Zhao Tuo's "Xianglong Stone Diagram"
In my memory, everything that is happy is related to the stone, and when I was a child, I liked the wind chime stone that was trained by the wind hammer in the Gobi of the barren mountain, and the wind would ring when the wind blew. Or was it the first collection of my life that my father gave me Hundreds of millions of years of dried apricot fossils, and when I grew up, I got the beauty of being with Miyu all day long. When I was a child, I couldn't say a lot of big truths about liking, it was just a child's strange like, and I thought that the stone was cute and loved, and there was no so-called reason.
When I was young, I visited the West Lake with my brother and saw zou yunfeng in the "Jiangnan Famous Stone Garden" opposite the Yuewang Temple. This stone is 2.6 meters high, only 0.4 meters at the narrow waist, the whole body is wrinkled, the posture is beautiful, exquisite and tricky, there is a "shape like the clouds, the ripples are shaking" of the natural interest, the stone is engraved with the three words "crepe cloud peak", very eye-catching,
It was the coldest winter day in Hangzhou, I remember that at that time I was somewhat reluctant to follow behind my brother's footsteps, only to hear him say that he wanted to take me to see one of the three famous stones in Jiangnan, "Crepe Cloud Peak", when I really saw this piece of crepe cloud peak hidden in the garden, I only felt that it was emaciated but not chilly, and the twists and turns of the years were still magnificent, quite imposing, it was different from the West Lake, it was just quietly standing in the corner of the garden, so silent, few people asked, the wind and bones were indeed so fragrant, standing in front of it, Listening carefully to my brother's story about its origin and behind it, I was amazed at the vitality of a strange stone in the long river of time and the stories and feelings it could carry, just as Zong Baihua said, "The brilliant pole is flat."
In addition to Crepe Cloud Peak, two other famous stones with its same name, one is the "Yu Linglong" of Shanghai Yu Garden and the "Guanyun Peak" of Suzhou Lingering Garden, at that time, it was decided to meet with his brother, if you go to Suzhou to see "Guanyun Peak" to Go to Shanghai, go to see "Yu Linglong" as if these naturally created beautiful things, because our love is more and more vivid, like old friends, the two cities associated with them have become more and more lovely.
Later, in the book, it was seen that the Tang Dynasty's prime minister, Niu Monks and Children, loved to collect Taihu stones, and Bai Juyi called him "when he wandered, he was with the stone", and even to the point of "treating him like a guest, a relative like a sage, a precious stone, and a love like a child". It can be seen that its love for stones, the cuteness of the ancient literati, the aesthetic standards have always been broad and special, and the ugly stones full of holes are interesting in the hearts of the emperors or literati. Literati often use Taihu stone as a metaphor, they feel that even in the situation of fierce winds and waves, its quality and pursuit are like Taihu stone, although it has been baptized by wind and rain and sand, it is still tough, straight and full of vitality.
When we were young, our father always took us to browse the famous mountains and rivers, or the ancient monuments and monuments that few people asked about, and the family had many strange stones and jades of different shapes collected by my father over the years, as well as other ancient objects and calligraphy and paintings. Later, I learned that where is just a simple preference, more is a father's vision, parents always hope that their children are healthy and happy, cultivate their children's artistic aesthetics from an early age, have good aesthetic education, always be able to enjoy themselves, just like a corner of the stone, no matter how the world changes, can always be proud of the world with a piece of wind and bone. So indifferent, so clear. Some seemingly useless things really shape a person's character in the passage of time.
