If one received an old jade in the countryside, the following were some aspects to consider: ** 1. Appraisal ** 1. ** Hardness Test ** - You can use common items such as keys to identify it. Materials with low hardness, such as marble, would be scratched with a key, but if it was old jade with higher hardness, such as Hetian jade, the key would not be scratched. 2. ** Touch Identification ** - If the old jade was of better quality, when he touched it, he would feel as if oil was being pushed away. At the same time, there would be a slight resistance, unlike the dryness of ordinary stones. 3. ** Feeling heavy ** - For example, old jade such as Hetian jade seeds would feel a little heavy in the hand, while ordinary stones would seem a little floating. 4. ** Light up and observe ** - Natural old jades would have a natural structure when they were lit up, and they looked very comfortable. Man-made jades might not have any structure, and there might even be bubbles. ** 2. Value Assessment ** 1. ** Historical period ** - If it was jade from before the Han Dynasty (high ancient jade), it usually had a higher value. High ancient jade was the source of China jade culture. High ancient jade of reliable age could easily fetch millions of yuan in auctions. It was highly valued by powerful collectors, foreign museum, and senior collectors. 2. ** Collection criteria ** - Its collection value could be evaluated from the standards of fine workmanship, excellent quality, exquisite color, and strange shape. The appreciation of old jade ware should pay more attention to its cultural content and historical value, such as whether its knife skills were exquisite, whether the decorative patterns were simple, and so on. 3. ** Jade Material Type ** - For nephrite, Hetian jade was mainly composed of calcium, calcium, magnetite, and iron. Its Mohs hardness was 6 - 6.5 degrees, and its refraction index was about 1.61 - 1.63. It had a greasy luster. For jadeite (such as jadeite), its composition was aluminum, and its hardness was 6.5 - 7 degrees. Its refraction index was 1.66 - 1.68. It had a glass luster. The value and popularity of different types of jade in the market were also different. For example, jade was more valuable in the jewelry market. In 2024, some jade beads were sold for a sky-high price of 214 million Hong Kong dollars. However, it should be noted that in China, it was illegal to buy and sell unearthed cultural relics privately. If you suspected that the old jade ware you received might be unearthed cultural relics, you should contact the relevant cultural relics department for identification and handling in time.

Old houses in rural areas were closely related to land ownership. Land ownership was a complete "certification" of the "identity" of rural homesteads and an "authorization" of farmers 'land rights and interests. With the advancement of the confirmation of rights, old rural houses (especially vacant and dilapidated) may face clean-up or reallocation, which may affect their future asset value. In the past, although farmers had homesteads, the value of homesteads was not fully released at the legal and economic level, and they could not carry out loans, collaterals, and free transactions. After confirming the rights, in theory, farmers could rely on the certificate of confirmation to circulate or mortgage their homesteads more confidently to circulate funds. However, in practice, the circulation and mortgage of homesteads were still restricted. For example, the land circulation policy was not clear, and the contradiction between the right to use and ownership was not clarified. As a result, homesteads were like "cakes that could be seen but not eaten". The progress of the confirmation of rights in some remote areas was slow. The reasons included the complicated geographical conditions of rural areas (especially in mountainous areas and remote villages, where it was difficult to unify land data), the large number of migrant workers, and the many concerns of farmers (worried that the old homesteads would be cleared and redistributed, causing them to be "homeless", afraid of losing their "roots" in the countryside, etc.). If the confirmation of rights really landed, the old houses in the countryside would usher in a turning point. The homesteads with the certificate of ownership had the basic conditions for circulation and mortgage, which could attract funds to flow into the countryside, turn the old houses into treasures, drive the development of the rural economy, and also attract more young people to stay in the countryside to help the rural rejuvenation.
In the old market in the countryside, shaving had a unique scene and tradition. In the past, the barbers often carried a " picker " on their backs and worked in the corners of the market. They did not need to attract business and had their own group of regular customers, mostly old people. The fee was relatively cheap, and a haircut might only cost two yuan. In terms of tools and facilities, the hairdresser carried tools with a pole. On one end were razors, combs, combs, and other hairdressing tools. On the other end was a large yellow copper basin with a fire stove for washing hair. The water was often soap, which looked unsanitary. In the old market, in addition to shaving their heads, the shavers also mastered a variety of skills, such as combing, weaving, shaving, shaving, pinching, holding, hammering, pressing, pulling, cutting, picking, dyeing, connecting, living, relaxing, repairing, etc. The skilled masters were good at taking ears, setting bones, and massaging. Moreover, the hairdresser had its own rules and jargon. One could not drink alcohol or eat stimulative food such as onions and garlic before shaving. When shaving a monk's head, one should shave his head from front to back, and when shaving a Taoist priest's head, one should shave his head from back to front. Moreover, when shaving a monk's head, one should say," Please go down the mountain and shave your hair." Shaving a bald head was called beating old foam, shaving long hair was called grass, and shaving beard was called waxing. In the 1960s and 1970s, it was very common to shave one's head in rural markets. At that time, people called haircutting or pushing hair, and older farmers generally liked to shave their heads. The old master chatted with people while shaving his head. He would even look away from the head that was being shaved, but it was rare for his scalp to be cut off. For children, they would usually use a hand-made hair clipper to push the small crew cut, but the clipper might clip their hair. In the past, in the countryside, the business of the hairdresser used to be very prosperous. For example, during the twelfth lunar month, because of the custom of " if you have money or not, shave your head for the New Year," the hairdresser would be busy from morning till night. However, with the rise of barbershops, the business of barbers became more and more difficult.
" Old jade " was a relatively broad concept. It usually referred to jade that was older, and its focus was on the age of the jade. For example, antique old jade might cover various types of jade, including Xiuyu, Hetian jade, and other different types of ancient jade. These jade may have a certain historical and cultural value due to their age. Old Pit Jade had a different meaning. Taking Hetian jade as an example, from the perspective of mining time, the jade mined in the old Kuangqu is the old pit jade; from the perspective of composition and other characteristics, the Qinghai material with higher tremolite content and closer to the traditional Hetian jade can be called the old pit material. Among the jadeites, the jadeite gravel that had been mechanically weathered and transported to the river valley and riverbed was called "old pit jade" or "young material". In general," old jade " emphasized the age of the jade, while " old pit jade " focused more on the source of the jade or the specific composition and formation conditions.

