Forming the initial stage At the beginning of the 19th century, Shanghai became an important port for trade between China and the world, so that jade products from Suzhou, Yangzhou and its surrounding areas were exported through the Shanghai Port. This situation provided a broad space for the Shanghai jade carving industry. Development space. There are a large number of sculpture artists from Suzhou and Yangzhou, and they have found an ideal place to display their talents in this oriental metropolis.
