Hetian jade mining

2.

Since the national standard of jade distinguishes nephrite and jadeite, "South jadeite, North Hetian jade" has divided the pattern of North-South separation. The only similarity is that the prices of jadeite and Hetian jade are not cheap. However, most mainland jade friends do not know how the prices of Hetian jade have developed to today, Uncle Heyu came to tell you the development story of Hotan area and Hotan jade

with the popularity of uncle's articles, many jade friends have come to understand that the history of Hetian jade is older than that of Chinese civilization with historical records, and the splendid civilization of 5000 years is not as long as that of Hetian jade of 7000 years, But these histories never entered the homes of ordinary people. Until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Hetian jade was a toy of princes and nobles. It was a palace object, and ordinary people could not play with it. Of course, what more people did not know was that even after the founding of the people's Republic, Hetian jade did not enter the market on a large scale. Although there was a jade carving instry in that red era, However, it is more of a concept of state-owned units. It is just a job and there is no business

Hotan jade first began to have the concept of market-oriented, which can be traced back to the 1970s and 1980s. Speaking of that time, what did Hotan villagers usually do with Hotan jade? The answer is to build a wall at home. Because the seed material is thick and compact, it's very suitable to build a wall with mud. Until a few years ago, In some remote villages, the walls of local villagers have seed material footstones (of course, I don't know now...)

we say that back in the early days of the market, Hotan jade was proced mainly for some large pieces made by Xinjiang jade carving factory, There are also characters and Xinjiang style, mainly exported to Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Britain and France. The fashionable term in that special era was "earning foreign exchange". For example, Xinjiang Arts and crafts import and export company will also send them to the Canton Fair to participate in the exhibition

When did Hotan jade suddenly start to raise its price? This is about the national stone selection in 1999, which was jointly concted by the then Ministry of Geology and mineral resources (now withdrawn) and China Gems Association. Unexpectedly, it took four years just to confirm the list because of the active participation of all regions. You should know that all regions of the country were very interested in this kind of national "name" at that time, Once you get it, you can get a lot of economic benefits and promote the development of the local area. Therefore, this selection has been held for six years. In the end, Hetian jade of Xinjiang won and became the "national stone of China"

you know, in 1999, Hetian jade was sold in piles. A good pile of materials was sold for thousands of yuan, and the deal would only be concluded after bargaining back and forth. When the name of" national stone of China "came down, especially good materials began to be sold, Even in the early days of the event, Hotan Yu was the most popular, so she came into people's view and became the "China baby" known all over the country

since then, Hetian jade has slowly embarked on a rocket like soaring road. In 2004, Hetian region began to study Hetian jade as an instry, first held a Hetian jade Tourism Culture Festival, and later organized two academic seminars on Hetian jade culture, The effect is very remarkable. In that year, the GDP of Hotan area increased by 10%, and the fiscal revenue increased by 60%. The success of these promotion activities made the people all over the country know that Hotan jade is a treasure, and finally it was completely marketized. The national climax never stopped until the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Hotan jade was selected as the medal of the 2008 Olympic Games, The combination of economy and culture has finally been exported. From then on, Hotan jade's value began to soar on the rocket

now when we walk into Hotan, we can see jade shops almost everywhere on the street. The busiest bazaar in the local area is the night market and jade market (now it's a closed type with ceiling and security, it's no longer the scattered stalls in the past), Almost every family has several relatives who make jade. Even if you just get into a taxi, the driver will take out a few treasures from any corner, pretending to be mysterious and asking you to appreciate them. Jade culture has a profound impact on Hotan and changed the border city

as time flies, more and more people rely on Hetian jade to make a fortune. There are a lot of excavators on the Yulong Kashi River, accompanied by more and more domineering and BMW cars in the city, GDP is increasing along with sandstorm and flood. The destruction of the environment has begun to perplex the once quiet "Pearl of Southern Xinjiang". A few years ago, as long as you paid some fees, you could dig three feet of a piece of land and dig seeds in the name of mining. This destructive excavation has brought huge risks to the river. Now the management is becoming more and more strict, and the machinery is graally less, But as long as the seed jade is proced, the competition between man and nature will not disappear

Hotan jade's market and relevant laws and regulations will be graally improved, just like those busy days and nights for the sake of making a fortune, snow mountain breeds the seed material of running water, It is the legend of Hotan jade that continues

3. Like Tian Yu, there are two main types. One is to dig the whole mountain like mining, which is called mountain material. The other is to manually dive or mechanically pick up the stones washed in the river.

It means that every piece of jade has a special fate with people. In the jargon, it is "eye fate". This is a strange feeling between jade and people

first, look at the color

Color is the most important factor to evaluate the quality of jade. The jade with uniform, positive, dense and positive color is the top grade“ "Uniform" means uniform“ "Yang" refers to the bright color, giving people a cheerful, no knot feeling“ "Thick" refers to the dark color“ "Positive" means that there are no other colors mixed together

Second, look at the texture

jade is a polycrystalline mineral formed by silicate under high temperature and high pressure. The size of its constituent crystals will directly affect the smoothness, transparency and hue after polishing. Therefore, the finer the polycrystalline structure, the better the texture of jade
