Hetian jade - the myth of the Chinese people

In the jade industry, this statement has been popular. "Gold is valuable for priceless jade." The jade referred to here is Hetian jade. At present, the increase of Hetian jade seed material far exceeds the price of the carved piece. Li Xinling, director of the Jinyin Jewelry Inspection Institute of Xinjiang Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Institute, said in an interview with Yachang.com that this phenomenon is due to the increasing awareness of jade and the value of jade being gradually explored. Then evolved into the original stone showing an explosive upward trend. Eventually it will have an impact on the entire Hetian jade industry chain. He said that now Suzhou, Yangzhou and other places are based on the price of gram and Hetian jade. However, in terms of jade processing industry, Xinjiang jade processing industry has made rapid progress in recent years, but it is still weak. The local not only employs fewer people, but also has fewer technical talents for high-end processing, and 80%-90% of the employees are dealers. The high-end processing sites are concentrated in Shanghai, Suzhou, and Yangzhou, while the low-end are concentrated in Henan, Guangdong, Anhui, Anhui and Tongcheng provinces.

Judging from the trend of the auction house market, in recent years, the wind direction of the jade collection has gradually changed, and the auction price of modern jade has even appeared to be ahead of the high ancient jade. Judging from the auction data of Zhonghongxin, a modern jade carving master’s work “Auspicious Ruyi” has a high price of 8.8 million yuan, and in November 2010, Xiqiao’s “Special Auction of Chinese Contemporary Jade Carving Master Works”, 82 pieces The total turnover rate of contemporary jade carving master works reached 90.2%, and one of the 376 grams of “Taibai drunkenness” (Hetian jade ornaments) sold a price of 9 million yuan. From April to September last year, Beijing Boguan Auction held a total of three contemporary jade carvings and famous auctions, and hundreds of contemporary jade carvings, the field turnover rate reached 100%.

Many collectors and jade carvings said that with the gradual depletion of Hetian jade resources, the fact that mining has been banned locally, this year is affected by many factors, the whole market is stable and rising, and with the recognition of Hetian jade in the future The degree of knowledge and the excavation of the value of jade culture have further deepened. Whether it is raw stone or seed material, its price will maintain a certain increase.

Guangdong is still the potential of Hetian jade collection

According to the situation of the national collection and Tianyu, according to Lin Jinbo, a Chinese jade carving master, he has been engaged in jade carving work in Shanghai since the 1990s. From the perspective of the local markets, the best market for the national collection and Tianyu is Shanghai, and most of the powerful collectors are concentrated in Shanghai, or go to Shanghai to buy collections. This is mainly determined by the carvings of Shanghai. He believes that Shanghai workers are very exquisite. In addition to the general heavy materials, jade carvings are also designed according to the needs of collectors, and the innovative ideas are relatively new. In addition, the choice of subject matter is relatively grounded, and it is also very complete, both the theme of Yangchun snow and the content of the lower Liba.

Referring to the collection of Hetian jade in the Lingnan area, the senior collector Guo Shaoyong said that the collectors in the Lingnan area generally believe that Lingnan has nothing to do with the Central Plains jade culture. It is mentioned that Lingnan is generally considered to be the concentration of jade collection. He believes that this cognition needs to be reconsidered. From the jade that was unearthed from the tomb of Nanyue King, it is the kind of Hetian jade, and the carving work is very fine. The silk jade jade unearthed together is also the white jade of the mountain material. Of course, from these ancient jade Unearthed, it can be inferred that they may have been made in the Central Plains, but it is not excluded that Lingnan is likely to have a jade workshop since that time. Looking at the current jade carvings in Guangdong, Sihui, Pingzhou and Jieyang, the crafts of jadeite are still fine, but the carvings of Hetian jade have few cultural connotations. Guo Shaoyong believes that the promotion of jade culture is not to promote the wearing of jade, and Hetian jade's status in the Guangdong collection is an underestimated stage, but he also said that Guangdong is the virgin land of Hetian jade collection, the market is large and worthy of development.

