When was the emerald introduced to China?

In the book "Shiya" written by Zhang Hongjun, there is a jade ware of the Zhou Dynasty, and the jade knives of Mr. Luo Zhenyu's family are unearthed in Luoyang. The text is decorated with glutinous rice, which is the utensil of the Zhou Dynasty. There are also jade products in the unearthed relics of the imperial tombs of the Han Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu once recorded that his family had a beautiful and simple green jade (small mouth bottle). Most people thought it was jasper. Only one old minister of the ancestral dynasty knew, "This is a treasure, my holy in the palace." I have seen a jade cup in the library, so I know this is jade." Ouyang Xiu accidentally grinded the golden ring on the poppy belly. I didn't expect the gold chips to fall. If the ink was rubbed in the sputum, I knew that the jade was a treasure of the gold.

When was the emerald introduced to China? One said that it was introduced to China in the Han Dynasty. According to historical records, in the 9th year of the Eastern Han Dynasty (97 AD), Yunnan Yongchang (now Baoshan) 徼 徼 掸 掸 掸 掸 掸 掸 掸 掸 掸 掸 掸 掸 调 调 调 调 调 调 调 调 调 调It is the first time that Myanmar jade has entered China. Another said that the emperor's funerary objects were not found in the tombs before the Yuan Dynasty. According to archaeological findings and documentary records, jadeite was introduced to China after the Ming Dynasty.

According to the "Yunnan 冀 察 察 记载 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 》 Although the jadeite along the Wulu River in Myanmar began to be mined during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there were no Han people who were involved in the jade production area until the beginning of the 20th century, looking for mines in the jade production area. The business Han people are more than the local Burmese. The Han people joined the mining and trade of Myanmar jade, which enabled a large number of jadeite to be continuously imported into the Chinese mainland.

Xu Xiake, a great geographer and explorer in China, stayed for 40 days during the 11th to 12th year of Chongzhen (1683~1639) in the late Ming Dynasty. He witnessed the jade industry in Tengchong and experienced a series of jade-related experiences. People and things, and have two pieces of jade, and recorded in their text, called Cuishengyu. The "Xu Xiake's Travels" also includes the earliest, most specific and vivid precious records of jade. This is the first time that Jade has officially appeared in ancient Chinese literature. Although there were some references to the word "Jade" before Xu Xiake, most of them refer to the jade bird, and a few of them refer to jade, but there is no mention of Tengchong, Myanmar. And other concepts related to the concept, it can be said that Xu Xiake is the first person to record the jade and jade culture and hand it down.

During the Ming Dynasty, the exchange of jade culture between China and Myanmar began to increase gradually. At this time, Jadeite was dedicated as a tribute to the Central Court at that time. In the Qing Dynasty, China's jade culture entered a heyday, and jade products began to spread widely in the court and the folk. At the same time, the commercial scale of Jadeite has been continuously expanding. According to the records of Qing Tancui's "Zhuhai Yihengzhi": "Jade is from the South Jinsha River, more than two thousand miles away from the state, and more than one jade. Heap. The coarse ore outside protection, the size is cobblestone-like, I do not know whether there is the beauty of the jade or not, the arbitrarily bought it, transported to Dali and Khan province, back to make a jade square. The corner sees the jade, the flat bottom is rich. "This paragraph describes the production status of jadeite, the quality of jade, and sales. The Qing Dynasty was an era of a large number of interactive use of jade resources in Chinese history. People had established "Jade Square" to process and sell the original jade stone, which earned a large amount of economic income. At that time, Tengchong and Dali in Yunnan were more jade. Distribution center. The widespread spread of jade has been attributed to the hobby of the royal aristocracy of the Qing Dynasty to the emerald.

Since the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Jade has reached an unprecedented era of prosperity in the emperor. The Empress Dowager Cixi is very fond of the use of jade, and the jade is used for enamel or inlaid with various jewellery. , the art of display, the pilgrimage to the bead, the "Jade Ruyi" to play. Therefore, in the Qing Dynasty, Jadeite also had the reputation of "Royal Jade" and "Emperor Jade".

During the Republic of China, many of the ruined aristocrats sold their home ancestral jade. At that time, there were many jewels in the front door of Langfang, Beijing. After collecting the old jade, some were sold directly to the rich customers, and some were processed and sold. Go abroad. The jadeite "hat" on the hat was changed to the emerald ring. The jadeite flats used by the court women to match the head of the flag were cut into many small pieces. After being exported to Japan, they were processed on the belt of the kimono. Many jewellery banks have made a fortune and invested a lot of money in mining and purchasing raw materials in Myanmar.

After 1949, the jewelry consumption market gradually disappeared. In 1956, public and private joint ventures, a large number of workshops and jewelry stores merged, and many masters returned to their hometowns. The jade market in mainland China is basically reduced to zero, but the love of jade is still continuing in Southeast Asia. Many Southeast Asian, Hong Kong, and Taiwanese people go to the cultural relics stores and friendship stores to buy some jadeites. These markets are not open to domestic people, even if they have money and have not bought them.

Many old experts talked about the Wangfujing Bafang trough in the 1960s and 1970s. They are still fresh in memory. It is a jade purchase point of Beijing Jewelry Import and Export Corporation. Every morning, when the day is not bright, many people come from outside, pick up the burden, carry the baggage, and wait for the sales department to open the door. After opening the door, just like an expert consultation, some of the jade evaluations and acquisitions sent by experts. After selling the jadeite, these sellers are very happy. They get a few dollars, dozens of dollars, and hundreds of thousands of dollars. You know that a house at that time was less than a few hundred yuan, and the emerald passed down by the ancestors. It is often able to solve the urgent needs of the generations.

After these jadeites are sorted out, the boxes are boxed. During the Canton Fair, a large number of Hong Kong jewelers will visit and buy, saying that they are buying and selling. In the morning, the Canton Fair has not opened yet, and the jewelers are at the door. Just waiting for the door to open, they will rush to run inside and run ahead. They will have the opportunity to sit down and look at the goods first, and then they will have to wait. After sitting down, the whole box of goods is brought up, you have to buy a full box to buy, you said that I pick a few favorite to buy, I am sorry, but I can't buy it later. At that time, many Hong Kong jewelers made a lot of money by buying the jadeite of Beijing Jewelry Company.

So many good jade boxes of the whole box of exports, on the one hand, did indeed exchange a large amount of foreign exchange for the country, which promoted the country's construction at that time, but on the other hand, so many treasures of jade outflow, it is really a pity to think of it. Moreover, this collection of jadeite is somewhat special. It is not like antique calligraphy and painting. When it comes to good times, it can appear two or three times in the market in a few years. Once the jadeite is collected, it is difficult to see it in the market. Now, there is no chance to receive a few good jadeites when receiving goods everywhere. So many good things, it may be difficult to have a goodbye.
