Men, women and children rush to "crazy stone"

On the road leading to the serpentine mountain in Shanxi, reporters occasionally encountered motorized tricycles moving in and out of the valley. Some vehicles were filled with green blue and white stones, and some were covered with cloth or plastic sheets. In the narrow mountain road near the quarry site, there are dozens of motorized tricycles parked.

At the gathering place where the villagers quarried, the reporter saw that tens of meters deep in the valley were crowded with people and they were battling the rocks. All men, women, children and young people are rushing to transport stones, and on some days they can grab four or five cars. On a steep slope leading to the valley, some villagers took stones and walked upwards, while others used a wheelbarrow to push rocks to the outside. “We came here only this morning.” A villager surnamed Sun told reporters.

The reporter learned from the interview that Serpentine Mountain is located at the junction of Tai'an City and Jinan City. The quarrying site is located in Jinan. The quarrying villagers are from Xiaoxinzhuang, Shila Village and Xiaojiezhuang Village, Changde District, Taichung City, and Jieshou Town, Changde District.

Can not attend to eat one day pull four or five cars

According to reports, on the evening of the 15th, the people who originally contracted and were responsible for taking care of the mountain evacuated the quarry area. The villagers heard the news and took the tools to dig the mountain to take the stone.

The villagers quarried tens of meters away from the top of the valley. There is also a large piece of ice on the hillside. From time to time, the soil blocks slide down to the bottom of the valley. A villager surnamed Li told reporters that the villagers had already divided the area during the quarrying process and dug their own grounds. "We are all united together and we can pull four or five cars a day." Mr. Li said that many people do not go home to eat, and at night some people have searchlights to dig stones.

When the reporter left, there were still villagers driving to the site where jade was digged. In the afternoon, the reporter contacted the Bureau of Land and Resources of Jinan City. Staff said that they will investigate the matter as soon as possible.

Indiscriminate mining may destroy jade resources

“You look at the camera above the valley. There is the border area of ​​Tai’an, and it specifically monitors the mining of Taishan jade, but this place is not.” said the villagers who are digging jade. The reporter learned that since Taishan jade was discovered on a large scale, the Tai’an Ministry of Land and Resources has intensified its protection of the Taishan jade mining area, hired security personnel, set up guard posts, and was on duty 24 hours a day.

At present, the villagers have been digging Taishan jade sites in Jinan. After the contractors left, there were no special personnel to care for them.

Taishan scholar Li Jisheng said that the quality of Taishan jade is good and it belongs to high quality jade. “In the 1980s, only a small amount of Taishan jade was discovered. Since the 1990s, with the excavation of Taishan jade in the Changqing area in Jinan, Taishan jade was gradually introduced into the market.”

Li Jisheng said that Hetian jade was because of huge economic incentives. As a result, many people went for mining and led to exhaustion of resources.

The development of Taishan jade needs to draw lessons from Hetian jade, increase protection, and carry out comprehensive environmental improvement in the jade mining area and its surrounding areas, and completely bans illegal illegal mining, mining, and indiscriminate mining of jade resources.
