Why is Nanhong so "red"?

Nanhong is one of the hottest collections in the jewelry market today, and it has formed a three-legged trend with Jade and Hetian jade. Forming such a hot situation today, many people think that it is made by jade merchants. Moreover, in the jade market, fiery jade species emerge in an endless stream. Therefore, many people have begun to wonder how much the composition of Nanhong's hype is. Is it worthwhile to invest?

In fact, in my opinion, any jade species appears in people's field of vision. If their own conditions are not met, any hype will be in vain and will not reach a certain height. Any jewellery product needs to be recognized and selected by the market. Our collectors are absolutely eye-catching. Nanhonghuo certainly has the capital and conditions of its fire, and its value is not worth investing is also determined by these conditions.

1. Analyze its investment value from the material and performance characteristics of Nanhong

On May 6th, 2016, Nanhong was officially defined as Nanhongyu at the National Symposium on Quartz and Jade Name Standards sponsored by the Jewelry and Jade Jewelry Management Center of the Ministry of Land and Resources and the National Jewelry and Jade Standardization Committee. This means that Nanhong officially entered the ranks of “Jade” and stepped into the high-end hall of jewelry.

Then, we must analyze the investment value of Nanhong from the perspective of jade and stone. The ancients said that the beauty of stone is jade. However, the jewellery and jade industry has developed to the present day, and the demand for jade is not only beautiful. Jade must be characterized by beauty, durability, stability and scarcity. So does Nanhong have these characteristics?

1.1, beautiful

Jade should have a beautiful appearance. Or bright colors, or transparent, or shiny. In short, jade should have a high appreciation value. The appreciation value of Nanhong can be seen from the following aspects:

1.1.1, South Red has a wide variety of colors and colorful

Jinhong: Jinhong is one of the most precious types of color in Nanhong. It is dominated by red and red, and the output is very rare. Its characteristic is that it integrates red, enamel, fine, moist and even, and its appreciation value can be imagined.

Persimmon Red (Yellow): It is a collection of colors. The overall color of the red is yellow or yellow with red, including all the transition colors between the yellowish red to the persimmon yellow. Like a very ripe persimmon, it makes people happy when they look at it. It is also a very beautiful category. The south red and red color of this category is more precious and valuable, and the value is higher.

Rose red: The color is relatively purple and purple, and the whole is purple-red. The rose is very beautiful, and it is rare in history. In recent years, there has been a certain amount of occurrence in Liangshan, Sichuan, mainly from the Wasi Mine and the Yixing Mine. It has become a treasure in Nanhong, and its value has been rising. Rose red is also more precious in red.

Cinnabar red: The red body can be clearly seen from the cinnabar points, and some have a similar flame texture. Some cinnabar red flame patterns are very enchanting, with a unique beauty.

Cherry Red: Cherry Red is the most beautiful color of Nanhong in addition to Jinhong and Persimmon. Red and bright, uniform color, good transparency, water head, slightly transparent, bright and moist like cherry, very suitable for use as a ring face.

From this point of view, Nanhong has a wide variety of colors, colorful and beautiful, so I will not introduce them one by one.

1.1.2, South Red Gloss

Grease shine to glass luster. Although it is not as bright as a diamond, it is as bright as an emerald, but the warm and soft luster is accompanied by its vivid and lively colors. The traditional low-key is always jeweled.

1.1.3, South Red's transparency

Translucent to opaque, very beautiful.

1.1.4, the texture of South Red

The warm texture is an important feature that distinguishes jade from other gemstones. The texture of Nanhong is delicate and oily, and the gum is very strong, which has a good appreciation value.

Based on the above, Nanhong has a very high appreciation value in terms of the type, color, luster and texture of Nanhong. At the same time, it is also an important embodiment of the investment value of Nanhong High Collection.

1.2, durable

In addition to the high appreciation value of jade, it is more important to maintain the durability of beauty. Has a certain hardness, wear resistance, and has good chemical stability. Similarly, for the durability of Nanhong, we can look at the following two aspects:

1.2.1

South red hardness

Nanhong has a hardness of 6.5 to 7 and is very resistant to characterization.

