a brief talk on the level of enjoying the beauty of the stone
if you look at the mountains and rivers, everything is between heaven and earth. Appreciating and understanding the stone can make us broad-minded, tough-willed and broad-minded, so we gradually have the spirit of integrity and courage, compassion and love, so the way to appreciate the stone lies in self-cultivation and inspiration. Strange stone lovers should pay more attention to the pursuit of noble stone appreciation while searching for strange stones. There are four kinds of stone appreciation realms: first, Ye Gong is good at stone, second, stone appreciation is pleasing to the eye, third, stone is a teacher and friend, and fourth, forget the stone and return to the truth.
Ye Gonghao Stone
In the past, Ye Gongzi Gao Haolong, with hooks, wine utensils and house decorations carved in dragon shapes. So Tianlong heard about it, and when Ye Gong saw the real dragon, he suddenly lost his mind and fled in panic. Therefore, ye gong ye is not really like the dragon, he likes only those things like dragons are not dragons. Nowadays, there are many people who are good at stone, such as Ye Gong, or have a taste, or are arty, or mercenary; Although he claims to be obsessed with stone road, he is keen on profit and vanity. If someone spends all day calculating how much the value of hidden stones will increase in a few years, the fun is here. It is difficult to talk with them about the realm. No matter how many tons of stones they have, they are just passers-by at the stone gate.
most of Ye Gong's good stones are spoken to others, not his heartfelt love and respect. In their eyes, stones can only show off a little decoration, but they can be exchanged for some scattered silver and silver goods, and they can be waved around without any pity. As a stone farmer and stone merchant, it is understandable to stay in this realm. After all, it is only his life's occupation; As a strange stone lover, we should try our best to get rid of glitz and indifferent to fame and fortune. If you value profit, you will be fascinated, and if you are fascinated, you will lose your way. If you pursue economic stimulus, it is better to speculate in stocks, and you can see that money is increasing or decreasing every day.
The level of stone appreciation is not necessarily proportional to the length of stone appreciation and stone hiding, and it has little to do with the number of hidden stones. The key lies in whether you appreciate it with your heart. A strange stone that moves you may not be worth much. Money can buy material satisfaction, but it is difficult for money to obtain noble spiritual pleasure.
stone appreciation is pleasing to the eye
This realm is the mainstream realm of stone appreciation, mainly from the aesthetic point of view to obtain visual aesthetic pleasure.
everyone loves beauty but hates ugliness, and is curious and disgusted with flatness. The so-called gentle and graceful lady and gentleman love it. In this realm, the eyes are attracted by the aesthetic charm displayed by the color, shape, texture and other elements of the strange stone, and they can calm down and read it carefully, which leads to a certain emotional sound from pleasing to the eye. In the process of hiding stones and appreciating stones, you can read obvious themes, appreciate the wonderful changes of natural creations, marvel at the ingenious work of natural forces, and cherish your favorite stones. Collecting strange stones is out of curiosity and love, or in the process of managing strange stones, I gradually became interested in stone appreciation culture.
Appreciating the stone is pleasing to the eye, pleasing to the eye and interesting. Interest is the joy of life, and it is the beginning of becoming attached to the stone. Feel the culture of appreciating the stone in the twilight. Unfortunately, this thin stone edge is not stable enough, and it still stays at the level of appreciating things. Those who appreciate things are fond of things and sad about things, and suddenly love them as treasures, and suddenly throw them away as lost, lacking peace and calmness, and their minds can't be determined. The position of appreciating stones is easily influenced by emotions and other people's evaluation. Borrowing Mr. Wang Guowei's description of the realm in "Words on Earth", it is a word of "separation", which is intentional but does not enter the interior or the spirit.
Stone is a teacher and friend
This is the realm of sending affection to stone. At this level, as an ornamental object, the strange stone is personified and becomes an admirable mentor and friend. The feeling of enjoying the stone is from the eyes of the people, and the realm of enjoying the stone is from the outside to the inside, which is the realm of entering the stone.
It is the unique kindness of China traditional culture to feel nature with the heart and endow everything with spirituality. It is a process of careful thinking and feeling to excavate the aesthetic and scientific research value from seemingly ordinary stones, give life to strange stones and pin emotions on hard stones. There have been many "stone idiots" in history. They love stones, enjoy them and take them as their teachers and friends. In the Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi praised the prime minister Niu Rujian for "treating stone as a friend, treating it as a sage, valuing it as a treasure jade, and loving it as a child and grandson". In Song Dynasty, Shen Kuo called Shi as his brother, and collected many fossils in his life. He put forward a scientific understanding of fossils more than 4 years earlier than in Europe. He also concluded that the North China Plain was "the seashore of the past" by observing the snail and clam fossils between the stone walls of Taihang Mountain, and reached the same conclusion as modern geology. Su Dongpo, a great writer, is also a stone-admiring master. On his way to relegation, he did not forget to enjoy himself with the stone, and he was detached from things.
