In order to develop the Manas jasper industry, in addition to opening the door, he also spent half his expenses on his own and sent 7 people to Nanyang, Henan to learn carving techniques. At the same time, he also invited his 16 brothers in his hometown to guide Manas County. Today, Manas County has more than 100 shops engaged in the processing and sales of jasper, more than 1,000 practitioners, and more than 4,000 jasper stone collectors; the output value has also increased from 106 million yuan in 2008 to 224 million yuan last year, making Jasper Processing and sales have become a new emerging pillar industry in the region.
