The ancestors of the Chinese nation, in the work of the Stone Age, screened out the beauty of the stone as a jade to make jade. The earliest jade pieces were unearthed from the Paleolithic Site of Xianren Cave in Haicheng, Liaoning Province. About 12,000 years ago, the jade articles unearthed from the two sites of Inner Mongolia Xinglongtun Culture and Liaoning Chahai Culture have a history of about 8,000 years. About 7000 years 3 About 5,000 years ago, the northern Hongshan culture and the southern Liangzhu culture, the number of jade artifacts unearthed, is unprecedented, and is the first jade peak era in China. The jade materials unearthed from these sites are widely used. The jade minerals include tremolite and actinolite; serpentine, agate, crystal, turquoise, etc. This is an era of colored stones. In general, the jade materials used in the cultures of the Neolithic Age are all locally sourced and will not be transported from a distance. In the Neolithic Age, the ancestors of the southern margin of the Tarim Basin have discovered Hetian jade, and its specific age remains to be studied. For thousands of years, Hetian jade has been in the historical position of Chinese national culture and jade culture. In view of the current situation, it is necessary to trace some important events of Hetian jade in thousands of years. 1. After the discovery of Hetian jade, the local ancestors opened up a route for transporting Hetian jade, the “Jade Roadâ€. This "Jade Road" has been paid more attention to by the academic circles in China for more than a decade. "Hetian jade exports to the Central Plains for about 5,000. 6,000 years." "This jade road is the earliest transportation line between China and the world that communicates politics, culture and commerce. It is also the longest distance and time of use. The longest road traffic artery. "This road laid the foundation for the later Silk Road, and this historical achievement is indelible. Second, in many jade in China, after long-term use and identification of the ancestors, Hetian jade is considered to be the leader among many jade. Therefore, from the beginning of the Xia Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty, Hetian jade has become the main jade material of the court jade. A large number of jade articles unearthed from the Yin Shang Women's Tomb indicate that China's use of Hetian jade reached its first peak in the late Shang Dynasty. Third, the traditional culture of the Chinese nation is profound and profound. In particular, Confucianism, represented by Confucius and Mencius, is centered on benevolence and plays an important role in traditional culture. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Guan and Confucius attached the morality of Hetian jade to morality, and put forward the sayings of "Nine Germans" and "Eleven Morals", which made the moralization of jade reach an unprecedented climax and provided a spiritual pillar for the Chinese people to love jade. It has created Aiyu, one of the cultural characteristics of the Chinese nation. According to scholars' research, not only did the moralization of jade be completed, but also the politicization and religiousization of jade. What is worth mentioning is that traditional jade culture still has important significance in today's socialist spiritual civilization construction. Fourth, Qin Shihuang began, China implemented the emperor system, until the Qing Dynasty, Hetian jade became the emperor jade. Palace jade and nephrite mostly made. In particular, the jade that symbolizes the imperial power, mostly made of jade, the vast majority of which are Hetian jade, such as the jade used in the Qing Dynasty for more than two hundred years, the existing 25 squares of the Imperial Palace, including the wood and gold used by the two parties. In addition, the rest are used jade, the vast majority of which is Hetian jade. 5. From the "Historical Records" of the Han Dynasty, to the Chronicle of the Qing Dynasty, collectively known as the history of twenty-five. In these glorious historical documents, Hetian jade was recorded, which is hard to see for other jade. This historical fact has been recognized by all ages. As Song Yingxing, a great scientist of the Ming Dynasty, said: "Where jade... the users are all out of it." Li Shizhen, a pharmacist, also said: "There are many places to produce jade... it is more expensive than jade." At the beginning of this century, Zhang Hongjun, the founder of China's geology, pointed out in "Shi Ya": "China has been known as jade since its inception, and its place of jade production is slightly and succinct, and it is also the only one in the West. The first is the book of the book of the Guerzi Mountain in the Guliya Mountains, and the records of the officials of Zhou Qin, who are descended from the history of the officials. the so-called ancient jade of the Austrian region who, from the Chinese words, are nothing more Western. " Sixth, Chinese jade jade materials, many varieties, Qunfang fight for beauty. However, as Professor Yang Boda said, "Shang and Western Zhou period, China entered a period of jade and nephrite as the main body of the color stone jade era of primitive society." Chinese jade is known as the unique "Oriental Art" in the world. It is an important part of the Chinese national culture and the quintessence of China. Hetian played a very important role in Chinese jade jade, we can say, if there is no Hetian, China does not have such a brilliant Chinese jade, nor so brilliant Chinese jade culture. Seven, Xinjiang Hetian ancient of all ethnic groups to communicate with the mainland media. In ancient times, Xinjiang has the legendary Yellow Emperor to the Queen Mother of the West, Yao, Shunxian Yu Hall, Yuhuan, jade Nine, there is King Mu of Zhou and Xi Wang Mu Yao Chi Huan will be on top of the story in the Kunlun jade attack. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Hetian jade has been a treasure for Xinjiang. "The jade of Kunshan is not out. This three treasures are not kings." ("Shi Ji·Zhao Shijia") The jade used by various generations was all contributed to Xinjiang at that time. In the poems of the poet Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty, he said: "There is a lot of grievances in the West of the Bodhisattva. The old accompaniment to the Han Dynasty makes thousands of treasures, and the courts of the dynasty are less." Said: "The Qingshizi side of the Caiyu River, the collection of Dongguo Yisang Ma." Magnificent Hetian jade, set up a bridge of friendship between the various nationalities, is a symbol of friendship and solidarity among the various nationalities. Since ancient times, China has said that "going to be a jade" shows that jade is also a symbol of peace. 8. With the rise of modern geology, Hetian jade is also valued by the international geological community. In the late 19th century, Chinese jade began to flow abroad. In 1863, the French mineralogist A damoar made a mineralogical study on the jade of jade jade and weak jade jade in China. Divided into two categories, namely "Nephrite" and "Jadeite", the former refers to Hetian jade, the latter refers to jade, and later this category is popular all over the world. After passing to the East, it is translated as "soft jade" and "hard jade". This jade classification method is worthy of discussion and research, but from another angle, it shows that the international geological community attaches importance to Hetian jade and weak cui, and it is recognized that this is the "essence" of many jade in the world. Among the gemstone works published in foreign countries today, China Hetian jade is highly appraised. In the 1980s, an international jade delegation composed of jade scientists from New Zealand, Australia, Canada and other countries visited Xinjiang. They called Xinjiang Hetian a jade town in the world. Professor Lee Joseph of the United Kingdom is famous for studying the history of Chinese science and technology. He said: "The Hetian (Yutian) and Yeer's local mountains and waters in Xinjiang are the main or the only jade centers in the past two thousand years." In the market, ancient jade articles made of Hetian jade are favored. 9. After the founding of New China, the raw materials of Chinese jade are full of flowers. In addition to the weak jade imported from abroad, domestic jade is generally high-grade jade with Hetian jade, especially sheep fat jade, which is of high value, especially after the reform and opening up. The increase is rare in domestic jade. Rotary Hammer,Fixtec Hammers,Demolition Breakers Fixtec Power Tools Co., Ltd. , http://www.fixtec-tools.com
