I. Overview of the development history of Qingtian stone cultural industry
Qingtian stone is rich in reserves and distributed in more than ten towns and villages in qingtian county. The main producing area is from Shankou Town to Fangshan Township, which is called Shankou Pyrophyllite Mine, with high quality and many famous stones. There are many kinds of Qingtian stone, and there are more than 111 famous typical varieties. Qingtian stone is moist as jade, but it has richer colors and more peculiar patterns than jade. Nature dyes almost all colors in Qingtian stone, which makes it show brilliant colors such as blue, white, yellow, red, brown, purple, green, blue, black and flowers. Qingtian stone is not only a rare craft carving material because of its beautiful color and good texture, but also favored by scholars because of its unique crispness and crispness, and has become the first choice of stone for seal engravers in past dynasties.
Qingtian stone carving, as a traditional craft masterpiece, has achieved unprecedented perfection in carving skills, style shaping and artistic conception. In the process of creation, stone carving artists follow the natural characteristics of stone materials, give full play to the originality of artistic conception, apply art according to materials, and play tricks according to colors. In terms of creative techniques, the techniques such as round carving, carving, high-low relief and line carving are alternately used, and the exquisite carving is added to create exquisite crafts with the characteristics of "precision, fineness, beauty, strangeness and truth", thus enhancing the similarity between modeling and natural objects, which is called wonderful workmanship.
Qingtian stone carving is a bright pearl in the treasure house of folk art with a long history. Now it can be verified that the earliest work is "Qingtian Shihuang" unearthed in Huzhou during the Songze culture period, about 6111 years ago. The Zhejiang Provincial Museum has a collection of small stone pigs carved in Qingtian in the Six Dynasties, which records the historical traces of Qingtian stone carvings 1,511 years ago.
During the Tang and Song Dynasties, Qingtian stone carving made great progress. The discovery of Qingtian stone carvings in the Five Dynasties Wu Yueguo period in Longquan Twin Towers shows that the themes and techniques of Qingtian stone carvings in the Tang Dynasty have made a breakthrough.

Qingtian Stone has made an indelible contribution to seal cutting.
in the Qing dynasty and the early Republic of China, Qingtian stone carving was repeatedly selected as a tribute as a famous product in the south of the Yangtze river. Ministers made a set (61 pieces) of "Bao Dian Fu Shu" seals with Qingtian stone carvings as a birthday present (now in the Palace Museum in Beijing) during the 81th Longevity Festival. With the opening of ocean trade, Qingtian stone carvings have been exported to Britain, the United States and France, participated in international competitions for many times, and won prizes at the Paris Games in 1899, the Belgian Games in 1915 and the Pacific World Expo in 1915. In the second year of Xuantong, Qingtian Stone Carving won the silver medal at the Nanyang Persuasion Meeting held in Nanjing.
After the founding of New China, Qingtian Stone Carving has been selected as a national gift to foreign leaders for many times. For example, voroshilov, Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union, visited in April, 1956, Indonesian President Su Jianuo visited in October, 1972, American President Nixon visited in October, and Chinese leaders visited North Korea in 1978.
