I live in Yiwu. 75,000 booths, buyers from 230 countries.
I have watched this for years. They load container after container and take China away with them — but they buy the object, and nobody buys the meaning.
A feng shui tree that costs 3 dollars sells in Los Angeles for 139. The story printed on it was written by someone who has never been to China.
We don’t promise anything will happen. We just make the object that was always supposed to carry the intention.
So THE QIYUN is a small workshop that buys its stones from the same market as everyone else, and then does the part that gets skipped: the origin written on the card, the macro photograph, the hands that made it, and a line for whatever it is you are setting aside.
