Because the source of stone is located in Lingnan, the transportation is inconvenient, and it is very expensive since ancient times.
The "Yingshi Zhilin" takes the Yingzhou shape and the Yingshi Zhengrong as clues, and widely collects the poetry and rhetoric of the literati since the Tang and Song dynasties, including the relevant descriptions of the Yingshi in the Edo period in Japan, reflecting a broad vision. It comprehensively, completely and systematically reflects the humanities of Yingzhou (Yingde) and Yingshi.
Mr. Fan Bai's book "Yingshi Zhilin" recently held a launch ceremony in Guangzhou and England and Germany. This compilation of nearly 200,000 words took Brother Fan ten years of work and reviewed thousands of works of the past dynasties. This book takes Yingzhou Xingsheng and Yingshi Zhengrong as clues, and Guangluo has praised Yingshi and Yingzhou's poetry and rhetoric since the Tang and Song dynasties, comprehensively, completely and systematically reflects the humanities of Yingzhou (Yingde) and Yingshi, and also fills a gap in the study of classical stone appreciation.
Brother Fan was born in England and Germany, but in his early years, he was obsessed with poetry and writing, and according to his own words in the back of the book, "I turned a blind eye for more than ten years". It wasn't until later that I accompanied a friend from other places to visit Shi, and I hated to see each other late. Once he fell in love with the stone, Brother Fan thought about how to carry forward the famous things of his homeland.
Brother Fan is rich in poetry, can write and paint, is the director of the Guangdong Chinese Poetry Society, the vice president of the Wengshan Poetry and Painting Institute, and has published "Stone Throwing Collection" and "Dream Bailu Poems" and so on. Strange stones and stone friends are also frequent themes in his poems, including the fact that he was fortunate enough to get blue eyes. For example, "A Song of Inscription Ying Mountain, Mountain and Stone": "There is a lot of good atmosphere on the mountain, and the green clouds come suddenly." Cut a piece to the sky and leave it with the desk. The collection of poems and texts from the Tang Dynasty to the present day, including the relevant descriptions of the stones in the Catalogue of Calligraphy, Painting and Calligraphy of Koyama Rindo (1779-1858) by the famous sinologist Ichikawa Mian (1779-1858), reflecting a broad vision. In addition to the anthologies of poets and writers, it also widely involves Fang Zhi, ** calligraphy and painting inscriptions, cliff stone carvings, etc., which are all-encompassing and should be collected. For example, the inscription poems and paintings around the poets of contemporary British stone masterpieces (small lotus pond, Bi Linglong) are also extremely elegant.
The famous "Little Lotus Pond" is painted by Huaiyi.
The famous British stone "Bi Linglong" and the hall painting.
Brother Fan and I can be described as gentlemen's friends, and I don't seem to have eaten at the same table in my memory, but we have been friends for a long time. It wasn't until March 2020 that we added WeChat. Maybe they have similar interests, but they can be said to be profound. At that time, Brother Fan presented the preliminarily completed catalogue of the "Manuscripts of the Records of the Stones" (more than 100 ancient poems and texts are less than those published today) and discussed with me. Because I had been paying attention to the ancient stone inscriptions, I quickly supplemented and corrected some poems together, and this continued intermittently for more than a year. During this period, there were really some major discoveries, which can be described as full of surprises.
For example, based on the clues provided by Jiang Hui, a writer and writer in Suzhou, I wrote a column "The Old Man of Quyuan "Teaching the Scriptures Stone"". It is said that the late Qing Dynasty Confucian Yu Yue got his **, when the Guangdong Xuezheng Xu Qi sent a stone, Xu Qi found a stone in the Yingde Mountain, shaped like an old man sitting and watching the book, he thought of the teacher once painted the "Scripture Drawing" and the teacher painted the image of the "Lesson Sun Map", so it was titled "Lecture Stone", sent to the teacher thousands of miles away, and made the "Scripture Teaching Stone Song". Yu Yue was very happy after getting the stone, and also wrote "The Song of the Stone of the Scriptures", and the last two sentences have "Only the stone is treasured in the world, and this stone is my photo." Putting it on the desk and snickering to myself, I am a stone man in the mountains. It was pointed out that this square pictogram stone was a few offering stones. This stone "teaching stone" not only witnesses the teacher-student relationship of Yu Yue and Xu Qi, but also the extremely rare historical materials of this great Confucian. Naturally, the "Song of the Teaching Stone" of the two teachers and students was included in the "Yingshi Zhilin".

