漢白玉
White marble
是指顏色潔白的細(xì)顆粒的大理石，潔白脂潤，堅硬細(xì)膩，是上等的建筑和雕刻材料。主要成分為碳酸鈣。傳說從漢代就開始應(yīng)用于雕刻和建筑，所以叫漢白玉。其實還有一種通俗的說法，漢白玉三個字說出了它的特征：“漢”
應(yīng)為“汗”，是說漢白玉并不是潔白無瑕的，而是隱含著淺淺的紋路，好像人出汗的印記一樣，“白”是指它的顏色要白的刺眼，“玉”指它瑩潤有光澤，微微透光有玉感。
It refers to the fine-grained marble with white color. It is white,
greasy, hard and delicate. It is a first-class building and carving
material. The main component is calcium carbonate. It is said that it
has been used in sculpture and architecture since the Han Dynasty, so it
is called white marble. In fact, there is also a popular saying that
the three words of white marble say its characteristics: "Han" should be
"sweat", which means that white marble is not white and flawless, but
implies shallow lines, just like the mark of human sweating. "White"
means that its color should be white and dazzling, "jade" means that it
is bright, shiny, slightly transparent and jade.
