Recently, I read an article that when Bai Juyi was in the history of stabbing in Hangzhou, when he was visiting the scenic spot Tianzhu Mountain in Hangzhou, he saw two stones and liked them very much, so he took them home, played with them for a period of time, and his enthusiasm gradually faded, so he forgot the two stones. The two stones were not found in the backpack until he left office. Bai Juyi thought that Tianzhu Mountain is beautiful with mountains and stones. if everyone, like himself, sees the things they love, regardless of the feelings of others, and takes them as their own, will it not tarnish the elegant name of Tianzhu Mountain? Besides, what is the difference between hiding what you like and embezzling money when you see it? Today is a rock, tomorrow may be a treasure, small things do not make up, big places bear hardships, in the future will certainly reach out their hands, become giant beetles, not a good end.

Thinking of this, Bai Juyi hurriedly put the two stones into a box, told his family to send them back to Tianzhushan, and wrote the "self-criticism poem": three years is the history of thorns, drinking water and reeating leaves. Only to Tianzhushan, get two pieces of stone. This is worth a daughter, but nothing is an injury to innocence. From the above, we can see that the ancients love stone feelings, is how noble, how deep, how selfless, how pure! On the contrary, the mentality of today's stone players is how vulgar, how frivolous, how selfish, how fame and wealth! Although, the development of society, we can not completely compare with the ancients. However, the ancients' noble character of "loving stone and honoring stone, emphasizing reward and neglecting profit" should always learn and carry forward!

Therefore, Lao Mu thinks that those stone players who inherit the traditional stone appreciation culture, take leisure and entertainment, self-cultivation and morality as the concept, do not destroy the ecological original appearance, and acquire "strange stone" in the natural state with their bare hands, should become the mainstream of stone playing groups in the future. The stone circle should restrict or abandon those who take stones for the purpose of gaining fame and fortune, with the idea that businessmen "must earn money", at the expense of destroying the natural ecology, and by means of mechanical excavation and processing. As a result, the grindstone can rest! Stone appreciation can be regarded as an industrial development concept. If there is no sale, there will be no harm, no destruction! Protect the green waters and green mountains, and the stone players have no responsibility to borrow money!

We must not forget the original ideal and ambition, but also appreciate the stone in order to be true! We must establish the absolute position of pure natural "strange stone" in the stone world, abolish the broad title of "ornamental stone", exclude all man-made stone products from "strange stone", and let stone be appreciated so as to truly become an elegant, pure, artistic, advocating, loving and collecting cultural activity of nature.