There was also the barefoot doctor training class in the rural areas in the late 1950s, which showed the importance of health care at that time. Although the medical facilities were limited, the efforts of volunteers improved the health conditions in the rural areas.
The following is an example of a novel about a 48-year-old bachelor in a rural area: "The Rebirth of a Single Uncle." In a remote mountain village, there was a 48-year-old bachelor named Zhao Laosi. He was tall and sturdy, and the years had carved deep wrinkles on his face. Those were the traces of years of wind, sun, and hardship. Zhao Laosi's house was a dilapidated small courtyard with earthen walls and tiles. A few chickens were pecking at food in the courtyard. He lived alone. His parents died early, and he had no siblings to help him. When he was young, his family was so poor that no girl was willing to marry him. As he grew older, the matter of marrying a wife was like an unreachable dream, gradually buried deep in his heart. He relied on a few acres of barren land to make a living, working at sunrise and resting at sunset every day. Everyone in the village thought that he would be like this for the rest of his life, alone until he grew old. However, Zhao Laosi was unwilling. This year, a group of poverty relief teams came to the village. They saw Zhao Laosi's situation and were determined to help him change his life. The poverty relief team members brought new crop seeds to Zhao Laosi and taught him scientific planting methods. Zhao Laosi looked at those seeds as if he saw new hope. Every day, he took care of the crops in the field, watering, fertilizing, weeding, and even more carefully than taking care of himself. Slowly, strong crops grew in his fields, and the harvest was much better than before. With some savings, Zhao Laosi raised a few pigs under the suggestion of the villagers.

The old jade was a type of jade. Its material was a type of metamorphosed rock, and its main component was a meta-mineral. After experiencing high temperature and high pressure, it formed a unique jade structure. Observing it under a microscope, it showed a fiber structure, which made it have high toughness and hardness. At the same time, the material contained a certain amount of moisture and grease. These moisture and grease formed a protective film on the surface of the jade, giving it an oily appearance and feel. The color of the Old Oil Jade was unique. It was a deep and full green. This green was different from the common emerald green or tender green. It was more like a deep green that had been baptized by time. It had a greasy feeling and would emit a greasy luster under the sun. The color was generally translucent. The texture was warm and delicate, and it felt smooth. The novel "Listening to the Rain in Green Bamboo and Watching the Egrets" is equally wonderful. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
In jadeite, the fine texture of the meat was an important characteristic, but it was not the only criterion. Judging from the internal structure of the jade, it meant that the crystal particles were fine and tightly bonded to each other, which usually showed a delicate state of meat. For example, the crystal particles had small gaps and a compact structure, which often made the texture of the jade look more delicate. This was also one of the characteristics of the old jade. However, to determine whether the jade was old or not, other factors needed to be combined. For example, the clarity of the jade was also an important consideration. The clarity of the old kind of jade was often better. The content of impurities in the jade would also affect the judgment of the old kind of jade. The jadeite content of the old kind of jade reached the theoretical content, and there were very few impurities. If there were more impurities, it would make the jade become new. Even if the meat was fine, it was difficult to judge the old kind of jade when there were too many impurities. In addition, from the broad concept of jade species, even if there were cases where the meat was fine and delicate in the species named after certain characteristics such as ice species and glutinous species, it might not be determined to be old due to other factors when comparing within the species.
