In the early days of reform and opening up, the local development of crystals in the East China Sea was mainly for industrial use, followed by processing into simple bracelets and necklaces. So when people buy crystal necklaces and bracelets, they only think white transparent body is good, and many people still think so. Of course, natural white crystal is a superior product, but because crystal is very similar to glass, many unscrupulous businessmen use transparent glass as crystal to defraud consumers of money. This bad behavior is also damaging the brand image of Donghai Crystal. The reason is: "In the early stage of the development of the crystal industry, many people did not master the basic knowledge of crystals, and there were no identification instruments at that time, which led to many people being deceived. It is also because in the early days, people only thought that white, transparent and impurity-free crystals were the best, and some even hoped to be flawless. Many people ignore that crystal is a kind of stone. It is very normal to have some impurities and flaws, and they have been deceived because of the pursuit of perfection. "

Now Donghai Crystal has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, thanks to a group of hardworking founders of Donghai Crystal Industry. In the backward 1990 s, it was also destroyed by unscrupulous businessmen. They also let Donghai Crystal enter people's hearts and go to the world. Their contribution is very great, and their actions and thoughts are very respectable. Today, the East China Sea has become the world-famous crystal capital, the largest professional crystal market in China and the distribution center of the world's crystals, and its technological level has reached the top level in the world. The crystal reserves in the East China Sea reach 300,000 tons, and the silica composition is as high as 99.99%, with extremely high purity, ranking first in the country in terms of reserves and quality. "Crystal in the East China Sea is the best in the world" now displays the 3.5-ton "Crystal King" in geological museum, China, that is, from the East China Sea. Chairman Mao's crystal coffin is mainly refined from the East China Sea crystal raw materials. abstract

Crystal culture is a new cultural product produced by crystal lovers after long-term collection and research. It is the experience and artistic sublimation of experienced collectors, the summary of crystal comprehensive understanding, and the cultural movement that gives vitality to natural minerals. The flawless white crystal is regarded as a symbol of purity by people, and it is also associated with pure love by young friends. Different crystals have different symbols, and amethyst is intended to sell well and is deeply loved by the stars. Crystal culture also contains rich civilization spirit, so crystal is also the materialization of the soul. Crystal culture fundamentally interprets the characteristics and connotation of crystal and helps people open the door to the crystal world.

The Origin of Crystal Culture

The development of exquisite crystal culture can be traced back to the summer of 1990. Influenced by the rise of crystal culture, the crystal industry has undergone earth-shaking changes. It was initiated by Mr. Zhu Jingqiang, the "first person in crystal collection" and the current chairman of Shilaiyun Good Crystal Crafts Co., Ltd., who loves art and likes to conceive. His wisdom and foresight enabled him to navigate the complicated crystal market with ease, and he pioneered the crystal culture with his unique ideas, thus creating a new era in the crystal industry. Integrating art and culture into crystal, this creative thinking innovation has historically changed the overall face of the crystal industry and completely changed people's understanding of crystal.

Its pioneer's first initiative was to give a vivid name to a crystal in Crystal "Halley's Comet". The appearance of Halley's Comet suddenly changed the development pattern of the crystal market and led to the upsurge of people's collection of crystals. With its unique ornamental value and rich cultural connotation, the crystal is transformed from industrial use into jewelry, strange stones and collectibles. It is true that its appearance determines that it has become a symbol of this historic change in the crystal industry. It is also the first titanium crystal discovered by human beings. This kind of crystal is very rare and has been given the reputation of Mercedes-Benz in crystal. People in the industry call it the originator of crystal ornamental stone, which has high collection value.

Zhu Jingqiang and Crystal Culture (Discovery of Halley's Comet)

Zhu Jingqiang, currently the vice chairman of the Crystal Art Committee of Jiangsu Arts and Crafts Industry Association, described the discovery of Halley's Comet. At that time, he was a teacher in Donghai county key middle school, and he first entered the crystal industry. He was one of the earliest crystal operators in his field at that time. With a solid cultural foundation, in just a few years, he has become a leader in the industry with amazing achievements. As the first person in the research and development of Donghai crystal, he has been committed to the development of Donghai crystal industry since he entered the crystal industry, and it is also his lifelong duty to study crystal culture. In the 1990s, the East China Sea crystal tide flooded, and the colorful crystals were complicated and changeable, which made many people look at the stone and sigh. The early crystal industry mainly produced crystal bracelets, necklaces and glasses, with white transparent body crystal without impurities as the main raw material. However, crystals containing impurities and inclusions are randomly discarded as garbage. The products of the whole industry can be described as the same, with a single variety, which does not reflect the characteristics of crystal ornaments. Unexpectedly, however, the rise of crystal industry and crystal culture stems from a crystal with inclusions only the size of a matchbox.

