Previously, the largest jade carving workshop group in Bengbu was located in Shi Ying Street, near the big stage in Bengbu Old Street. Walking into the narrow street is really shocking: there are craftsmen grinding jade everywhere at the door of the house, and the sound of grinding jade in the ear is full of rustling. On both sides of this street, which is about 1000 meters long, as long as the doors can be opened, it must be a jade grinding workshop. Large and small jade carvings, some of which are several meters long and several meters wide, have complex structures; Some are as small as playthings in the palm of your hand; Some are as plain as just dug out of the ancient tomb; Some are dazzling. The unprocessed jade carving blank is just a godless bluestone, but the polished work is lifelike.
Reminder: Jade carving workshops abound in Bengbu, and fake jade carving is not common. You'd better pay more attention when you buy it.