Because the source of stone is located in Lingnan, the transportation is inconvenient, and it is very expensive since ancient times. According to the Southern Song Dynasty Du Juan's "Yunlin Stone Spectrum" "Yingshi" cloud: "This stone is far overseas, and the Jia people rarely know it, but the valley (referring to Huang Tingjian, the valley Taoist) is said to be Xiangzhou (now Xiangzhou, Guangxi) is too expensive to pay for the return, and the ancient can also be heard. The so-called "overseas" is because the source of stone is in Yingzhou, Lingnan, and the local quarrying or purchase of stone to be transported to the north is often through the Beijiang River, the Pearl River, and then through the sea to the north, and the land route needs to go over the mountains and mountains, which is not only time-consuming and costly, but also inconvenient to transport. Therefore, in the poem written by Su Dongpo for the green stone "Qiu Chi Stone", there is "Sea Stone to Pearl Palace, beautiful as green." ("The servant hides the enemy pond stone, and the treasure of the rare generation. Wang Jinqing borrowed a view with small poems, intending to win. The servant did not dare not borrow it, but the so-called "sea stone" here refers to the (English) stone transported from the sea.
Qiu Chi Stone is undoubtedly the favorite of Su Dongpo's Tibetan stones, and it is also a famous product in the British stone ("Ying Shi Zhilin" is included as the "inheritance edition"), so that later there are people who call the British stone Qiu Chi Stone. However, "Yingshi Zhilin" includes Zhang Shunmin's "Su Zizhan's Lamentation" in the Song Dynasty: "Stone and people are degraded, and people are still alive." But pity is hard and heavy, and does not reduce the scars of the waves. Drink Zhongshan wine and refill eight pots. The public does not return to the north, and a thousand miles beckons the soul. This poem is not about Qiu Chi Stone, but about Xuelang Stone (now in the garden of Dingzhou Armed Police Hospital in Hebei Province, Tibet), and it is also Su Dongpo's love stone, for which Qianlong has written dozens of poems.

It is worth distinguishing that Du Juan's "Yunlin Stone Spectrum" stated that "the valley is said to be Xiangzhou Taishou Fei Wan Jin Zai (Yingshi)" is obviously exaggerated (or the engraving is wrong). Because, at that time, 10,000 taels of silver was equivalent to the annual salary of the county for more than six years. According to my research, this source is in Huang Tingjian's first year of Chongning (1102) "Jiuhua Mountain Stone in the Book Pot", which mentions: "The person who is like Jiang Taishou spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, and carried three stones from Lingnan to the north to return to ......."It refers to Uncle Feng Cai, the Taishou of Xiangzhou (now Xiangzhou, Guangxi), who spent a few hundred taels of silver to buy Sanfang (Yingshi) and transport it back to his hometown in the north (Henan) (during the Northern Song Dynasty, one tael of silver was equal to two thousand yuan). A few hundred taels of silver, which is about equivalent to a few months' salary in the county, which is a more reasonable statement, and it also shows that the stone ** was really expensive at that time. Therefore, "Xiangzhou is too shou to pay 10,000 gold to return" is obviously wrong, it should be "Xiangzhou is too shou to pay 10,000 money to return" or "Xiangzhou is too shou to pay 100 gold to return".
"Yingshi Zhilin" includes more than 30 poems praised by 21 poets in the Song Dynasty, and there is no shortage of famous sentences, which is undoubtedly a "treasure mine" to be explored. Including the Southern Song Dynasty poet Lu You and the teacher (Zeng Ji) and ** (Dai Retro), the three generations of teachers and students have praised the poetry of Yingshi, which seems to be a kind of inheritance, which is very rare. Why do the poets of the Two Song Dynasty frequently sing poems praising Yingshi, I feel that this is related to the culture of degrading officials. These poems can be regarded as derogatory literature. Most of these poets had the experience of degrading officials and being exiled to Lingnan, including Su Dongpo and the "Sumen Si**" Yuan You Party Membership Tablet "with 309 people"), Huang Tingjian even died in Yizhou, Lingnan (now Yishan County, Guangxi). At that time, Lingnan was regarded as a place of foreign medicine, also known as the hometown of miasma, and became an important place of exile for the imperial court to deal with "criminal officials", and a large number of politically frustrated people were relegated here, but it also invisibly promoted the civilization process of Lingnan. For example, the Southern Song Dynasty poet Zeng Feng (nine poems), who included the most Yongshi poems in "Yingshi Zhilin", was also a physicist, a native of Le'an, Jiangxi, and was relegated to Guangdong for three years in the eleventh year of Chunxi (1184), and had been to Yingzhou several times, and had a soft spot for Yingshi: "The stone is not the same as other stones, its color is brilliant and the sound is exquisite, and the hill is abrupt and heavy. Zeng Feng also has five poems of "Yude Stone Mountain, Southwest Road Li Jian Chang Suozhi, Attached Sea Ship to Three Mountains" (not included in "Yingshi Zhilin"), which should also be said to be British.

