What is the reason why Hetian jade is expensive?
Hetian jade has been very expensive since ancient times, and many people can't help but sigh, and even become more admired to collect a piece of Hetian jade. So what is the reason for this status quo? Let us tell you below!
First, beautiful
Beauty is the most important of all factors. If it is not beautiful, there will not be so many aristocrats and literati from ancient times to the praise of Hetian jade. Hetian jade oil moist and delicate texture, "color like gelatin" white, "often dyed like fat" gloss, in line with the traditional aesthetic concept of Chinese traditional culture, not unassuming, not gorgeous, not dazzling, with a kind of " The beauty of Guanghua’s introversion has attracted thousands of years of Chinese people. The mysterious charm contained in the beauty of the white fat white jade, and many others are so crazy, even enjoy it!
Second, durability
Baiyu has been recognized by human beings since ancient times. Its toughness and durability are characterized by the ancient Chinese people. The Mohs hardness of white jade reaches 6 to 6.5, which is larger than the common hard materials such as steel, glass and ordinary rock. It is not easy to wear in daily life. The toughness of white jade is particularly prominent. Its toughness ranks second in natural minerals, only lower than Black diamond for advanced turning tools. Therefore, the sheep fat jade looks soft, the inner quality is strong and tough, and it can be used and passed down for a long time. Based on the excellent craftsmanship of Yangzhiyu, the famous jadeites of the past dynasty, all of them used the jade white jade of Hetian Yuzhong as the preferred jade for their carving skills.
Third, scarcity
The so-called "things are rare"! Rarely has important significance in determining the price of jade. As a commodity that can be exchanged, the smaller the output, the higher the value, and the higher the value. On the contrary, some jade varieties have large yields and good quality. They can also be supplied to the market in batches, and the production areas are also relatively large. The demand has not been large for a long time. Growth, value will remain at a relatively low level for a long time. Although it is rare, it will lead to high prices, but it is necessary to note that if it is so rare that people can't recognize it and even forget its beauty slowly, the market demand will naturally decrease, and its value will be greatly reduced. .
Fourth, tradition and culture
Tradition and culture are another important factor influencing the value of gemstones, which is sometimes overlooked. Demand is growing with people's gradual understanding. The more people understand, the more demand, and the strong demand will in turn stimulate the expansion of the market. In the long historical period, the Chinese formed a tradition of advocating jade, and there is a rich system of traditional jade culture. This is the sharp value of Hetian jade, especially the best of Hetian jade, since the ancient times. Rising, played a role in fueling the situation.
The ancients believed that there is no such thing as the world of jade. It means that it is regarded as a gem under all the world, and it is a law that does not shift from the will of the human being. "Like the gentleman, Wen Qiru jade. Therefore, the gentleman is also expensive", the gentle jade is also the description of white jade or sheep fat white jade. The ancients' various expositions about jade with "five virtues", "nine virtues" and "eleven morals" have raised the humanistic connotation of jade to a sacred level. Among many jade and jade varieties, it can be said that it is extremely Outstanding "Chinese characteristics."
V. Market demand
Fluctuation in market demand is one of the important factors affecting the value of Hetian jade. Excessive market demand will lead to snapping up and hoarding jade; merchants chasing up and down, combined with the jade fever in recent years, will cause jade prices to skyrocket in a certain period. Higher prices will increase the amount of jade material extracted, as mines can increase production by increasing equipment and investment. However, the distribution of Yangzhiyu in various jade mines is scarce, especially the sub-jade is washed and shrouded with floods, and the distribution is sparse. The increase in production in recent years is very limited, which leads to the important reason for the price of sheep fat jade, especially Ziyu.
Sixth, small size
Small in size, high in value, and easy to carry and collect, this is also a factor in the high value of sheep fat jade. A large amount of monetary value is highly concentrated on a small jade, which is convenient for collectors to save and transfer a large number of assets in person, at any time and in secret, and to preserve the value for a long time. Since ancient times, gold and silver treasures have basically played the above roles. . This is also an important reason why the wealthy and wealthy people invest in jewelry and jade.
