5 thoughts on “What is Xiuyu?”

  1. Xiuyu is a kind of jade, mainly composed of a mineral called serpentine. Because it is mainly produced in Xiuyan County, Liaoning Province, it is called Xiuyu, which is the legal name of the national standard. The origin may not be entirely in Xiuyan County, Liaoning Province

    for example, serpentine jade from Jiuquan and serpentine jade from Korea belong to Xiuyu. The southern jade produced in Guangdong is mainly composed of serpentine. The official identification certificate can only be called serpentine jade, and can not be written as southern jade

    generally speaking, Xiuyu can be divided into two categories. The first category is called Laoyu. This kind of jade is relatively light in color, and the light yellow is a little white. It is a relatively precious jade. The second type is Xiuyan Jasper, like Hotan Jasper. Both of them are green in color. Among Xiuyan Jasper, the green is darker, the transparent and flawless Jasper can be said to be more precious

    jade grade

    1. The super grade is dark green jade. The appearance of this color of jade is a kind of wax. It may be a little old at first, but after a long time, it will become more and more smooth and oily. In addition, the transparency of this kind of jade is relatively good. There are no impurities and cracks in the internal components, and the texture is smooth and fine

    2. The first-class jade is green. Although this kind of jade is relatively smooth and has good oil property, it is slightly inferior to the super grade jade

    3. The second-class jade is yellow green or some other colors with uniform distribution. Most of this kind of jade is translucent to slightly transparent. There is also a layer of waxy material on the surface, but its internal components contain a small amount of impurities

    4, the third class is some uneven color distribution. This kind of jade presents a kind of glass luster, a little transparent, and although there are no cracks, there are also obvious impurities in the internal components

    as for the excellent quality of tremolite jade in Xiuyan Jade, it was clearly stated in Tiangong Kaiwu written by song Yingxing at the end of the Ming Dynasty: "there is a thousand year old Pu in Taiwei mountain in the northwest of North Korea, and there is lanolin jade in it, which is no different from the beautiful ones in Congling." Xiuyan Jade is considered as high-quality as lanolin jade in Xinjiang. And what experts want to "complain for their grievances" is this high-quality Xiuyan tremolite jade

    archaeologists have found the oldest known jade earrings and exquisite jade rings in the world in the Xinglongwa cultural site, which indicates that the ancestors of Xinglongwa 8000 years ago have mastered the technology of identifying and processing Xiuyan Jade, and created a precedent for carving and using jade in the Neolithic Age in China

  4. Xiuyan Jade is one of the four famous jade in Chinese history. It is named after Xiuyan in Liaoning Province. Xiuyan Jade can be divided into two categories in a broad sense. One is old jade, which belongs to tremolite jade. Its texture is simple, dignified, and its color is light yellow to white. It is a kind of precious rough jade; The other type is Xiuyan Jasper, which is solid and warm, mostly green to lake green, of which dark green, transparent and less flawed are treasures-- Quoted from Baidu Encyclopedia

    Xiuyu is the earliest and longest developed jade species in the history of jade culture. In essence, it is not a kind of jade. There are many classification methods. It is not a single kind of jade. In ancient times, there were many finished products. There is always a piece of jade on the body of many rich people to represent their status. Jade is tough, bright and pure. It is a natural carving material. Many skilled craftsmen have created different processes according to the characteristics of jade and many carving masters have emerged, Xiuyan Jade often has an extremely beautiful "ingenious color"

    the imitation of Xiuyu is difficult and requires complicated technological process. There are few imitations of this kind of jewelry in the market, and there is a lower risk compared with other jade. Pure jade will have some white flocs inside. If it is transparent and free of impurities, it is a imitation

    most of the imitations are made of glass. There are some bubbles in the glass, which can be clearly seen in the sun. The density of Xiuyu is relatively large, and you can feel the pressing feeling when you put it on your hand. The imitation is relatively light, but the weight difference is difficult for ordinary people to feel, and it needs a lot of practice to feel the difference. The friction between the two finished jade products is very smooth. If it is a glass product, it will have an astringent feeling

  5. Xiuyu is an important member of the Chinese gemstone family. It is the earliest jade species discovered and used, and has been valued by all dynasties. It can be called "the light of ancient jade and the treasure of ten thousand years"
