In ancient China, malachite was referred to as "lüqing," "shilü," or "qinglanggan." Malachite is an ancient jade material and pigment. As early as the Shang Dynasty in the 13th century BC, the Chinese used malachite to craft handicrafts such as jade hairpins. The blue and green pigments in traditional Chinese paintings were made from azurite (also known as "shiqing") and malachite (also called "shilü"). Major sources of malachite worldwide include Russia, Australia, and Brazil. In China, the primary malachite-producing areas are Yangchun in Guangdong and Tonglushan in Daye, Hubei (now under the jurisdiction of Huangshi City). Yet few would imagine that this very place—Tonglushan in Daye, Hubei—is the cradle of China’s Bronze Age culture, marking the dawn of human civilization. According to the Qing-era *Daye County Annals*: “Tonglushan is located five li west of the county at Majiaobao, where the mountain top is flat and huge rocks stand opposite each other. After heavy rains, copper-green hues resembling snowflakes and tiny plants dot the soil and stones, and beneath these 'copper flowers' lie copper ores or malachite.” In the early 1980s, during copper mining operations at the Daye Tonglushan mine, an “ancient mining and metallurgy site” was discovered. It was later identified by experts both in China and abroad as a 3,000-year-old site, hailed as a “marvel” of mining and metallurgy, and acclaimed by academia as the “Ninth Wonder of the World.” In 1994, the Tonglushan Ancient Mining and Metallurgy Site was listed as a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level in China—one of only such ancient copper mine sites—and has since attracted global attention.
