The Guanyun Peak in the Lingering Garden is a gem in the Taihu Lake stone, which is a collection of the four strange things of the Taihu Lake Stone "thin, wrinkled, leaky and transparent", which is said to be the relics of the Song Dynasty Flower Stone Gang.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, although the war in the north was tight and the Jin soldiers pressed the border, Huizong of the Song Dynasty built a large number of buildings in the city of Tokyo and built "Yanfu Palace" and "Wanshou Mountain".

He ordered a nationwide collection of exotic flowers and stones, boasting of collecting the world's treasures in the court.

In the fourth year of Huizong Zhenning, he specially set up the Suzhou and Hangzhou Yingfeng Bureau in Suzhou, which was responsible for collecting famous flowers and strange stones.

Guanyun Peak is the relic of the Flower Stone Gang that will be transported away in the future.

Guanyun Peak is located in the east of the Lingering Garden, because of its shape is also known as Guanyin Peak, it is one of the famous courtyard stones in Suzhou Garden, it is the giant Taihu Lake stone peak salvaged when the river was dredged in the Ming Dynasty, because the stone peak is towering, the four exhibitions are like a crown, so it is named "Guanyun".

The original name of this place was Shi Ruiyun Peak (the original was moved into the West Garden of Suzhou Weaving Department in the spring of the 44th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, now in Suzhou No. 10 Middle School), and it is also said that the owner of the garden expressed the meaning of the crown cloud more than the original stone.

Guanyun Peak is 5.7 meters high, the bottom is 0.8 meters high, the total height is 6.5 meters, weighs about 5 tons, its height is the most lake stone in the Jiangnan garden, and is located in the Ruiyun Peak in the tenth middle school of Suzhou City, the jade Linglong in the Yu Garden in Shanghai, the crepe cloud peak (also known as crepe stone) in the Jiangnan Famous Stone Garden of Hangzhou Xishan Flower Garden, and is listed as the four strange stones in the south of the Yangtze River.

The courtyard where Guanyun Peak is located is arranged as a water stone garden, there are Guanyun Tower, Guanyun Pavilion, Guanyun Terrace, Lingyun Nunnery, etc., all are the place to appreciate the stone, the central pond is named Huanyun Marsh, the south is the platform stone fence, the lotus is planted in the water, the pond is out of the peninsula in the north, the crown Yunfeng is established, Ruiyun Peak, Xiuyun Peak stands left and right, it is the famous sister three peaks of the Lingering Garden, the small peak stalagmites are listed under the three peaks, the flowers and plants are dotted with pine and bamboo, there is a big forest under the water, the forest spring scenery of the victory of the resort.

The name of the building built behind the peak is called Xianyuan stop the clouds, also called the crown cloud building, the front pool back building and the stone peak in the tone and shape, formed the obvious contrast of the depth and shade of light and shade and the high and low horizontal and vertical, so as to set off the crown cloud peak to be more tall and volley.

After visiting the Lingering Garden, President Xu asked Kowloon what his impression was, and Kowloon gave a thumbs up, and even said that he had seen it.

President Xu told Kowloon that because Taihu Stone is a limestone texture, it is easy to fake, and if you really want to play with it, you need to have a few more eyes.

Kowloon is dumbfounded, it seems that the classical stone appreciation has been relatively quiet in recent years, and it should be the victim of fakes.

President Xu said that at present, in China's market, the original Taihu stone is even rarer, and the price remains high.

For the sake of their own interests, many businessmen deceive people and defraud people of their money.

I'll teach you a few tricks to identify Taihu Lake Stone, and you won't suffer.

One look at the shape.

To see whether the shape of the hole is natural, the drill hole is generally a round hole, and the more irregular the hole shape, the closer to nature.

Second, look at the angle.

Look at the angle of the hole in the hole, because the drill pipe will not bend, the closer the angle is to 90 degrees, the better.

Third, look at the stone skin.

See whether the stone skin is polished, etched, and sandblasted, and the fake stone is generally smooth and round, without concave and convex folds.

Fifth, look at the relationship.

Look at the relationship between the location of the hole and the hole, the fake stone is stiff, and the original stone is natural.

