Tian Huangshi, referred to as "Tian Huang" for short, is named after being yellow under the rice fields on both sides of Shoushan River in Shoushan Township, Fuzhou City. Excellent varieties of Shoushan stone. Tian Huangshi in a broad sense refers to "Tiankeng Stone", and Tian Huangshi in a narrow sense refers to those who turn yellow in Tiankeng Stone. In terms of physical properties and technological characteristics, Tian Huangshi is similar to Shoushan Stone and has become an independent Yin Zhangshi variety.
Shoushan Township, the northern mountainous area of Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, has a mountain stream with a length of more than 1 km and a width of more than 200 meters, which is the origin of Tian Huangshi. It is separated from the stone vein and forms a block independently. It has been buried for a long time by SARS, and it is a stone with "no root and no pulse to find". Tian Huangshi is divided into three sections: Shangban, Zhongban and Xiaban. Shangban is near the upper reaches of the stream. The Tian Huangshi produced here is highly transparent and inspiring, with a slightly yellow color and a white tone. Because the upstream water source is good, the produced Tian Huangshi is as bright as glass. Tian Huangshi's top grade is called "Gold Covered Silver" and "Tian Baishi", which comes from the upper half. The middle plate is located in the middle of Xihe River. Most of the stones produced are standard, clean and moist, with strong color and clear radish texture. The best stones in Tian Huangshi, such as Tian Huang Liang Stone, Gold and Silver Leopard, Orange Peel Red, Golden, Loquat Yellow and Chicken Oil Yellow, are mostly produced in this class. Xiaban is located in the area of Kengtou, which lacks water washability, so the transparency of stone materials is poor, and most of them are tung oil color, deep ochre color and rough texture.
Mr. Guo (), a master of arts and crafts in China, was the late Mr. Guo. He carved the stunning Tian Huang's thin work "Living in the Mountain" for 36.8 million yuan, which not only set the highest transaction price in the contemporary era, but also set a top price record for Tian Huang with a good performance of 94,400 yuan/gram. This Tian Huang weighs 390 grams, nearly 8 Liang. It is an extremely rare collection in the market in recent years. Many important collectors participated in the auction, which was finally decided by the collector of the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine special number plate, and the audience applauded warmly to express their congratulations. Mr. Guo's other two masterpieces also performed well, among which the round carving ornaments (107g) of Tian Huangshi's You Are Happy were sold for 39 10000 yuan, and the thin carving ornaments (150g) of Tian Huangshi's Lonely West Mountain Tour were sold for 47 15000 yuan.
Tian Huangshi's texture is Procter & Gamble's, transparent and psychic, and the lines in the muscles are faint as silk, obviously detailed, just like ribs. There are several kinds of ribs in Shoushan stone, but there is only one kind of red disk in Tian Huangshi, and the color tone on the surface and inside of a Tian Huangshi may change. Therefore, the value of Tian Huangshi's square seal is higher. Sawing Tian Huangshi into a square chapter was called "stone-solving" by predecessors, and the ancients said that "it is difficult to solve the stone and it is difficult to go to the sky." This is because it is difficult to see whether the tone of Tian Huangshi is consistent from the appearance. When sawing, it may rise several times or the price will plummet.

Tian Huang is known as "three easy as gold". Because of its rarity and high value, as early as the Qing Dynasty, some merchants imitated Tian Huangshi with Lianjiang Yellow. Now the development of science and technology also provides opportunities for counterfeiters. Some lawless elements in the stone market often take advantage of the similarity between Tian Huangshi and some stone species, or shoddy, or confuse the real with the fake, so collectors of Tian Huangshi must be vigilant.
At present, the identification of Tian Huang in Shoushan mainly focuses on Liu De in Tian Huang. Liu De refers to Tian Huang's Liu De, which is fine, warm, moist, clean, greasy and condensed. "Fine: Good stone molecules are so fine that you can't see their particles with a low-power magnifying glass. Wen: At first, I felt mild, not cold. Run: Good stones are very moist and seem to contain a lot of molecular water. Jay: Good stones are pure, with almost no impurities. Tired: Good oiliness, stable stoniness, and minor scratches can be healed by touching. Coagulation: A good stone crystal is pure and contains a lot of molecular water, such as frozen, translucent and even completely transparent. "
The author thinks that the discrimination of Tian Huang should be based on its roots and its old roots. The mother mine of Tianhuang is Alpine Stone, which was separated from the mother mine and upgraded due to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other reasons. After being washed away by rain and streams, it grinds away its fire and shows its perfect side; Finally, I went to the field to accept the integration of various elements in the field. After millions of years of baptism, I reached the final sublimation.
