"In that case, we don't have any tricks. Anyway, we don't have much to do now. Let's talk about our experience. I don't think the younger brother knows anything about Hetian Yu since he is in the field of antiques. Come on, let's sit down and talk slowly. Don't think my place is small and messy. I can only sit down by myself."
As the boss said, his shop is really crowded. Many places are full of all kinds of jade materials. The place where he can stay is just the size of a palm, not to mention sitting down. Fortunately, he prepared in advance, took out two folding stools from the corner, handed them to Lin Xi, and then took the lead to sit down.
Seeing that the boss is so cool, Lin Xi naturally won't make friends with him any more. He also opens the folding stool with the boss and sits down. Then he says with a smile, "it's a little understanding, but it's all dead things in writing, which can't compare with the boss's valuable experience. But boss, you've said that, so I'll throw a brick to attract a jade, and teach a lesson in front of you. What's wrong If you want, please give me some advice. "
The boss took out a cigarette and gave it to Lin Xi, but Lin Xi politely refused. He refused that he could not smoke, and the boss didn't have Qing Qiu. However, he lit one for himself and continued to smoke: "little brother, just say it, I'll listen."
After organizing the language for a while, Lin Xi began to say slowly: "as far as I know, Hetian jade is one of the four Ming jades in China. It is also known as Lantian jade in Shaanxi, Xiuyu in Liaoning and Dushan jade in Henan. It is well-known for Hetian's" seed material "and widely refers to nephrite (real jade) produced by Hetian, and it has a long history of inheritance, as early as..." At this time, the boss suddenly interrupted Lin Xi and pointed out with a smile: "little brother, don't rush to pass on history. Although what you just said is right, there are still some newcomers."
Lin Xi doubts a way: "go in and out? What's wrong with that? I also ask the boss to correct me. "
Without the slightest politeness and style, the boss said leisurely: "it's right that Hotan jade refers to nephrite produced in Hotan area, but it's just Hotan jade in a narrow sense. Just as you said, Hotan jade is indeed named for Hotan, but it's not a regional concept."
"Hetian jade in a broad sense does not refer to nephrite produced in Hetian area, but is a general term of the same kind. Take China's current standards for example, as long as the tremolite composition accounts for more than 98% of the stones, they can be called Hetian jade. So, little brother, you should not be confused. Since you want to understand the real Hetian jade, you can't just know a little, or you will be understanding people In front of the leak, but will make people laugh big teeth
Lin Xi said thank you to his boss, but he also kept his words in mind. Then he continued: "apart from a long history, Hetian jade also has a strong historical and cultural color. As early as when Qin Shihuang unified China in the Qin Dynasty, Hetian jade was called" jade of Kunshan mountain "because it was born in Kunlun Mountain, and later it was named" jade of Kunshan mountain " Its origin is in the territory of "Khotan state" of 36 countries in the western regions, so it is also known as "Khotan jade". It was not until 1883, when the Qing court established Hetian Zhili Prefecture, that it was officially named "Hetian jade."
"Since the Qin Dynasty, Hetian jade has left many famous products because of its good name. The most famous one is the empress's seal, which is now collected in the Shaanxi History Museum and regarded as a national treasure of the Western Han Dynasty. It is also the only empress's seal of the Han Dynasty so far."
As a top student in the history department, Lin Xi's historical background is needless to say. Even his boss praised and sighed: "I can't find fault with my little brother's skill. I've worked hard before. As one of the best jade groups in our country, Hotan jade is indeed the richest and has a long life. For example, Kungang jade, which is called" Jinsheng Lishui, Yuchu Kungang "in thousand character essay, has a long life, In fact, it means Hetian Yu. "
At this point, the boss suddenly changed the conversation and continued: "in fact, the jade materials from the early Shang Dynasty to the early Han Dynasty did not come from Hotan, but from Qilian Mountain, which was called" Kunlun Mountain "in ancient times. In other words, Kunlun Mountain and ancient Kunlun Mountain are not the same place. Ancient people took Qilian Mountain as Kunlun mountain. ”
"therefore, the exact time when Hetian jade in Xinjiang entered the Central Plains should be after the middle of the Western Han Dynasty. Even the discoverer of Hetian jade seed material was Zhang Qian, who was sent to the western regions during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The development of Hetian jade seed material was even later, and it didn't start until the Ming Dynasty."
Lin Xi nodded deeply. Although the knowledge he saw in the book is true, the boss's idea of inheriting history is more reliable. After all, for a long time before emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, the Central Plains did not know that there was the western regions, let alone Hetian jade. According to the ancient people's worship of Kunlun Mountain, the jade materials at that time were produced in Qi The possibility of Lianshan is really great.
But at this point, Lin Xi had a new doubt in his heart: "boss, you have been talking about seed material and mountain material. Is there any difference between the two?"
The boss said with a smile: "little brother, you are really a layman. You don't even know the seed material and mountain material, so I'll tell you the difference. Let's start with mountain material. The so-called mountain material refers to the raw jade which is not covered by the weathering surface or has a very thin weathering layer. It is basically the primary ore mined from the mine outcrop or working face, It is also called "Mountain Jade", "ballast jade" and "Baogai jade" in ancient times. It specifically refers to the primary jade ore at the top of Kunlun snow mountain, mainly producing blue jade and white jade"As for the seed material, also known as Ziyu or Puyu, it is a kind of egg shaped secondary Hetian jade seed material, which is formed from the weathering and exfoliation of the primary ore in Kunlun Mountain and eroded by the ice and snow mountain torrents for hundreds of millions of years. There is a layer of seed coat on the outside, and the most famous seed material is" guangbaisi ". Because of the long-time drifting in the river, its texture has become delicate, crystal clear and congealed Fat is the best of the best. "
After a pause, the boss continued: "in fact, the meaning of the word" Zi "is very broad and comprehensive. It has the meanings of" Zi "," children "," young "and so on, but it doesn't mean that there is no physical property. Therefore, using" Zi "to represent Hotan jade's pebbles can not only reflect the shape characteristics of pebbles, but also reflect the causal relationship between them Material "is a jade that is strives by the mother. It inherits the texture characteristics of the mountain material, and then combines with the factors such as river transportation and long-term erosion to become the essence of Hetian jade."
