  Weekly Stone Appreciation
 
Weekly stone--005--MT Songshan
Date£º2008-11-10

In Taoism, Mt. Songshan is considered the central axis of the five sacred mountains, symbolizing earth in the religion's belief that five elements make up the world. Legend says that Taoists searched throughout China to match these crucial elements. They came up with Hengshan in Shanxi for wood, Hengshan in Hunan for fire, Taishan in Shandong for water and Huashan in Shaanxi for metal. Songshan occupies the axis - directly under heaven.

This mountain ¨Cshaped Gobi stone is of unique beauty not only for its old-fashioned color and wavy ranges. What¡¯s more, the wrinkle, the caves and the gulches are all perfectly shaped. Aren¡¯t there someone who are playing chess in the cave?
