Inner Mongolia’s Alxa region was affected by plate extrusion and tectonic movements in the Early Cretaceous period between 0.92 and 146 million years ago. Su Hong The area in Figure has an east-west fault that reaches as deep as the upper mantle. Magma has erupted multiple times along the fault zone, forming a basalt - andesite accumulation belt with a length of 200 kilometers. There are still more than a dozen craters left today. Shenshan Mountain is an ancient volcanic crater located in the western section of this accumulation zone.
After each volcanic eruption, hydrothermal fluids are frequently active after the magma period. These mineral fluids rich in silica work according to the capillary principle. When they rise from the ground to the upper part of the pore-like andesite, due to the obstruction and sealing of basalt, they gather in the dense pores, cavities, and peeling gaps of andesite and basalt on the huge thick layer of pore-like andesite, and temporarily quiet down. After that, the temperature and pressure decreased, and the silicon liquid became supersaturated. It crystallized and precipitated along the cave wall to form agate , and it was produced in the shape of lumps, long strips, and irregular branches along certain layers. The multi-color alternating forms unstable concentric cladding stripes and ribbons. The pearl on the ornamental stone palace - grape agate , was formed in this way.
On the Mongolian Plateau with an area of more than 2 million square kilometers, only two volcanic craters bearing grape agate have been discovered so far. The other one is Ailige in East Gobi Province, Outer Mongolia, a thousand kilometers away from Suhongtu. In order to ship goods quickly and save money, they used explosives to dig in, and they destroyed many things under the fierce attack - a waste of natural resources!
There is an essential difference between the two grapes. The grapes grown in Suhongtu Mountain in Inner Mongolia are red, while the grapes grown in Outer Mongolia are not red and look like they have been flattened on the ground. This red color is produced because the hydrothermal fluid from the Holy Mountain has been immersed in multiple stages, and the changes in color-causing impurities in different stages have caused the color of the grape agate from the Holy Mountain to change. Because the closer to the cave wall, the stronger the oxidation conditions, so the appearance of the grape agate becomes red.
The surface goods from the three places of Shagou, Beishan and Xiaotai in the Shenshan Mining Area are basically characterized by dark red. Among them, the goods from Beishan are the most transparent and have the highest price. Because the unique red grapes underground in these places rise to the shallow weathering crust with the movement of the earth's crust, most of the iron they contain is oxidized into high-priced iron, making the red color of the surface of the block darker and thicker. Before the quarry director took over, the Shenshan Mine was basically being mined in an disorderly manner. Going forward in time, there were no mining areas at that time. Maybe after a flash flood, the shepherds could pick up the newly washed grapes, but they just didn't know the treasure.
In the jewelry and stone shop opened by President Du in the bustling neighborhood of Zuoqi, you can also see surface grapes from Beishan, Shagou and Nanshan. They are valuable God-given treasures that are not dug out manually.
When Brother Glasses was worshiping the sacred mountain, he saw that Beishan was being mined by large-scale excavators. The goods that had not been discovered manually in the previous excavations would be lost in this final machine harvest, and Beishan's grape production would be extinct.

The three reporters from the second set of CCTV did not have a smooth journey. They entered the sacred mountain one hour later than the glasses brother and the others. By the time Mr. Glasses finished looking at the three mining surfaces in A Bin's cave in the Shagou mining area, the reporters had already finished taking pictures of Lao Pan's cave and went down the mountain. The harsh conditions on the mountain did not allow guests from the capital to stay. CCTV only photographed the most beautiful piece of grape agate in its half-production state in recent years and then left. This is a treasure that Lao Pan has arranged to dig for two days, because the mines invested by different bosses are connected underground. After discovering the ore seedlings, Lao Pan immediately arranged for relatives and workers to guard the goods in the cave.
Affected by structural damage and weathering, agate cracks develop. Even though the outer periphery of the block is filled with dense white kaolin , when you peel off the soil and look at the ones mined from the ground, most of them are broken blocks, and very few of them are intact in shape.Lao Pan's large cocoon-like grape agate came out of the cave safely a few days later. It weighed more than 300 kilograms, was very complete, had a beautiful color, and had very large beads. Lao Pan temporarily offered a price of more than one million, and the news spread down the mountain in an instant, spreading wildly among first-hand circles.
