Analysis of the value of polishing picture stones.

1. Polished picture stones have ornamental value.

Some ornamental stones, its formation conditions due to the inability to be affected by the external force of nature to form a natural ornamental stone, it must be processed to show a unique beauty.

The beauty of these stones after polishing and cutting is loved by the majority of stone lovers, and we can vividly compare it to: polishing ornamental stones are like unveiling the veil of the bride, and only after unveiling the veil of mystery can it show its beauty.

2. Polishing picture stones have collectible value.

The polished ornamental stone is not synthesized with modern industrial materials, it also has natural attributes, and it also has the scarcity and non-replication of resources.

Therefore, polished ornamental stones cannot simply be equated with handicrafts.

3. Polished picture stones have artistic value.

Many people believe that the unprocessed ornamental stone is a natural work of art.

The uncertainty of the content, coupled with the processor's material, blanking, grinding skills, cultural understanding and artistic cognition, have directly affected the birth of a high-quality polishing picture stone, we can think that this is the "unity of nature and man".

4. Polishing picture stones have economic value.

A good ornamental stone must have economic value, polishing the picture stone is no exception, at the same time, the polishing picture stone greatly satisfies the mainstream aesthetics of contemporary people, some have both the beauty of the material, and the beauty of the artistic concept;

Healthy guidance for polishing picture stones.

At present, the natural formation of ornamental stone resources has been very scarce, if the blind pursuit of pure natural form, and not in line with the current situation of the development of ornamental stone in China, will inevitably affect the popularization and healthy development of stone culture, can not meet people's demand for stone appreciation, but also infinitely resist people's aesthetics.

Therefore, it is necessary to correctly guide the appreciation of polished picture stones, without rejection, let alone slander, and to treat polished picture stones with a scientific, positive and inclusive attitude.

To truly comprehend the "play is the mood", avoid too utilitarian trend of thought, can not simply think that only naturally formed ornamental stones have collection value and economic value, and can even reach sky-high prices.

Establish a view of stone appreciation that keeps pace with the times and promote the prosperity of stone appreciation culture.

Any ornamental stone has its own cultural value, aesthetic value and collection value.

With the continuous diversification of ornamental stone resources, the expansion of ornamental stone collection groups and the fashion of stone appreciation mode, ornamental stone associations at all levels should be correctly guided in the current transformation of Chinese traditional culture.

Stone theorists and leading figures in the Tibetan stone industry treat polished picture stones with a more scientific attitude in terms of stone appreciation theory, not conservative and closed, reflecting the sense of the times, and giving positive and effective promotion.

As President Shao of the China Stone Association said: the beauty of stone appreciation lies in discovery, and the beauty of stone appreciation lies in innovation.

The development of stone appreciation culture and cultural industry should keep up with the pace of the times, only to establish a stone appreciation concept that keeps pace with the times, in order to better promote the healthy development of China's ornamental stones, in order to form a great prosperity of stone appreciation culture.

Indeed, Mr. Cao's views can be used as a necessary supplement to the picture stone, and his own physical body Buddha statue is also a polished type of picture stone, with the blessing of Mr. Cao's article, he will no longer need to sell melons.

Kowloon specially expressed his gratitude to Mr. Cao in the group.

Kowloon since playing with the stone, and the Zen stone seems to be particularly fateful, whether it is "Yunguang Master", "a generation of monks" or "flesh Buddha statue", are rare treasures, why not open a topic, specifically talk about the picture of the stone Zen stone perception?

WHAT IS ZEN? HE IS A TRANSLITERATION OF THE SANSKRIT DHYANA, WHICH MEANS "MEDITATION", "ELIMINATION OF EVIL", "THINKING PRACTICE", AND HAS "SELF-NATURE AND EPIPHANY", WHICH IS A KIND OF PERCEPTUAL THINKING AND SELF-INSPIRED REFLECTION.

Zen stone picture stone, it is said to have the effect of warding off evil spirits, the picture stone of the Buddha theme is more compassionate and auspicious, implying peace and health, so that people see inner peace and positivity.

Zen stone because of the Zen meaning and its name, so if you want to figure out the Zen stone, you must first understand the "Zen".

Zen, that is, when the Buddha and the monk meditate, meditate on the mind, meditate on the wonderful principles, and cultivate the mind and understanding.

And because of the Buddhist inheritance of "not standing words (words can not accurately express the artistic conception of Zen), to the heart to the heart", so the name "heart sect".

Zen believes that "the mind is vast, like a void, which can contain the sun, moon and stars, mountains and rivers, and the earth, encompassing all things, and giving birth to all realms." Therefore, it is called "the source of the heart".

Zen Buddhism pursues beyond the world's "existence and absence", "right and wrong", "gain and loss", "utilitarianism", "pointing directly to the human heart, seeing nature to become a Buddha", and through "gradual enlightenment", "epiphany" and "enlightenment", and finally achieve self-understanding, that is, "enlightenment of nature", such as "merit consummation" can become a Buddha, and its cultivation method is mainly meditation and meditation, which can be understood but difficult to say.

There is such an allusion, which may help us understand the artistic conception of Zen.

Legend has it that the Buddha gathered at Lingshan, and after ascending the throne, he did not say a word, and brought a lotus flower to show to the Buddhas.

All the Buddhas did not understand what it meant, but Venerable Dakya Ye smiled slightly.

The Buddha said: "I have the right Dharma to hide, warm and wonderful heart, reality without appearance, subtle method, will belong to the Mahakalpa", then ordered him to go down the mountain to preach the Dharma, since then founded the most influential school of Buddhism in Chinese history - Zen Buddhism.

The world-famous "Bodhidharma ancestor" is the heir, "a reed crossing the river", "Bodhidharma facing the wall" are its allusions.

It can be seen from the comparison that the artistic conception of Zen is all in the heart-to-heart communication that will smile.

Thousands of mysteries, all in self-evident, all kinds of style, all rely on the understanding.

What is Zen? It is not something that ordinary people of my generation can understand.

From this understanding, the definition of Zen stone should be those stones that are implicit, far-reaching, and can be "heart-to-heart", making people quiet and leading people to think.

However, Buddhism also says, "All things have Buddha nature", so doesn't it mean that all stones have Buddha nature?

If this is the case, is there still a "Zen stone"?

Kowloon understands that those who can see that "all things have Buddha nature" can only be able to see the pearls with a very high cultivation of Buddhism, see the extraordinary from the ordinary, and derive great insight and wisdom from the world.