It is undeniable that there are still many "blind boxes" to be cracked in ancient stone research. For example, the "Wei Shi" included in "Yingshi Zhilin" is worth distinguishing. "Wei Shi" is a famous stone in Guilin in the late Qing Dynasty, the owner Li Bingli Jiangxi Linchuan (now belongs to Fuzhou, Jiangxi) people, Qianlong period was an official to the criminal department of Jiangsu Shilangzhong, but "the service is not much, the marriage in Guilin, the relatives do not come out." Li Bingli's poems, the calligraphy of his eldest son Li Zonghan, and the paintings of his sixth brother Li Bingshou were called "three unique poems, calligraphy and paintings" at that time, which can be described as an elegant style and popular in Guilin. Li Bingli is elegant and ancient, travels extensively, because of admiration for the Tang Dynasty poet Wei Yingwu, so he took the name Wei Lu, "Wei Shi" is a garden named after him in the name of Wei Yingwu, "both to Wei Minglu, and then to Wei Mingshi." Sit down under the stone and enter the poem. He wrote in "Wei Lu Eight Songs: Stone": "At any cost, I can buy mountains and stones." There is no time to bow down, who can know this habit. At that time, there were many poets and inkmen who wrote poems and paintings around "Wei Shi", and it was also very prosperous. As for what kind of stone "Wei Shi" is, the records of the time are not clear.
The Ming Dynasty stone provided in the Imperial Garden of the Forbidden City.
Yingshi Zhilin" includes a poem by the Qing Dynasty poet Zhang Weiping "Viewing Wei Shi has Mr. Huai Wei Lu": "Wei Lu people are ancient, and Wei Shi has a peak. The crepe is all ready, and it is impossible to say that it will come and go. The bitter chant has been accompanied, and the picture still has traces. The location is good, and the lonely cloud has roots. There is also a Guangxi poet Wei Xiumeng's poem "Linchuan Li's family collection Wei Shi squatting, half erosion, and there is a work after the visit". Painting the fan surface of Jia Lian's "Wei Shi Tu" (made in 1853, collected by the Guangzhou Art Museum), the light ink depicts this "Wei Shi", the body is jade, the leakage is both, there are many holes, more like Taihu Lake stone, and there is an inscription: "This Mr. Wei Lu appreciates Wei Shi." Embedding the void and steep, the height of the ** ruler, Mr. Zhang Nanshan said the clouds: 'The crepe is full of thinness, and the past and the present are not spoken', that is. Ugly Xiaochun, with the three brothers of Ding Ming, went to watch. Ding Ming and Yu have the same negative Mi Lao fetish, and they can't bear to go, because they write their form at the end of the ring, so as to meet right. Tonight, the nunnery lives in the nest and knows each other. Li Bingli, the master of the stone, said in the preface of the poem "Moving the Stone": "There are people from the sea, and I am the stone, rugged and steep, the cave is empty, and the treasure of the world is sincere." Put it in Wei Lu, because of the name of Wei Shi, it has been read for more than twenty years. And praised this stone "wrinkled and thin painting is not as good, exquisite Shixi has." The Qiu Chi is not precious, and the spirit wall is not a coincidence. It can be seen that this Fang Li Peak is three meters high, from its morphological characteristics, the probability is Taihu Lake stone, the so-called "Qiu Chi is not enough to treasure, the spirit wall is not its couple", it is named that this stone is neither the British stone (Qiu Chi stone), nor the Lingbi stone.

Ancient gardens stand on the peak, Taihu Lake stone is the most common (Lingnan occasionally sees stone), people are familiar with it, so they generally do not deliberately name its stone species, as if it is conventional. For example, Song Huizong's "Xianglong Stone Map" and its inscription poem, although it did not name what kind of stone, and the stone world has held a special seminar for this purpose (including Taihu stone, Lingbi stone, British stone, etc.), but there is no doubt that the probability of Taihu stone is greater. Because throughout the history of the famous painters painted stones, the garden stones that do not clearly name the stone species are mostly Taihu Lake stones.
