On a sunny and breezy summer day, I came here with foreign guests again, and took time out of my busy schedule for a "tour". The accompanying leaders of the township party committee and government enthusiastically told us that Nanyang Forest Park consists of four scenic spots, namely, Old Land, Sifang Monument, tianmashan and Wumacao. Each scenic spot is dangerous and beautiful, stretching for dozens of kilometers, forming a strange landscape of "looking at the mountains horizontally and looking at the peaks from the side". Standing in the old place, looking southwest at the long beam, the sky is high, the cliff is unparalleled, the mountain is steep and majestic, and tourists climb the ladder. When you come to Sifangbei and meet three counties, it is more and more dangerous to walk. On the "boundary" site, the mountains are from low to high, the mountains and rivers are vertically juxtaposed with the long beams, the forest is boundless, and the pines roar, which is quite relaxing. Tianmashan is long and winding, with overlapping peaks and majestic and lush trees. Five peaks, like five mangers, stand tall, like five fine horses, galloping their hooves and drinking the water in the manger, which adds to the charm of the legend of Nanyang Mountain and arouses endless reverie.
Nanyang Forest Park has unique scenery, different scenery and myriad weather, with gentle spring breeze, golden sun like fire, or misty rain. After a storm comes a calm, cumulus clouds are densely covered, connecting with Tianshan Mountain, climbing to the top of the mountain, overlooking the summit, the sea of clouds is rolling, and the mountains are bare; At night, standing on the top of the old land and tianmashan, I looked at it with wide eyes. The setting sun is gorgeous, and the beautiful sea is dyed. The sun rises, the mountains bathe in Hui Jin, and the forests are colorful. No wonder many tourists often say that the scenery of Nanyang Forest Park is changing at any time. Savor it, really.

Nanyang jade carving art
News date: 2004-9-1012: 31:09
When it comes to Nanyang jade carving, we can't help but mention dushan jade and dushan jade, which are the "treasures of towns and cities" that Nanyang people are proud of and one of the four famous jade in China. They are named after Dushan Mountain in Nanyang City, Henan Province, also known as Du Yu. Nanyang basin is rich in jade resources, excellent in texture and has a long history of mining, carving and management. Known throughout the country, it is known as the "hometown of jade carving in China" and occupies an extremely important position in the history of Chinese jade culture development.
1. Nanyang jade carving history: it began in the Neolithic Age 6000 years ago.
Nanyang dushan jade has a long history of production. Duyu shovel and Duyu yellow unearthed from Neolithic sites such as Huangshan Mountain, Xinye Phoenix Mountain, Zhenping and Sheqi in Nanyang City show that in the Neolithic Age 6000 years ago, hardworking and intelligent ancestors here began to use and carve Duyu, and jade culture began to sprout and initially prosper. By the Han dynasty, Nanyang jade had been mined and carved in large quantities, which was quite grand. There is a settlement for processing and carving jade, and there are two rows of workshops on a street, and the sound of cutting jade is endless. At least in the Western Han Dynasty, Nanyang jade carving had reached a considerable scale, and now Shagangdian at the foot of Dushan still retains the site of the "Yujie Temple" in the Han Dynasty. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, Nanyang jade carving gradually developed from a simple tribute for dignitaries to an ornament and a daily utensil. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Nanyang jade carvings were very rich in variety. After the Qing Dynasty, Nanyang jade carving has formed a big industry. The development and utilization of dushan jade has been attached great importance, and great progress has been made in the research, mining, carving and marketing of mineral deposits. Especially since the reform and opening up, the prestigious Nanyang jade carving industry has attracted a large number of people inside and outside the industry, thus making dushan jade known, appreciated and accepted by more people.
Nanyang jade carving has many colors, including red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple. Bright color, high hardness, good luster, fine texture and high transparency. It is a good raw material for carving jade, comparable to jade, and was once called "Nanyang jade" by Germans. The varieties of jade carving products can be divided into four categories: figures, flowers, birds and animals. Most of the characters are based on myths and legends and ancient drama stories. There are 23 kinds of flowers and birds, such as birds flying towards the phoenix, magpies playing with plums, phoenix peony and long-tailed bird screens. Animals include lions, elephants, tigers, cows, horses and so on. 16 species; Pavilion smoked jade bottle, Yuhuan, converter, pavilion furnace, jade tripod, etc. 120. According to different techniques, sculpture can be divided into two categories: flower-shaped, flower-shaped, converter, bird, animal and lady. Exquisite carving skill, complex knife method and profound meaning; Plain life is like rings, bracelets, earrings, etc. Modern artists not only inherit the traditional sculpture, but also incorporate the painting style of traditional Chinese painting, such as landscapes, figures, flowers and birds. After the painstaking research of jade carving artists, it gradually formed the characteristics of "clever and vivid flowers and clear colors".
