The value of viewing stone is divided into historical value, cultural value, scientific value and collection value. These values exist in the cultural connotation implied in fine stone and the scarcity beyond congener. A viewing stone contains of the cultural content and geological features, and even involves some significant historical commemorative significance, such as displayed in the Zi Guang Ge of Zhong Nan Hai, The Luoyang peony stone, its value is self-evident and unique. In the traditional viewing stone culture, an elegance viewing stone can be used for architectural decoration, or put it in the library for private display. A "valuable" viewing stone must own some features that have shape, quality, color, pattern, spirit, but usually, the treasures can not be gained easily. In fact, the viewing stone is a "discovered art", which is closely related to the experience and knowledge of the viewer, you must go through these features to find the unique theme, but it's not easy.
"A true man loves the mountains. A wise man loves the sea." We hope that this exhibition would make more followers to give impetus to the Chinese art and culture of viewing stone. As president XU Wenqiang said, "Let us go this way together, carry forward the viewing stone art and culture! "
