Hetian jade is a relatively large category of knowledge. There are many kinds of knowledge about it that we need to master. And among these knowledge, there are many that we can't give precise answers. In this article, we will talk about the three unsolved mysteries of Hetian jade.
The three unsolved mysteries of Hetian jade!
Unsolved mystery 1: Hetian has no jade mountain material
Many people buy Jasper and like to ask if it is Hetian. But in fact, this problem often seems redundant. Because most of the jasper in the market is Russian, namely Russian jasper.
And what we call Hetian Biyu refers to Hetian Biyu seed material.
At present, there is no discovery of Biyu Mountain in the Hetian jade area. This is a very interesting question.
High-quality jasper is also produced on the Gobi Beach between the Klong River and the Cele River and Luopu County, but it is all seed or Gobi, and its original mineral has not yet been found. In other words, jasper we can find jasper seed in Hotan, you can also find Gobi jasper, but you can't see the existence of Hetian Biyu Mountain.
From the origin of Jasper, its origin is very extensive. For example, Qinghai has the output of Jasper Mountain. In addition, Russia, Canada, New Zealand, the United States and many other places have the output of Jasper Mountain, and the mineral resources are not small. But why is there no jade mine in the Hetian area where we can find the jasper seed material?
It is said that a few kilometers above the head of the canal, the veins of Jasper were discovered. Montenegro also discovered the veins of Jasper, but it is only a legend until now, and no physical objects have been seen so far.
Most of the Xinjiang jasper we heard was Manas Jasper, which has nothing to do with Hetian Biyu.
Is there no Biyu mountain material in the Hetian area, or is its primary deposit temporarily isolated? We have not found the Biyushan material jade mine? Or is Hetian Biyushan material not appearing on the market? This issue is waiting for us to explore more.
Unsolved mystery 2: Is there any ruby ​​or topaz?
About the original ruby ​​seed and topaz seed, it has been a controversial topic in the industry. Is there any Hetian Hongyu seed and topaz seed?
Let us first look for answers from ancient sayings:
Wang Yi of the Eastern Han Dynasty holds the color of jade in "Jade Theory": "Red as a cockscomb, yellow as steamed chestnuts, white as a cut-off fat, ink as pure paint, and a jade symbol. And sapphire has nothing to say. Yes, there are black, and yellow and red are absolutely nothing.†This means that jade has white, blue, black, red, and yellow colors, and cyan, white, yellow, and red are common.
The study of Song Yingxing, a scientist of the Ming Dynasty, believed that jade is only white and green. He said in "Heavenly Creations": "Where the jade is white and green. The green Chinese famous dish jade, its red jade, topaz said, all are strange stones, scorpions and the like, the price is no less than jade, but not Jade also means that the red jade and topaz are mostly strange stones, not jade.
Song Yingxing’s “green jade†here should refer to sapphire. He disagreed with "Red Jade" and "Topaz" as true jade. It is a warning to future generations that scholars should study the meaning of "Red Jade" and "Topaz" in Chinese history and culture.
However, in the Qing Dynasty, Fu Heng and other 纂 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 西 阗 阗Said: The jade produced by Yarkant is different in color, white, yellow, red, black and blue.
With regard to ruby ​​and topaz, we mostly come from ancient sayings. However, from the ancient description, whether the red jade or topaz refers to the original color remains to be studied, and the description of the jade color by the ancients is likely to be a description of the skin color.
So, from now on, have we found ruby ​​and topaz?
First of all, we must understand that the red jade and topaz that we traditionally say are all primary colors, not secondary colors. That is, ruby ​​and topaz do not mean ochre and skin color.
First of all, red jade, ruby ​​has always been a legendary existence, that is, in the description of the ancients. In the market, we have seen that many people say that the red jade is actually red sap seed, red skin seed, or some dyeing fraud.
Many people say that they have ruby ​​in their hands, but the jadeite seeds that are actually recognized in the industry are not.
For Topaz, we can see some works called Topaz during the Qianlong period. Because the national standard defines the red jade and topaz as only one color, some auction companies now say that Huangkou (mountain material) or some yellow sorghum seed material is topaz. But it is not the topaz in the traditional sense.
Therefore, the "topaz" that we usually find is mostly yellow scorpion, there are some yellow mouth materials, and some water stones. The topaz seeds that are truly recognized by players in the industry are also extremely rare, and can even be said to be no.
We can understand that the ruby ​​and topaz seeds of the original mine are just a legend, and we have not really seen it. The jadeite and topaz of many players are often unable to withstand scrutiny, and they are mainly based on secondary colors.
And this legend does not exist in the end, it is worthy of our study.
Unsolved mystery three: How does the seed material come from?
The last question, how is the seed material formed?
The general answer to this question is that the seed material is from the mountain. The raw material of the primary mine rolls down into the river to form a seed.
But this argument actually faces many of these problems. For example, as we said above, why are there jade seed materials and no jade mountain materials? This problem will become unexplained.
Regarding the source of the seed material, there are sayings that the mountain material is falling, and there are also volcanic eruptions. For example, from the shape of the seed material, from the distribution of the seed material, etc., the volcanic eruption is easier to explain.
The arguments are different, but there are some controversies. The specific statement that everyone is very convinced is not yet available. So how about the seed material comes from, it is still a puzzle in the hearts of many players.
