奇石，系指天然形成的形状不一般的石头，其材质、造型、色彩及花纹不同寻常，能够满足人们的猎奇或审美习性，可供观赏收藏把玩，如中国四大奇石：《东坡肉形石》、《岁月》、《中华神鹰》、《小鸡出壳》。奇石在我国历史上又称为怪石、雅石、供石、案石、几石、玩石、巧石、趣石、珍石、孤赏石等，我国台湾及港澳称为“雅石”，日本称“水石”，在韩国称“寿石”。中国是东方赏石文化的发祥地。以自然奇石为现货对象的，中国历史上有文字记载的，至少可追溯到3000多年前的春秋时期。据《太平御览·阚子》载：“宋之愚人，得燕石于梧台之东，归而藏之，以为大宝，周客闻而观焉。”其实，远在此前的商、周时期(公元前二十世纪)，作为赏石文化的先导和前奏——赏玉活动就已十分普及。《山海经》和《轩辕黄帝传》中指出：黄帝乃我国之“首用玉者”。由于玉产量太少而十分珍贵，故以“美石”代之，自在情理之中。因此，中国赏石文化最初实为赏玉文化的衍生与发展。《说文》云：“玉，石之美者”，这就把玉也归为石之一类了。于是奇石、怪石后来也常跻身宝玉之列而成了颇具地方特色的上贡物品。《尚书·禹贡》曾载：当时各地贡品中偶有青州“铅松怪石”和徐州“泗滨浮磬”。显然，这些3000多年前的“怪石”和江边“浮磐”都是作为赏玩之物被列为“贡品”的。很可能这就是早期的石玩，即以天然奇石为观赏对象的可移动玩物。
The stone refers to the stone of unusual shape formed naturally, and its material, shape, color and pattern are unusual, which can meet people's curiosity or aesthetic habits, and can be viewed and collected for play, such as the four great stones of China: "Dongpo Flesh-shaped Stone", "Years", "Chinese Divine Eagle", "Chicken out of the shell". In Chinese history, the stone is also known as the strange stone, elegant stone, stone, case stone, several stones, playing stone, Qiao stone, interesting stone, precious stone, solitary stone, etc., China's Taiwan and Hong Kong and Macao called "elegant stone", Japan called "water stone", in South Korea called "longevity stone". China is the birthplace of Oriental stone appreciation culture. With natural stones as the spot object, there are written records in Chinese history, at least dating back to the Spring and Autumn Period more than 3,000 years ago. According to "Taiping Imperial View · Kan Zi", "a foolish man of Song Dynasty got Yan stone in the east of Wutai and hid it in his home as a great treasure. In fact, as far back as the Shang and Zhou periods (20th century BC), as the precursor and prelude of stone appreciation culture - jade appreciation activities have been very popular. In the book of Mountains and Seas and the Biography of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, it is pointed out that Yellow Emperor is the "first jade user" in China. Because the output of jade is too little and very precious, it is replaced by "beautiful stone", which is in good sense. Therefore, the Chinese stone appreciation culture is originally the derivation and development of jade appreciation culture. "Shuowen" cloud: "jade, the beauty of stone", which also classified jade as one of the stones. Therefore, strange stones and strange stones were often included in the list of jade and became a tribute item with local characteristics. "Shang Shu Yu Gong" once said: At that time, there were occasional tributes in Qingzhou "lead pine strange stone" and Xuzhou "Sibin floating Qing". Obviously, these "strange rocks" and "floating rocks" by the river more than 3,000 years ago are listed as "tribute" as things to enjoy. It is likely that this is the early stone play, that is, the natural stone as the object of viewing movable playthings.

