In ancient times, Lantian jade can be used to produce a large number of court royal art jade rabbits, jade turtles, etc., followed by the production of bowls, cups, wine sets, stationery, fitness balls, bracelets and so on. Jade, similar to Lantian jade, is used extensively throughout the country to make some art, such as pillows, murals, and many strange things or practical items. Because of its large block size, it produces more large jade articles .
Today, almost a few of the Lantian jade crafts processed by local artisans are from the local jade in Lantian. An old craftsman said with emotion: "Lantian is really no jade, and the jade mining in the county is almost completely stopped. The jade mine does not allow the sale of detonators and explosives. Now the raw materials of Lantian jade are almost from Shangzhou and Luonan. ."
In addition, the quality of jade is also a problem, and it is also difficult for artisan technicians to use Lantian jade to sculpt handicrafts. The quality of the new jade makes them headache: the hardness is not high, the density is very low, the jade is rough and fragile, not warm enough, it is difficult to sculpted. Huang Shifu, a retired female technician in Xi'an Jade Carving Factory, has carved hundreds of exquisite jade articles. Among the many jade raw materials, she is most afraid of using Lantian jade. She told reporters: "Lantian jade can only engrave some large ornaments, small carved ones. The pendant can't be pinched in your hand, it's too fine."
Jade expert Jia Maiming believes that the Lantian jade used in the Han Dynasty jade is very different from the modern Lantian jade. The unearthed jade jade in the Han Dynasty is warm, while the modern Lantian jade looks more like a stone. He inferred that the land of the Han Dynasty craftsmen should not be in the same place as the modern jade mine, but he did not know where he was. He could only hope that future generations would be fortunate to find this treasure chest, so that the real Lantian Meiyu would see the sky again.