BBC In many documentary films, there are often shots of overwhelming waterbirds by rivers and lakes. With so many waterbirds gathering together, what do they eat? Since they are together, there must be food. This is called a food chain. Just like the grape agate on the sacred mountain, it attracts a group of male and female mine owners, large and small, with their families, a group of migrant workers who are not afraid of hardships and dangers, and a group of bosses waiting outside the cave with cash and password boxes. There is also a food chain of survival of the fittest.
The deserts on the earth are formidable because they lack water, and even the most powerful equipment of the US military in the Middle East war cannot do anything about it. The water tanker brought water up from the army and then left again. That night, Lao Pan and the stationmaster accompanied the spectacled brother to drink in Abin's work shed. The stationmaster was fat and strong, and his voice was not high but he spoke the truth. Even after drinking, his eyes were still stable and sharp. He wanted the station to send electricity for two more hours tonight. It's almost twelve o'clock, and it's time for a power outage. When Lao Pan was the last to leave, he happily said to the glasses guy, "You can consider changing cars."
It was completely dark, and they saw the most unforgettable and beautiful starry sky in their lives, which seemed to be easy to pick up, on the blue Mongolian plateau, at the Alxa Suhongtu Sacred Mountain in Mongolia. After drinking that night, several men competed in a snoring competition in the large work shed. Abin's quiet and demure Mongolian daughter-in-law unfortunately did not have a good night's rest.
At five o'clock in the morning, the unlocked door opened. The Mongolian chef came to clear the table and prepare breakfast. Knowing that Hunan people like spicy food, he specially made a large pot of spicy tomato and egg soup . The chef is very diligent. He usually wanders around the area looking for strange stones when he has nothing to do. He collected several boxes full of them and put them under the bed. He also told President Su that he wanted to go to the south to sell Gobi stones . He told President Su that there was a mountain near the Holy Mountain that was made entirely of red jasper, so the weathered gravel was also red jasper. There is a place called Little Taiwan in the mine that produces desert paint , but the good stuff can no longer be seen. Many years ago, a worker picked up a 1:1 size desert paint apple, which looked exactly like a golden apple. He didn't understand strange stones and wanted to know what was inside, so he smashed them open with a hammer. The bosses at the mine still feel that it is a pity. If they had kept it until now, it would have been worth at least one million! He said that Chairman Su's eyes were as bright as the morning star.
After dawn, A Bin went down to the cave with his seven or eight workers on time at 6:30. He was the first batch to go down to the cave. Some batches went down at seven o'clock. Every night at 7:30, the boss and the workers came out of the cave together. A Bin's cave has reached a depth of more than 170 meters underground. Water has been extracted from the bottom layer, which is usable but not drinkable. Deep in the cave is a natural refrigerator with several legs of fresh mutton hanging. Due to the huge temperature difference between inside and outside the cave, all the bosses here have suffered from rheumatism to varying degrees over the past few years.
Mr. Ding was greatly frightened when he woke up in the morning. He followed A Bin's instructions and went to the ditch behind the work shed to "find a place where no one was around to solve the problem." When he was about to squat down, he suddenly noticed a woman not far away walking over and wanting to show her respect. He was so nervous that he immediately retreated into the ditch, having to be careful not to step on feces while walking. There are more than one deep and shallow ditches in these ditches, and people of all sizes, men and women, are scattered in them, wandering around randomly, because there are no toilets in the entire Sacred Mountain Agate Mine, except for one place.
The natural conditions for digging grape agate in the Holy Mountain are really difficult
It’s eight o’clock in the morning, and I’m still not awake from last night’s wine. The stationmaster enthusiastically made arrangements again, insisting that Mr. Glasses and his party come to the station to have a sumptuous Mongolian breakfast, and also put beer on the table. In the entire mining area, only the stationmaster's office has a toilet, and the explosives depot is closely protected under the stationmaster's nose. Next to the office is the evaluation room, where the grapes dug from each hole are immediately stored for evaluation. The mine divides the grapes 50-50 with the bosses of each cave according to the assessed price. If you don't have money, the goods will be divided, and if you have money, you will get money. Explosives and diesel are provided at the mine.
After breakfast, the boss who happened to be on the mountain to receive the goods took a fancy to a piece of grape. He clicked out 400,000 yuan from the lock box and made the deal. The glasses guy helped, and three people used a quilt to carry the unwashed lump weighing several dozen kilograms out of the evaluation room. The boss was a little excited and said it looked like a Buddha.
