The world is jade, Yangzhou workers. The industry rumors, Suzhou engraving, the overall level, slightly inferior to Yangzhou, but also relative, no shortage of wonderful. Stone master forwards, carved jade article, everyone together, learn to appreciate.
From the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Suzhou is the most famous jade processing center in China. It is said that the work of Yangzhou was too detailed, mostly hollow sculptures. Qianlong did not like it because the precious jade was cut off in vain. Qianlong believed that this hurt the god of jade. Since Qianlong liked the carvings in Suzhou, Suzhou has replaced Yangzhou since then and has become the most important processing center for jade carving.
In fact, the jade carving center is generally consistent with the economic center. Because the carved things can be sold, the jade workers have food, especially the fine jade carvings, which are high-end luxury goods. Their prices are so straightforward and heart-rending in any age. Collectible jade carvings can be sold, which needs to be in highly developed areas. At present, the psychology of jade carving in the north is of course in Beijing, and the center of the south is in Shanghai. Because of the historical relationship between Suzhou and Yangzhou, the jade carving industry is still quite developed. I have been to Suzhou several times. I know a little bit. I don’t dare to talk nonsense elsewhere. I wrote about how to find jade in Suzhou today.
First, the processing of jade
Although the Suzhou jade carving industry is not as good as it used to be, there are still 20,000 practitioners, and there are countless jade carving workshops in Suzhou. If you have a single job, there are three or five people, and there are more than a dozen people. I will write about the places where these jade carving workshops are relatively concentrated.
(1) Guangfu Town (low end)
Guangfu Town is 20 kilometers west of Suzhou City. There is a 300-meter-long street in the center of the town. Both sides are jade carving workshops.
The jade processed here is basically low-grade mountain materials, jade and other stone materials in Qinghai. From large ornaments to small pendants, in the shops on both sides, the products are similar, very similar, and the carving is rough. Few FITs come to buy jade, mainly wholesalers, and eventually flow to all parts of the country, facing the low-end city.
In Guangfu, large chunks of mountain materials abound, and the cut corners are thrown on the ground of the workshop. It is not worth any money. Some friends who like to grind their own jade, come here to find some money. Raw materials, do-it-yourself carving, they are happy, this is also a way to play jade. But I want to find a good jade here, it is unlikely, a little decent jade, the price will be nowhere.
(2) Xiang Wang Nong (middle end)
Xiang Wang is in Suzhou City and is a slip road on Shiquan Street. Xiang Wang is a big fight, there is also a support in it, there is a lot of jade workshops.
As soon as I walked into the strip, the sound of high-speed electric drills in my ears was everywhere, everywhere, and I couldn’t find out how many jade carving workshops there were in the middle of the road. It was everywhere. At that time, the level of jade carving workshops was uneven, and the level was quite high and poor. However, in general, it was much higher than Guangfu. The raw materials were mainly low-grade seeds and grinding materials. Part of the good.
Xiang Wang Nong is a place that Taoyu people like, especially when they open a shop to do business, from low-end to high-end, all kinds of subjects, everything, but also often come to Amoy to have the opportunity to meet the satisfaction, because there are many people who open the store to collect jade There are not a few finished jade in the general workshop.
(3) Studio
I have never been to a famous studio, especially a master-level studio. I don’t know what is called jade, what is jade carving. The best place to see jade is the studio. There are no national masters in Suzhou, but the level of several famous studios is quite good. I don't know much about the famous studios in Suzhou. I introduced several of the ones I have been to.

He graduated from Suzhou Arts and Crafts College in 1989 and entered Suzhou Jade Carving Factory in the same year, specializing in jade carving and design.
