet was short and flat, with no charm, and the pattern was trivial and relatively dull.
