Recently, CCTV's "Economic Half Hours" reported that Guangdong Jieyang has undertaken 80% of high-grade jade raw materials produced in Myanmar. When the market is hot, Jieyang jade's annual processing and sales volume accounts for more than 85% of the country's high-end jade jade products, and employs more than 100,000 people. But this year, the “shampling tide†of Jieyang jade industry is coming. Although it is the golden time to open a door to do business, but the door of a shop is closed, many counters are also people and goods, every step to see the stalls with "counter sublet", "million cabinet The word "rental". Lin Hejun, president of Guangdong Jieyang Jade Industry Association, said that in recent months, two or three hundred business operators have cancelled business licenses and tax registration.
Stone "mad" head sharply reduced
So jade, what about other stone situations?
Not long ago, the reporters of several national stone interviews interviewed by reporters on different occasions said almost in unison that this year, the four national stones and their handicrafts such as Qingtianshi, Balinshi, Shoushanshi and Changhuashi were all unsalable. An operator told reporters that there is an exaggeration in the industry. "Three years without opening, and opening for three years." Previously, his stone carving hall said that there were four or five single transactions each year, but this year has reached the end of November. Haven't received a customer yet. Looking at the exquisite craftsmanship of the house, he was worried all day. If this continues, the monthly rent of more than 70,000 stone carving halls will be a problem.
On December 1st, Han Changyu, president of the Shenzhen Collectors Association, told this reporter that the singularity of Lingbi, Taihu Stone, Gobi Stone, Yellow Wax and other strange stones in the past few years has also reversed since last year. Nowadays, it is not only difficult to see the people who are busy looking for stones in the river, but even those active stone speculators seem to have evaporated. Han Changyi, who used to be known as the Kistler Collection, has already turned his collection perspective to ancient ceramics.
Let's review the "madness" of the stones. The price of Qingtianshi has increased by more than 1,000 times in ten years. The Qingtian County, Qingtian County, Zhejiang Province, has also sent a stone for a set of villa news; in the early 21st century, Tractor yellow wax stone only sells 300 yuan. After the yellow wax stone was renamed Huanglongyu in 2006, the value has doubled. In 2011, at the Pan-Asian Kistler Expo in Kunming, a piece of 16-paper-opened Huanglongyu with a thickness of less than 5 cm, despite the price 1.2 million yuan, but still being looted by buyers; since 2010, the price of jade has risen at an alarming rate. In the past, some jadeites that could be bought for thousands of dollars have soared to hundreds of thousands of yuan...
Think about the "arrogant rush" of stone prices for more than ten years, and look at the "one mile and a thousand miles" of the current stone market. This reporter really has a feeling of "like the world."
Stone "mad" is no longer, what is the reason? The analysis of the industry can be summarized as follows: First, the macroeconomic downturn. Second, the four national stone is affected by the Laoshi stone. Laos stone is no less inferior to the four national stones, regardless of its color and pattern, and the price is far lower than the four national stones. The price bubble of so-called rare high-spirited stone has begun to stand out. Third, even the four major national stone crafts are rarely asked, and those so-called strange stones that rely on imagination to give the image can still be good?
Why is the stone "mad"?
However, under the overall tone of "madness", the stone market still has a bright color.
In May of this year, China Guardian launched a special feature of “Qingning – Jinshi Carving Artâ€. Special exhibitions such as Yugang, Qiansong, Chen Hongshou, Zhao Zhiqian, Qi Baishi and other famous masterpieces were eye-catching, with a total turnover of 12.76 million yuan and a turnover rate of 72.46%. Among them, the Qing Dynasty sealer Ding Jingyi Qingtian Shi seal was sold for 2.53 million yuan, the Qing Dynasty sealer Chen Yuzhong, a Qingtian stone seal for 1.265 million yuan, the Qing Dynasty sealer Chen Hongshou, a Qingtian stone seal for 10.922 million yuan. On June 7th, Beijing time to launch "Fang Yuan Qian Kun - National Stone Carving Special Session". Qi Baishi, Wang Fuzhen, Deng Sanmu, Han Dengan and other famous masterpieces gathered by the special audience were sought after by buyers. The turnover was 10.28 million yuan and the turnover rate was 60.1%. Among them, Qi Baishi was a Shoushan stone seal engraved by Mei Lanfang for 920,000 yuan.
According to media reports, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games adopted "China India" as the emblem, and pushed the ancient niche art of engraving to the public, which enabled the art of engraving to shine in front of the Chinese people and the world. Since 2012, the art market for seal carving has steadily increased. Since the beginning of this year, the price of famous stone carvings has risen by more than 50%. In the overall sluggish situation of the painting and calligraphy market, the figures of the stone seal collectors are surging in the market, and the auction houses are asking for the collection of stone carvings.
The same stone, in the same market environment, the market contrast is so strong. It seems that the reason why the overall "madness" of the stone is no longer is far from being as simple as "the macroeconomic downturn and the impact of the Laoshi stone."