After dinner, Abin drove the four-wheel drive off-road vehicle to take everyone to the depths of Yingen Pastoral Area, which is nearly 100 kilometers away, to a place with no signs of human civilization. There are no telephone poles, no roads, no signals, but there are wolves, camels, and the most beautiful Gobi stones on the Mongolian plateau. Zuoqi On this trip, Mr. Ding, who runs an outdoor product chain franchise store, came up with the idea of agent for smart toilets.

A year later, A Bin received Brother Glasses in Yinchuan to attend the Zuoqi National Day Stone Exhibition, and told him that the piece of grape agate that Brother Glasses helped carry out had just sold for 1.69 million. The glasses man informed that Mr. Ding has switched to selling fully automatic home smart toilets. The most high-end product he now represents is called "First Class", which is an all-in-one enema, laxative and spa. Amid laughter, we arrived at the newly built China Desert Stone Culture Museum. The high-spirited quarry director was helping people carry things outside the gate. As the main building of the Alxa Desert Stone Cultural Industrial Park, this is the main venue for the 2015 "Cross-Strait Stone Appreciation Cultural Exchange Exhibition". Most of the top Alxa grape agates are hidden here. When you see grapes like this, you realize the beauty of fine products!
Many of these grapes are still red when they are first unearthed. Some of them will fade over time due to light damage and other reasons. The secret is that the deeper the grapes are unearthed, the easier it is to lose color and the less rosy they are. Pay tribute to the stone farmers who dig, package and sell these grapes! Because of them, this pearl in the crown of the Stone Kingdom is so dazzling. In Alxa, the light of the grapes even covers up the gold and surpasses the desert paint. Crazy grapes!
In the stadium exhibition hall, I saw a piece of the best Beishan grape unearthed this year. The Beishan grape has been mined to the end. At this point, the best mineral resources in the grape agate mining area have been exhausted. This exhibit has been sold for RMB 4 million. A Bin washed off the kaolin on it and found out a few large, transparent and red floating beads. A Bin gave it to Brother Glasses.
Brother Glasses felt a little conflicted, "There is a difference between fruit hanging on a tree and being carried in a basin. The life of the fruit is gone in the basin. So grapes look better when they grow on trees. If we don't have the determination to find beauty in our hearts, then it is impossible to find traces of grapes in the sacred mountain. Digging it out from the ground of one or two hundred meters is like pulling a fish that swims well out of deep water. If we can't find beauty, watch Does it bring pleasure to observe the twisted posture of the body? The beauty of it being seen again is no less than that of Venus emerging from her bath with a broken arm, it depends on how you look at it. Mahatma Gandhi said, ‘The earth is sufficient to satisfy all our needs, but not our greed.’ Are we too greedy in digging up northern grapes and not leaving grapes on the trees for future generations? ”
What is a stone path?
Stone merchants have stone merchant roads, stone farmers have stone farm roads, stone base roads are used for supporting seats, stone cutting roads are used for cutting stones, and even stone diggers also have digging roads. These are not metaphysical stone paths, but remain at the technical level. If a strange stone like a chick or Dongpo meat is placed between them, it will be stated that whoever gets it first will get it. It will definitely cause strong greed, anger and delusion, and these bad qualities are not tolerated by the real stone path. When the corporals heard about Shi Dao, they laughed loudly. If you don't make them laugh, it won't be Shi Dao.
The natural humanization is Confucianism, which is related to interpersonal relationships; the naturalization of human beings is Zhuang, which is related to personality. External separation is Zen, internal non-chaos is concentration, and the attitude towards life is Zen, which is related to the stone in nature. This is a Zen stone. If there is not a bag bulging on the stone, it is a Zen stone. Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and Guang Tongchen in the stone are the way of the stone.
If the sky has feelings and the rocks have ways, they should have their own laws of growth, transformation and education. The sublime stone path does not need to be hyped or booed, but it is low-level, undisputed, or nameless. Only those with superior virtue and wisdom can appreciate it.Such a stone, like a thousand-mile horse, always exists; such a person, like Bole, does not always exist; such a stone path is so hidden that it does not show itself, and even has no name to show off and nothing to say. Those who can see the beauty of the human body from stone drum texts are experts, and there are many such experts in the stone world. But the only one who can interpret the beauty of the Western human body with the beauty of Eastern landscape shapes is Sanyu . His "Nude with Bent Legs" is worth tens of millions on average. Because he has attained enlightenment.
