Fujian Shoushan stone carvings are famous both at home and abroad for their long history and unique style. As far back as 1,500 years ago in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, our ancestors could use simple lines like hooks, halberds and sharp swords to carve burial carvings (such as Shoushan stone pigs) on Shoushan stone, which laid the foundation for Shoushan stone carving. After passing down the skills for several generations, Shoushan stone carving has developed from stone carvings to various creations such as seals, buttons, stationery, animals, figures, etc. It can also be designed according to the shape and quality of the stone and the materials used. In the Qing Dynasty, many famous craftsmen emerged in Shoushan stone carving. During the Kangxi and Qianlong years, Yang Yuxuan and Zhou Shang were both famous stone carvers in Shoushan in central Fujian. The "Arhat Crouching with a Lion" now stored in the Palace Museum in Beijing was carved by Tian Huangshi, with the Chinese character "Yuxuan" written in inscriptions on the bottom. The character's expression is lifelike, and the work's sword skills are vigorous. It is really "the skill of wielding the sword is as good as a ghost's workmanship". Following Yang Yuxuan, Zhou Bin (also known as Shangjun) was good at engraving seal buttons. The seal buttons he created were known as "Shangjun buttons" and became famous for a time. Their style is simple, mostly standing animals, with freehand landscapes carved in between. During the Tongzhi and Guangxu years, there were Pan Yumao from Fengwei Township in Ximen, Fuzhou, Lin Qianpei from Houyu Township in Dongmen, and their disciple Lin Yuanzhu.
