Now, the third concrete way to appreciate the beauty of the strange stone form and discover its aesthetic value: "the 'game' method of appreciating stones."
This method refers to a method in which the subject of stone appreciation adopts aesthetic experience activities such as "free game", "game of concept" and "game after excess of life" to abstract forms of strange stones, so as to produce different game illusions and obtain different aesthetics.
Due to the length of the article, it can only be introduced here in a flashy manner.
First, in the "shape game of space", we use the "free game" to experience the strange stone that expresses the "soul" of man
Figure 1, Haoyue, Lingbishi, Wuhu Fanzang
Abstract forms. For example, Wu Hufan's collection of Lingbi stone "Haoyue" (see Figure 1), its shape is very "thick", like the image of an "honest man"; just because of a few holes in it, this "honest man" is not simple, it is a "wise honest man". Stone-watchers thus produce "game illusions".
Of course, the author believes that the typical paradigm of the strange stone abstract form that expresses the "soul" way of man is the strange stone "Rice Fu" series.
Obviously, the "game illusion" that people get from the "nothingness" of the series of "holes, holes" is related to the image of the wise man in the world.
By analogy, the "wrinkled" physical characteristics of the strange stone paradigm will be related to the long years; the "leaky and transparent" physical characteristics of the strange stone paradigm, which makes people produce "game illusions" related to the environment, that is, the incorruptible people who have been baptized by the years, they hope to "play with ease" in the environment that will not let people "hit the wall".
Second, in the "shape game of space", the use of "concept game", people to experience the expression of people's "thinking" way of the strange stone abstract form, resulting in "game illusion".
The author believes that the abstract form of the strange stone that expresses the "thinking" of people, its universal form, that is, the "constitutive abstraction" series of the strange stone.
This is because this series of forms is a strange stone form that can no longer be saved, and it is a strange stone form that is too simple to be simple

Formula. For example, in the ming Dynasty's old collection of Mi Wanzhong, the Lingbi Stone "Lock Clouds" (see Figure 2), the purpose of the main body of the stone viewing through their "spatial appearance game" is to compress their forms again in order to grasp the main part of their expression of the essence and charm, that is, the key trend of the intention of their form- "none", and omit other unrelated parts, and hide or express their emotions through implicit, suggestive, and symbolic.
It is worth noting that this "nothingness" is the material basis for the "pure emotion" obtained by the subject of the stone.
Third, in the "shape game of space", we use the "game of excess life" to experience the abstract form of the strange stone that expresses the "advanced needs" of people, thus producing the "game illusion".
In Chapter 53 of the second volume of "Stone Path", the author introduces the abstract form of strange stones that express people's "advanced needs", that is, the strange stone paradigm "Cloud Head Rain Foot" series.
If you want to cause an aesthetic game of this kind of strange stone paradigm - the "Cloud Head Rain Foot" series, the main body of stone appreciation can only carry out similar activities if it exceeds material needs and reaches excess energy.
That is to say, aesthetic games arise only when the arbitrary activity of the imagination is unified with the free abstract form of the strange stone. Of course, this requires rational participation, and it also requires stone appreciators to dare to sacrifice reality for appearance.
When the appearance is retrieved from the essential characteristics of the "big and small" series of "cloud heads and rain feet" series, and the appearance is involved in the imagination of the game, the game of the imagination of the stone viewing subject will leap forward and become an aesthetic game.
Therefore, in the "shape game of space", whether in the "game of freedom", or in the "game of ideas", or in the "game of excess life", the subject of the stone appreciation can feel the beauty of the abstract form of the strange stone. As a result, the aesthetic value of the abstract form of the strange stone is realized.
Of course, from the more than fourteen hundred words of the lecture, all one gets is a few superficial facts about the concrete aesthetic methods of the abstract form of the strange stone. If you want to know the specifics, you have to wait for the publication of the Stone Path (volumes 1-5). Shi You, please be patient and understand more.

Exercise 1: When I was a child, I believe I played the game of "hide and seek", do you remember some of the fun you enjoyed in it?
Exercise two: Now, we all play games on our mobile phones, and if we are obsessed with them, it is difficult to extricate ourselves. What are some of the fascinating feelings here?
Exercise 3: "Stone Viewing 'Game' Method", is it in the middle of the above two games? If so, what is the basis for judging? If not, why?
