Jiulong handed the stone to Mr. Wei.

Mr. Wei sighed: "Even such a stone will be caught by you, it seems that you are born to pick up stones, congratulations on picking up the treasure, come, I will take you to other boats to see, whether there are good stones, it is not easy for me to come to a trip, this time is busy." ”

Mr. Wei took Jiulong and the two of them to several other fishing boats to look at the stones.

Mr. Wei and Shi Nong are very familiar with each other, they greet each other when they meet, he looks at stones, buys stones, and is always between "love at first sight", and rarely hesitates.

In front of a batch of stones, he swept his eyes to know if there was a "situation".

To buy or not to buy, to make a decision at the right time.

It is rare to turn the stone over and over, get up and crouch down, pick it up and put it down.

He said to Kowloon: "The strange stone is a stone of visual enjoyment, and the first understanding of the senses is very important.

"In the business field, customers have the same mentality, and it is rare to spend time looking at the products they don't fancy and then slowly cultivating their feelings. ”

Mr. Wei can't let go of his favorite stone, and he can't let go of it.

There were a few times when he took a fancy to the stone, and the seller raised the price and raised the price, and he increased the price and increased the price, and he did not let go if he did not take it......

Mr. Wei jokingly said to Jiulong: "Back then, my persistence in buying stones and the style of buying stones were seen as jokes, and I thought that I was spending money in vain and buying stones indiscriminately, but you see, the stones I buy now have become fine and classic collectibles that are rarely seen in the stone market again!"

"Is it? Mr. Wei is so good at having so many stones? ”

Kowloon is in high spirits.

Jiulong had a mystery in his heart, and he asked Mr. Wei how many strange stones there were in GX.

Mr. Wei introduced as he walked.

There are a total of 137 stone types in GX, of which the most popular ones are four categories: large fossils, faience stones, Sanjiang stones, and guest stones.

The collection of these four major stone species probably arose in the eighties and nineties of the last century, and they were all developed by Taiwanese stone merchants who had an early rise in stone culture.

At present, the best stone species are all in the Hongshui River Basin.

Hongshui River, the local people call it cornucopia, from Tian'e to Dawan River section, its unique geological conditions and geographical environment, produce more than 10 kinds of high-grade strange stones, constitute the Hongshui River strange stone series, which is extremely rare in the country and even the world.

In the whole country and even in Southeast Asia, when it comes to strange stones, all think that GX is rich in strange stone resources, with the most varieties, and the best grade of stone, and enjoys the reputation of "GX strange stone armor in the world".

The many types of stones produced by the Hongshui River are of outstanding ornamental value.

Tian'e stone presents a relief picture, heavenly creation, there are objects, there are landscapes, especially the wordless book of heaven;

The natural glaze of faience stone is simple and elegant, dignified and generous, and the charm is endless;

The large fossil is rich in color, the stone skin is moist, the jewels are magnificent, and the artistic conception is profound;

The lines of the guest curl stone are smooth and varied.

These stones have a high degree of jade (silicification), toughness and corrosion resistance, and excellent texture.

Mr. Wei talked about the strange stones of the Hongshui River, he said: "In recent years, the national strange stone exhibition, the strange stone festival, the strange stone expo and some international stone exhibitions hosted by our country, the strange stone of the Hongshui River has always occupied the position of the main stone species, according to the exhibition unit, if there is no GX stone exhibition, the taste of this stone exhibition is less than half, or even a decently stone exhibition."

"And every time there is a large-scale strange stone exhibition, among the award-winning stones, the largest share is also from the Hongshui River, such as large fossils, guest curly stone, Heshan painted pottery stone, gourd stone, green jade, etc., are the frequent visitors to the stone exhibition to win gold and silver. ”

"Mr. Wei, let's talk more about big fossils for me. ”

Kowloon came to the guests, and they knew something about other stone species, but they still didn't have any concept of large fossils.

"The big fossil is the abbreviation of Dahua colored jade. ”

Mr. Wei will introduce here first, because many people will misunderstand large fossils as fossils, which are two different concepts.

The large fossils are produced in the river section near the Yantan Hydropower Station in Dahua, and at present, because the reservoir area above the dam has been impounded, only a section of the river about 6 kilometers long under the dam is being developed.

Judging from the large fossils that have been developed, whether they are as large as 120 tons of boulders or as small as 20 or 30 grams, they all have the characteristics of stone hardness, high degree of siliconization or jadeization, peculiar stone shapes, various postures, infinite changes in patterns and patterns, bright colors, harmony and pleasing to the eye.

According to the research of geologists and stone experts, the large fossil is colored jade, which was born in the Permian of the Paleozoic about 260 million years ago, and is a marine sedimentary siliceous rock.

Its original rock is a siliceous rock in the alteration zone of igneous rock and sedimentary rock, with a tight stone structure, Mohs hardness of about 5 to 7 degrees, bright and simple colors, golden, brownish, brown-red, dark brown, bronze, emerald green, yellow-green, gray-green, pottery white and other colors, and its cause lies in the dissemination of the rock by a variety of mineral elements dissolved in water, such as iron and manganese ion-causing pigments.

The skin of Dahua colored jade is warm and moist like fat, rich in luster, the layering changes in an orderly manner, the color rhyme is natural, the texture is clear and charming, which makes people feel warm.

The shape of Dahua colored jade is mostly seen in the scenery of Songyue Yungang or the appearance of Zhangtai fairyland, which depends on its layering is related to different degrees of erosion factors, and is related to the location of Hongshui River, the position of the stone is different, the shape of the stone is different, and the size is also different.

From the perspective of shape, color, quality and pattern, Dahua colored jade has achieved natural coordination, which appears subtle and full of charm, giving people a pleasing feeling.

In 1997, the salvage of large fossils began, and in the stone market at that time, which was dominated by "appreciation", it did not attract enough attention because of its "intangible".

In 1999 and 2002, the Liuzhou Stone Exhibition, a piece of warm texture, smooth stone skin, bright color of large fossils displayed in front of the national stone friends, finally attracted wide attention in the stone world.

Subsequently, the theoretical community and the media followed up in a timely manner, and refined the concept of "treasure" stone appreciation.

The big fossil finally entered the house and became the leader of the stone market.

Now, the large fossil resources have been basically depleted, and their prices have soared, and the potential for collectible value can be expected.

"Shape, color, quality, pattern" with the appearance of Dahua colored jade, with epoch-making novelty.

At that time, Zhang Wei and them used large fossils as a template to summarize the five beauty standards of "shape, color, quality, pattern and rhyme".

As soon as this standard was introduced, it became unstoppable the mainstream of the new era of stone appreciation and stone standards, so that the continuation of thousands of years of ups and downs, to the Song Dynasty calligrapher and painter Mi Fu put forward the "wrinkle, thin, leaky, transparent, ugly" stone appreciation standard stone appreciation culture theory, found a breakthrough, determined the stone appreciation culture theory from "wrinkle, thin, transparent, leaky, ugly" to "shape, color, quality, pattern, rhyme" evolution, enriched the Chinese stone culture, added luster to the treasure house of Chinese culture.

Jiulong listened and was silent, whoever controls the market will have the right to speak, so, just as he thought when he heard Heshan Qingquan explain the seven reward standards before, the so-called new standards are tailor-made, the purpose is to beat the reputation of the stone in his hometown.
