China Ornamental Stone 3

The hidden stones of the Jin family are not the most or the best in Alashan, but the Jin family is famous in Alashan, even in China, and even in the world of stone appreciation abroad. Maybe Jin Wuyi's name is easier to remember than his brothers' Mongolian names. Anyway, stone players all know desert stone, agate, desert paint, red, green and topaz, and there is no one who doesn't know Jin Wuyi.

When I first met this Mongolian man 1.8 meters high, he was as shy as a child. Maybe this is a kind of sincerity! Because of the time, I started an interview on the way. Jin Wuyi is very straightforward: "I have nothing to do, so I will make stones." They call appreciating, hiding, quarrying and buying and selling stones "making stones". Jin Wuyi had to catch a plane to "build rocks" in Guangxi, but he couldn't take me there, so he entrusted me to one of his buddies, Liu Dajun. He didn't travel, but built rocks, so he sent me to the Jin family. When he left, Jin Wuyi said sincerely: "I have nothing to do. If you want to write, write about my father! " "

Jin Wuyi's old mother, Arige Jidema, is over 70 years old this year. Old Jill greeted me with a cordial smile and has prepared milk tea, cheese and various Mongolian snacks. The army told me that old Ejinahan spoke badly.

Looking around the Kim family, from the corridor to the room, the photos on the wall attracted my attention. The military said that all this was taken by Brother May 13th and eco-photographer Bagen Hasi. To cooperate with my interview, he drove back from Hohhot! I'm a little disappointed. The Kim family is not the beautiful stone I imagined. There is a huge aquarium in the living room, and the seawater ornamental fish swim around happily. It is not difficult to see that this family is harmonious, warm and fashionable. People who hide stones naturally have good stones, and a few strange stones in the living room were put by old Jin Man before his death.

Another big fellow came in. He is Enke Tuvshinghiin, the eldest brother of Jin Wuyi, a retired prosecutor and now a farmer. He just came back from a farm more than 20 kilometers away by motorcycle. Third brother Bagen Hasi came in later, with shoulder-length hair, a photographer's unique temperament. With the highest courtesy, the younger brother Jinshan cooked a delicious table for me at home.

Erejidema volunteered to teach primary and secondary school students to sing the original Mongolian long tune at noon every day.

After dinner, my eldest brother Ngetubuxin said to me, "I will accompany you. Just ask. " I was moved by his frankness and sincerity. Third brother Bagen Hasi took out his photo album, and I enjoyed these powerful photos of the ecological environment. Suddenly, a melodious Mongolian long tune came from the next room. Bagen Hasi said that her mother is teaching several primary school students to sing Mongolian long tune, and she volunteered to teach for one hour at noon every day. Mother is the only folk artist who can sing more than 100 original Mongolian long tunes. The relevant departments of the autonomous region are sorting out her information and applying for intangible cultural heritage. Erzig Gidema married Jin Suyile on 1949, and they have eight children. She is a typical wife and mother, caring for her husband, educating her children and helping her husband realize one dream after another. The sudden departure of his wife reduced her spirit by half, and only singing a melodious and euphemistic Mongolian long tune entrusted her grief and melancholy.

Jin Wuyi's old father, Jin Suyile, is regarded as "old Jin Man". This venerable old man in Alashan suddenly left his relatives and so many people who needed his help because of an unexpected traffic accident two years ago.

Kim So Yi Le is a retired veteran cadre. If the Alashan ornamental stone market is so hot today, Jinsu Yile is the first person to light this fire.

As early as 1950s, Jin Suyile participated in the border reconnaissance between China and Mongolia as a civil affairs cadre, rode a camel to Ejina Banner, and walked with the team of the Republic of Mongolia on the vast Gobi Desert for more than a month. On the Gobi desert, stones of various colors and shapes, large and small, are colorful and shine against the sunshine, blue sky and white clouds. Jin Suyile was stunned by the scenery in front of her, so she picked up one stone after another. He likes these stones very much. But he picked up and picked up, but only picked up some pebbles. He knows that, according to their Mongolian customs, when walking on the Gobi Desert, any large stones, trees and other marked things can't move at will. They may be signs of passers-by. The vast Gobi is covered with beautiful stones, like petals sown by a goddess ... Kim So Yi has successfully completed his works with beautiful stones, and the stones have deeply taken root in his mind.

