Panjiayuan is a unique place with local characteristics, although it is only from 92 years to begin to form, a little bit of expansion, and finally formed the current scale, covering an area of 48,500 square meters, mainly engaged in ancient items, jewelry and jade, handicrafts, collectibles, decorations, annual turnover of billions of yuan.

Since this is a thrift market, there are definitely not only second-hand goods, but also a lot of modern handicrafts. Although some things are modern and modern, they are also worth a lot of money. For example, the rise of porcelain wool, in January 1975, the Institute of Ceramic Industry of the Ministry of Light Industry of Jiangxi Province secretly developed a batch of porcelain for special use. More than 30 years have passed, and this batch of porcelain has also increased tens of thousands of times from the original dozens of yuan: 100,000 yuan for a spoon, 1.7 million yuan for a small porcelain bowl, and 2 million yuan for a set of wine utensils for a pot of ten cups, or even higher.

There is one more thing that is also worth mentioning, and that is stamps. Now people rarely use, with the convenience of communication, stamps gradually withdraw from history, lose the use value, more collection value and artistry. Many people have heard of monkey stamps, China's first zodiac stamps, is also beyond the sky-high price, but this is not the highest price of Chinese stamps, the highest price is "the national mountains and rivers are red" November 25, 1968 issued by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, Beijing stamp factory printed stamps. The stamp pattern is the workers, peasants and soldiers holding the "*** quotations", the red flag of the "Revolutionary Committee" in the background converges into a sea of red and the scene of the workers, peasants and soldiers cheering warmly, above is a map of the People's Republic of China, the map is painted in bright red except for Taiwan Province, which is printed with the gold characters of "the country's mountains and rivers are red", the stamp width is 30 mm× 40 mm, the perforation is 11.5 degrees× 11 degrees, and the whole number of pieces is 50 (10×5). On May 21, 2012, "The Mountains and Rivers of the Country Are Red" was sold at a price of 7,302,500 yuan in the "Philatelic Products" special session of China Guardian's 2012 Spring Auction, setting a new record for a single stamp auction in China.

In addition, in 1953, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and the Ministry of Information and Military Affairs of the Central Military Commission agreed that in order to give preferential treatment to military personnel to send letters free of charge, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications issued a set of "military stickers" stamps to the cadres of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and soldiers to send letters. The face value is 800 yuan. The pattern is "August 1st" military micro, and the words "military sticker", "Chinese people's postal service" and "800 yuan" are printed under the military micro. Back then, it was given out for free to the military, do you know what the price is now? Saying it scares you to death, 2.3575 million! You must know that there were more than 4 million soldiers at that time, think about the circulation of this set of stamps, but there are very few that have been handed down, so it has become a sky-high collection, which is hard to find.

Why do I know so much about stamps, I was also fascinated by these colorful pieces of paper back then, and the annual New Year's money was handed over to the postal service, guarding to buy commemorative mail, and there were several sets of them, such as Mei Lanfang's souvenir sheet, as well as aviation commemorative mail...... Limited to financial means, that's all.

But today's goal is not to do so, and the philatelic craze has long since passed. Although I came here by accident today, it gave me an idea, looking for jade! It's the kind of jade that can be rich in energy to help cultivate.

I walked unhurriedly, looking at the stalls and tourists with great interest. I never stopped, because I knew that the jade on display here was a fake. There are a lot of genuine jadeite products, you must know that the collection history of jadeite is not long, all because of Cixi, this old lady likes it, so the upward and downward effects have driven the boom of jadeite. Jadeite is basically fake, and it only needs to be divided into good and bad, and the quality is.

It's also ore, but it doesn't contain energy, so it doesn't do much to me, it's just beautiful at best. Jade is different, since ancient times there have been people raising jade, jade raising people. At the earliest time, human beings believed that jade could have energy and communicate with the heavens, so sacrificial vessels such as Cong were made of jade, and later became used by nobles and then to the poor. According to the quality of jade, it is divided into three, six, nine and so on.

But isn't there no real thing here? So what are you doing here? Hehe, don't worry, what I'm talking about is not genuine. You know, there's an interesting thing in the world of collecting called gambling stones.

