Do you know the true value of Tian Huang? Are those Tianhuang really valuable?

So what did the Qing emperors use it for? It was usually used for jade seals or sacrifices. You must know that Qin Shihuang's Jade Seal made by He's Bi has long been missing, and the truth has been annihilated in the long river of history, so later emperors made jade seals by themselves. Therefore, the material requirements of the jade seal are very demanding, and it almost represents a symbol of the emperor's status. During the Qing Dynasty, when the emperor offered sacrifices to the heavens and ancestors, he placed some commodity Tianhuang on the sacred table. At that time, it was called Fujian Shoushan Tianhuang, or "Fu Shou Huang" for short, so it has always been the treasure of the Qing emperors.

The increase in the market value of Tianhuang also makes people's requirements for engraving technology increase. The appreciation of Tian Huangdiao's works is inseparable from the appreciation of sword techniques. The carving craft requires the layout of the picture to be shaped according to the stone, and the ups and downs are just right. Complex yet delicate, smooth lines, vivid depiction of craftsmanship. His works have a profound literary and artistic background, a lofty artistic realm, and a blend of poetry, calligraphy, and seals. In the design, it adds beauty and connotation to the work. The shape of the work is round and smooth, which is not only a requirement for stone, but also a requirement for engravers. The flaws of the stone should not lead to the lack of fullness and incompleteness of the artistic image of the work, and the unnatural unevenness and stiffness of the work. Of course, there must be no mistakes in the carving process, otherwise the value of the work will be greatly reduced. The delicate processing in the carving can reflect the profound cultivation of the sculptor.

After the reform and opening up, the socio-economic development is rapid, the Shoushan stone carving industry is thriving, and the collection of Shoushan stone is popular. Due to the promotion of the market, people's attention to Shoushan stone has gradually increased. The precious Tianhuang is naturally a treasure that collectors are vying to collect. With the spread of Chinese culture, it affects overseas and is also favored by many overseas collectors. It is precisely because of this that people's appreciation of Shoushan stone and its sculptures and the exploration of the value of collection are gradually active.

Tianhuang is only produced on the ancient sand layer at the bottom of the paddy field in Shoushan Township where the Shoushan Stone Creek flows, and there is no single field stone produced in the paddy field that has not been moistened by the Shoushan Stone Creek. This fact inevitably means that Tian Huang, who was originally noble due to the legend of entering the dream of the emperor, is once again dyed with a mysterious color. In fact, Tian Huang is a natural peeling of the mountain and washed into the paddy field with the current. After tens of thousands of years of natural accumulation and infiltration, it can be said that countless chances and coincidences have been able to nurture the Tianhuang, a god-given thing, combined with the characteristics of "no roots and no veins to be found". From this perspective It is not an exaggeration to say that Tian Huang is mysterious. In addition, Tianhuang was weighted by the court, and most of the Tianhuang flowed into the palace, and the amount of Tianhuang that folk literati could obtain was relatively small.
