礼记 · 玉藻
Choosing Your Board · 如何择玉
Three ways the board finds you.
三条路径 · 皆为玉缘
Walk the eight boards without thought. The tile that stops your eye has already chosen you.
Leave your birth hour on the fortune page. The reading will point to the element you lack — and the board that carries it.
Tell the atelier your story. A stone is opened, sworn to you alone, and carved to the wish behind it.
Gifting jade is a vow. Let the guide match the person to the stone — and let the story travel with it.
The Rites · 玉之仪
Jade answers ceremony.
四仪之礼 · 玉以答之
On a day of your choosing, the piece is held to the morning light and named aloud once. From that hour it is yours, and it knows it.
Under a new moon or before a journey: rinse in clear water, dry on the palm, rest a night apart. A clean stone is a listening stone.
A jade is never handed over — it is placed, palm to palm, with the story of who wore it first. The giver’s warmth must cross with the stone.
When a kept jade changes hands, it is not sold but given — with the name of the first keeper, so the stone remembers all of them.
The House · 荣誉之证
Won by the stone, not the claim.
以石证名 · 名不虚传
For the openwork chain-piece that took eleven months to free from a single stone.
For the twin-lotus — two blooms freed from one rough, fit tested in darkness.
The house recognised as a keeper of the old river-carving school.
A limited pair of peace knots exhibited in the Palace Museum’s craft wing.
For the year’s most restrained piece — a plain white disc that needed nothing added.