1.2.2, South Red solubility

Insoluble, the main component of Nanhong is SiO2, which has high melting point, high hardness and stable chemical properties.

From the above point of view, from the perspective of the hardness and solubility of Nanhong, Nanhong has a very good durability and stability, and has a good collection investment value.

1.3, rare

Since ancient things are rare, jade is no exception. Even if the quality of the two kinds of jade belongs to the same grade, the output is different, and the market value is different. Nanhong is no exception, it is very rare.

It is well known that the formation of Nanhong is a volcanic eruption. The basaltic magma overflows the earth along the cracks in the ground. The large amount of gas in the magma forms a lot of pores when the basalt solidifies. These pores are then deposited by the underground hot aqueous solution. Filled with silica. If the silica contains a large amount of ferric ions (hematite), it forms a south red. Therefore, from the analysis of the mineralization conditions of Nanhong, the mineralization of Nanhong is extremely demanding.

First, if the iron ions contained in the silica are little or contain ferrous ions, a chalcedony or agate of light or grayish color is formed, and it is impossible to form a south red.

Secondly, basaltic magma contains more iron than granite, but mostly ferrous, making basalt mostly greenish gray or grayish black. Only the iron in the underground hot water is fully oxidized into ferric ions (hematite) to form a red and red color. The oxidation of iron ions is a very harsh condition.

According to this, the formation of Nanhong is so harsh, the resources are so rare, and the quality of South Red is less. Therefore, from this point of view, the scarcity and non-renewability of Nanhong is also an important manifestation of its investment value.

2. Analyze the investment value of Nanhong from the root of red culture development

Red, because of its own color characteristics, and its psychological influence, has an important position in many ancient civilizations. In China, it is known as the "national color." It has more cultural connotations than other colors, which is inseparable from the traditional Chinese history and culture that has been used for thousands of years.

2.1, sun worship

Light and warmth have an important role to play for human beings. Primitive humans' instinct for light and warmth evokes the worship of the sun and believes that their lives are derived from the gift of the sun.

China has a highly developed agricultural civilization. Although ancient developed a highly developed technique of sowing, cultivation, irrigation, etc., it is no exaggeration to rely on the heavens. For the ancestors, the fundamental element of the growth of all things is the sun, humanity. It is inseparable from the sun, and the most important agricultural production related to survival and development is inseparable from the sun, which has become one of the most important sources of sun worship. Red also symbolizes the color of the sun, so the worship of the sun is derived from the worship of red.

2.2, fire worship

Later in the primitive society, humans discovered the fire and learned to keep and use the fire. Fire is an important tool and phenomenon for human beings to improve their living conditions. It drives away the cold and darkness, changes the living conditions of human blood and blood, and promotes the progress of human civilization. The worship of fire extends from the worship of the sun, and the worship of red is also followed.

2.3, blood worship

Another source of red worship is blood worship. Red is the color of blood, and the worship of blood has spawned the worship of red. The living body is born with the mother's blood, and blood is a symbol of vitality and a source of life. Therefore, it is considered that red represents blood and is the source of life and the parasite of the soul.

2.4, the evolution of red worship

Cinnabar and hematite have become the material basis of China Red.

First, its red color is related to blood color, and it is derived from the antiseptic effect of cinnabar itself. It is widely used in tomb art; it reflects the meaning of eternal and life.

The second is that its hue is related to the color of the sun and the flame, and is then introduced into the yin and yang five elements theory, affecting clothing, rituals, architecture, and ritual colors. Such as the palace buildings of the Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, as the red slowly evolves, people think that red is evil on the one hand, such as the legend of the year in tradition; on the other hand, red symbolizes justice and mightyness, such as the prison of China's feudal era is red, symbolizing The rule of law is to use blood to defend this dignity.

Red is related to the revolution. In the period of the French Revolution, people thought that overthrowing an old dynasty and establishing a new system meant sacrificing and bleed. The revolutionaries at the time brought a red hat and a red flag, symbolizing the use of blood. Overthrow the old rule. Therefore, red is a symbol of the revolution.

From the French Revolution to the later Soviet Union, the Red Flag, the Red Army, and the Red Guards all used red to symbolize a new force. It has continued to the red culture of the national flag and party flag used in China.

