Abstract
The article discusses the technology and basic principles of three-dimensional jade carving in China, the historical development of the technology of processing the "national stone" of Celestial Empire. The main properties of jade that determine the technology of its processing and the nomenclature of stone-cutting products, as well as the advantages associated with this mineral in Confucian philosophy, are considered. It is shown that the properties of stone raw materials largely determine the master's idea and the subsequent design of the product. It is shown that studies of the features of the processed surface of carved jade products help to date their manufacture, and traceological studies clarify the features and techniques of the ancient technology of processing this mineral.
