The definition of Zen stone has a certain stretch space, which needs to be flexibly mastered, and from the perspective of ornamental stone aesthetics, Zen stone, not only to have Zen, but also to have visual beauty, requires to pay attention to the nobility and refinement of color and quality.

Such a Zen stone can be truly high-end, atmospheric and high-grade.

Otherwise, a "rotten stone", self-cherishing with a broom, between playing, Zen is repeated, and it is naturally understandable.

But if you get the stone world to appreciate it, it will not be popular, let alone its market value.

3. Classification of Zen stones

A simple division of the types of Zen stones may be helpful for everyone to understand Zen stones.

According to the characteristics and levels of Zen stones, the author thinks that they can be roughly divided into: image Zen stones, abstract Zen stones, philosophical Zen stones, and Buddhist Zen stones.

The first two categories are divided from the characteristics, and the last two categories are divided from the level, so they are interspersed with each other.

1. Image Zen stone: that is, vivid image of specific Zen stone, pictographic stone or pattern stone are available.

It is easy to see that it looks like a certain philosopher or religious figure, whether it is laughing or speaking, whether it is happy or thinking, whether it is still or moving, whether it is powerful or benevolent.

Of course, the charm is extraordinary, both form and spirit, which can not only give people a sense of beauty, but also make people like the light of the Buddha, or such as flowers and plants, or such as branches and leaves, or such as clouds, or such as flowing water, or such as distant mountains, etc., so that people's minds are quiet, peaceful, and meditative flowers and plants, or there are words Buddha, enlightenment, Zen, Tao, law, emptiness, etc., should be classified.

2. Abstract Zen stone: that is, a simple and abstract Zen stone with a shape or figure.

It seems to be nothing, looming, simple and ethereal, or lofty and profound, etc., which is not easy to name, but also makes people think deeply, and at the same time is full of beauty.

This kind of Zen stone, because of its high and low, and the benevolent see the wisdom of the wise, relatively speaking, the requirements for the color and shape are higher, otherwise it is not easy for most people to agree, and it is not easy to make achievements in the market.

3. Philosophical Zen Stone: It is a strange stone that can reflect all kinds of philosophical enlightenment.

For example, it can make people understand the philosophical beauty of dividing into two, the unity of opposites, the bright future, the tortuous road, passion and tranquility, the infinity of time and space, the changes of yin and yang, spear and shield, high and low, big and small, fast and slow, light and dark, beauty and ugliness, and so on.

The number of such stones is not a small number.

4. Buddhist Zen Stone: It is a strange stone that can reflect the profound Buddhist principles and Zen.

It is the highest level of Zen stone, and Buddhism in a broad sense can contain the essence of Confucianism and Taoism.

It can be divided into two categories: one is the Zen stone of intuitive Buddhism, which can make people intuitively feel good and evil, cause and effect, life and death, reincarnation, Buddha light, practice, Bodhi Road, heaven and hell...... and so on.

The second is the abstract and ethereal Zen stone, which can inspire people's wisdom, feel emptiness, nothingness, return to the basics, the avenue of nature, non-emptiness and non-existence, that is, emptiness is existence, vacuum is wonderful, that is, the heart is the devil, that is, the heart is the Buddha, the heart gives birth to ten thousand laws, there is no desire and no self, and the realm of transcendence and sanctification...... Hidden valley, deserted temple, white clouds, moonlit night, cold pine, distant mountains, twilight rain, cold river, autumn mountain, sunset, small bridge flowing water, bright moon pine, clear spring stone, futon, wooden fish and other strange stones full of harmony, hazy, beautiful, plain artistic conception can be the expression of this kind of Zen stone.

It should be pointed out that no matter what kind of Zen stone, allegorical nature is its basic characteristic.

The abstract Zen stone and the Buddhist Zen stone with higher grade are more prominent and profound in meaning.

Its charm is mainly manifested in the simplicity of the avenue, the great ingenuity, the invisible elephant, the sound of the big sound, the great simplicity, the stability and balance, the harmony and nature, the simplicity and smoothness, the silence and symmetry, the quiet and leisurely, the indifferent and tranquil and so on.

This kind of artistic conception produces a peaceful charm, long and profound, not only to give people the enjoyment of high-end Zen beauty, but also to stimulate people's natural wisdom, enhance people's fixed state, is really the best in the ornamental stone.

Originally, Jiulong thought that President Cheng's Zen Stone views were similar to others, just look at it, and did not plan to borrow it, but he didn't expect the Zen Stone to play with President Cheng here.

The reason for this is related to President Cheng's own belief in Buddhism.

Because of the belief in Buddhism, it is natural to have an in-depth study of Zen Buddhism, so when it comes to Zen stones, it is easy to be proficient.

What vacuum is wonderful, what noble and refined, and even a stone, if the name is not right, a good Zen stone will also become an ordinary stone.

Moreover, President Cheng gave a detailed description of several Zen views in the stone world, and gave a detailed introduction to how to appreciate and how to play Zen stones, from shallow to deep, which is very operable.

Leaving President Cheng's house, Kowloon reported the meeting with President Cheng to Qian Dashen as soon as possible.

Qian Dashen was also very happy when he heard that the headquarters might be located on Ludao, and said that he would strike while the iron was hot, and asked President Cheng to visit President Wei Pengjing as soon as possible to get the matter done.

Jiulong also told Qian Dashen about President Cheng's explanation of his efforts to persuade Longyan friends, and expressed his doubts, why did such an important matter of the Provincial Stone Association hit a wall in Longyan?

"Alas, this matter is hard to explain, I have found President Lin, and he said that he is very busy, otherwise, you should pick up the vice president and director unit of the Longyan Association, you are a Longyan person, just right. ”

As if he had discovered a new world, Qian Dashen excitedly asked Kowloon if he could carry the burden.

When Kowloon heard this, he was a little confused, and he was just concerned about the affairs of his hometown, why did he call himself to do it? Is there such a child's play?

Besides, even if you want to do it yourself, the local stone friends also have resistance, you are a Ludao person to take care of us, like words? What do you want us to do, we will support you and help you?

Jiulong refused without thinking about it, this is not something that can be done just with motivation.

After Jiulong and Qian Dashen finished talking on the phone, the more he thought about it, the more problematic it became, so he immediately called Master Deng, who was the base of Longyan, briefly introduced the situation, and asked him what the attitude of Longyan's friends was.

Master Deng said "hehe" twice, "Xiao Huang, Qian Zhonghua has also approached me for this matter, but the provincial association is an empty shell, and you can't do anything to join if you ask for money, of course, everyone is unwilling to join." ”

Kowloon thought that this was indeed the case, but he always felt that something was wrong, and Master Deng didn't say it, so he asked him if there was anything unspeakable.

Master Deng was also very frank: "This is the main reason, as for the rest, I can't say well, it should be related to the ability of the leader, Cheng Xiuchan, we have only heard about it, and we haven't seen him do anything earth-shattering in the stone world, as for Qian Zhonghua, he is a bookmaker, his mind is full of money, and he can't see how much ability he has." ”

Master Deng wanted to speak and stopped, and stopped talking.

Jiulong peeled back the cocoon, and finally understood a rough idea, but he was not optimistic about the two of them, thinking that he had no future with them.
