Qinghua (青花) Hetian jade shows the stone's natural ink-grey and white markings together, and here a yellow skin adds a further accent. The carving follows the material's shape into the folk story of Zhong Kui marrying off his sister, with the fierce, bearded Zhong Kui rendered in a commanding pose. Listed at 107 x 44 mm and 150.7 g, this is a long, slender hand piece. Ask Yufu Jade to confirm the depth and send detail photographs of the grey-and-white patterning.

The meaning behind this piece
Zhong Kui is a folk figure said to drive away evil spirits; in the story of 钟馗嫁妹 (Zhong Kui Jia Mei) he returns with ghost soldiers to see his sister married in gratitude for a past kindness. The motif combines his fierce, protective role with a tender family duty. These are cultural associations, not promised outcomes.
Sizing and wear
At 107 x 44 mm (approx. 4.2 x 1.7 in) and 150.7 g, this is an elongated hand piece that sits long in the palm; the third dimension is confirmed per piece.
Keeping this piece at its best

Who is Zhong Kui in this carving?
Zhong Kui is a traditional demon-queller, and the scene shows him seeing his sister married in thanks for a kindness. It pairs his fierce, protective image with family loyalty, which is why the subject is so often carved.
How should I display a long hand piece like this?
A slender, narrative piece reads well on a low wooden stand tilted slightly toward the light, so the relief of the figures catches shadow. Keep it away from bright, direct sunlight.