Local visits this year, raw material increase rate doubled year-on-year, and Hetian seed materials are more difficult to find

On the first floor of the Guangzhou Hualin International C Building, there are about 100 stalls specializing in Hetian jade. When the reporter visited these stalls, he found that compared with the operation of the jade franchise stalls near the first floor, Hetian jade's business seemed to be somewhat deserted. Although there are merchants recruiting customers from time to time, few customers are interested in stopping to watch the various Hetian jade works in the eye cabinets. In the corner, the reporter chats with Mr. Chen, the boss who has been in business for more than a decade. He told reporters that the market is also somewhat special this year. Although the price of Hetian jade continues to go up, there are fewer and fewer rough stones that can be seen. According to reports, the increase in raw materials has doubled year-on-year. However, Mr. Li, who has been engaged in the sales of Hetian jade for many years in Pingzhou Jade City, said that the good Hetian seed material is more difficult to find, including the original stone, the increase rate is at least 25%, except for the price increase, basically there is no The state of the goods, let alone talk to the jade carving master Yu Yu. Therefore, Mr. Li has not entered a new work in the past two months. "Don't dare to start, or wait and see for a while."

Mr. Chen also revealed to reporters that the players and collectors who came to Hualin International to buy goods were mostly from other provinces, while the customers from Guangdong were relatively few. He said that in Guangdong, everyone's recognition and acceptance of jade is much higher than that of Hetian jade. In recent years, it has only changed in succession. This year is still better than in previous years. But what worries him is that the price of raw stone is very high recently, and the amount is very small. The impact of counterfeit products on the market is also there. "Because the customers who come to buy Hetian jade, many of them are still unclear and true, resulting in real goods. It’s very difficult to get a shot.” ​​He took out a good black-skinned seed material and told reporters that the price of fake black leather on the market is only tens of thousands of yuan, while the market price of real black leather is hundreds of thousands. The gap of three or four hundred thousand yuan, customers who can not distinguish between true and false, often choose cheap fakes, more and more of the backlog of Hetian jade goods on the hands of regular merchants. In particular, there are cases in which Russian white jade is used as Hetian Baiyu, but those who are new to the beginning of the game or who are playing for jade soon have no way to identify these three materials. Therefore, Mr. Chen suggested that the players who started Hetian jade should be cautious. Buy, a good seed material has to be 10,000 yuan, so a large piece is only a few thousand or tens of thousands. Consumers still have to have a few hearts. Don’t buy fake ones. Those who are knowledgeable will not regret it. .

First in the world of nephrite

Hetian jade is known as the world's first nephrite. It currently has two famous sources of jade: one is from Yutian County to the south, into the Kunlun Mountains, where there is a famous Alamas mining area, and now the most famous Hetian Baiyu Mountain material is produced here. The other is from the south of Hotan City, along the Baiyu River, which is the source of a long history of seed jade, mountain water.

In the "Thousand Characters", there are records of "Jinsheng Lishui, Yusheng Kunlun". It can be seen that Hetian jade of the Kunlun Mountains has been famous since ancient times. There are two rivers flowing through Hetian in Xinjiang: one is the Yulong Kashi River and the other is the Karakash River. After hundreds of millions of years ago, after the flood, many precious jade will be washed down from the Kunlun Mountains. Therefore, the ancients have called the Baiyu River (Jade Dragon Kash River), and the river that can be picked to the Moyu Tsai is called the Moyu River (Karakash River). The Baiyu River has a total length of more than 250 kilometers, and the river water is full of snow melting from the mountains. The output of Hetian jade seed material is mainly concentrated in the Kumat area in the middle and lower reaches of the Kunlun Mountains in the Baiyu River Basin. Most of the jade is buried in the gravel layer below 3-10 meters deep.

Classification of Hetian jade

According to the different places of production, Hetian jade is divided into three categories: mountain material, mountain water and seed material. Mountain material, also known as mountain jade, also known as Gaibao jade, refers to the original ore produced in the mountains, mainly through the jade mining jade, usually wrapped in marble, need to be stripped to get jade. Its production area is mainly in the Kunlun Mountains. The mountain water is named after the jade man and the jade artist. It is characterized by the proximity of the original ore, the block is large, the edges are slightly rounded, the surface is smooth, the age is a little longer, the seed material is younger, and the price is higher than the seed material. Low, but higher than the mountain. Seed material, also known as sheep fat jade, its most precious white jade is sheep fat jade, condensation like white fat. Nowadays, the sheep fat jade is actually mostly high-white mountain material or seed material, and not skinned jade jade, most of which are high-white mountain materials. From the market price, sheep fat jade is the highest, seed material is second, mountain water is second, and mountain material is second.
