There is no stone in the room.

The moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring flows upward.

Elegant room mountain rhyme, sage heart from quiet.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said,"I am not afraid of anyone who is in this world." Those who know each other are like mountains to flowing water. This is a kind of spiritual resonance of congenial interests, such as Shu Qi's picking of Wei, Tao Qian's chrysanthemum, Mi Fu's worship of stone.... There are thousands of people who take things as confidants, but stone appreciation is the most temperamental thing. Because of its open and dignified, craggy bones and less charming state; with its simple elegant Mu Mu, exquisite grid and no vulgar shape. The first person to stone for friends, and stone cohabitation, and even day and night, heart hand rub, this is a natural placement of values, if there is no haze in the chest, why friends?

Stone as a friend, stone into the house, regardless of ancient and modern, outside is the way of life by sending, inside is the pursuit of spiritual realm. As Chuang Tzu said,"If the center is fixed, then the external things are clear." There is pure meaning in the stone, living with the stone, simple and unadorned in the empty house; There is pure meaning in the stone, elegant with the stone, and the room is secluded and spacious. A stone from another mountain should not only be a creation of nature, but should also enter the hall.

Rock into the house, there is its philosophical origin. Confucius said: "benevolent Leshan, the wise happy water", Confucianism is the idea of economic accession. Lao Tzu said: "There is great beauty in heaven and earth, and everything is reasonable." Taoism is the spirit of free birth. To Qu Yuan, it is said: "Mining three show Xi in the mountains, stone Lei Xi Ge Man", the initial worship of mountains and rivers, rose to the gentleman's spiritual sustenance, character symbol. With the spread of stone appreciation class from scholar-bureaucrat class to literati class, stone appreciation rose to an aesthetic activity of elite group.

Forefathers so-called "room without stone is not elegant, living without stone uneasy", leisurely stubborn stone, the formation of heaven and earth aura and health, static table, although can not say, but can successfully introduce you into a state of mind. The room is like a cloud forest, avoiding the noise; if the house is on the mountain, it is fearless in the autumn. The world of stone appreciation comes from the understanding of creation."There is no waste in heaven and earth, and the mountain bone is good." Whether it is ancient or modern, or in China and abroad, the true interest of stone appreciation in the room space seems far-reaching.

With the evolution of the times, buildings, rooms, furniture, objects and so on are iteratively innovated under different design concepts. When stone appreciation becomes a display and installation art in a new context, it has new expression and interpretation in a refined and comfortable modern room. This is also the direction that Chinese traditional art should explore.

The stone appreciation exhibition "Stone to Today 2" and the new book launch conference "Qingwan: Sleeping Clouds on Stone" jointly planned by "Leqian Culture","More Less" and "Literati Space" will be opened on September 12, 2018 at Shanghai M50 "More Life Museum" space.