从某种意义上说，一部浩如烟海的人类文明史，也就是一部漫长的由简单到复杂、由低级到高级的石文化史。人类的祖先从旧石器时期利用天然石块为工具当武器，到新石器时期的打制石器；从营巢穴居时期简单地利用石头为建筑材料，到现代化豪华建筑中大量应用的花岗岩、大理石装饰材料；从出土墓葬中死者的简单石制饰物，到后来的精美石雕和宝玉石工艺品；各种石头始终伴随着人类从蛮荒，逐步定向现代文明，直至久远的未来。古今一切利用石头的行为及其理论，就构成了石文化的基本内容。从这个意义上说，石文化现象不分古今、中外，是全人类所共有的。赏石文化则是人类石文化现象中的一个重要分支，其基本内容是以天然石块为主要观赏对象，以及为观赏天然奇石而，总结出来的一套理论、原则与方法。一般来说，东方赏石文化比较注重人文内涵和哲理，有比较抽象的理念和人格化的感情色彩，其观赏主体往往丰富多彩，甚至可随心所欲、因人而异，可以这样认为：东方赏石文化实际上是东方民族传统文化在现赏石领域中的反映与延伸。赏石文化的源头在中国，像著名的田园诗人陶渊明就以自然石为欣赏对象，奉为开创“赏石先河”的鼻祖。中国赏石文化早在公元二世纪中叶的东汉便开始在上层社会流行；到南朝(五、六世纪)，已达相当水平。
In a sense, a vast history of human civilization is a long history of stone culture from simple to complex, from low to high. The ancestors of human beings used natural stones as tools and weapons from the Paleolithic period to the Neolithic period. From the simple use of stone as building materials in the period of nesting, to the extensive application of granite and marble decorative materials in modern luxury buildings; From the simple stone ornaments of the dead in the unearthed tombs, to the exquisite stone carvings and precious jade crafts later on; All kinds of stones have always accompanied mankind from the wilderness, gradually oriented to modern civilization, until the distant future. All the behaviors and theories of using stone in ancient and modern times constitute the basic content of stone culture. In this sense, stone culture phenomenon is common to all mankind, regardless of ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign. Stone appreciation culture is an important branch of human stone culture. Its basic content is a set of theories, principles and methods summed up by natural stones as the main viewing objects and natural stones as the viewing objects. Generally speaking, the Oriental stone culture pays more attention to the humanistic connotation and philosophy, has a more abstract concept and personal emotional color, its viewing subject is often rich and colorful, and even can be arbitrary, vary from person to person, it can be believed that: the Oriental stone culture is actually the traditional culture of the eastern nation in the field of the present stone reflection and extension. The source of stone appreciation culture is in China, like the famous pastoral poet Tao Yuanming, who takes natural stone as the object of appreciation and regards it as the ancestor of "stone appreciation". As early as the middle of the second century AD in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Chinese stone appreciation culture began to be popular in the upper society; By the Southern Dynasty (fifth and sixth centuries), it had reached a considerable level.

此件珍品上的图案“鹊桥仙”来自于中国民间牛郎与织女的爱情传说。牛郎是牛家庄的一个孤儿，依哥嫂过活。嫂子马氏为人刻薄，经常虐待他，他被迫分家出来，靠一头老牛自耕自食。这头老牛很通灵性，有一天，织女和诸仙女下凡游戏，在河里洗澡，老牛劝牛郎去取织女的衣服，织女便做了牛郎的妻子。婚后，他们男耕女织，生了一儿一女，生活十分美满幸福。不料天帝查知此事，派王母娘娘押解织女回天庭受审。老牛不忍他们妻离子散，于是触断头上的角，变成一只小船，让牛郎挑着儿女乘船追赶。眼看就要追上织女了，王母娘娘忽然拔下头上的金钗，在天空划出了一条波涛滚滚的银河。牛郎无法过河，只能在河边与织女遥望对泣。他们坚贞的爱情感动了喜鹊，无数喜鹊飞来，用身体搭成一道跨越天河的彩桥，让牛郎织女在天河上相会。王母娘娘无奈，只好允许牛郎织女每年七月七日在鹊桥上会面一次。所以传说在每年农历七月初七，牛郎织女会在鹊桥相会。而人们会在每年七夕搭制香桥，祭祀双星，乞求福祥，表达了中国劳动人民对美好生活的热爱、向往和追求。
