After arriving at Kunming Changshui Airport, he and Kowloon transferred to the plane to Tengchong Airport, which made Kowloon very strange, what to do in Tengchong?

The old playboy couldn't help but count down the nine dragons: "Tengchong is such a famous place, you don't understand? There is the Emerald City, to understand Huanglongyu, you must first understand jadeite, many of the evaluation criteria of Huanglongyu are borrowed from jadeite, besides, Tengchong is very close to the origin of Huanglongyu, and it will be there in an hour." ”

Jiulong is a little ashamed, he has never played jade, and he doesn't know much about Yunnan, so he naturally doesn't know what Tengchong represents, of course, from the arrangement of the old playboy, it can be seen that he treats his friends sincerely, Jiulong is very grateful from the heart.

Tengchong is located in the southwest of Yunnan Province, under the jurisdiction of Baoshan, is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese, a state of literature and a jade distribution center, and is also a provincial historical and cultural city.

The main tourist attractions include Volcano Group National Park, Dieshui River Waterfall, Beihai Wetland Reserve, National Memorial Cemetery, Ai Siqi's Former Residence, etc.

Tengchong borders Myanmar to the west, and was historically a key point on the ancient southwest Silk Road.

Due to the important geographical location, the successive dynasties have sent heavy troops to garrison, and the Ming Dynasty also built a stone city, called "the first city on the extreme side".

Tengchong's border with Myanmar is 148.7 kilometers long, and it is 217 kilometers from Tengchong to Myitkyina, the capital of Kachin State.

The specific geographical advantages make it one of the birthplaces of industry and commerce in Yunnan Province.

Tengchong people were the first to discover the commercial value of jadeite, and the first jadeite processing precedent, has nearly 600 years of processing history, is an important jadeite processing trade distribution center in Southeast Asia.

From ancient times to the present, Tengchong has given birth to countless legends originating from jadeite, and has walked out of several generations of jade kings such as Zhang Baoting and Cun Zunfu.

In September 2005, Tengchong was awarded the title of "China's First Jade City" by the Asian Jewelry Federation.

After staying in Tengchong that night, early the next morning, the old playboy called Kowloon, this time he wanted to take Kowloon to the place is the jade distribution center - Tengchong Market, in a well-decorated jade shop, the owner is a beautiful woman called agarwood, about thirty years old, seems mature and sophisticated, it seems that the old boy is also very familiar, according to her own introduction, she is Ruili people, in Ruili also opened a jade shop, but also agarwood.

The old boy shouted at the agarwood: "Beauty, this is my little brother Jiulong, you can teach him the kung fu at the bottom of the box, and I will invite you to dinner at noon." ”

"You kid, do you want you to invite me to my territory, little handsome guy, tell me, what do you need to know?" Agarwood smiled back at him.

Jiulong was a little embarrassed: "Beauty, you can tell me about how to choose jadeite, I can't digest it if I talk too much." ”

Agarwood nodded, it seems that this young man is still a little reliable, so let's keep it simple, she said: "Tengchong's jadeite is mainly carved pieces, all kinds of ornaments, pendants are more, but also processing bracelets and a small number of rings, and occasionally you can find some old folk collections."

"There is a saying here, called Tengchong jadeite has no fakes, as long as you buy it in a store with a business license, no matter how big or small, you will not buy B goods, C goods.

"Of course, I don't dare to say that there are no fakes at all, but relatively speaking, there are fewer B and C goods in the finished jadeite products in the Tengchong market, but there are also color or color goods in the ring face, which is done by a very small number of people who are hungry for profit.

"Jadeite, also known as jadeite jade, jade, Burmese jade, is a type of jade.

"The correct definition of jadeite is a fibrous aggregate of pyroxene minerals dominated by jadeite minerals.

"But jadeite is not the same as jadeite.

"Jadeite is a jade-grade stone polycrystalline aggregate formed under geological action, mainly composed of jadeite or jadeite and sodium (sodium chromium pyroxene), soda-lime pyroxene (omphacite), which can contain amphibole, feldspar, chromite, limonite, etc.

"Most of the high-quality jadeite in the jewelry market comes from Quaternary and Tertiary conglomerate layered jadeite deposits in the Wulu River (River) basin in northern Myanmar.

"They are mainly distributed in the Kachin State region of northern Myanmar, with a length of about 240 km from north to south and a width of 170 km from east to west. In 1871, several major deposits were discovered in the Wulu (also known as Wulong, Ulong, Ulu) River basin in Myanmar, among which there are four of the most famous deposits, which are Dumao, Burma, Panmao and Nannaimao.

"The primary jadeite rock is mainly composed of white and scattered jadeite rocks with various green hues and brownish yellow and light purple jadeite, in addition to jadeite minerals, there are diopside, hornblende, neon and albite and other minerals, and there are very few green jadeites that reach gem quality. ”

Agarwood finally finished introducing the jadeite, and when she heard Jiulong's misty, Jiulong asked her directly, what is the standard for judging the quality of jadeite?

Agarwood gave a thumbs up to Kowloon: "You asked the point, there is a jargon called 'a two-color three-process', it can be seen that species, color, and technology are the three most basic elements of choosing jadeite, followed by size and weight, uniformity, clarity, willow crack and aesthetics."

"I'll just elaborate on it.

"The first is to look at the water,

"The image of 'planting a good shade of three ugliness' illustrates the importance of jadeite species.

"The water head, or transparency, refers to the ability of jadeite to transmit visible light.

"There is a saying: 'The bracelet depends on the seed, and the pendant looks at the color'.

"It can be seen that the importance of the jade bracelet water head.

"A good bracelet with a good head can make a woman look more youthful and energetic.

"The species grades from high to bottom are: Laokeng glass species, water species, ice species, ice glutinous species, glutinous species, and other species.

"The level of other species depends mainly on color.

"The second is to distinguish the color, there are many colors of jadeite, but the best jadeite is generally yang green.

"However, green means very different things to women of different ages, body shapes, and temperaments.

"When you buy, you should choose according to your own preferences.

"It is best for young women to choose bracelets with brighter colors and good water heads, which look young and energetic, while older women should choose bracelets with darker colors to look noble and solemn.

"The color grades from highest to lowest are: green (imperial green, positive green, apple green), red, yellow, purple.

"The third is to look at the process, there is a saying called 'half of the material and work', that is, a good work, the value of the material and the work account for half, and the quality of the process and the symbolic meaning have an impact on the price.

"In other aspects: the size and thickness of jade, that is, the same quality, are of course higher at the price of large and thick;

"Uniformity is water, color is uniform, no water difference, color difference is good;

"Clarity means that there are no blemishes and no other variegation, and the cleaner the better;

"Willow cracks, that is, no cracks are good;

"Aesthetics, the overall feeling of a jadeite object in many aspects, also varies from person to person.

"I said that, understood?"

Agarwood looked at Jiulong with expectant eyes, and she felt that she had made it clear enough.

Jiulong looked dazed, and only knew a rough idea, why didn't he dare to play jade at the beginning, that is, he heard that the water of jade was too deep, and it was not as easy to get started as strange stones, but now strange stones are playing around, and they still can't avoid jade, it can be seen that jade is not separated, and the beauty of stone is jade, this sentence is true.

Agarwood may know Jiulong's thoughts, so he gave him a book of "Jade Appreciation and Investment".

Nine dragons in his hand, like a treasure, thank you repeatedly.

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, the old playboy ran out with Kowloon, saying that he was going to Longling in a hurry, and he would see you next time!

Agarwood shook his head, this old boy is really anxious, maybe he wants to help himself save money for a meal, it's not that he can't afford it, there is really no other way, let him be!