The so-called gambling stone is to use Puyu to gamble. Most of the corpus are wrapped in a layer of weathered skin, and it is impossible to know the quality of the gambling stone after cutting. You must know that it takes a lot of jade knowledge to be able to see the advantages and disadvantages of jade through the outer skin of jade. In today's advanced technology, there is no instrument that can detect it. The raw materials of jade are excavated, and the outside is wrapped with a layer of rock shell, and no one can say what is inside the shell, so the process of judging jade is called "gambling stone" in the industry.

We often see small windows on large pieces of jade. While these small windows are likely to be green, you must be extra cautious when you see them. If the seller can be sure that there is a lot of green inside, then why doesn't he open a big window and sell it for a good price?

The jade material that has been opened generally needs to be bid according to the standard of brick material according to different situations. The green of some windows is the broken edge of the pickaxe, and when illuminated with a lamp, the inside is lovely green, but strangely, the window part is not polished. The reason for this is most likely due to too many cracks, bad water, black or incorrect green. Once such jadeite is polished, all the shortcomings will be exposed. If this happens, the seller needs to polish the unclear part of the rough before negotiating.

When buying high-grade jade, traces of manual polishing are often visible. Most of these traces are left by some of the traces of grinding, digging and rubbing before the jade material enters our country, due to the owner looking for green on the jade material. These traces are often not green. Since then, it has been cleverly camouflaged with sand and glue of the same color as the skin. If a piece of jade material, there are artificial convex and concave traces everywhere, you should see as much green as you want, and the green you see at this time is usually the true value of the finished product.

As a unique way of trading, gambling stones have risen and prospered since the history of the China-Myanmar border and Yunnan jade trading market. An unopened window of the original stone, in addition to the shape and weight, no one can tell what is inside, there is such a saying in the gambling stone world: "It is difficult for the gods to break the jade." "It is only after cutting and dissecting that there is a real conclusion. Based on their own experience and the performance on the shell, the gambling stone man repeatedly guesses and judges to estimate the price. If you buy it back, you may cut open the inside with a knife and the color is good, and it is worth millions of dollars, or it may be colorless and waterless inside, and it will become worthless in an instant, which is the risk of gambling stones. "One knife is poor, one knife is rich", a stone can make a person rich, or it can make a person bankrupt overnight.

This is the purpose of my visit, originally gambling stones are common in the south, such as Tengchong in Guangxi and later Pingzhou, Guangdong, and even Pingzhou has become the largest gambling stone market.

However, these bets are mainly jadeite, what emerald, imperial green are all said jadeite, jadeite in a broad sense belongs to jade, but belongs to jadeite. I'm looking for nephrite. The previous jade plates and wrenches, one is green jade and the other is white jade, all belong to nephrite. This kind of jade is what I'm looking for, and only this type of nephrite has energy. There is nothing else in this Sijiu City, but there are a group of stubborn masters, who are just fun, and they also brought the gambling stone set to the Sijiu City, which is in this Pan homeland. The jadeite and nephrite jade that are bet on here are split in half.

The reason why I know this is that the old man Yu who sold me the jade wrench told me, he is a descendant of the banner people, and he can be regarded as a stubborn master...... These are clear. Naturally, I knew that there was such a place to gamble on stones in this Sijiu City.

And through communicating with him, I have also solved a puzzle, why this kind of energy jade is not found in jewelry stores. Of course, the things in the jewelry store are real, but it is just jadeite, and now jadeite is becoming popular, which is transparent, colorful, and more attractive. But it doesn't have energy, so naturally it can't be perceived by me. The same is true for the jade cups of Goliath, which are also made of jadeite.

As for why one of the two contains energy and the other is just beautiful, I can't tell, but according to my guess, it is probably a problem with the composition and structure of the two.

The composition of jadeite is sodium aluminum silicate. It has a faint crystal structure with a glassy luster, clear and clean, and produces a wide range of colors, including green, lavender, white, pink, brown, red, blue, black, orange and yellow.

Nephrite is made of calcium, magnesium and iron silicate. It is a fibrous amphibole crystal aggregate. Tough to the interlocking structure of steel, the texture is delicate, the toughness is good, and it has a grease luster. According to the color, it can be divided into white jade, green jade, green and white jade, jasper, topaz, black jade, sugar jade, flower jade, etc.

If you can't tell the difference, you can get started directly, the jadeite of the two feels more astringent, and the nephrite feels more slippery and has no astringency.

