PS: Ask for a monthly pass

In the end, Guan Fei still did not send Tang Sancai Ma Cheng, because of Ma Tianzuo's call, Liu Sheng had to change his itinerary and go to Nanyang, in order to open a museum in China's world, the Palace Museum is not counted, just for the ancestors to guard the ancestral industry, there is no courage to embrace all rivers, although there are many collections in Liu Sheng's eyes, but it is not a world-level museum, he must accumulate a huge amount of money, otherwise it is just a castle in the air.

Nanyang's jade carving cultural festival has to be said to be an opportunity to lay the foundation for his own entry into the gambling stone world, just two days of fare, Guan Fei said nothing to ask, Liu Sheng had to accept his grateful thanks, hurried to Nanyang, the southernmost part of Yuhe Province, to take the first step for his ambitious ideals.

Nanyang City, known as Wan in ancient times, is located in the southwest of Yuhe Province, bordering Hubei Province and Shaanxi Province, and is named after the south of Funiu Mountain and the north of Hanshui. Historically, Nanyang is one of the sources of the ancient Silk Road, and is the place where Qu Yuan, one of the four major cultural celebrities in the world, "detains horses and admonishes the king", and the place where the military strategist Zhuge Liang ploughs, and the famous Qin and Chu "Battle of Danyang" and the story of the Three Kingdoms "Sangu Thatched House" took place here. Nanyang gave birth to the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing, Kesheng Zhang Heng, Shang Sheng Fan Li, Mousheng Jiang Ziya and other historical celebrities, during the Warring States Period, Nanyang was a famous iron smelting center, and then it was the location of Nanyang County, one of the 36 counties of the Qin Dynasty, and was used as a companion capital in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was the place where Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor, was born, so it was called "Southern Capital" and "Emperor Township" in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

However, Liu Sheng is not here to travel to this historical and cultural city, although everything here is deeply attracted to him, but he came here for the jade rough. Dushan jade.

Nanyang jade. It is also known as 'Dushan Jade' or 'Southern Jade'. It is produced in Dushan in the north of the urban area of Nanyang City. It is one of the four famous jades in the country. Dushan jade is tough and micro-dense, delicate and soft, luster and transparent, and the color is mottled and separate. There are many varieties of Nanyang jade carving colors, there are more than 30 color types such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, etc., with bright color, high hardness and good luster. The texture is delicate, the transparency is high, it is the best raw material for carving jade, which can be comparable to jadeite, and the Germans once called it "Nanyang jade". The varieties of jade carving products can be divided into 4 categories, such as figures, flowers and birds, animals, etc., the characters are mostly based on myths and legends, ancient opera stories, flowers and birds have 23 kinds of birds and phoenixes, magpies and plums, phoenix peonies, long-tailed bird screens, etc. There are 16 kinds of beasts, such as lions, elephants, tigers, cows, and horses; There are more than 120 kinds of jade bottles, jade rings, converters, pavilion furnaces, jade tripods, etc.

Nowadays, Nanyang City in order to develop Nanyang jade carving. To promote jade culture, the Nanyang Jade Carving Art Festival also came into being. At the same time, it has also attracted many jade-related industries to settle down in Nanyang, such as jadeite wool, which has developed and grown in Nanyang under the influence of Nanyang jade carving, and has almost become the largest urban market in the central and western regions.

Liu Sheng did not contact Ma Tianzuo when he came to Nanyang, he knew that Ma Tianzuo would inevitably contact him when the time came, he wanted to feel the atmosphere of Nanyang's jade carving cultural festival.

The Nanyang Jade Carving Art Festival is held at the Jade Cultural Square at the foot of Dushan Mountain, which is not so much a jade cultural square as a huge jade market, where China's four famous jades - Hetian jade, Xiuyan jade, Dushan jade, and turquoise can be found, but at most it is Dushan jade and the jade wool that has influenced the entire East Asian jade market.

Although there is still one day to go, but the merchants from all over the country have begun to prepare, hoping to get a good start in tomorrow's jade carving cultural festival, so that the business is booming in the entire cultural festival, of course, some ready vendors will never refuse to solicit guests today, if someone in the stall to solve any good material, tomorrow is also a propaganda is not.

"Little brother, little brother, how about taking a look at our wool over here?" As he was walking forward, Liu Sheng suddenly heard someone calling him from behind, looked back suspiciously, and found a middle-aged man greeting him in lame Mandarin.

"Call me?" Liu Sheng asked, pointing to his nose.

"Yes, yes, it's your little brother, look at you as a connoisseur, look at how my wool is here, absolutely authentic Burmese old pit." The middle-aged man said enthusiastically.

