Basic Introduction to Wuxuan Stone

Wuxuan Stone is produced in Hongshui River, Wuxuan County, Liuzhou Prefecture, Guangxi Province. This stone is distributed on the banks of the Qianjiang River in Wuxuan Town, buried in a 200 centimeter deep rock layer. The original rock is about 250 million years old and belongs to calcareous silicate rock with a hardness of about 5 degrees. The screen presents a variety of colorful patterns, resembling grass flowers, hence the name. Due to its proximity to the Qianjiang River, water and dissolved minerals fill the cracks and capillaries, forming various colors, textures, and images of mineral elements. The picture is created purely naturally, with portraits of people, landscape scenery, flowers, birds, fish, insects, flowers, trees, and scenic spots vividly portrayed in the texture of the stones. Due to its pure and rustic appearance, which is surprisingly similar to traditional Chinese painting, it is called "Chinese painting stone" or "grass flower stone". The People's Daily has reported on this peculiar stone

Wuxuan stone is produced in the lower reaches of the Qianjiang River in Laibin County, Liuzhou Prefecture, Guangxi Province, and in the area of Huangmao Town, Wuxuan County. This stone belongs to laminated rocks and is sporadically distributed. It is formed in the middle layer of siliceous rocks or limestone interlayers, often presenting colors such as red, yellow, brown, green, etc. The colors are moist, and the patterns penetrate and blend from the surface to the inside. It is named after its various colors of grass flowers on the surface, and is a new type of stone excavated in the 1990s. The color patterns of grass flower stones often reflect natural landscapes, as well as various patterns such as figures, flowers and birds, mountains and waters. The picture is delicate, some are like thick ink landscapes, some are like freehand brushwork, and some have oil painting effects. It is best to have harmonious colors, clear layers, vivid painting, and profound artistic conception

This stone has been formed through long-term water erosion and sand grinding, with a simple color and varied textures, mostly used as a decorative stone. There are dozens of varieties including traditional Chinese painting stone, colored pottery stone, water washed stone, stalactite, ink wash stone, yellow pebble, and yellow wax stone. Among them, the highly respected ones are traditional Chinese painting stone, colored pottery stone, and pebble known as the "Red Wuxuan". Wuxuan traditional Chinese painting stone, also known as grass flower stone, is mainly produced in the area of Wuxuan County in the lower reaches of the Qianjiang River. It is a unique type of stone in Wuxuan, and is named "traditional Chinese painting stone" due to its rich brushwork and charm in Chinese freehand landscape painting. Its colorful and moist colors are caused by the penetration of pigments from divalent, trivalent iron ions and tetravalent manganese ions

The discovery of traditional Chinese painting stones was initially made by farmers in Poguan Village, Ertang Township, Wuxuan County, Guangxi Province, while searching for water washed stones on the Qianjiang River near the Tiemaoshan Forest Farm in Laibin. Some of the water washed stones were found to have grass like patterns, which had certain ornamental value. Then, similar flower like patterns were found on the rocks on the shore that were washed away by the river water. After being collected and polished, they presented patterns of both flowers and landscapes. At the end of 1996, after being collected and polished by the villagers of Poguan, they were taken to Ma'anshan Stone City in Liuzhou City, immediately attracting the attention of ornamental stone collectors and stone merchants. Since 1997, starting from small-scale collection, there are now over 30 farmers in Poguan Village and more than 10 farmers in Liangzhai Village, Nansi Township, Laibin County collecting and listing through different channels. At present, it has gained more and more common sense and love among ornamental stone enthusiasts, who are eager to collect it
