Luzhou stone carving, Qu Ping, Qu Yu's heavy gold

Zang You Lao Qiu recently collected a piece of stone carving, but he did not know what material it was used for. Because I have collected some ancient temples, I have a little research on the stone, so I think it is the stone carving of Zhangzhou. It is the fine stone sculpture of the Quzhou during the Qing Dynasty.

During the period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Changde was known as the Yuzhou Prefecture. Luzhou stone, also known as Mingshan stone, Lixi stone, sunset stone, folk also known as the multicolored stone. Because of its fine stone, red, yellow, and green, it has been the first choice for making famous stone in Hunan. Before the Southern Song Dynasty, traders used to pretend to be the side stones. Therefore, many famous names such as “Zipao jade belt” in the temple were in fact Zhangzhou stone.

During Song Zongzong, an official named Wu Yan wanted to invite the emperor to petition for an imperial concubine. The nephew was a member of the state government of Bozhou Prefecture and was instructed to find a first-class artisan and produce an exquisite stone sculpture in Zhangzhou. Screen enters the emperor, Wu Yi obeys. Sure enough, the emperor Zhao Yan met with Long Yue, and added Wu Xiong, and sealed the place of production of the Quzhou stone, called "Accompanied by Hou," and used the Yinzhou stone carving as a "certificate" to reward the active minister. Since then, all the dynasties have used the stone carvings of Zhangzhou as a tribute. Therefore, Daguan nobles, literati, and merchants competed to buy, or treasure, play, or give presents, and they were hailed as “ancient stone, jade, and heavy jade”.

Mingshan Stone is a kind of cobblestone. There are black stone, green stone, purple jade belt, purple gold belt, gold ribbon, eyebrow pattern and gold stars. The stone is fine and smooth, colorful, able to resist pressure, bending, acid resistance, easy to saw, easy to grind, easy to polish, it is very suitable for making articles.

Zhuozhou Shizhu is mainly produced in Lixi, Daxi, Shenxi, Zhuzhaixi, Mulingang and Wushipo in Mingshan. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, Mingshan Stone was listed as a tribute by the court. Southern Song scholar Zhang Shinan wrote in his “Youzhi Jiwen”: “It was very inked at first, but it was slippery for a long time”, but as long as “finely rubbed with fine stone, it is still as new”.

Ancient and modern scholars believe that the state of Zhangzhou has risen in the Southern Song Dynasty. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Luzhou was sent to the court and was quite expensive. In many Ming dynasty works of ancient history, Cao Zhao’s “The Ancient Theory of Geguism” and Wen Zhenheng’s “Long Things History” all recorded the Mingshan stone seal in Zhangzhou. The production of plutonium centered on Lixi, but during the Qing Emperor Kangxi period, people found that in Wushipo, Mingshan Stone has large reserves, many types of products, and the stone is relatively soft and easy to grind. It has become the main producing area of ​​Pizhou.

In recent millennia, there have been very few fine-quality stone carvings in Chuzhou, and it is estimated that the number of preserved animals in the world is only about 300 to 400 pieces, and most of the fine items have been overseas.