The pattern on this treasure "Magpie Bridge Fairy" comes from the Chinese folk legend of the love between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Niu Lang is an orphan of Niu Jia Zhuang, living by brother's sister-in-law. His sister-in-law Ma Shi was mean and often abused him, and he was forced to separate the family and rely on an old cow to farm and feed himself. This old cow was very spiritual. One day, Zhinu and other fairies went down to the world to play and bathe in the river. The old cow persuaded the Niulang to take Zhinu's clothes, and the girl became the wife of the Niulang. After marriage, they farm and weave, gave birth to a son and a daughter, and lived a very happy life. Unexpectedly, the emperor checked the matter and sent the Queen Mother to escort Zhinu back to heaven for trial. The old cow could not bear the separation of their wives and children, so he touched the horn on the broken head and turned into a small boat, allowing the cowboy to catch up with his children by boat. Seeing that she was about to catch up with the Weaver girl, the Queen Mother suddenly pulled off the hairpin on her head and drew a rolling galaxy in the sky. Cowherd can not cross the river, only in the river and Weaver girl look at the SOB. Their steadfast love moved the magpies, countless magpies flew, with their bodies to build a bridge across the sky River, so that Cowherd and Weaver girl meet on the Sky River. The Queen Mother had no choice but to allow the Cowherd and Weaver girls to meet on the magpie Bridge once a year on July 7. So the legend says that on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month every year, the cowherd and the Weaver will meet on the magpie Bridge. And people will make a incense bridge on the Seventh day of the year, worship the double stars, and beg for good fortune, which expresses the love, yearning and pursuit of the Chinese working people for a better life.
宋代词人秦观也曾写有著名的《鹊桥仙·纤云弄巧》：“纤云弄巧，飞星传恨，银汉迢迢暗度。金风玉露一相逢，便胜却人间无数。柔情似水，佳期如梦，忍顾鹊桥归路。两情若是久长时，又岂在朝朝暮暮。”后世流传至今，以超人间的方式表现人间的悲欢离合，“牛郎、织女”故事的悲剧性特征点明，练达而凄美。词人叙写牵牛、织女二星相爱的神话故事，赋予这对仙侣浓郁的人情味，讴歌了真挚、细腻、纯洁、坚贞的爱情。词中明写天上双星，暗写人间情侣；其抒情，以乐景写哀，以哀景写乐，倍增其哀乐，读来荡气回肠，感人肺腑。这种正确的恋爱观，这种高尚的精神境界，远远超过了古代同类作品，是十分难能可贵的。自由流畅，通俗易懂，却又显得婉约蕴藉，余味无穷。《鹊桥仙》表达了一种对于美好长久真诚的爱情的向往。而在奇石中形成的这种文化基质，更给石头增添了人文的力量和色彩，折射出人类丰富的文化意蕴。
Song Dynasty poet Qin Guan also wrote a famous "Queqiao fairy · Qianyuyun Qiao" : "Qianyuyun Qiao, flying star spread hate, Yinhan far dark degree. When the gold wind and jade dew meet, they win the world countless. Tender like water, happy day like a dream, endure Gu magpie bridge return. If the two love for a long time, will not be in the morning and evening." Later generations have been handed down to the present, in the way of superhuman performance of human grief and joy, "Cowherd, Weaver girl" story of the tragic characteristics of the point, sophisticated and beautiful. The poet wrote a mythic story about the love between the two stars of the morning glory and the weaving girl, which endowed the celestial couple with a strong human touch and eulogized the sincere, delicate, pure and steadfast love. Words in the sky to write double stars, dark write human lovers; Its lyricism, write sadness with music, write music with sadness, multiply its sadness, read to the gut, touching the heart. This correct view of love, this noble spiritual realm, far exceeds the ancient similar works, is very valuable. Free and smooth, easy to understand, but also appears to be graceful, infinite aftertaste. "Magpie Bridge Fairy" expresses a longing for a good and lasting sincere love. The cultural matrix formed in the stone adds the power and color of humanity to the stone, reflecting the rich cultural implications of human beings.