1990 On a summer afternoon, Zhu Jingqiang strolled to the crystal trading market in the East China Sea, and a crystal rubble merchant sold him a titanium-containing crystal weighing only over 200 grams (the surface of this crystal is covered with a skin similar to the appearance of a stone, so it is difficult for the naked eye to distinguish the internal situation). At that time, I saw from the broken corner that there were several radial golden hair bundles with a white crystal of about 4 mm wrapped at the end. The professional name is secondary crystallization, which is amazing. I fell in love with this stone quietly and asked the price: "How much" and "12 yuan" bought it at 12 yuan, and there was no counter-offer. When I got home, I watched and thought about this crystal. "The appearance is wrapped in an ugly skin and you can't see the internal structure. How can I dig out the beauty of this crystal to a greater extent? " Out of curiosity and impatience, he immediately asked a professional to polish it, and according to its basic characteristics, it was polished into an oval crystal ball with a circle as the guide. After polishing, the crystal clearly presents several columnar golden hairs, and the white crystals at the straight ends are obliquely arranged. The person who helped with the processing suggested removing the white crystal, but Zhu Jingqiang disagreed. He felt that this dot made the magic of the crystal itself more unique. It looks like some pictures in the dreamland, but after careful study, it looks like Halley's comet. After a long time, it is finally named after it. At this point, the first crystal industry in Donghai County was given a cultural name, which set off a magnificent wave in China. Later, Halley's Comet was brought to the Southeast Asia Jewelry Fair, and the price was 300 yuan. Because most people don't know about crystals, they dare not accept them rashly. After a few days, no one wanted it, so they took it back. (Today, someone in the industry talked about this topic and said with emotion: "Fortunately, it was not sold at that time, otherwise the crystal ornamental stone market and crystal culture would be delayed for many years." A jewelry exhibition held in Zhengzhou completely changed the fate of Halley's comet. A foreign businessman tried to bid 6,000 yuan for himself, ranging from 300 yuan to 6,000 yuan, which really made people see the potential extraordinary value of this stone. There is a saying: "Gold is valuable, but jade (stone) is priceless." This time Zhu Jingqiang hesitated and didn't sell it. Later, Halley's Comet was exhibited in Beijing, and a Korean businessman offered 10,000 yuan. In the 1990s, ten thousand households all over the country were highly sought after by the public. More than 200 grams of small crystal sold for 10 thousand yuan. This incident quickly became the number one news in the East China Sea and crystal industry in Tian Zi. The news spread like wildfire, and the media rushed to report it. People's Daily, Xinhua Daily, China Geology and Mineral News and many other media published this news.

A stone stirs up a thousand waves. Since then, many people in the East China Sea have turned their aesthetic eyes to crystals that their ancestors never had. People have taken an auspicious and charming name for all-encompassing crystals of different sizes and shapes, or poems of Tang and Song Dynasties, or historical allusions, or humorous and solemn. Pieces of stones were endowed with fresh and elegant cultural connotation and sold at high prices. Since then, people have rushed to join the ranks of crystals.

There is a scene in the crystal, and everything in the world can find a similar miniature in the inclusion of the crystal. Teacher Zhu said: "The scenery lies in discovery", and the key is to discover with your heart. Later, people asked Mr. Zhu to name his crystal. Shi Jing's Hometown of the Sun is a classic example. A beginner in the crystal industry bought a fist-sized crystal, and specially found Mr. Zhu to give this stone a name. This crystal has green hair crystals on top and red hair crystals on the bottom. The green part is like lush mountain plants, and the red part is like volcanic eruption or colorful clouds all over the sky. Everyone present is talking about the situation, but it's not satisfactory. After some observation and consideration, Zhu Jingqiang suggested naming it "the hometown of the sun". Because it is true, kind, beautiful and elegant, the voice just fell and everyone present applauded. It is said that this ornamental stone sold for hundreds of thousands. Nowadays, the crystal ornamental stones beautified by Mr. Zhu are called classics, which are the values given to crystals by culture. Its pioneer is Zhu Jingqiang, and his popularizer is also Zhu Jingqiang. He completed this move in the first time when the East China Sea crystal industry developed, and his name is destined to be recorded in the history of the development of the East China Sea crystal industry.
