As an important carrier of Chinese civilization, jade carving carries thousands of years of technical wisdom and humanistic spirit. Under the wave of globalization and modernization, traditional craftsmanship is facing a crisis of inheritance and a challenge of innovation, while the rise of modern cultural styles has injected new vitality into jade carving, but has also brought about the hidden worry of the dilution of cultural connotations. Currently, the industry is in dire need of exploring the balance between traditional craftsmanship and modern aesthetics, in order to maintain the craftsmanship essence of jade carving while meeting the diverse needs of contemporary society. The study focuses on the path and strategy of integrating the two, and reveals the synergistic logic of technology, aesthetics and cultural values in the process of integration by analyzing the characteristics of traditional techniques and the nature of modern cultural styles. This is not only about the survival and renewal of the art of jade carving, but also a practice of creative transformation of traditional culture in the contemporary context. The study aims to provide the industry with references with both theoretical depth and practical value, and to promote the transformation of traditional crafts from “museum exhibits” to “living artworks”.
