Pictographic stone refers to a natural stone that has not been artificially polished. Good pictographic stones are very rare, and all the stone collectors in the past dynasties listed pictographic stones as the first choice. The pictographic stone must have a proper proportion, complete appearance, dynamic appearance, smooth lines, clear outline and both shapes and spirits. Only those who meet the above aesthetic conditions are the best pictographic stones, such as Dongpo Meat, Chicken Out of the Shell with an evaluation price of/kloc-0.30 billion, agate stone, and Laibin stone, Maitreya Buddha.

Personally, I think that pictographic stones are exquisite, thin, leaky, wrinkled, transparent, harmonious, shape, color, grain and rhyme, which are valuable and collectible stones. Common pictographs include figures, animals, landscapes and artifacts.
