“The reason why Huang Longyu was famous in the country in just a few years is even the third largest jade that can directly confront the market with jade and Hetian jade. In fact, the main reason is that it is a high quality Carving raw materials entered the jade market. When thousands of Huanglongyu, which were processed into bracelets, pendants, pieces and ornaments, entered the family, Huang Longyu’s name naturally stood out in the big family of yellow wax stone.” Chen Weihua, the big player of Chaozhou Wax and Huanglongyu, and the vice president of the Guangdong Ornamental Stone Association, admitted to the Nanfang Daily reporter that Chaozhou Waxstone, as the most prestigious yellow wax stone in Guangdong, has experienced hundreds of years of rewards and collections, but its value The prospects have yet to be explored by our generation. Although the traditional classic gameplay of "natural skin color and shape" is never out of date, but to deepen its cultural connotation, we must also vigorously promote the development of sculpture.

In the past five years, Chen Weihua has become the first traditional player to eat "crab" in carving in the origin of Chaozhou wax stone. As more and more players realize the role of engraving in enhancing the cultural connotation and market value of Chaozhou Waxstone, the ancient stone species that have been regarded as treasures by civil officials and riches began to be in the jade market. On the "rejuvenation of youth."

Decade of development of the Chaozhou wax stone resources

In the stone-viewing world, there are sayings that "the number of world gravel is China, the number of Chinese gravel is Lingnan, and the number of Lingnan wax is Chaozhou". Guangdong's Chaozhou wax, Taishan wax and Zijin wax have been recognized by the industry as the giants of the national wax stone family, and the history of Chaozhou wax stone is the longest.

According to legend, a group of famous scholars named Han Yu and the late Tang Dynasty prime minister Li Deyu, who had been represented by Li Deyu, had already made the local stone appreciation culture begin. Especially in the Song Dynasty, in the context of Shangwen's light martial arts, the wind and stone of the Chaozhou civil servant Fu Jia was prosperous, and there was a famous stone-like stone like Wu Retro. Wu Retro and Su Dongpo have similar interests in the collection of famous stones. They have made a special trip to Dengzhou quarrying, and they have been transported back to Chaozhou residence for a reward. The Su Shi, who is also a stone idiot, was greatly moved. Stone Records.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the local economy and culture of Chaozhou were further developed, and there were more famous stone and stone masters. Among them, Liu Xiyan, Wu Liuqi, Zheng Changshi, Ding Richang and other magi had the greatest influence on the stone world. Some are handed down by famous stones, while others are written in stone history by cultural writings.

According to historical records, the group of stone lovers in Chaozhou has gradually expanded from the bureaucratic to the civilian population. From the end of the Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China, the objects of enjoyment are more and more diversified, including local wax stones, sea erosion stones and Guangdong Province. The stone and crystal. However, although the stones that players exchange with each other are very rich, the most popular among Chaozhou people is their local Chaozhou wax stone. In the early years of the Republic of China, Xu Wanshi, the Tibetan stone was extremely rich, and it was said that in order to get a Chaozhou wax stone "Yu Linglong", he would not hesitate to spend 800 oceans - such a price can already buy a good big house at that time. It can be seen that some of the best Chaozhou wax stones have been highly valued by players at that time, even as much as today.

The reporter learned from the "China Chaozhou Wax Stone Collection" edited by Yang Shuxiong that from the middle and late period of the Republic of China to the early 1970s, due to historical reasons, the stone culture of Chaozhou fell into the trough after several centuries of steady development. In the mid and late 1970s, the spring breeze of reform and opening up slowly recovered. By the end of the 90s and the beginning of the 21st century, with the full development of the domestic economy, culture and society, the stone appreciation culture has also accompanied the rise of the Chinese art market and entered a new historical stage.

With the increasing exchanges between the newly discovered stone species and the stone world, Chaozhou people have become more and more wide in their eyes on the collection of Kistler, and their tastes are getting higher and higher. Some stone species that have risen in the Kistler market in the country, For example, Guangxi Fossil, Yunnan Huanglongyu, Inner Mongolia's Gobi stone, Fujian's Longjiang stone, Myanmar's tree jade, etc., have long been sought after by the Chaozhou Tibetan stone group. It is particularly worth mentioning that some Lingnan high-quality stone species, such as the purple enamel stone, are also re-acquired by the market because of the Chaozhou people's first large-scale entry.

Today, the stone appreciation culture has a very high penetration rate in the popular family in Chaozhou. "Because of being a cultural city with a profound historical heritage in Chaozhou, many citizens' subconscious minds believe in an ancient saying that 'there is no stone in the garden, no stone in the book, no stone in the hall.'" Chen Weihua, vice president of the Guangdong Provincial Ornamental Stone Association, told the Nanfang Daily reporter.

Chaozhou wax stone variety is bright and colorful

From the classification of rocks, Chaozhou wax stone is a sedimentary rock, metamorphic rock and crystalline rock. Its main component is quartz, namely silica. As long as people who play with the stone know that in the domestic Kistler family, the same or similar ingredients of the Chaozhou wax stone are like a cow's hair, widely known as agate, chalcedony, gold jade, etc., only in the yellow wax In this family of stone, there are also many members, including Huanglongyu, Taishanyu, Zijinyu and so on. Here, just pick one out and put it in the national stone-viewing world.

So, what are the distinctive qualities of Chaozhou Wax?