Why is the stone "mad"? The industry generally believes that the four national stone, jade, all kinds of strange stones are resource collections. Its non-replicability and scarcity determine its appreciation potential, and the annual price increase of 15% to 30% should be a reasonable range. However, the stone buyers took the opportunity to frantically speculate, which eventually led to the fever of the stone until it went crazy. For the phenomenon of "crazy stone", well-known collector Ma Weidu has publicly stated: "This society must be ill." In his view, the stone collection has lost its original meaning. "Frenzy in economic interests, some people collect stones. Into the irrational ambiguity, completely forget the cultural pursuit of stone investment."
Culture is the "magic stick"
Speaking of cultural pursuits, the reporter noticed that the various stones circulating in the market are nothing more than three forms: one is the original stone, the other is the stone craft carving, and the third is the famous stone carving. The stone market since this year shows that the price of the original stone has plummeted, the craft carvings are all unsalable, and the famous stone carvings are bullish. According to Mr. Ma Weidu’s “completely forgetting the cultural pursuit of stone investmentâ€, it is easy to understand the price of rough diamonds that rely on speculation for scarcity, but why are the craft carvings carved by master craftsmen completely unsalable? Do these craft carvings have no cultural pursuits?
The reporter may wish to discuss the Qingtian stone carving as an example. According to historical records, Qingtian stone carving originated in the Six Dynasties. Since then, after the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China, the craftsmanship has become more sophisticated. Qingtian stone carving pays attention to the material and art, because of the color, the stone, the blank, the carving, the sealing wax, the retouching and other processes, especially the carving technique, and the round carving, the carving, the high bas-relief and the line engraving.
The Qingtian stone carving developed into the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and a branch appeared. An accidental opportunity, Wen Peng, the son of Wen Zhengming, one of the "four great talents of the Jiangnan" in the Ming Dynasty, was able to show his talents on the frozen stone in Qingtian. From then on, the seal was limited to the hard gold, silver, copper, jade, ivory rhinoceros, engraving limited to the craftsman era of the craftsman, and entered a new era of literati, and the Qingtian stone carving also had the "wings" of craft stone carving and engraving art.
However, the "wings" are different from the "innate genes", and they are doomed from the beginning.
The reporter was responsible for the art and craft news for many years, and the masterpieces of the national masters of arts and crafts are numerous. The beauty is beautiful, and the technique is also fine. However, the final conclusion is that it is more than the shape of the shape, and the carvings are more skillful, still can only be regarded as crafts, and have nothing to do with art. The so-called fine and non-fine, only the carving skills are high. Most of the engravers are from apprenticeships, and the level of education is not high. The theme of the carvings is flower and bird worm, cabbage monkey deer and the like. Even the characters in the landscape are involved in the competition. The martial arts are such as Feng Houxiang and Jinbao Lucky. There is such a joke in the workshop: After many master craftsmen have carved out their works, they often worry about the name of this work. This joke may reflect the cultural content of stone carving crafts.
In the opinion of the reporter, engraving is the most difficult art in Chinese art, and its cultural content is also the highest. Compared with painting and calligraphy, engraving is more niche, and its creation and appreciation threshold is higher. Engraving and appreciators not only need to have a profound cultivation in calligraphy, history, literature, aesthetics, and painting, but also have a solid knowledge of ancient philology and pedigree. In addition to the cultural content of the seal itself, if it is combined with the artist's profound artistic attainments, his position in art history, and the cultural influence of the seal holders, the value of the historical materials is even more difficult for Qingtian stone carving crafts. Comparable.
Any art has the five worlds of learning, meeting, precision, communication and transformation. In the realm of the situation, the person is both powerful (exquisite skill), talent (excellent talent), daring (innovation of guts), and knowledge (extraordinary knowledge). The Qingtian stone carving crafts are both fine and non-precision. The crafts of the craftsmanship are only in the "fine" environment, and the "communication" and "chemical" are not available. The author has the "power" and "caliber". I am afraid that it is difficult for stone carving crafts to enter the eyes of art collectors, and why is it difficult to see stone sculptures on the auction floor? With the consideration of learning, meeting, precision, communication, chemistry, strength, talent, daring and literacy, the cultural content of stone carving crafts and engraving art can be described as unrecognizable. And this is precisely because of the same stone, in the same market conditions, stone carving handicrafts are all slow-moving and the price of famous stone carvings is generally rising.
The level of cultural content determines the level of value. The “Mansheng pot†in the teapot is a testimony. Also as a craft, the carving technique of "Mansheng Pot" is no better than the clay pots of many craftsmen. However, due to the cultural intervention of Chen Hongshou (Word Mansheng), a famous engraving and poet, the humanistic feelings and artistic tastes, the “Mansheng pot†has become a classic in the teapot, and its value is not a general master of beauty. The works are comparable. Therefore, culture is the magic wand of the stone in the fairy hand in the mythical story.
