this rain flower stone is not yet named. I hope readers can help a famous journalist, Fu Qiyuan, to take
home. Wang Yufang, the old man of the southern community of mulberry, has been 84 years old this year. He was a police officer of a police station. After retiring, he did not idle away. He made his own artistic creation, the root carving, the feather painting, the tiger... But most of the old people could not help it, or he spent 23 years, carefully collected more than 200 pieces of rain stone. In order to increase the appreciation of the rain stone, the old man almost gave every rain stone name, but only one piece of it did not come up with a very appropriate name. No, the old man hopes to find more inspiration for him through the Commercial Daily report.
Lord Wang and Yuhua stone's connection is a visit to the cultural market. "There was a wholesaler from Nanjing at that time selling rain and flower stone. A lot of people snapped up and bought it. I didn't think that the more I liked it, I also picked a few pieces".
with the buy back of the rain stone, Lord Wang but every day, with the baby like, "just a few pieces, think not addicting, want to buy more, but pick up a special fee time. At that time, I spent a sum of 200 yuan on a bag, and I had about 100 Jin in the bag. I bought it carefully and picked it up again. If I pick the rest, I will set up a stall with my wife and children, and sell the money to buy the new rain flower stone.
in such a few years, Uncle Wang had more than 40 thousand stones, and he picked more than 200 out of them. Once the two raindrop collectors in Nanjing had an exhibition in Baotu Spring, the master went to visit. In the meantime, they found each piece of raindrop with its own name and some ancient poems. "Reading these names and looking at the stones, they found more fun and appreciation. Every stone has a lot of stone." The story of my own.
in order to give his Yuhua stone a beautiful name, Uncle Wang began collecting ancient poetry and verse. "I feel very excited about every poem I read," he said, "and then I went to see my collection of rain and flower stones, and compared the artistic conception and poetry of the stone texture, summed up in the brain and realized slowly." Uncle Wang said that the name was not urgent. Many of them came to mind suddenly, and the names would be changed frequently until he felt satisfied.
the master now designs and sets a glass box for the rain stone. In order to better highlight the beauty and pour the water in the box, the first thing he has to do is to look and touch it early every day. Through the sunlight, the rain flower stone in the water reflects the gorgeous luster. Looking at the poem marked at the bottom of the box, there is no artistic conception.
now, Lord Wang still has a piece of rain stone that has not been satisfied with his name. The reporter sees that his rain stone is small, the appearance is slightly square, and the black and white appearance is not special. It is no wonder that the king did not think of a proper name for more than 20 years. If you have any good idea, please tell the reporter, let the elderly reference.
