Abstract:
China’s stone culture has a long history and is rich and colorful. Crafts carved from a good piece of stone can give people visual pleasure, trigger aesthetic enlightenment and association, and have certain ornamental, decorative, and economic value. The process of designing and carving a piece of stone is very complex, and it requires the efforts of artists. Due to the preciousness and rarity of stone materials in the Hunan region, they are often used to make inkstones according to their shapes, screens according to their types, and ornaments according to their preferences. Therefore, carving and decoration on the stone surface are important components of inkstone products. Good stones require good craftsmanship, and suitability is the finishing touch. Otherwise, not only a good piece of stone will be lost, but the butterfly effect may also be a major loss in the history of Chinese civilization. This report starts with the “Three Wonders” of stone materials in Hunan Province, exploring their design features and main composition genes, with the aim of using the past for the present and promoting Hunan culture.
