"Voice is the spirit of Lingbi Stone. Now many people in Lingbi County regard the sound of Lingbi Stone as an auspicious sound to exorcise evil spirits and receive blessings. Second, the Lingbi stone is beautiful in shape. Due to the continuous movement and change of the earth's crust, Lingbi stone has been eroded by weak acidic water quality in soil and water for hundreds of millions of years, and its dross has been removed and its essence has been retained, forming beautiful modeling characteristics such as "thin, wrinkled, transparent, leaky, round, rich, masculine and stable". Lingbi stone also has the beauty of "stubbornness, clumsiness, ugliness, strangeness, spirit, cleverness, beauty and strangeness", which is a natural art made in heaven and wonderful. Third, the quality of Lingbi stone is beautiful. Lingbi stone is rough and ancient, tough and greasy, and delicate and moist as jade. Lingbi stone is a carbonate rock in Paleoproterozoic strata, with a hardness of 3-6 degrees Mohs, and it is a long-lived combination of stone and stone. Zhao Erfeng, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, said, "I will be a teacher if I am faithful to the stone and don't flatter others. The stone is calm, not drifting, warm and pure, and I will be friends. "He regards the character of the stone as his role model, and regards it as his teacher and friend. This is the true meaning of appreciating the stone. Fourth, the color of Lingbi stone is beautiful. There are more than 70 peaks in Lingbi, which are rich in beautiful stones. The main stone types are: blue black stone, blue black stone, Anhui snail stone, grain stone, multicolored stone, striped stone (jade belt stone), white stone and many monochromatic stones, bichromatic stones and multicolored stones.

Especially those colorful colored stones and patterned stones, their textures grow in stone bodies with different background colors, with plain, convex, point, linear and planar patterns. Its texture is rich in color, mainly ink lines. Mr. Guo Xiyu, an academic member of the Stone Culture Committee of China Cultural Information Association and an expert with nearly 30 years' experience in collecting, researching and appreciating Lingbi stone, said that there have been two large-scale excavations and collections of Lingbi stone in history. Once in the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty. At first, the local people mined stones to build gardens or made sacrifices for the Qing Dynasty. After being praised by Su Shi and Mi Fei, his reputation became louder and louder until Hui Zong built Lunatone, which reached its climax. Since then, few people have lived in Tianjin. Wang Shouqian said, "The Zhou Dynasty has been unknown for more than 260 years. Even the author of the question doesn't know what Lingbi stone is. " In the thirty-seventh year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Hong, an imperial envoy, came to Lingbi to look for stones, and after the rain, he picked several squares in the ravine. As a result, the second wave of digging holes and taking stones began, and stone vendors followed. Wang Shouqian even worried that the local Lingbi stone would become "Guangling San" in excessive excavation. Since the mid-1990s, many strange stone museums and markets have been built all over the country, and various forms of stone cultural exhibitions and stone appreciation competitions have been held. The collection of strange stones is becoming more and more popular, and Lingbi stone, known as "the first strange stone in the world", is even more popular in the strange stone market, setting off the third wave of Lingbi stone collection. After 1990, powerful collectors from China, Korean, Japanese and Singaporean cities and Chinese mainland, Hongkong and Taiwan Province provinces went to Lingbi County, the main producing area of Lingbi stone, to find, excavate and buy Lingbi stone. At the place of origin, the price of a top-grade stone was only tens or hundreds of yuan at that time, but with a little finishing, it often rose by 10 times and 100 times when it was transported to other places. 1994 A 45cm-high lingbi stone at Sotheby's auction house in Hong Kong sold for $68,000. At the China Yashi Expo in 2006, it was reported that the palm-sized Lingbi stone "Suoyun" collected by Mi Fei, an outstanding painter of the Song Dynasty, was auctioned for 3 million yuan. Guo Xiyu bought a turtle-patterned lingbi stone from 300 yuan on 1992, and now it is worth120,000, which has increased by 400 times on 15. The soaring market value has greatly stimulated the collection and excavation of Lingbi stone. The local people regard quarrying as the way to get rich and dig stones one after another. As a non-renewable resource, Lingbi stone is becoming less and less. As an ornamental stone, the texture, shape, color and texture of Lingbi stone determine the memory of time and the value of Lingbi stone. When collecting, try to choose the Lingbi stone with outstanding performance in these four aspects. First of all, in terms of texture, things are rare, and the rarer the texture, the more worthy of collection. According to the rarity of texture, the first kind is turtle-patterned lingbi stone. This kind of lingbi stone is rare in the world because of its rare origin and previous over-exploitation. The second category should be "sound like Qing, quality like jade, color like ink". 1 On April 24th, 970, China successfully launched the first man-made earth satellite Dongfanghong 1 with the self-made "Long March1"carrier rocket, in which the melody of the music generator playing the melodious music of Dongfanghong to the whole world was played by a chime made of Lingbi stone. Nowadays, this kind of stone is extremely rare. The third category is jade-clean and clear lingbi stone, which is like white jade in texture and is also the top grade of the collection. The fourth category is black-red, brown-red, yellow-brown and striped lingbi stone, especially the black-red lingbi stone with more iron and a calm atmosphere is the top grade. Secondly, from the modeling point of view, Lingbi stone with the four elements of "thinness, permeability, leakage and wrinkle" is more valuable for collecting nails. For physical stones, Lingbi stone with moderate dynamic and static ratio and full charm is the most valuable for collection. For landscape stones with different shapes, the bottom of the stone should be "stable" first, and then the middle of the stone should change greatly, and the trend should conform to the natural mountain texture. Landscape stones with scenery on all sides are the best. Because most of the existing "Old Lingbi" in the world are giant garden landscapes, and most of them are preserved in Beijing Forbidden City, Kaifeng Dasuoguo Temple, Suzhou Wangshiyuan and other places of interest, it is very rare for "Old Lingbi" to be included in the list. Those abstract stones with great charm and outstanding characteristics are also a kind of modern lingbi stone, which has great room for appreciation. Third, in addition to those rare Lingbi stones, there are red, yellow, blue and green monsters in the collection of colored Lingbi stones. Fourth, texture. The texture of Lingbi stone is very beautiful. Among the many textures of Lingbi stone, spiral pattern and red pattern are the rarest and most precious, especially the white spirit stone with gold pattern and silver pattern, which is called the treasure in the stone. For the novice collectors of Lingbi Stone, Guo Xiyu suggested that the following questions should be paid attention to when collecting. First, we should have a sense of quality products, know more, ask more, see more and buy less. Second, be clear about your hobbies and specialties and have your own independent collection style. Third, BMW must be equipped with a golden saddle and strange stones. Fourth, choose pure natural Lingbi stone without any carving. Fifth, when choosing landscape stones, we should also consider whether the stones are in harmony with the size, shape and surrounding environment of halls and courtyards. Sixth, the maintenance of Lingbi stone. "It's easy to ask for a stone, but difficult to raise it", so we should pay special attention not to damage the stone body and not to smear it with wax, otherwise the ornamental value will be greatly reduced.
