Harking back to a tradition that endured for thousands of years, China revived the culture of freshwater pearls in the tributaries and canals of the Yangtsekiang River some time ago.
Freshwater mussels in the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere have produced freshwater pearls of great value, as for example those from the Mississippi River.
The goods were assessed and traded in the market at Hepu, and then joined the local production of pearls for portage to the West River and then by the rivers and canals to the north.