According to an expert from the Guangdong Provincial Ornamental Stone Association, Chaozhou wax stone has obvious characteristics of multi-stage mineralization, so it is diverse and colorful. “In terms of appearance and color, the characteristics of Chaozhou wax stone are very clear. Compared with other similar stones, the identification of external features is very obvious. It can be seen at first glance. Especially the Chaozhou wax like lychee red The unique breed of stone, the player is definitely not looking away."

According to the degree of transparency and the degree of smoothness and oiliness of the surface, the geologists generally divide the wax stone into several types such as frozen wax, rubber wax, crystal wax, fine wax and crude wax. However, Chaozhou players usually divide Chaozhou wax stone into two categories: ordinary wax stone and frozen wax stone. Ordinary wax stones are mostly natural shapes, and the stone skin is mainly wax yellow. The output of such wax stone is relatively large, and the whole is not completely frozen wax. It cannot be used as a carving material, and can only be viewed directly from the original stone. Another type of wax stone is the whole body frozen wax after removing the stone skin. It is called frozen wax stone (also known as frozen meat stone). Its texture is delicate, such as meat, crystal clear and transparent, jade, rich in color like painting, brilliant and beautiful. It can be used as a carving material or as a raw stone.

According to the surface stone color, wax stone can be divided into yellow wax, red wax, black wax, white wax, flower wax and other categories, both yellow and red, yellow, white, yellow, black, and multi-colored, yellow wax Stone is the most common, so wax stone is also called yellow wax stone. According to Han Jie, director of the Guangdong Stone Appreciation Professional Committee and senior consultant of Chaozhou City Cultural Relics Association, the main production area of ​​Chaoshan Wax is Chaozhou, which is located in the Lianhuashan deep fault zone. It has many varieties, many colors and abundant resources. There are dozens of pit gates produced, mainly distributed in Dengtang Town, Phoxi Town, Yixi Town, Fenghuang Town of Chao'an County, Tunxi Town and Fubin Town of Raoping County.

Promote carvings to explore new cultural values

In fact, according to Chen Weihua, the wax resources in Guangdong Province are very rich. There are wax stones produced in Chaozhou, Jiexi, Fogang, Shaoguan, Qingyuan, Taishan, Kaiping and Dianbai. In these years, Taishan Yu and Zijin Jade is highly sought after in the national market. Taishan Jade has even become a very famous carving material in the jade market. Its appearance and jade have been widely recognized and accepted by collectors, and Zijinyu has developed very well in recent years. It is a wax stone production area that Chaozhou players pay much attention to.

In his view, the advantage of Chaozhou Wax Stone is not only because of its profound historical and cultural heritage. It has been sought after by Han Yu and a large number of ancient literati, bureaucrats and rich Jia, and has left a lot of writings in the historical literature. People traced the research, and the texture, stone color and appearance of Chaozhou wax stone is also the most prestigious in the national wax stone market. In general, its appearance and intrinsic characteristics are relatively good, so it is suitable for use as a pure natural ornamental stone, but also suitable for carving various ornaments, pieces or jewelry. "It can reach a hardness of 6 to 7 degrees Moss. We have opened a large number of Chaozhou wax stone materials with a relatively large appearance. We found that the color and texture inside are very good, and the Chaozhou wax stone itself is relatively transparent and warm. Therefore, the carvings and ornaments that have been made are quickly recognized by the players and the market. The utilization rate is very high for the engraving and processing industry, and it is a very reliable engraving raw material."

However, although the Chaozhou wax stone is a good thing for the carving industry, due to cultural traditions, its use in carving began in recent years.

According to Chen Weihua, the traditional play stone in Chaozhou is mainly based on water (natural) wax stone. Before the player judged whether a stone is good or not, the most important thing is its quality, and the value of the artificially carved "work". I don’t quite agree with it. It was not until 2000 that the local mainstream collectors slowly changed their minds and kept up with the times.

The reporter learned that Chen Weihua's own driving has played a key role in the transformation of the concept of some local collectors. "In these years, I invested heavily in buying a large number of high-quality raw materials, and invited a large number of well-known domestic carving masters to create a large number of exquisite works." Chen Weihua admits that at the time the local market is not very agreeable This is very risky. After hundreds of years of mining, the resources of Chaozhou Waxstone are on the verge of exhaustion. Currently, some old materials are circulating on the market, and the price is very expensive. Fortunately, I have done a lot of experiments before, and I have a deeper understanding of the physical properties of Chaozhou wax stone, so I have such confidence. Otherwise, once it is unsuccessful, not only will it lose a lot of rough, but it will also cost a lot of labor.

It turns out that Chen Weihua’s attempt was successful. A large number of fine Chaozhou wax carvings produced by him were exhibited, which caused a huge sensation among the collectors. “A lot of collectors have gradually recognized the practice of using precious Chaozhou wax stone for carvings after seeing the real thing. Many works are not only worse than Huanglongyu and Taishan, but also have another charm. An expert from the Guangdong Provincial Ornamental Stone Association told reporters that it was the courage of Chen Weihua to “eat crab for the first time”, and then there were other players following up.

"In these years, we have vigorously promoted the Chaozhou wax stone carving, and through carving to enhance the cultural added value of the wax stone, it is not against the original classic gameplay." Chen Weihua admits, "On the contrary, through our bold and fruitful attempt in carving Let more people recognize the other intrinsic value of Chaozhou wax stone. In the past few years when Huanglongyu developed the most frenetic, some people doubted the market value of Chaozhou wax, and some even sold some of the treasured products. To buy Huanglongyu. These practices are all based on the incomprehension of Chaozhou wax stone. Without understanding nature, there is no confidence. In fact, after these years, we let the market begin to realize that the value prospect of Chaozhou wax stone is very large. of."
