Bloodstone is named for the bright red-colored cinnabar in stone. Bloodstone has been mined in the Song Dynasty. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the emperor favored the literati and cherished it.

The most famous bloodstone is named Changhua Bloodstone and Bahrain Bloodstone. According to the texture, it is generally divided into 4 categories: frozen stone, soft ground, soft steel plate floor and hard steel plate floor, among which the frozen and soft ground belongs to the top grade and top grade of soapstone, which is tied with Shoushan Tianhuang and enjoys the “Queen of Seals”. The good name.

As a niche auction category, bloodstone is scarce and non-renewable. In recent years, as the acceptance of bloodstone from buyers gradually increases, the bloodstone market continues to rise.

According to the inaccurate statistics of the Yachang Art Market Monitoring Center, from January 1, 2000 to September 2012, the total number of bloodstains was taken 3,048 times, with 1,228 transactions, and the total turnover was 2,25,678,000 yuan (including the number of pieces repeated ). Among them, 4 are more than 10 million yuan, 1 is between 5 million and 10 million yuan, and 36 are between 1 million and 5 million. Prior to the spring of 2007, bloodstains were dominated by private transactions and cultural relics stores, with few records of entering the auction venue. From the autumn of 2007, its market transactions began to increase, and by the autumn of 2011, its market reached a commanding height. In the quarter, 870 shots were taken, 420 transactions were completed, and the turnover was 74.935 million yuan.

“Da Hong Pao” temporarily listed the first “Donghua Daoshui Stone Carvings” in Beijing Hanhai Autumn Auction on December 16, 2007. It sold for 13.44 million yuan and temporarily ranked first in the auction. The auction was 28.1cm long, which was described as a "giant" in the bloodstone, and it was also known as "Dahongpao" with its bloody layout. In addition, the famous artists played in accordance with the material, carved according to the layout, and the performance of the racquet was impressive. However, this kind of combination is rare, and the top-level bloodstone auctions are just like the other categories. High-priced transactions are more orphaned and do not represent the overall situation of the bloodstone market. Whether it is a heritage store, a private transaction or an auction site, the main players in the bloodstone market are concentrated in high-end and high-end works.

The first bloodstone launch was on the July 17th, 2011 Xiling Yinshe Auction Co., Ltd.'s spring auction. There were 77 pieces of 88 lots with a total turnover of 32,329,900 yuan, of which "Bahrain Bloodstone Blood King Decoration" was The transaction price of RMB 12,050,000 was the highest price in the whole game, and was the second highest price auction for soapstone sold so far.

Changhua Bahrain is "Orthodox"

As can be seen from the list of top10, Changhua's bloodstone accounted for 7 seats and Bahrain's bloodstone accounted for 3 seats. These two categories are regarded as the orthodox of bloodstone, and other bloodstones such as Guizhou and Xi'an Xunyang are still outside the mainstream collection circle. Changhua Bloodstone is a unique and precious stone species in China. It is hailed as one of the "Four Great Stones," and Tian Huangshi and Furong Stone are also known as the "Three Treasures". Therefore, Changhua's bloodstone is more enthusiastic than other types of bloodstone. The reason why Chang Fossil has become famous earlier in the world is not only its outstanding material quality, but also its geographical location. Changhua bloodstone production area in the junction of Zhejiang and Fujian, as early as the Ming and Qing Dynasties and ** period, the ancient Huizhou cultural circle appeared a number of engraved everyone, so with the opening of the carving culture spread, and Guizhou bloodstone and Xi'an bloodstone is not less beautiful than the color Changhua Bahrain, but due to its high quality, it was useless to the literati and the seal cutting family, and the cultural content it could carry was reduced accordingly. From this point of view, the factors that affect the auction market price can be described as diverse.

Market performance is not crazy The bloodstone market has risen in recent years, and high-end boutiques also have amazing transaction prices. However, overall market performance is not crazy. This can be attributed to "rigid demand". Bloodstone audience is relatively small, mostly for the literati as a seal material collection to play. A piece of bloodstone from mining to engraving into a person’s collection may no longer enter the market. Although there is no exact statistical data for this part, according to research, this part accounts for a considerable proportion of transactions in the bloodstone market. Second, bloodstone is generally used as a gift between literati friends. Many times the market circulation, it seems not so impetuous, that is, the auction property of the bloodstone is relatively weak.

For the collection of chicken bloodstone and investment selection direction, most collectors believe that the original stone is their first choice. Changhua bloodstone was mined very early and is now very rare and is about to enter depletion. Although the real-quality Changhua bloodstone has stable market value and relatively large room for growth, for the average investor, the high-end Changhua bloodstone may be somewhat unpredictable; Bahrain bloodstone mining in the 1980s There are still follow-up mineral resources. Although the color of the blood is easily affected by the acquired factors and fades, it is more suitable for the seal engraving than the Changshi fossil in terms of material quality, and it is more practical to operate from the Bahrain Bloodstone.