Although I know that there is a place, but it also takes some time to find it, and things like gambling stones are generally not set up in stalls, but are more placed in the room, and there must be equipment to facilitate the calcing. Mental power can be my support, at least it has to be nearby, according to my current ability, it should be within 20 meters of the surrounding area to be perceived by me.

A slight and piercing sound came from the "......", which was the sound of the grinding wheel turning and rubbing the stone.

I was overjoyed, and moved towards the place where the sound came from, and saw a group of people in the distance, and I stood on my tiptoes and looked in. But I didn't feel the energy fluctuation, could it be jadeite?

Curiosity is the commonality of human beings, especially Chinese people, who are crowded with three layers inside and three layers outside, and they can't see the situation inside on their toes. I had to try to squeeze inside, and with a burst of scolding on the street, I finally squeezed into the front row.

Alas...... Bai is happy, not calcite. Some people play carving on the spot, carving white marble, carving a portrait for a tourist. It's a pity that the name has the word white jade, but it is far from the white jade I am looking for. The composition of white marble is carbonate, and the composition of nephrite is silicate...... White marble is white marble.

As the saying goes, under the nose is the road. If you don't know the place, you can open your mouth to ask, and you can naturally ask.

This is Panjiayuan, it's not impossible to ask for directions, but it's just that you will be wronged, so don't blame others for stealing the knife too sharp.

This is the rule of Pan Jiayuan, don't ask the price if you don't want to buy. The other thing is to talk less and see more. There are many mistakes in saying more, even experts often look at them.

I had to find it slowly on my own.

Since it is a fusion of culture and history, it is natural that it cannot be a modern building, all the buildings are antique, and they are not too high, at most two floors. Surrounded by high-rise buildings, it looks like a vacancy in the city, which is somewhat incompatible with modern high-rise buildings.

So I changed my goal and started walking along the houses around me. Due to the limited cultivation, I couldn't take the initiative to search for it with my spiritual power, and I could only feel it after I arrived nearby, so I had to look for them one by one.

Suddenly, when I passed by a small storefront, I inadvertently caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

"Yo, old man Yu, I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you doing? Why do you have time to come here today? "It was the old man Yu who sold me the jade wrench, and I stepped in to greet him.

Old man Yu seems to have a good memory, and he recognized me at a glance, "It's you, Xiaoyou, this is my business, of course I'm here." But you, why do you have time to come to the shop to sit? ”

"It's not idle, just take a stroll, remember that you mentioned that there are gambling stones here before, and I want to open my eyes." I said as I looked at the shop.

The old man is a particular person, although the store is not big, but the layout is exquisite, a bit ancient. Why is this shop all jade? All kinds of jadeite, dazzling, under the light, it looks extraordinarily gorgeous, the jadeite in this room is counted, but it is worth a lot of money, but it is over eight figures, and it is going to nine figures.

"Huh." The old man stroked his beard with one hand, played with the beeswax in his hand with the other, and smiled at me without saying a word.

"You just said this is your deal?" I gestured with my hand and gave a thumbs up, "Then you can take advantage of it." ”

Taking advantage of the dialect of the old Sijiu City, the meaning of having money, saying that whoever has money has to say take advantage of the money. For example, if there is a few hundred thousand, it is said that there are hundreds of thousands.

When the old man heard this, he smiled even brighter. He waved his hand at me and said modestly, "Not all, there are also friends who sent me this for sale." I'm old, I'm idle, and it's good for this, so I set up such a small shop. ”

"That's not easy. If you're in this business, why do you put your beloved things there? "I'm a little puzzled, since I'm doing jade trading, why do I still sell it in other people's stores?

"It's different, it's all new materials here, don't make old products, this is the rule." Old man Yu said with a straight face, he is still a very principled and sticking old man.

I took a look, and here, as he said, it is all new materials, modern workmanship, and there is not a single old object. Don't cheat, don't be blind, honest business.

"You just said you were curious about gambling stones?" Old Man Yu asked me.

"Yes, I heard what you said, my heart is itchy, I have always heard that I have never had a chance to see it, and I heard that it was in Guangxi and Guangdong before, but I didn't expect us to have it here, so I took a look and opened my eyes."

"You, it's here." The old man smiled again, "It happened that the previous time came in the batch of materials, if you are interested, you can follow me to take a look." ”

Yes? There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. After looking for a long time, it turned out that Mr. Yu himself was doing this business, and he knew that he would directly find it according to the address he gave me......
