After the reform and opening up, due to various reasons, jade enterprises changed production, and the workers of the original enterprises opened jade processing and sales shops in Shawei Road, the county town, which naturally formed a "jade street". Since then, jade processing factories, processing shops and family workshops in Sihui have developed at an alarming rate. By the late 1980s, Sihui had more than 1 1,000 jade processing households with more than 8,000 employees, and its annual output value exceeded 1 100 million yuan. Initially formed a unique new jade processing industry.
By the middle and late 1990s, with the strong support and guidance of the Sihui Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, the Sihui jade industry had been further developed, and professional jade markets such as Jade Street and Jade City with a certain scale and grade had been built, which attracted a large number of merchants to invest and trade jade and enjoyed a high reputation in China, even in Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia. At the same time, in order to expand their business, the jade merchants of Sihui spontaneously formed the "Jade Sky Light Market". Every day before dawn, the "skylight market" is brightly lit, crowded and bustling, and merchants who come to buy jade articles are in an endless stream. Sihui jade market has gradually become a well-known jade distribution center and the largest jade wholesale market in Guangdong. With the inheritance of several generations of jade carving techniques and the support of previous party committees and governments, the jade industry of Sihui has been growing and developing, forming its own characteristics in jade processing, jade product modeling and jade sales. By the end of 2006, it has developed into more than 1000 jade shops, more than 400 jade processing plants, more than 4,000 jade processing plants, employing more than 80,000 people and processing more than 7,000 tons of jade annually. Sihui has become an important jade processing base in China and one of the four major jade processing bases in Guangdong. It is also a well-known jade processing and sales distribution center in China and the largest jade wholesale market in Guangdong. In 20 14, most of the jade products were from Sihui in Guangzhou, Yangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing. In 2003, Sihui City won the title of "China Jade Town", and Yucheng became the abbreviation of Sihui City. The prosperity of the jade industry in Sihui also promoted the development of trade, tourism, hotels, restaurants and other industries.
Jade from other mountains, four will become a weapon.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, many court jade craftsmen lived among the people. Some jade craftsmen "flew south" to Guangzhou to run jade business, and some young farmers from Sihui followed them as apprentices. Since then, in order to avoid the disaster of war, many people returned to their hometown Sihui, and these people also brought jade processing technology back to Sihui and gradually developed it. By the end of 1980s, Sihui * * * had more than 1,000 jade processing households 1 000, with more than 8,000 employees, and its annual output value exceeded 1 000 million yuan, initially forming a unique jade processing industry and a jade street integrating jade processing and sales. Jade jewelers from all over the country and even Southeast Asia have come to Sihui to trade jade. People in Putian, Fujian and Nanyang, Henan, who have a long tradition of carving skills, smell the business opportunities of Sihui to develop jade industry and go to Sihui to "seek gold" one after another, which greatly improves the carving technology and refinement level of Sihui jade industry. According to statistics, by 2006, Sihui has grown to nearly 65,438+10,000 jade shops, more than 400 jade processing factories and more than 4,000 jade processing business households, with more than 80,000 employees (including about 40,000 Sihui locals, 20,000 in Putian, Fujian, and 20,000 in Nanyang, Henan), with an annual processing capacity of more than 7,000 tons and annual sales exceeding/kloc-0. Walking in sihui jade Street, you can hear cars and jade everywhere, and the "hometown of jade" is well-deserved.
"Stones from other mountains, four meetings will be achieved", but it has the reputation of "the hometown of jade in China" without the four meetings of jade minerals. Most of the jade raw materials of Sihui are from Myanmar, and the jade products produced are complete, including ornaments, playthings, pendants and ornaments. , diverse styles, high quality, enjoy a high reputation at home and abroad. Products are exported to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, as well as Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia and other regions. The development of sihui jade industry has trained a large number of jade carving craftsmen, and the jade products produced are ingenious in conception and fine in craftsmanship. A number of products won the "Tiangong Award" for jade carving and stone carving works in China. At the China Art Fair, most of the excellent works of gold, jewels and jade were selected by the Fourth Fair. As the most potential jewelry production and consumption country in the world, with the deepening of reform and opening up and the accelerated development of market economy, China's jewelry industry has increasingly become a new bright spot to stimulate economic growth, and the combination of jade and other jewelry is closer, and the development prospect of jade industry is broad. The development of jade industry in our city is still in the growth stage. Most of the jade production and sales are self-employed, lacking brand awareness, failing to form large-scale production and enterprise management, and the market competitiveness is not strong enough. In order to adapt to the development of the situation, the Sihui Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government put forward the goal of large-scale, standardized and high-end development of the jade industry and realized the upgrading of the jade industry. First, strengthen guidance and support. Support a number of key enterprises, encourage key enterprises to expand production scale, improve management level, establish brands, and use the effect of brands to radiate and drive more enterprises and self-employed. The second is to build a platform and strengthen promotion. Make full use of various publicity channels to carry out vigorous publicity. And through holding jade products fairs, ordering fairs, expositions, seminars and other activities, we will continue to open up new markets, strengthen foreign exchanges and cooperation, expand foreign influence, and improve visibility. The third is to optimize the industrial layout and improve the functional support. By expanding the supply of raw materials and product sales, we will further enlarge, strengthen and enlarge the jade industrial chain. At the same time, gradually establish and improve professional functional areas such as jade trading, jade processing and product sales, and constantly improve functional support. The fourth is to strengthen personnel training. By strengthening cooperation with colleges and universities, we will establish a practice base for students majoring in jewelry and jade and a training base for jade processing technology in Sihui, strengthen the training of jade carving technical personnel, and continuously expand the team of jade carving technical personnel. At the same time, actively organize the title evaluation of jade carving technicians, train more senior professionals, and improve the grade and level of jade carving technology.
