Chinese Scholar Stone Mountain Form with Display Stand
About the Item
A small desk top Chinese scholar stones (also known as Gong Shi, meditation stone and spirit rock) on a fitted display wood stand circa 19th century. This is likely a grey Lingbi type stone with subtle arch mimics a horizontal mountain range. The wrinkles and folds on the greyish black surface were perfectly weathered by elements for millenniums. Smooth and rugged at the same time, the mountain range shows a poetic formation that was often depicted in the ink scroll and conveys a timeless beauty. There is a thick white vein sandwiched in the middle of the stone, suggesting a winter snow scenery. It is a visual pleasure to meditate on this rock as it can be viewed from front and back as well as different angles.
For two similar horizonal mountain shape Lingbi stone, see page 41 and 42 of "Spirit Stones the Ancient Art of the Scholar's Rock" by Kemin Hu and Thomas S. Elias.

Not only in China but also in Japan from ancient times, rocks in the mountains have been shaved and stones for viewing have been quarried. Such stones for appreciation are collectively called "suiseki". Suiseki means "water" and "stone".
