The discovery of jasper in Taiwan Province Province:
During 1932, when Nakajima was hunting in Huannaoshan area of Hualien, white fibrous asbestos was discovered, which prompted the Japanese army to use it as war preparation materials in large quantities during World War II. But regardless of jade, they dumped pieces of original jasper stones in Taiwan Province Province into the river valley and turned them into waste stones.
Until the 1960s, after Liao Xuecheng in national cheng kung university discovered the green stone and confirmed it as jadeite, the Central Daily News published a news report on the discovery of jadeite in Hualien on September 24th 1965, and the professor of Geology Department of National Taiwan University also went deep into the mining area to conduct evaluation and research, which set off a jade mining boom in the next decade. Taiwan Bay jade, which reappears in rivers and lakes, has become synonymous with precious stones in Taiwan Province Province, and is the only "cat's eye jade" in the world.
After 1975, due to the high mining cost, the cheap import price of international flash jade and the prohibition of mining jade mines, the jade industry in Taiwan Bay became increasingly depressed, but it still could not erase the scenic history of jade processing during 1970.
At that time, Taiwanyu was one of the unique export products representing Taiwan Province Province, which earned a lot of foreign exchange and was widely loved by Japanese and European and American people. Taiwan Province jade art shops are everywhere in Hualien. Taiwanyu also initiated the gem processing in Taiwan Province Province and laid the foundation for Taiwan Province Province to become the world gem production and marketing center.
During the period from 1960 to 1970, Toyota Jade Mine once "made jade at home" and "became the richest area in Hualien". From 1962 to 1986, the output of jadeite in Taiwan Province Province once accounted for 60% of the world. As far as the official total output is concerned, Taiwan Province jadeite ranks first in the world with more than 1000 metric tons. Therefore, Taiwanyu has become synonymous with "the gem of Taiwan Province Province" and one of the best representatives of the specialty products in Taiwan Province Province.
