Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD)

Stones, under the hands of folk craftsmen, were transformed into

Myths and legends, filial sons and daughters, music and dances.

Records of social life

It's also a record of people's ordinary life thousands of years ago.

Qing Dynasty

Stones, listening to a monk and a Taoist monk's talk

They have experienced the glory and wealth of the world

Waiting for the discerning eyes and skillful hands of craftsmen

To give the stones a soul and make them