Finally, red is the longest wavelength of all colors, and it is also the most recognizable. Therefore, many signs in life are red.

It can be seen that red has placed a lot of cultural content in history. In the hearts of Chinese people, red has more cultural connotations than other colors. This kind of worship and pursuit of red culture is rooted in the heart and integrated into the blood. Nanhong is very easy to do, it has the red color that makes the Chinese people dream. From this point of view, the investment value of Nanhong is self-evident, and it is by no means a jade merchant can make a speculation.

3. Analyze its investment value from the historical and cultural accumulation of Nanhong

The Chinese civilization is the only civilization in the world with thousands of years of jade culture, and it has been stretching since the new era. Throughout history, the inheritance of culture requires a carrier. Nanhong, one of the carriers of jade culture, is well known as a matter of recent years, but there is a long process to trace humanity's discovery and cognition of Nanhong.

3.1, red out of South Red

In the ancient country of Jinsha 3,000 years ago, a coin-making craftsman used the tradition of the Sanxingdui ancestors to use the Beihai currency to create the earliest one of the world's first South Red products, the South Red Bay. The shape is simple and exquisite, after thousands of years of vicissitudes, but still vivid, the existing ancient Jinsha Museum. It can be seen from the "South Red Baycoin" that people at that time highly praised Nanhong.

The aristocrats of the Warring States period put Nanhong into a bracelet and wore it on the wrist, even if they were brought into the coffin after death.

Back in time to the ancient Shu Kingdom of more than 2,000 years, the third generation of the grandson of the king of Zhuang Xi was very fond of Nanhong. In his graveyard, he excavated the beetle and the head of the cow with Nanhong.

It can also be seen from the above two points that Nanhong belongs to the exclusive ruling class and symbolizes the lofty power position.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Baoshan Yongzi, once a tribute to the royal family, was said to be the main pigment of Baoshan Nanhong.

In the Qing Dynasty, the objects made by Nanhong were used as tributes to the royal family and reached their peak. For example, the first red agate phoenix cup in the Palace Museum in Beijing, the red and white agate double fish and so on.

It can be seen that Nanhong, as a rare and precious jade material, has won the love and admiration of the royal aristocrats and literati in the past with its bright and unique red color, and has played an important role in the history of Chinese jade culture.

3.2. Nanhong and Tibetan Buddhism Culture

Nanhong is called ma.rai or ma.zhou in Tibetan, and is translated into Chinese as a red stone. As one of the seven treasures of the country, Nanhong is inlaid on many statues of Buddha. Buddhism Tantra believes that Nanhong is a strange stone that can communicate with the gods. It can be worn to escape evil and protect the body. It has been used as a talisman since ancient times, symbolizing friendliness, love and hope. Therefore, many Tibetan Buddhist believers will wear Nanhong with them. Nanhong entered the Qing court with the Tibetan culture, and it also had a profound impact on the Central Plains Buddhist culture. Make Nanhong use, wear, and collect into more people's horizons.

3.3. The situation of Nanhong in recent years

As the source of the Nanhong mine in the Baoshan area of ​​Yunnan was found, the red agate produced was renamed “South Red Agate”. At first, due to lack of resources, mining difficulties, and low visibility, it has not received much attention. In 2009, Nanhong in the Liangshan area of ​​Sichuan Province came out, and the scale of mining continued to expand. The precious rough stone and the south red top grade continued to be produced, bringing unlimited vitality and fun to the South Red industry and collectors.

With the increasing awareness of the South Red market and the improvement of consumption levels, the Chinese people's consumption consciousness that has been infiltrated for thousands of years of jade culture will also become more mature, and the development of the South Red market will enter a new stage of development. The current South Red, compared to the previous years, has turned over ten or even dozens of times, but people are still buying crazy, and more and more people are pouring into this market, at the current price, It is the general trend to continue to rise.

On the whole: Nanhong is the representative jade of China Red, carrying the antique Qin and Han dynasty; continuing the legacy of the Tang and Song dynasties of the prosperous style; following the splendid and splendid Wei and Jin dynasty; spreading the charm of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. With its rich cultural connotation, it will continue to lead the crazy collection investment boom.
