The history of jade, understand the origin and mining of jade
Jade culture has a history of more than 7,000 years in China, beginning in the Neolithic Age. Its history is earlier than the oriental cultural forms of ceramics, writing, painting, sculpture, architecture, silk, etc., and there has been almost no separation in the past seven thousand years. Looking at the world, there are still a few places, like New Zealand, South America, and there have been jade cultures in history, but the prosperity has ended, except China. It can be said that jade culture is one of the oldest cultures with the longest history and the most representative of oriental civilization. China's jade culture has rich connotations. In the face of the dazzling jade jewelry, if we can understand its historical source and mining situation, then we can feel the charm of jade more deeply. The following China Jewelry Merchants Network takes you into the jade The history of the jade is about the origin and mining process.
The introduction and history of jade
The time when Jade was introduced to China was controversial. Some experts believe that in the second century BC, the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was introduced to China, and in the "Xi Xi Fu" of Han Ban Gu, there was "Jade Cui Qi, He Yao Liu Jin" and Zhang Heng's "Xijing Fu" In the book, there are also words such as "Jadeite is decorated with beautiful jade" as evidence. Some experts believe that the time when jade is introduced into China will not be earlier than that of Ming and Qing Dynasties. The basis is that it has not been in archaeological excavations and courts of the past. The treasures of the emeralds before the early Qing Dynasty were found in the collection. According to archaeological and cultural relics, British historian Joseph Joseph believed that the 18th century jadeite was introduced from Myanmar to Yunnan, China. It is generally believed that the real emergence of Burmese jade in China is something after the Ming Dynasty. The latter is based on archaeological science. It can be seen that in some TV dramas, there are often some emperors who live in the Tang and Song dynasties and the literati’s hats. Green high-quality jade, this kind of props clothing that violates historical facts can only be regarded as a kind of virtual "playing" technique.
In the Qing Dynasty, due to the love of the palace aristocrats, Jade was multiplied and became the king of jade. The Empress Dowager Cixi called the treasures of the jadeite "Royal Jade". She was particularly insulted during her lifetime. After her death, she also used watermelons, peaches, lotus leaves, cabbages and other treasures made of high-quality jade, and 27 emerald Buddha statues also stayed in the ground.
Jade origin and mining
The world famous high quality jade jade is produced in Myanmar. Its deposit is located in the tributary of the Chin Dun River in the Wulong River in northern Myanmar. The main producing areas are the volcanic, Burma, Pan and Nan Nai, which are close to the Yunnan border. Tengchong and Dali in Yunnan were once the jade and jade distribution center and have been replaced by Ruili. Ruili's jade market is the most prosperous and representative market in China's jade trading market. There are all kinds of high, medium and low-end goods. It also contains some B and C goods, which is necessary to test the eye of the buyer.
More than 90% of the world's jadeite is produced in Myanmar. In addition, the former Soviet Union, the United States, Japan, New Zealand, Guatemala and other countries also produce jade, but the jade produced in these countries are not worth much because they do not reach the gem level. The finest jadeite is only produced in the area of ​​tens of square kilometers in the Myitkyina area of ​​northern Myanmar. In terms of business, Myanmar is the only jadeite mine, and the stock of jade is far less than diamonds and other jewelry.
The uniqueness of high-quality jade production, the complexity of mineralization, and the uncertainty of production have made jade more rare and more collectible than diamonds. As the saying goes: "Gold is easy to get, and jade is hard to find."
The main producing area of ​​jade is the mountainous area in northern Myanmar. It is 24°-28° north latitude and 96° east longitude. It is peaceful in the east, redwood forest in the west, Laban in the north and Wenduo in the south. The Wulong River traverses the entire jade field, so there is a jade origin in Wulongjiang. It is located between the Gaoligong Mountain and the Bajiai Mountain. It is about 240 kilometers long from north to south and 170 kilometers wide from east to west. Most of it is hilly land and alluvial flat. The climate is hot and the annual rainfall is over 3,000 mm. Most of the local people are ethnic minorities such as Qin, Yi, and Yi. From October to April of the next year, there are hundreds of thousands of jade people.
The site is the specific location where the jade is mined. The field area, that is, the area formed by several fields due to the mining age and similar performance. The jade of different fields has commonalities and special features. In particular, some famous venues have very distinctive characteristics, and some characteristics belong to only one field. This is why the jade stone merchant always sees a stone before it determines its field. Only by determining which field it belongs to, can the gambling of this stone be observed and judged according to the particularity of the stone in this field.
The discovery of jade has been around for hundreds of years, so the field of the Myanmar mine site is like a spark, and it has grown to today's famous surnames of nearly one hundred, and the stars are gathering, fighting for beauty, as for the small and difficult name. More is dotted. According to the type of stone and the order of mining time, the entire field is usually divided into six major areas: the old field area, the Da Makan area, the small field area, the Houjiang area, the thunder area and the new area.
In the Qing Dynasty, the collection was mainly the jade stone at the bottom of the "Wulong River", now also known as water stone. In order to get the stone, people tied the rope on the waist and tied it to the boat. They jumped into the river and touched the stone. When they touched it, they hugged it. One day, no stone can be collected. This kind of work is very dangerous, and people are often killed in the water. All of these stones have a layer of jade, which is what the experts call "leather", and it is impossible to tell what is happening inside the stone. Those who buy stone materials can only pay the price at will, and transport it to Yunnan to cut the stone. If there are green and purple stones in the stone, the seeds are good and can be processed and produced. The old expert is also called "Jade in the stone", and it is rich overnight. If there is no jade in the stone, it will often lose money. This is called: gambling stone. With the increasingly prosperous modern science and technology, people's crazy pursuit of material interests, regardless of the ecological destructive mining is very serious, in the jade mining area, the river has been drained, the use of large-scale mechanical mining on the riverbed, artificially millennial mining The finished stone can be harvested in decades. In addition, large-scale mining has begun in the mountains around the Wulong River. Many of these materials have no “skinsâ€, large mineral particles, insufficient water heads, and poor seed content. This kind of stone is called mountain material, and the experts also call it "new pit species."
