The above-mentioned characteristics of Jiulongbi, or colorful, or the main and secondary are distinct, covering the heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, the scenery of the four seasons, the character style, flowers and trees, birds and beasts, and the mathematics and physics of words, etc., Xiao shape objects, strange and strange, is really wonderful, and the beauty of the load is all over the world.

Having said so many reasons to like it, which condition is the most important to appreciate the Nine Dragons Picture Stone?

Shape, texture, color and rhyme, why is the shape the first?

Because it is one of the most important factors in the formation of a good picture stone.

What is the "shape" of the picture stone? For many stone friends who have little contact with the picture stone, they are very at a loss.

Many new stone friends, some old stone friends, often do not pay attention to the "shape" of the picture stone when appreciating the picture stone, and for other stone friends to be strict with the "shape" of the picture stone, they will feel puzzled.

So why do many people always care so much about the shape of the picture stone, and some people even have a "deep prejudice" about the shape of the picture stone?

To figure this out, it's actually quite simple.

For example, if we collect or appreciate a masterpiece, the content of the painting is also very good, the characteristics are very distinct, the painting art is also perfect, the age is very old, and the number of surviving paintings is very low...... And it was once collected by a certain famous artist, but part of the corners of this painting were torn off in the process of inheritance, and the paper of the whole painting was "very irregular"!

When we look at such a painting, do we feel unpleasant?

If we add to the fact that the painting is seriously damp and the paper also shows the phenomenon of "unevenness", then in addition to retaining a certain historical value of this painting, its aesthetic value is undoubtedly greatly reduced, and the appreciation value is also greatly reduced.

How to study the "shape" of the picture stone?

This has to be broken down into several aspects.

First of all, the general principle is that the "shape" of the picture stone is based on the requirement of symmetry of the plane geometry.

Specifically: (1) Stone surface requirements: flat, the smoother the better.

(2) The contours around the side of the stone body are round, square and smooth, and the shape of the stone is generally round and square are rare stone shapes, it is best not to appear irregular, the more irregular the worse.

(3) There are also some regular shapes, such as regular triangles, or inverted triangles, or oblique edges, etc., but as picture stones, such rules are not very ideal, because they do not quite conform to people's habits of appreciating paintings.

(4) The visual center of gravity of the theme of the picture is consistent with or close to the visual center of gravity of the stone geometry (this point is easily ignored by many stone friends who play the picture stone for the first time).

(5) The stone body as a whole should be slightly full, but not clumsy.

A good picture stone, if the picture is very good as a whole, if the stone shape can be flattened, it is ideal, otherwise if it is too heavy, it will appear a little redundant.

Unless the small picture stone is a fine product, for the large picture stone, it is mainly to appreciate the picture, if it is too thick, it is a burden.

Although we can't demand perfection when it comes to nature's works, as an appreciation, especially for the stones that we want to collect, if there are conditions, of course, the more perfect the better.

Of course, nothing is perfect, and the same is true for stones.

In the process of appreciating stones, it is acceptable to accept the shortcomings and deficiencies of stones, but as a collector, we still need to be guided by the idea of tending to perfection, so as to avoid detours and pay less tuition.

If you want to write about the collection of picture stones, you must introduce in detail how to appreciate the picture stones of the Nine Dragons.

This is not difficult for Kowloon, he divides these into several parts.

In the first part, to collect the Nine Dragons Stone, it is necessary to have an in-depth understanding of the causes and characteristics of the Nine Dragons Stone, and improve the ability to appreciate and knowledge.

The main reason for appreciating the Nine Dragons Stone is its composition.

The composition of a strange stone is completely natural, and no matter how wonderful nature is, it is impossible to create according to human imagination like a painter.

Therefore, it is normal to have defects, and you should start from several aspects to enjoy the Nine Dragons Picture Stone.

One, how beautiful is the composition.

Strange stones have artistic attributes to a considerable extent.

Since it has the attributes of art, for those who play with strange stones, playing with stones should be regarded as an art.

Strange stone art, like other arts, cannot, of course, be separated from aesthetics.

Why do you say aesthetics and not aesthetics?

This is because the connotation of beauty seems to be only beauty, as if it is only the beauty of the eyeball, that is, the so-called beauty.

Aesthetics is from the artistic level, it is not only the beauty of the eyeballs, but rises to an artistic point of view, this strange stone is beautiful.

Sometimes, a strange stone does not seem to be beautiful, not beautiful, and some even look very ugly, but it can give people a strong visual and spiritual impact.

Not only the picture stone, but all other strange stones are the same truth.

The ancients said: thin, wrinkled, leaky, transparent, ugly, although it is only said to a few kinds of strange stones, but it does show the aesthetic attributes of a few strange stones.

Second, the main composition components and secondary composition components should have a strong sense of hierarchy and distinction.

There are many Kowloon Bi picture stones that are all black, and the sense of hierarchy is not strong, and some even have no layers.

Third, the color contrast should be strong.

Some of the Kowloon Picture Stones have a good composition, but the contrast is not strong.

For example, the black part is very black, but the white part is very thin, so the contrast cannot be improved, and although the composition is good, it is still not a good stone.

A good picture stone does not need it to be like something, as long as it can give people a visual impact, give people spiritual comfort, give people emotional pleasure, and give people the soaring of thoughts, this is a good stone.

Therefore, in order to eliminate the picture stone, it must be like the psychology of picking up stones and appreciating stones like something.
