When it comes to choosing names, I have to say that the Chinese have too many things to refer to. For example, when choosing names now, many of them refer to ancient books such as Chu Ci and The Book of Songs. This leads to one thing, the same The more connotative words coincide with each other.
According to the statistics of naming characters, among the 5 million newborn names in 2017, the most popular characters were "Xuan", "Han" and "Zi" in order.
When this group of people grow up, if the teacher calls out a name and three or four students stand up at once, will it be awkward?
And not just people’s names, all walks of life have their own unique preferences for names. Such as stone.
In terms of stone varieties, there are now more than 2,000 stone varieties accumulated in stone industrial parks in Guangdong, Fujian and other provinces and cities? This is all because Chinese stone companies are now looking for mines all over the world, mining them, and transporting them to China. The accumulation of massive varieties is enough to make merchants from traditional "stone kingdoms" such as Italy and Spain stunned.
With so many varieties, this is also a happy worry for consumers. There are so many things in front of you that your eyes sparkle and you are dazzled, but you don’t know what to choose. Especially when there are so many varieties, naming them is also very troublesome. So, now let’s talk about the naming of this stone.
1. There are only 3 kinds of rocks on the earth
If you want to know the name of stone, you must first know what stone is and where it comes from.
1. Igneous rock: also called magmatic rock. The high temperature and pressure inside the earth puts the rocks in a state of magma. The magma erupts to the ground and cools to form igneous rocks.
2. Sedimentary rocks: Located not too deep on the earth's surface, they are formed by being transported and accumulated by water flows or glaciers. They are either layered or clastic.
3. Metamorphic rock: a new type of rock transformed by the internal forces of the earth. Under the influence of pressure and temperature inside the earth, solid rocks undergo migration and recrystallization of material components to form new mineral combinations. For example: Marble is the product of limestone metamorphosis. Jade is also a metamorphic rock.
2. The origin of the name of stone
There are only these three diagenetic mechanisms, but these three effects plus a variety of minerals will take hundreds of millions of years. This results in ever-changing and beautiful stone products. Therefore, stones are not mysterious, they have these three principles. Stones are also very precious, because each piece of stone takes hundreds of millions of years to form.
How are so many stones named?
In summary, there are the following naming methods.
1. National standard naming
In 1999, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the National Standardization Committee promulgated and implemented the "Uniform Numbering of Natural Stones". At that time, 312 types of stones were recorded. It was revised again in 2008, and a new edition was officially released in 2009. At that time, more than 690 types of stone materials were included. The national standard naming principles are as follows:
①The first letter is capitalized, representing the type of stone. Granite is G and marble is M.
②The first two digits are the province code.
③The last two digits are the serial number of the stone in the province.
For example: G603, Jinjiang Bacuobai, G represents granite, 60 is the code of Fujian Province, and 3 represents the number included in the standard. But Jinjiang Bacuobai also has a new set of numbers, which is G3503; 35 is the new code in Fujian. The serial number of 03 has not changed.
Obviously, this coding was developed earlier and is no longer suitable for the rapid development of the current stone industry. There are hundreds of thousands of stones, and the number update cannot keep up.
2. Origin + color nomenclature
The more common naming is simple, direct, and easy to remember, such as: Xinjiang Shanshan Red, Fujian Wuyi Red, Liaoning Dandong Green, Guizhou wood grain, Yunnan beige, Spanish beige and other stone materials.
3. Pictographic nomenclature
Granite is also called "granite", and marble is also called "marble".
This name comes from the fact that the granite looks numb, but the texture of the marble looks like mist. It can be seen that using pictographic naming is a common method. Typical examples are: black and white dragon, silver white root, rosin jade, etc.
4. Pictogram + color nomenclature
Adding pictograms to colors makes the expression richer. Such as Xinjiang Star Blue, Fujian Wuyi Blue Ice Flower, Hunan Cili Tiger Skin Yellow, Jiangsu Yixing Red Cream, Yunnan White Begonia and other stones.
5. Nomenclature of noble names
This nomenclature is used for imported stones, such as Shaanna Beige, produced in Iran. Originally it was just a very ordinary beige stone, but after giving it a name, it immediately gave it a sense of elegance and nobility, and it must be extremely attractive to consumers. There are other aristocratic names: Brazilian Queen White, Princess Golden Hemp, Italian Green Queen White, Indian Columbus Hemp and so on.
6. Imaginative Nomenclature
When the Internet era comes, massive information impacts people's way of thinking, concepts begin to change, and the pursuit of individualization is increasingly recognized by people. And choices, at this time imaginative names appear, which can not only satisfy their own hobbies, but also attract the attention of consumers. In this way, some boldly innovative and unique stone names appear. For example, typical: Obama wood grain.
7. Transliteration nomenclature
This method is also applicable to imported stones, such as Ultraman Beige, OTTOMAN GEIGE, which is transliterated as Ultraman Beige, produced in Turkey. Natural marble stone. Another example: Kalarabai, Shaanna, etc.
?
?There are other messy names, such as the ancient name + color nomenclature, Guan Yuhong, Zhang Feihei. No matter what the name is, it cannot be based on the two basics of origin and color. Moreover, as long as you like it, you can call it whatever you like, right?
Conclusion
?Stone is not far away from everyone. It is not a mysterious material. After understanding the raw material source and naming method of stone, I believe everyone will have a better understanding of this material. This can be used as a reference for viewing and selecting stone in the future.
