Haowu jade wareJade ware was made from natural jade. China had jade artifacts as early as 8,000 years ago, and they had continued to this day. Ancient jade was a unique artifact of Chinese civilization. It was distinguished by the way it was processed. Those made by grinding were ancient jade, while those made by modern technology such as electric diamond tools were called new jade.
In terms of value, as long as the jade before the Han Dynasty (high ancient jade) was reliable, it could easily be sold for millions of yuan. It was the first choice of powerful collectors because it was a scarce resource, rich in historical and cultural information, and had high historical value and cultural relic value. It was highly valued by foreign museum and senior collectors.
In terms of identification, there were three common methods of identification: one was to use a harder object (such as a key) to scratch the hard jade (such as Hetian jade). The second was to touch it with the hand. The jade would have a warm feeling. When the hand pushed, it would be like oil being pushed away and there would be slight resistance. The stone was dry, and the high-grade jade would have a sense of weight when weighed. The third was to observe with a light. Natural jade had a natural structure, while artificial jade might have no structure or even bubbles.
In modern times, the definition of jade was broad, including Hetian jade, emerald, agate, Dushan jade, Shoushan stone, and so on. Jadeite was a typical representative of jadeite. Its main component was aluminum metameta Hetian jade was the representative of nephrite. Its main component was calcium, calcium, magnetite, and iron.

Runhong jade wareRed jade may involve two aspects. On the one hand, from the perspective of maintenance, such as the red jade bracelet, its color turning red is related to the iron element contained in the jade. The iron element will be more red when exposed to air and sunlight for a long time. In order to keep it red, you should pay attention to wearing it regularly (body temperature, grease, and sweat can form a protective film), avoid collisions, avoid long-term exposure to the sun, and wipe it regularly. On the other hand, it might involve business operations, such as the jade business department of Runhongju NanNing City. In the Nanjing Museum,"Jade Run China" exhibition, you can also see a variety of jade articles such as Hongshan culture.

Yaolin jade wareThere were many things related to jade in Yaolin Town of Tonglu. In Fangjiazhou, Panlian Village, Yaolin Town, a jade processing plant from five to six thousand years ago was discovered. Stone tools such as stone adzes were unearthed, as well as jade pieces such as jade pieces.

Wangye jade wareThe King of Liang Zhuang of the Ming Dynasty was the ninth son of Zhu Gaochi of Emperor Renzong of the Ming Dynasty. The types and quantities of burial objects in his tomb were extremely rich. There were more than 5300 cultural relics unearthed, including jade articles used by him. The large number of cultural relics unearthed from the tomb of King Liangzhuang was the most significant archaeological discovery of the Ming Dynasty after Dingling. There might also be gold ingots brought back by Zheng He from the West.
In addition, in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang believed that "the world is so big that it is necessary to build a screen." From Zhu Di onwards, the power of the princes was reduced, but the emperor gave them a generous material life to appease them. This was reflected in the various rich and luxurious gold ornaments and gold and silver utensils unearthed from the tomb of the vassal king. Although there was no explicit mention of the prince's jade ware, it could be speculated that the prince lived a luxurious life. Jade ware may also be a manifestation of his wealth and status.

Ai jade wareIn the name of ancient jade, it could be regarded as a special shape of "wall".

Bargaining for jade wareThere were many techniques to haggle in the sale of jade:
- ** Understand relevant knowledge and market prices **:
- Learn as much as possible about jade, including its appearance, color, and clarity, so that you can better evaluate the value of jade and propose a reasonable price.
- Pay attention to the jade market and understand the latest price changes. If the market is oversupplied, there is more room for bargaining; if the supply exceeds the demand, a higher price may be accepted.
- ** negotiation skills **:
- Multiple rounds of inquiry: You can mix the materials with high prices and low prices (including your target jade) and discuss them together. You can see the discounts given by the merchants. This way, you can have more initiative.
- Don't show off your wealth: avoid letting the merchants think that you can raise the price.
- [Diversion: Divert the merchant's attention so that he doesn't notice the strong desire for the target jade.]
- Keep the bottom line: Clear the highest price you can accept and not be easily persuaded by the merchants to raise the budget.
- [Careful observation: If you carefully examine the jade, you may find some factors that affect the price so that you can bargain.]
- Don't be shy: be decisive when expressing your willingness to buy and when bargaining.
- Decisive decision: When the price reaches your psychological expectations, you must make a decisive decision to buy.
- <<Reasonably communicate>: Maintain calmness and rationality, emphasize your own needs and give a reasonable reason not to buy in a timely manner, increasing the possibility of success in bargaining.>
- First-round quote: Don't offer a discount or even a 30% discount in the first round. This may cause the jade merchant to change the bidding strategy. You should compare the rough evaluation of the jade's value with the merchant's offer and negotiate reasonably.
- Bargaining in moderation: Give the merchant a certain margin of profit, especially if you want to buy again. Don't bargain too hard the first time.
However, it was also important to note that some situations might not be suitable for bargaining, such as encountering a seller with a fixed price, or a rare and precious jade whose value had been widely recognized.

Xingyue jade wareThe Star Moon Jade ware has many aspects to it. The following is a detailed introduction.
First of all, the Star Moon Bodhi had the elegance of natural jade. The Star Moon Bodhi was the fruit of a precious tree species in South Asia. The yellow Star Moon Bodhi was warm and lustrous like chicken oil. It was hard and tough, and had a natural pearl-like three-dimensional feeling. The patterns were rich and delicate, and it could be used to make a variety of jewelry and crafts in various shapes.
Furthermore, there was in-depth research on the characteristics, identification methods, and market value of Star Moon Jade. Its color was often light blue, light yellow, and gray, which was different from the White Star Moon Bodhi in color. The White Star Moon Bodhi was mainly white, sometimes with light yellow, light gray, or light pink spots.
In addition, there were different situations in the market for Star Moon Bodhi Stone. There were raw jade stones and problematic seeds, such as immature seeds or mixed tree seeds that had been soaked in medicine. It was a normal phenomenon for Star Moon Bodhi to become solid. From the perspective of cell biology, it was a cell disease. In the middle stage, most of the Star Moon would become solid, especially in the south where the humidity and temperature were higher. In the later stage, it would appear moist and yellow, and the seeds that did not reach the maturity level might always pursue the sense of penetration or have problems such as large color difference and no color change in the later stage. In the end, the ultimate dream of playing Star Moon was to achieve the effect of a bronze gold base with ice flower broken patterns.
At the same time, the Star Moon Bodhi and jade materials in the market needed to pay attention to the identification of real and fake Star Moon Jade, as well as how to obtain better value in the market.
