Stones come from mountains and stones come from water. China has a vast territory, complex geological structure and rich ornamental stone resources. The famous mountains and rivers, rivers, lakes and seas of the motherland are full of stones. Since ancient times, China people have forged an indissoluble bond with stones. archaic
People have stones played by the ancients, and today people have stones played by today people. The Stone Spectrum of Yunlin in in Song Dynasty lists 1 16 kinds, and puts forward his own opinions. How many stones do people play with today? Geologists tell us that there are many! Due to space-time barriers, information
Not well, many stones have never been known, let alone seen. Some stones are still recognized as famous stones. Know the weight of these stones!
The so-called famous stone has its timeliness and regionality. It was a famous stone at that time, but it may not be now. It was not a very famous stone at that time, but it may be at this time; What is considered a famous stone may be considered worthless here, and vice versa. Plus culture, customs, people's feelings and other reasons.
Sue, that's even harder to say. A says Lingbi stone is the best in the world, B says Liuzhou stone is the best in the world, and C says Chaozhou wax stone is the best in the world. That depends on recognition. At present, stone appreciation circles agree that Lingbi Stone, Taihu Stone, Quartz Stone and Kunshi Stone are the four famous stones in China. These are probably the four most vital ornamental stones. There is a book called Shi Pu, which puts forward ten famous stones in China since ancient times, that is, on the basis of the four famous stones, Shi Zhongshan Stone (Jiangxi), Daozhou Stone (Hunan), Qingzhou Stone (Shandong), Lv Linshi (Henan), Huakai Stone (Zhejiang) and Changshan Stone (Zhejiang) have been added. It is predicted that the new modern famous stones may be Taohua Stone in Hunan, Shi Xue in Gan Yang, Xinjiang, Baiheshi in Hubei, Chrysanthemum Stone in Hunan, Guanggreenstone in Guangdong, Purple robe jade belt stone in Guizhou, Xiongjingshi, Zhushashi, Lapis lazuli in Sichuan and Laoshan greenstone in Shandong. * * * Ten kinds of stones.
