Hetian Meiyu is produced in the Kunlun Mountains, which is known as the "ancestor of Wanshan". Historians have verified that Hetian jade exported to the Central Plains for about 3,000 years. Hetian jade (mainly Ziyu) is mainly produced in the Yulong Kashi River and the Karakash River in Hetian, Xinjiang. The two rivers are called Baiyu River and Moyu River. The Uighur villagers living in Hotan have a tradition of living in the mountains and collecting jade from the ancient times.
Hetian jade can be divided into white jade, jasper, sapphire, ink jade, topaz, blue and white, and red jade. The most precious white jade is sheep fat jade, which is like white fat. At present, the value of one kilogram of sheep fat jade can reach more than 100,000 yuan. If the white jade is mixed with amber spots, the value is higher.
Meiyu drives the strange stone
Hetian is famous for its beauty. Under the traction of jade culture, the collection of strange stones has quietly risen. In recent years, a large number of strange stone collectors have appeared in Hotan. From the ordinary Kistler to the Hetian jade stone, each collector has some beautifully patterned stones on hand.
Going to the beach to hunt has become a hobby of some people in Hotan City. On weekends, Kistler fans have dispatched them to roll up the trousers along the river meteorites. They use the brush to wash the sand on the surface of the stone, and the texture is clear and the pattern is strange. The stone, moved to the home, crowned the elegant name, repeated appreciation, and enjoyed it.
A piece of "Little Bird Mingchun" jade stone collected by Mr. Zheng of Hotan, there is a white jade line on the stone, and a yellow-white bird stands on it, which is just right with the surrounding black, and it has a charm.
On the jade Bazaar, Hetian Qishi also occupies half of the river and mountains, and the strange stone style on the stall is very different, or if the clouds flow, and like flowers and birds, the fine taste is endless. The cultural atmosphere radiated by the stone can really make people feel the charm of Hetian being called the “Jade Capitalâ€.
Every autumn and winter season, strange stone lovers often go to places where Uighur farmers dig jade, pick their favorite stones from the excavated stones, and some people look for purchases in the Uighur farmers' houses on both sides of the river. The strange stone collectors in the field also come to the jade collectors. Hetian acquired Kistler. However, it is not easy to get a high-quality Hetian jade stone.
In ancient times, the jade of the jade was called "ç’ž", and the outer skin of the jade jade can be divided into color skin, sugar skin, stone skin and so on. The most precious thing in the current Hetian Kistler is this category.
Digging jade people on the Baiyu River
"Kunshan Meiyu" has been famous since ancient times. It lives in the Hetian people of the Kunlun Mountains and the Baiyu River. It has the habit of "going up the mountains and collecting jade and laying down the river". Nowadays, Hetian fellows have created a new method of picking jade – digging jade. Out of the city of Hotan, into the territory of Luopu County, from the bridge, the river beach is scattered near the figure of the jade, repeating the scene of the millennium and Tian Caiyu.
The traditional jade method of ancient Hetian people was jade jade and jade jade. The jade fragments of the original jade mine on the Kunlun Mountains in summer were weathered and eroded by the flood, and the flow rate dropped sharply in the low mountains and the piedmont. Jade is piled up in river beaches and riverbeds. The temperature in autumn is falling, and the river is gradually exposed to jade, so autumn is the best season for people to jade and jade.
It is strictly forbidden to dig jade on the riverbed, and the jade is dug on the old river beach. Because of the migration of the river, the layer of the Millennium Riverbed is like an annual ring, and the jade is like archaeology. Fu Chao, director of the Propaganda Department of the Hetian District Committee, said that it is difficult to find jade in the river. The jade picker turned his attention to the jade deposited under the ancient river bed.
In order to standardize the mining market of Hetian jade, the local government contracted the old river beach that produced jade. The contractor first used a large bulldozer and excavator to strip the sandstone layer about 5 meters on the ancient river beach, and then hired local villagers to dig jade in the mineral deposit. It is also a rare spectacle in history to spend so much effort in collecting jade.
A 40-year-old Uyghur contractor told reporters that the lower reaches of the Baiyu River is the best place to produce sheep fat jade. The white jade ore on the Kunlun Mountain slowly moves downstream after being washed by the river. In the impact of thousands of years of torrents, all the impurities in the jade are removed and crystal clear, so Hetian Yangzhi jade becomes a jade treasure.
Digging jade people generally don't tell you how many jade can be dug in a day. They vaguely say that they can run for hundreds of thousands, millions and tens of millions. On the Hetian River, there are a lot of jade and wealth, and there are bankrupts.