Mi Fei, the "Mi Dian" in the Northern Song Dynasty, is the most crazy person. The story of "Mi Fei worships the stone" is a classic portrayal of this realm: Minangong, the new army supervisor of Wuwei Prefecture, first joined the State Administration, and found a big stone standing in the courtyard with a very strange shape. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "This is enough for me to worship." So I immediately adjusted my clothes and worshipped it. Since then, he has also called this big stone "Stone Zhang". Not long after, he heard that there was a strange stone on the bank of the river, which was "ugly" and ordered the chief to move it to the state department hospital. When Mi Fei saw this stone, he was greatly surprised. He quickly asked his servant to take the official robes and official robes, set a table and bowed down to the ground, and murmured, "I want to see Brother Shi for twenty years!" Mi Fei was a famous painter and calligrapher in Song Dynasty. His calligraphy attainments were called "Song Sijia" together with Cai Xiang, Su Shi and Huang Tingjian. In the history of Chinese painting, he was called "Mi Jiashan", "Mi's Yunshan" and "Mi Pai". I think Mr. Mi Fei must have learned a lot from Mr. Shi.
what moved the literati and celebrities of past dynasties to love strange stones? Chinese culture has a tradition of advocating and learning from nature. Poetry, painting, calligraphy, music and other arts all draw the essence from nature. "Being natural" and "carving naturally" are the noble realms pursued by Chinese culture and art, and strange stones attract and enlighten ancient literati with their calm charm of simplicity and lack of success, and deeply touch every strange stone lover today. The natural and varied shapes and patterns of strange stones inspire us to create calligraphy, painting and other artistic creations; The strange stone has gone through hardships and is awe-inspiring, inspiring us to laugh at the ups and downs of life; Strange stones retain the trajectory of crustal movement, which makes us sigh the vicissitudes of time; The strange stone sealed the moment of ancient life, which surprised us with the prehistoric biological images; The earth's history of more than 4.6 billion years is condensed in strange stones, and there are many unknown mysteries waiting for us to discover with wisdom and soul ...
In this stone appreciation realm, strange stones are the epitome of nature, the footprints of the earth, the wonderful stones are honed, the strange stones are living spirits, and the strange stones are teachers and friends who know each other and talk to each other.
forget the stone and return to the truth
this realm needs to be appreciated in a state of physical and mental peace and harmony with nature. This realm is the realm of stone, and it is the realm of spiritual penetration. Appreciating the stone instead of appreciating it is a far-reaching appreciation of the stone; Changing from persistence to peace is greater persistence.
are the strange stones separated from us? No, strange stones are connected with our roots. The machinery, electrical appliances, daily necessities, furnishings and so on in the urban cement forest all come from the mineral deposits of the earth, and the synthesis of life is also taken from the earth. The earth has nurtured human beings, and human beings have changed the form of material combination. However, the process of human development is a process of plundering and destroying nature. In fact, human beings have destroyed their own foundation and a part of their lives. Motherly love indulges children, and the earth also tolerates human beings and everything indefinitely.
As a medium of feeling, strange stones lead our spirit to sublimate with their unique original ecological charm, which makes our hearts return to the depths of the earth, to the origin of life, reminds our thoughts of rivers and deserts, sunshine and freedom, and enables us to feel the kindness of the earth and enjoy a sincere, beautiful life. There are many ways for the soul to return to nature. We stone lovers experience and understand the essence of nature more through stone appreciation, and return to the truth through the stone road. For nature, we should always explore and develop with gratitude and reverence, and treat everything with peace and equality.
The name "stone interest"
"Forget the stone and return to the truth" is not simply to forget the stone, but to make the spirit of the stone-appreciating subject echo the connotation expressed by the strange stone, transcend the tangible boundaries, and achieve a calm and calm state of blending with the stone and nature. In the process of appreciating and hiding stones, it is inevitable that we will be paranoid because of our concentration, and make actions that affect family harmony, stone friends' feelings, and waste our careers. "Forgetting the stone and returning to the truth" can calm our mentality of appreciating the stone and hiding it, get rid of greed and surliness, treat the strange stone calmly and objectively, and do not arbitrarily praise or criticize, forcibly
ask for the name jade and exquisite
, complain about others, get carried away, and do not affect our career and life.
The above four realms are only theoretical divisions. In the practice of stone appreciation, the changes of realms are dynamic, and the same person will gradually experience different realms in the process of appreciating the same stone. It is also possible to realize one realm on this stone and another realm on another stone; However, some people are born with a stone edge, and they have a heartfelt love when they meet strange stones in their childhood or encounter them. Although they don't have systematic knowledge of stone appreciation, sometimes they will directly enter the simple and noble realm of stone appreciation in obscurity.
the accomplishment of appreciating the stone may not be achieved, but it may not be maintained. Everything grows in the change of seasons, and the realm of stone appreciation also conforms to the law of yin and yang cycle. The feelings of observation, meditation and enlightenment are constantly circulating, and each cycle will improve and perfect our realm of stone appreciation, and finally we will have a smooth, upright and peaceful state of mind, invisible in the downtown area and return to nature.
While improving the realm of stone appreciation, we should also pay attention to learning the knowledge of rock history, causes, composition, aesthetics and the identification of the authenticity of strange stones. The accumulation of these knowledge will help us to know and understand strange stones more deeply from the two levels of material structure and humanistic spirit.
the name "Prune a plum"
Appreciating the stone is a pursuit, a kind of cultivation, not a burden of thought. Let nature take its course with the stone, respect the stone and communicate with your heart, and you will realize many wonderful mysteries and enjoy the joy of enjoying the stone. Time never stops, life will eventually disappear, the earth will continue to change, and even the vast galaxies will collide and merge. Appreciating stones ennobles us, makes us tolerant, purifies our souls, and blends our short life with nature. Enjoy with the stone, forget about the stone and me, return to nature, and be merciful and wise.