Second, Nanyang jade carving art: from "desecrating mountains and rivers and jade seas" to "Jiulong Village"
Through the excavation and arrangement of traditional skills by jade carving artists and scientific and technological workers and the absorption of foreign experience, Nanyang jade carving technology has been continuously improved and gradually formed its own unique artistic style, which is famous for its flexible techniques and high colors. Wu Shuo, chairman, general manager and senior arts and crafts artist of Nanyang Tuo Baoyu Appliance Co., Ltd., because the unique jade is rich in color and both in depth, a stone is often mixed in color. This requires the sculptor to consider all aspects, not only to have wonderful layout ideas, but also to skillfully use various colors to make the whole work interesting and natural, so that viewers can't help but marvel. Wolong Mountain, produced by Nanyang Jade Carving, is the largest giant jade carving in China at present. It is a rare artistic treasure with strict layout, clever color, exquisite carving and magnificent momentum. It weighs 3.8 tons, is 2.5 meters long and is 1.6 meters high. The five-ring furnace and flower incense made in dushan jade were selected, which absorbed the characteristics of ancient bronzes and other handicrafts. The yellow flower incense was used to create a multi-layer rotating ball with simple and dignified shape and exquisite craftsmanship, which won wide acclaim at the international handicraft exhibition held in France. Nanyang people used abundant raw materials in jade carving, including jade from Liaoning, jade from Myanmar, white jade from Afghanistan, jasper from Canada, white jade from Russia, coral, agate, hibiscus, crystal stone, amethyst, ruby and sapphire.
Indeed, the jade carving industry, which has flourished for thousands of years, has formed a rich and profound Nanyang jade carving culture, and has nurtured Nanyang jade carving artists who have been handed down from generation to generation, emerging endlessly and with superb skills. While inheriting the traditional crafts, Nanyang jade carving masters constantly introduce, absorb and innovate artistic design and carving techniques. It is the combination of a long history, profound cultural heritage and unique jade resources that makes Nanyang jade carving, an artistic treasure, passed down from generation to generation and carried forward, and amazing works are constantly coming out. Up to now, more than 40 masterpieces designed and carved by Nanyang jade carving masters, such as Wolong Mountain, Kowloon Swirling Flower Scene, Liuhe Tongchun, Wan Li Great Wall and Jiulong Pavilion, have won national and provincial awards successively, and many products have been collected as rare treasures by the Palace Museum, art galleries and collectors. Jiulong town's gift is 199cm long, 1 10cm wide, 80cm high and weighs 500kg. The design style of the gift is novel and unique, and the idea is ingenious and ingenious. The unique colors of Nanyang dushan jade are skillfully used, and various carving techniques such as relief, through carving, hollowing out and line carving are adopted. Nine dragons surround the sundial, which shows that the sons and daughters of China in Kyushu are closely United and live in harmony, and also expresses the meaning of 99-99 reunification. The whole work symbolizes national unity, national prosperity and reunification of the motherland, and expresses the deep affection of 90 million people in Henan Province to welcome Macao's return.
Known as a "national treasure" and weighing 3500 kilograms, the jade article "Look down on mountains and jade seas" was a gift given to the three armed forces by Kublai Khan in the Yuan Dynasty. It is the earliest and largest giant jade carving in the history of China, an epoch-making artistic treasure of China and a rare masterpiece in the history of gem development in the world. However, since it came out more than 700 years ago, its jade quality has been debated and failed to be identified. Recently, the China Gem and Jade Culture High-level Forum sponsored by the China Traditional Culture Promotion Association of the Ministry of Culture and the Asian Jewelry Federation was held in the Great Hall of the People. At the forum, after careful observation and research by more than 20 well-known experts in jade archaeology and collection in China, and repeated comparison and identification with samples of dushan jade mine in Nanyang, it was determined that the Yuan Dynasty jade material "Dushan Yuhai" currently displayed in Tuancheng of Beijing Beihai Park was dushan jade in Nanyang. At this point, a "eternal unsolved case" was finalized.
