Collecting jade and rare stones was a very meaningful hobby. In terms of cultural content, the ancients said that "mountains are not strange without stones, water is not clear without stones, gardens are not beautiful without stones, and houses are not elegant without stones". Appreciating stones can clear one's heart and make one happy, enlighten one's mind, and enrich one's patience, perseverance, and state of mind. In terms of artistic value, strange stones were natural works of art. They were the spirits and wonders of nature. If the beauty of their patterns and shapes could be perfectly unified, it would be a high-quality product. Ornamental stones had a variety of shapes, colorful colors, and ever-changing patterns. Every strange stone was like an endless poem, an endless book, and a painting that could not be seen enough. In the collection market, there were many enthusiasts sharing. For example, Cao Peilu, a member of the China Collectors Association, had collected jade articles, strange stones, etc., and had also published relevant collection papers. There were also many collection expositions, such as the Rare Stone and Jade Collection Exposition in Jinzhong Tea City in Yinzhou. At the exhibition, you could see all kinds of rare stone and jade artworks. Moreover, appreciating the strange stones also had the effect of cultivating one's body and mind. It was even better than activities such as zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, planting flowers, and raising birds. It could allow one to reach the highest state of mind art of "stone and man as one", allowing one to associate life situations and realize the essence of nature. Read more exciting novels for free
Cultural relics and strange stones had unique value and significance. From the definition and relationship, strange stones could also be part of cultural relics. For example, the strange stone "Dongpo Pork" in the National Palace Museum in Taiwan was a cultural relic in itself, and the rain stone unearthed from the archaeological site also belonged to the category of cultural relics. In terms of value characteristics, the preciousness of strange stones lay in their naturalness, scarcity, uniqueness, and artistry. In addition to the lack of naturalness (because some cultural relics were processed and manufactured), they also had scarcity, uniqueness, and artistry. Moreover, the historical and cultural value they carried might be broader and deeper. Therefore, there was no such thing as one surpassing the other. Both were part of China traditional culture. From the examples, there were many famous cultural relics and strange stones. For example, the Dongpo Meat Strange Stone in the National Palace Museum in Taibei was originally made of natural jade. It was 6.6 centimeters wide and 5.73 centimeters high. The fat and thin layers of meat were distinct, and the texture was clear. The pores on the pig skin were clearly visible. After a little polishing by skilled craftsmen, there were slight stains in some places. It was a tribute from the second generation of Prince A Bao of the Alxa Banner Palace to the emperor during the Qing Dynasty. There was also a rare stone from Shaanxi Province that was collected by the Qixia City Geoculture Strange Stone Museum. It was one of the four famous jades in China, commonly known as vegetable jade. It was 1.6 meters high, 0.8 meters wide, and 0.12 meters thick. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

What you want to ask might be," If there is a stone like jade, it can be used as a needle." There was a record in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that the needles here were the earliest exploration of people to treat diseases. At that time, people tried to use some sharp stones to stab certain parts of the body or artificially pierce the body to make it bleed to reduce pain. This method of using stones as needles to treat diseases could be traced back to the Neolith Age. Primitive people used stone tools, known as stone needles, which were mostly used to puncture empyesis and then used to puncture collaterals and purge blood. For example, the historical materials mentioned in Zuo Zhuan that "beautiful things are not as good as evil stones" could also prove the wisdom of ancient people using stone needles to treat diseases.
