The so-called Lingbi Stone, also known as the Chime Stone, is one of my country's traditional ornamental stones and has been used as a tribute as early as the Warring States Period. Lingbi stone is a wonder in the world. It has unique charm and is famous far and wide. Its natural workmanship has exerted a strong influence on stone appreciation at home and abroad in ancient and modern times. The characteristics of Lingbi stone are mainly summarized as three strange things and five strange things. A strange color. It is as black as jet jade, can be polished to mirror white, and is as moist as mutton fat. It is like a white cloud. The colors of the stone are red, yellow, blue and blue. It is so beautiful.
The two oddities are voices. Just like gold vibrating and jade ringing, there has always been a saying about the sound of gold and stone. The buckle has a sound, and the eight harmonic notes are restrained. Lingbi chimes stand out among classical musical instruments and have always been loved by the royal court. It can be made into braided chimes, vertical chimes, special chimes, fish chimes, etc.
Three oddities are the quality. Among all the strange stones, Lingbi stone has the best hardness and is in the middle, making it the most conducive to long-term collection. The quality of the stone has been determined by relevant departments and it has no radioactive material or harmful chemical components. According to the laboratory analysis of the National Building Materials Testing Center, Lingbi Stone contains more than ten trace elements that are beneficial to human health, especially the high content of strontium, which has the effects of promoting human health, anti-cancer and increasing life span. One blame is thinness. The body is thin and graceful, but the reality is hollow. It's called masculinity. As far as the stone body is concerned, it has all the edges and corners, is hard and slender, has a strong center, is not swollen or tired, and has a strong backbone.
The two monsters are Toru. The holes are open and penetrating, exquisite and clear. The rocks are porous and full of holes, and they are dancing and dancing in various shapes when viewed from above. The ancients regarded the exquisite and transparent marble as the top quality. Translucent can make the whole stone live, and it is also in line with the aesthetic concept of femininity and purity. Zhonghuafeng, the ancient Lingbi stone that still exists in the world, can be said to be a typical example of the most beautiful stone.
The three monsters are leaks. The leakage of holes is difficult and miraculous. If it leaks, it rains at night in the thatched house, and the willows are slightly exposed, and you can walk up and down. You can ride on the ice of heaven above, and you can ground yourself on the ground below, but leakage is the only way. If there is leakage in the stone peak, the body will look like lotus petals, with the lips turned over and spitting out cherry blossoms, with many ups and downs, sparse and clear. There is an ancient Lingbi stone in Yuyuan Garden in Shanghai, called Yu Linglong, also known as Taihu stone, which can be said to be a masterpiece. The cloud is abrupt and all the orifices are enlightened. If water is poured into one hole, it will come out from all the holes. If incense is burned in one hole from below, all the holes will be filled with smoke. Why not?
The four monsters are wrinkled. There are wrinkles and waves, and petrous sinuses are crisscrossed. The image outside the wrinkled stone. Its back is steep and folded, dense and continuous, undulating and loose, the yin and yang are straight and the back, and the stone skin is folded and folded. The wrinkles of the Lingbi stone are like the crack of an axe, like the layers of waves, the heavy snow is like the spring breeze blowing on the clear water, and the rolling microwaves are like the stone skin covered with linen, with thousands of threads. The wrinkles are really strange.
The five monsters are ugly. The most ugly is beautiful, the most beautiful is ugly. Ugly yet majestic, ugly yet beautiful. At first glance, it looks strangely ugly, but in reality it is delicate and beautiful. Ugliness is natural, and the aesthetic concept of returning to simplicity is the highest taste of stone appreciation culture.
