How is “South Red” named?

According to the traditional saying of jade articles, there is no such name as South Red Agate. Red agate is classified into two types: east red agate and western red agate.

南红玛瑙

Donghong refers to the red agate obtained by adding aroma to the agate.

Donghong refers to the red agate obtained by adding aroma to the agate.

West red agate is a red agate that naturally appears red without any artificial color enhancement.

Just because the red agate mined in the Baoshan area of ​​Yunnan in the past 30 years is called Yunnan red agate, referred to as Nanhong, it is now also known as the name of South Red Agate.

The exact location of the source of the South Red Agate is in the Baoshan area of ​​Yunnan. This is described in detail in Xu Xiake's travels. The source of Yunnan's mines is said to have stopped mining during the Qinglong period. However, in the early 1980s, Beijing Jewelry Import and Export Corporation found the previous mines and invested in mining according to the records in Xu Xiake's travels. Mining was not stopped until the mid-1980s.

The agate produced in Yunnan's mines is usually divided into several categories:

1. Brocade red agate - refers to all red agates that are red and not mottled.

2. Brocade agate - refers to red agate with two or more colors.

3. Red and white agate - is a red agate with red and white as the main color.

4. Water agate.

In the above categories, there are also tangled wires. The proportion of brocade red agate in Yunnan is extremely low, most of which are brocade agate. Moreover, there are many cracks due to the intermediate impurities, and the value of utilization is not high. According to the quality, quantity and source of goods of the current South Red Agate Beads, there should be a source of minerals at the junction of Gansu and Sichuan, but the source of the mine has not been verified. The proportion of brocade red agate in Gansu is higher and there are fewer splits. It’s just that most of the world’s remains are difficult to get large chunks of raw materials.

South Red's use

Usually the use of Nanhong is divided into three categories. 1. Medicine (for agate in Tibetan medicine) 2. Processed into beads for wearing. 3. Made of carved pieces.

The age of the beads spans a lot. It is said that from the Warring States to the Ming and Qing Dynasties (the information provided by Qi Xuezhai brothers, there are photos in the books published in the Yunnan Museum, which prove that the tombs of the South Red Agates have been unearthed in the tombs of the Warring States.) Some of the shapes of the beads are in the Tang and Song Dynasties. The shape of the West Asian beads has a similar shape.

The shape of the beads is olive-shaped, and the shape of the melon is divided into three types: pumpkin (cucumber, melon, long melon). (mostly oblate, rarely visible, it is believed to be related to the processing technique.) The external image is first punched and then ground into a column and then cut. The main use of the existing beads is Tibetan.

There are three ways to wear it. One is a string of necklaces, one is a turtle-shaped large piece and then sewed on a large piece of cloth and draped over the back, and the string is on the beads as a bead and a tee. Because the bright color of Nanhong makes many Tibetans think it can be used as a substitute for coral.

Most of the existing beads come from a county where Ganchuan is handed over. The Tibetans there are wearing Nanhong as the beauty. The number of early beads is very large. In the past ten years, the number of people who love Nanhong has increased, and the market demand has increased, resulting in depletion of resources. Now the origin is very small.

In the past, the beads were sold to Nepal and India through Tibet. Now, due to the high domestic prices, it has also caused a return. It can be said that Nanhong's resources are much less than jade.

The method of selecting beads is usually color > shape > size, and then compare them in turn. colour,

The persimmon yellow in Jinhong is better than the raw watermelon. shape. Gualing "beads" olives" flaky beads. Dazhu>Xiaozhu. South Hongzhu has entered the mainland market in a large number of times for nearly a decade. Because of the bright colors, it is easy to get started, there are very few fakes, and the rare materials have attracted many people's love, and the price is growing.

The purpose of the beads is mainly to make necklaces and bracelets. According to my experience, the South Red Bracelet can be used in three ways.

1. Solid color. That is to say, all of them are made of Nanhong without using other beads. This can maximize the beauty of Nanhong. Requires top-grade South Red Pearl (no color difference between beads).

2. A coconut shell or a rosewood piece is placed between the South Red Beads, and the red is divided into red areas to compensate for the color difference between the beads.

3. More treasures. Combining with multiple materials can have unexpected effects.

Comfort level. Balls > Melon Pearls > Flaky Beads > Olive Beads. Beaded bracelets in the beads > fine beads > flat beads.

Necklaces are better with a variety of materials.

The maintenance method of South Red Beads is also very simple. You can wear and play as much as you can with jade. Compared with corals, South Red Pearls will not smear even when they sweat for a long time in the summer. It is more and more bright.

The choice is to pay special attention to the fact that the ball is more expensive and sometimes there will be old material after grinding, just because the technology is not high can still be seen. There are also Xinnan Red Beads in Yunnan. The difference between it and the old South Red Pearl is also very easy to distinguish.

Carvings

The earliest period was the late Liaojin to the Qing Dynasty. The Ming and Qing Dynasties are divided into pendants, ornaments, flower pieces, head lice, rings, beads, buttons, hat tops and beads.

This kind of thing is mainly based on Zhongyuan. Less beads. According to the materials used and the way of polishing, the pendants and ornaments of the beads are officially created and made by the people. The materials used for pendants and ornaments are mainly red and white agate. Others are mainly brocade agate and brocade agate. The four pieces of the South Red Agate ornaments in the Forbidden City are all red and white agate except for one piece of water.