Myanmar old pit? Liu Sheng looked at a few pieces of wool on the stall and began to despise it, since the last time he gambled on stones, he also read some books on gambling stones and even consulted some masters, he was no longer the kind of Ameng under the city, relying on the spirit pupil to detect the treasure light emitted on the wool, and some basic knowledge was still very solid.

"The boss didn't mean that the genius started to open, why did you start today." Liu Sheng didn't answer his words, but chatted with the boss without a match.

"Alas, isn't this a few days early that we have set up the stalls in advance, but you also know that the stalls in this art festival are basically expensive, let's sell a few more pieces of wool to earn back the booth fees." The boss felt that there was nothing to do, the business was very light, and it was rare for someone to stop here, so he simply chatted with Liu Sheng, which can be regarded as accumulating popularity.

"Listening to the accent, it seems that the boss is not a local." Liu Sheng suddenly asked.

"Don't hide it, little brother, I am a native of Lijiang, Yunnan Province, the whole family is doing jade business, I was sent out to expand sales in Nanyang, my surname is An Youde, you can call me Brother An, I can give you a discount." This stall owner is definitely a self-acquaintance, and he became Liu Sheng's eldest brother before he said a few words.

"Brother An, you can't fool me, you won't be from the Eighty-Three Factory." Liu Sheng pointed to a piece of wool in front of him and said.

"Brother, you can joke, my An Youde's reputation in Lijiang is well-known, how can I do such a thing?" An Youde's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he said excitedly.

Basan jade is a kind of new jade produced in northern Myanmar and jadeite with the same new jade, its jade quality, color, transparency and other similar to jadeite, the industry said that the characteristics of Basan jade is "carved soft, the sound of hitting is muffled". In recent years, it has been widely seen in the jewelry market in Kunming, Ruili, Tengchong and other places in Yunnan Province, and also in the jewelry market in some large cities in the mainland. Because the appearance of Basan jade resembles natural jadeite, and the price is very cheap, it occupies the market very quickly. Basanyu is widely loved by people and has a very good market prospect.

"Brother An, don't get excited, I'm not joking with you, but you admit that your class is all from Massakou." Liu Sheng pointed to several pieces of jade wool nearby and said.

Liu Sheng said that Masa Kengkou is a new factory, no skin or less skin, the green is lighter, the water and the bottom are good and bad, mainly used as low-grade Burmese jade bracelet material or large ornament material. The economic value is relatively low, and it is also a common means for some wool merchants to fool some rookie players, of course, it is also due to the increasing scarcity of jadeite wool.

"No, my brother didn't let you see these wool, how about you look at these, but my main fist product at the art festival." An Youde was a little hairy by Liu Sheng, so he had to lift the felt cloth next to him and ask Liu Sheng to see it.

Good guy, Liu Sheng has to be impressed by this An Youde, all of them are the materials of the old pit, you must know that now the Myanmar government has issued a mining restriction order on the jadeite rough, it is good to be able to get good materials from the Massa factory, Liu Sheng just now was not just a fraud to him, but he didn't expect to really blow up a big fish.

"Awesome." Liu Sheng sincerely stretched out his thumb to An Youde, and his expression of admiration was overflowing.

"That's how dare you go to Liangshan without three thirds, I was going to make an appearance at the art festival, and I was ready to shock those who don't know the thickness of the earth and the earth, but I didn't expect to miss the cowardice in the old brother, but brother, let's say okay, you can only choose a piece in the corner I opened, and tomorrow I am ready to compare the rest of the soil buns in Pingzhou." An Youde looked at Liu Sheng and showed a simple smile.

Originally, Lijiang Tengchong area has been the only communication line for the transportation of Myanmar jadeite rough to China because of the geographical relationship, and it is also the only jadeite wool distribution center in China, but due to the in-depth development of China, waterway transportation has also developed, and Pingzhou in Foshan City has sprung up, becoming a strong competitor in Lijiang and Tengchong, and it has also made the wool merchants in the two places look at each other unpleasantly, and have been holding their breath to compete with each other throughout the country.

"Okay, since I give me face brother, I can't help but give face to my brother, no, I'll choose a piece of these." Liu Sheng nodded with a smile, it was not easy to see the old pit material here, not to mention that he was already very satisfied if he could choose a piece before the art festival began.

Liu Sheng smiled and picked up a piece of Houjiang material, "How much is Brother An?" ”

"Did you really choose this one? It's a thunderbolt. An Youde looked at Liu Sheng in amazement, he really didn't know what Lu Dao said, he was both moved and surprised.

Houjiang jade is also known as Kandi jade. It is also called the thunder field. It is divided into the old Houjiang and the new Houjiang, and Liu Shengxuan is a new Houjiang, the new Houjiang is worse than the old Houjiang water head, the ground is worse, the density and hardness are not as big as the old Houjiang jade, and there are many cracks.

"yes, that's it." Liu Sheng nodded confidently. (To be continued......)
