2. The oldest markets are Tengchong Jewelry Trading Center and Jade Trading Center of Arts and Crafts Factory. The history of arts and crafts factory can be traced back to before liberation, when it was an old state-owned enterprise, mainly engaged in jade carving. Under the general trend of the restructuring of state-owned enterprises in the 1980s, handicraft factories closed down one after another, and later became an old jade trading market after Tengchong Jewelry Trading Center.
3. It was popular in 1980s and 1990s. Of course, the most prosperous jade trading market in Tengchong in 1980s and 1990s was Tengchong Jewelry Trading Center. At that time, more than 80% of the jadeite wool and finished products in Tengchong were completed in this market. In Tengchong, jade trading is also like a fair, with an episode every five days, and so on, without interruption. Tengchong people call the jade fair street snap-up. On the day of the fair, all vendors engaged in the jade industry in Tengchong will concentrate on the unified market for trading. Before the renovation of the jewelry trading center in the 1980s and 1990s, many transactions were completed in booths.
Most wool owners set up stalls on the ground, waiting for customers to buy them. The processor's transaction is relatively primitive and does not set up stalls. They just carry a bag with the goods in it and walk back and forth in the market. As long as they meet familiar customers, both sides will stop to look at the goods, bargain and complete the transaction. At present, the internal transactions in Tengchong jade industry still partially maintain this "primitive" trading method. After 2000, this market-style trading place in Tengchong County moved to Tengyue emerald city (Tengchong people commonly call it Trade City). It is also a five-day market, and the market time usually starts at seven or eight in the morning and ends before 13 in the afternoon.
5. Other jade markets in Tengchong County are mainly retail, and there are shops in the market. History is not as long as the above two markets, the market scale is not as large as the above markets, and its influence is relatively small.