Kim So Yi is eager to help people who come for advice.

Jin Suyile is picking up stones on the Gobi Desert.

Times change, anti-Rightists, natural disasters, four clean-ups, the Cultural Revolution ... political movements one after another and the family life burden of raising eight children put double pressure on Jin Suyile. But his good impression of stones and optimistic and open-minded personality have always given him firm confidence in life. He can't forget those beautiful stones. When the children were young, he took them to find beautiful stones. He wants the children to enjoy the happiness brought by stones with him.

Jin Su Yile's love for picking stones influenced his children and inspired everyone around him. Faced with a wide variety of stones with ornamental value, Kim So Yi Le knew that the stones here contained great commercial value, and at the same time realized that once this kind of stones entered the commodity circulation field, there would be uncontrollable competition and even plunder. He said to the children, "We Jin family can only pick up stones, but can't dig." They sold the stone they picked up, which once sold for 30 thousand yuan. Jin Suyile realized more clearly that this stone could change the poverty and backwardness of Alashan. He not only makes stones by himself, but also drives relatives and friends to do them, and even leads people with difficulties in life to do them; When there were more stones, he helped to find the market and taught some knowledge about ornamental stones. Jin Suyile became a well-known "wise man" for a while. At present, there are many big stonemasons, and it is under his guidance that they gradually embarked on the road of getting rich.

The Alashan stone stepped out of the desert Gobi and quickly swept Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong, affecting Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and overseas. The strange stones in Alashan are collectively called "desert strange stones", which have become the hottest stones in the stone appreciation field because of their peculiar shape, quality and color and scarce reserves.

The ecological environment of Alashan makes Jin Suyile very worried: the natural environment is not good, and the stones on the ground have been basically picked up, so people began to dig underground. In 2002, at the closing ceremony of the 4th Asian Art Festival "The Call of Life", the concert of environmental protection theme works and the photo exhibition of ecological environment, Kim So Yi Le led his family to participate in this activity, and some of his performances were created by his second son, enkhbayar. enkhbayar was a musician who won the gold medal in the World Chorus Games at the Vienna Olympic Games. At the same time, photos taken by Bagen Hasi, the third son of an eco-environmental photographer who won the National Environmental Protection Award, are also on display. Kim So Yi Le is very pleased that he can make some contribution to protecting the ecological environment.

Father Kim has left, and many unfinished things are being done by his eight children. In April, 2006, Jin Wuyi and his eldest brother Enketubu both won the New Stone Gold Award at the Chencun International Flower Bonsai Expo in Guangdong. The boss also traded a stone for an SUV. He said: "I want to drive my mother to Altay, Xinjiang, to find roots in the birthplace of the Mongolian Elut tribe more than 300 years ago. Play while walking, while picking stones. " The second child, enkhbayar, is now studying at the Mongolian National Conservatory of Music. As usual, the third child carries his camera and often haunts the worst environmental conditions in the Gobi Desert. Old four Jin Wuyi is busy with the affairs of the association, while busy with his own career and constantly developing his own career. Jinshan, Kim's parents, is a fashion school among modern people and a well-known electric bass in Guangdong. This year, he went to Mongolia and Kanas Lake in Xinjiang to look for the living fossils of traditional music-"Humai" and "Kuer" (the primitive of Tuwa Mongolian music). Tuwa Mongolians are the only tribe that can play "Chur" (a musical instrument made of reed roots). It is said that the euphemistic melody played by this instrument can make the two warring armies demoralized and unwilling to go to war. Jinshan visited with persistence and sincerity, and learned the true original ecology of Humai and Chu Er. He is another strong man in the Kim family. The three daughters of the Kim family are all beautiful, gentle and virtuous. Whether she is a herdsman's sister, a judge's second sister, or a sister Ulan Gao Wa who travels to Japan, she is a strong person. Eight brothers and sisters also make stones, and they are all our stone friends.