Five, look at the holes.

See if "there is a hole in the hole, a hole in the hole, and a hole in the hole" is the top.

After speaking, President Xu asked the two of them if they wanted to see other scenery.

Kowloon once heard a saying: "There is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below." ”

Hangzhou has already played carefully, should Suzhou continue to play?

Suzhou is a famous historical and cultural city and an important scenic tourist city in China, and one of the important central cities in the Yangtze River Delta.

It is located in the south of Jiangsu, bordering Shanghai in the east, Zhejiang in the south, Taihu Lake in the west, and the Yangtze River in the north.

Suzhou is known as "Paradise on Earth", has always been famous for its beautiful landscapes and elegant gardens, and has the reputation of "Jiangnan Gardens in the World, Suzhou Gardens in Jiangnan", and because of its small bridges and flowing waters, the water towns and ancient city characteristics of the people, and has the reputation of "Oriental Venice".

Suzhou has a history of more than 4,000 years since written records, founded in 514 B.C., China's key scenic tourist city, and an important economic center of the Yangtze River Delta.

Suzhou is an important economic, foreign trade, industrial and commercial and logistics center in Jiangsu, as well as an important cultural, artistic, educational and transportation center.

The famous scenic spots in Suzhou are: Zhouzhuang, Tiger Hill, Humble Administrator's Garden, Lion Forest, Lingering Garden, Hanshan Temple and so on.

I haven't been to any of these attractions except for the Lingering Garden, so I really want to stay and enjoy them.

But...... Jiulong thought about it, President Xu spent a lot of energy to go to the Lingbi stone origin this time, but he returned empty-handed, and there must be a lot of things waiting for him in Shanghai.

As for Mr. Lai, this trip to the Lingbi stone production area, all the way listless, not much to say, the heart has already flown to Kunshan, or forget it, there will be a chance in the future, he and Xiao Qiao will come to play again, that will be more fun.

Therefore, the group of three people no longer stopped and rushed to Shanghai.

At this time, there were still two days before the Mineral Crystal and Fossil Exhibition, and it was inconvenient for Jiulong and Lai to disturb President Xu too much, so they arranged time to understand the atmosphere of stone appreciation in Shanghai.

Originally, Mr. Lai wanted to go to Kunshan immediately, but he was afraid that Kunshan Shiyou would come to Shanghai to participate in the exhibition, and it would be troublesome when the time came.

So, let's take a walk around Shanghai with peace of mind, maybe there will be unexpected gains.

Mr. Lai still has some understanding of Shanghai, he told Kowloon that although Shanghai does not produce strange stones, it has become the country's main place for buying and selling strange stones based on the developed urban economy and the highly inclusive Shanghai-style culture.

Different from several other strange stone purchase and sales places, Shanghai pays the most attention to the sense of fine products, and its high grade of playing stones is second to none in the country.

It is understood that Shanghai accounts for a lot of influential stone players in the country, such as Gao Xinxing, Liu Jianguo, Zhao Decai, Yu Ying, Du Haiyan, etc., and some big players have a lot of high-quality products and even masterpieces in their hands.

Speaking of the reason, Mr. Lai believes that on the one hand, Shanghai is an international metropolis, and its characteristics of embracing all rivers and rivers and its very strong economic purchasing power have created conditions for other provinces and cities to open up the market;

On the other hand, under the influence of Gusu culture, Shanghainese people have a "soft spot" for traditional gardens, landscape paintings, and strange stones.

In the past, the group of playing stones was mostly concentrated in high-ranking officials, businessmen, literati and artists, but now with the popularization of popular culture, strange stones are also accepted by the public.

Among them, there are a group of collectors with strong economic strength, who fancy high-quality products, and do not play with non-high-quality products, which makes Shanghai one of the places with the most exquisite stones in the country.

Mr. Lai proposed to visit one of the most influential stone markets in Shanghai, and Kowloon readily agreed.

This market is called Shanghai Hutai Flower and Bird Stone Market, it is located in No. 1012 Hutai Road, covers an area of more than 30,000 square meters, is currently the largest flower and bird stone market in Shanghai. ()
