The jade market continues to overheat

Since the beginning of this year, the jade art market with Shoushan Stone, Hetian Jade, and Jadeite as "leaderships" has continued its crazy upswing last year, and prices have been refreshed. Industry insiders and experts pointed out that with the injection of large amounts of hot money in the stock market and property market, the jade market has been overheated. Secretary-general of the Shoushan Stone Culture and Art Research Association in Fujian Province and Chen Lizhong, a master of arts and crafts, were deeply worried when interviewed by reporters: In recent years, the hot and frenzied art market has reflected a strong socialist mentality. This mentality not only misleads art consumption. They are also spreading in the artistic team and affecting their creation.

Tea shop to change to do arts and crafts shop jade market continues to frenzied with "Qianlong three chain chapter" and the famous Shoushan stone is one of the most expensive jade varieties in recent years.

The reporter recently saw a large-scale Shoushan Stone professional market in Jinan District, Fuzhou City. On the weekends, guests who come here to see stone and buy stones flow endlessly. The handicrafts made from Shoushan Stone are priced in astonishing prices, and some ordinary Shoushan stone ornaments are produced. Hundreds of thousands, even millions. "If the stone is of a fine texture and is a masterpiece, such ornaments generally have a price of 10 million yuan." A seller of the market told reporters.

Reporters recently went to Nanning, Guangxi, Hangzhou, Hangzhou, and other places to interview and saw that in some shopping centers in Nanning's Wuxiang New District, some small pendants made of Hetian jade materials usually cost millions; some jade counters in the department store in Hangzhou It is generally believed that at the beginning of this year, most of the consumers who came to buy jade were for collection or as wedding tokens. Since the beginning of summer, investment-based customers have soared, and high-priced jade crafts have become hot spots.

Professor Jing Naiquan of Zhejiang University said in an interview that since the beginning of this year, the art market has continued its hot market last year. Whether it is painting or calligraphy, or jade antiques, its price figures are constantly updating records. The root cause of the skyrocketing price of jade is the rapid rise in the price of rough stone. Take Shoushan Stone as an example, the price of rough stone in general texture will double this year compared with the same period of last year.

Second, because the stock market is in the doldrums, the property market is under severe pressure to regulate and control. Many can not find the hot money to invest in exports, continue to enter the art market, and there is a trend of rampant speculation, leading to the jade market began to show signs of local overheating.

Affected by the investment and consumption frenzy of Shoushan Stone Market, the reporter found that the shops in the streets of Fuzhou that used to run the tea business began to concurrently operate Shoushan Stone Crafts, and some of them completely abandoned tea from the stone. Industry sources pointed out that the value of jade is high or low, and its quality is good or bad. It requires high professional discrimination ability. The ordinary citizens and businessmen invest in the jade market often have a “gamble” mentality and need to be careful and prevent risks.

Crazy prices lead to waste of resources and ecological destruction Shoushan Stone is produced only from rare minerals in the Shoushan area of ​​the northern suburbs of Fuzhou City, Fujian Province. Due to the market's mad prices, the Shoushan Stone production area is also facing serious waste of resources and ecological destruction in recent years.

According to expert studies, the age of Shoushan Stone was 135 million to 208 million years ago. Although there are many varieties of Shoushan Stone, the reserves are very limited. The area that can be mined is about 200 square kilometers. In recent years, Shoushan stone and stone prices also started to dance with the market crazy, a large number of farmers in the Shoushan area went downhill and dug trenches to dig Shoushan Stone.

The reporter recently entered the Shoushan Village of Jin'an District, Fuzhou City. It was seen from afar that the mountain peaks that once produced Shoushan Quarry had collapsed due to human indiscriminate extinction. Tian Huangxi, who produced Huangshi in Shoushan, was turned over and over again. Rocky beach. According to the Bureau of Land and Resources of Jinan District, since 2005, the Bureau has successively carried out special rectification actions for the illegal mining of Shoushan Stone, basically stopping the phenomenon of ecological damage caused by indiscriminate mining.

According to Chen Lizhong, secretary general of the Shoushan Stone Culture and Art Research Association of Fujian Province and a master of arts and crafts, the key to avoiding the destruction of Shoushan Stone is to cultivate a healthy and rational art market. However, at the moment, some investors are eagerly pursuing high-quality stone materials in order to raise prices, forming an extensive market pattern dominated by selling resources, which inevitably results in over-exploitation of resources and destruction of the ecological environment. Compared with selling resources quickly and easily, performing a high level of artistic creation seems to be a long and arduous task, which in turn leads to the phenomenon of "heavy materials and light art."

Chen Lizhong believes that as jade works of art, the quality of the materials is of course important, but the core and highest value is still the profound connotation of the art and culture attached to them. Therefore, to promote the current art market from the resource type to the artistic charisma-type change, to reverse the misdirection of “heavy materials and light art”, the market will become healthy and rational, and the waste of resources and ecological destruction can really be contained.

Vigilant and Indifferent Mentality and Indifferent Art Creation Chen Lizhong said that the stone carving art of Shoushan, which has a history of over a thousand years, occupies an important position in China’s jade art field. Since the founding of New China, especially after the reform and opening up, Shoushan Stone Art, which is close to apoptosis, has regained its glory. The artists of this generation used the classics and the humanity as the aesthetic criterion to create the artistic peaks of Shoushan Stone Carving. In recent years, with the rapid development of China's economic development, huge amounts of social wealth have been accumulated and the living standards of the people have been greatly improved. The jade art market including Shoushan Stone has ushered in a vigorous spring, but this “spring” has suddenly risen abnormally. Temperatures have caused some investors and art creators to lose their senses.

Chen Lizhong believes that collections have become investments. This is a normal phenomenon. However, with the hot trading market, the black-box operation behind the auction transaction sometimes appears. For example, the investment institutions have raised the price of art, which is to prepare for taking profits after listing; for example, to create the value of art investment and attract unfamiliar Consumers pay for high-priced works; the most is that fakes and bad products flood the market more and more.

In the artistic creation team, they are severely eroded by the idea of ​​profit-seeking. Many young artists are indifferent to artistic creation, resulting in many unique styles of works, some of which are completely based on mechanical simulations of the paintings, and some of the creative teams have returned to the batch. The old road of production has made the work “a multiple birth of a mother” and has lost the most precious personal charm of art.

Chen Lizhong believes that the national transport has determined stone transport. In the long run, the jade art market will have the potential to continue to appreciate. However, at present, the entire art market in China needs to be adjusted, and the trend of soaring prices also needs to be eased. For creators, they should also withdraw from the deep tide of profit-seeking, deepen their lives and naturally draw rich creative inspiration, leaving more time for artistic creation.
