Hetian Yu, "The hero Mo asked the source"

Is it jade or jade? Is it geographical or jade?

After thousands of years of Hetian jade, the starting point of people's love of jade is completely different from that of ancient people. Modern people's eyes are concentrated on the economic value and aesthetic value of jade, while the ancients pay more attention to the cultural connotation of jade. What is jade? The beauty of stone is: In Shi Jie Jie Zi, Xu Shen summarizes the five virtues in the “Explanation of the Character”: moisturizes with warmth, and benevolence also works; from the outside, you can know the right and the righteousness also; , specializes in far smelling, wisdom is also the side; inflexible and folded, the courage of the party also; sharp but not sturdy, clean side also. In other words, the ancients smoked the jade and smoked the “Shoude and then the symbol”, taking Yude as the first, “the gentleman does not leave the jade without reason,” and jade is the incarnation of Chinese spirit and virtue. Skin, who cares.

From a broader perspective, China’s jade culture has condensed its unique spiritual attributes for thousands of years. Tian Ronglun believes that the Hetian jade carrier highly summarizes and aggregates prehistoric history, culture, writing, art, aesthetics, and economy. Technology, science and technology, productivity, theology, totem, vision, humanities, national harmony, nature, resources, weather, hydrology, geography, species, and more. Therefore, each piece of jade is not simply an ore resource. It far exceeds its own material properties. Hetian jade seed is the best quality tremolite mineral in China and even in the world. For Chinese and Chinese people, Hetian jade seed is a national treasure, and it is a spiritual symbol that has condensed the Chinese people's culture and tradition for thousands of years. For the jade carving industry, the seed material is also one of the best sculptural materials. It has a structure such as a cream, impenetrable toughness, beautiful skin color, and strange shapes that cannot be surpassed or replaced by other materials. Compared with Hetian jade seed material, Hetian Yushan material, jade material produced in Russia, Qinghai material seems to have become "after the mother's support." The previously described market speculation was also caused by the lack of a correct understanding of the relationship between the Hetian jade seed material and the mountain material.

The author believes that from the point of view of the value and material specifications, Hetian jade seed material can not shake. However, from the perspective of jade carving, both Russian and Qinghai materials, whether white or other colors of tremolite, have the value and significance of carving. As long as it is delicate in structure and pure in jade, the jade can be excavated to create the most beautiful side. For example, Hemuyu, produced in Liaoning in the past two years, has been accepted by some jade carving studios and endowed with high artistic value and market value; some utensils carved from Qinghai sapphire have also been highly praised by the industry and the market; The selection of medals is also pure Qinghai jade. This shows that the selection of materials and the value of jade carving art are not refuting.

The hero Mo asked the source. This is constant truth. However, it may be that we in the history of our country are accustomed to using "door-to-door" vision to look at the problem. Therefore, it is estimated that the chaotic image of Hetian jade seeds will remain for a long time.
