Senior craftsman Cheng Longhui from
Jiangxi, 16 years old began to work as an apprentice in the jade carving
factory, and came to Huaan in 1997, witnessed the ups and downs of Huaan jade
industry. He said that in recent years, he has devoted himself to exploring the organic
combination of ornamental stone and jade carving, that is, local
sculpture. Huaan jade can be divided into two categories: pure natural
ornamental stone and artificial jade sculpture.
Traditionally, ornamental stones were not allowed to be processed, and a large
number of ornamental stones were more common. In fact, this kind of ornamental
stone, as long as make a point of processing in the local, we can add the finishing touch, greatly enhance its artistic and
ornamental. For example, a nature texture of a freely flowing style of writing
of ornamental stone, with Chinese traditional landscape paintings conception,
if the stone carving with a boat and two birds, the whole picture of prose can
get bigger promotion.

Reporters watch a work of Cheng
Longhui "a quiet and modest maiden, a gentleman’s good mate”. I saw the
red color of ornamental stones in the lower right, like a man wearing a black
robe is just above his left hand and bow, have a natural woman's hair, and
Cheng Longhui under the women's hair with carved body, and a gurgling water
across between the two natural texture, formed a wonderful atmosphere.

Steering deep processing
Based on technological
innovation, to reduce timber consumption and energy consumption, green
development and promote transformation.
In Hefa jade company and exhibit hall,
the reporter saw a dark green Hanan jade produced by Huaan Earth Building of
Eiry Tower Restaurant, the exquisite model, little and dainty.
Executive director of the company Li Gaowei said that this can be placed at
home as crafts, can also be loaded tea leaves, "Huaan three treasures"
(earth building, Tieguanyin, Huaan jade) are covered. Another name is "lofty
mountains and flowing water" with the form of the water cycle is also
quite compelling. I saw a small waterfall from the
mountain diarrhea to the pond under the mountain, smart flying, full of
vitality. According to introduction, besides making handicrafts, it can also be
used to increase the humidity of indoor air.
The 30-year-old Li Gaowei has been
studied abroad in Australia, returning to inherit his father’s cause in 2013.
He saw, many local enterprises focus on the development of tables and chairs,
decorations, building materials and other large objects, a large number of waste materials are wasted, and the added value of the product is not high. The past two years, building
materials market downturn, he began to actively promote the business process from
roughing to fine development, which are both practical and
ornamental home furnishing small supplies, health
care products development, to close to the majority of the
family's needs. After the transformation, make the most of a
large number of discarded bits and pieces, the added value of the products
was greatly improved. He picked up a beautiful pendant told
reporters: "this is only 28 grams of weight, but profit margins can reach 100%; and the original set of a few hundred kilograms of tables and
chairs, profit margins of only 20%."

Li Gaowei said, to achieve
intensive processing, can not be separated from the progress of science and
technology support. For example, make a small pendant, need to develop new
engraving technology, otherwise used to heavy machine processing tables do not
come out. Such as make the vase, need to dig a hole, the past can only be done
by hand cut, not standard, spend half a day to dig a hole, but also easy to
hurt; last month the company developed the other wheel, can be very standard,
fine, dig a hole just spend 1 hours.
Cheng Longhui’s
production site
More than two years, and jade invested
about 2 million Yuan for technological innovation, the company received a
number of technical patents. In the production
workshop, the reporter saw, in the automatic control of the
machine, a wire rope is cutting Huaan jade plate. According to reports, in the
past by workers with electric large circular cutting, both dangerous and low
efficiency, cutting is not standard. Since the beginning of last
year, the company used automatic steel rope cutting technology, compared with
the original, efficiency doubled, power and other energy consumption reduced
by half, and the average per ton of stone may cut more than 13% of
the plate.
"Through technological innovation,
jade resources will be more fully
utilized, and greatly reduce the waste and dust pollution
during processing, and promote the green development of the industry"."
Li Gaowei says.
