A glimpse of Lucheng (XI): Qingtian Stone Sculpture Museum

In Qingtian, there is an interesting museum - Qingtian Stone Sculpture Museum, which houses cute treasures that can melt people's hearts. As the distribution center of Qingtian stone cultural tourism and the only professional stone carving culture museum in China, the Qingtian Stone Sculpture Museum carries the epitome of 6,000 years of stone carving history and great hopes for the future. The museum houses representative works of national masters, famous works of past dynasties, and masterpieces of contemporary artists. It is a symbol of Qingtian culture and spirit. "There are stones as beautiful as jade, and Qingtian is the most magnificent in the world." Qingtian stone carving originated in the "Songze Culture" period 5,000 years ago, and absorbed the "Qiaoyu Stone" craftsmanship in the Qing Dynasty, creating the "multi-level hollow carving" technology for Chinese stone carving. Qingtian Stone is one of the "Four Famous Stones of China". As a mainstream seal stone, it is known as the "Book Stone". A small stone may exist on the earth for hundreds of millions of years, witnessing the passage of time and changes in the world, and containing cosmic energy. Just like the Heshi Bi, to those who understand it, it is a priceless treasure, but to those who don’t, it is just a piece of stubborn stone. Being able to identify treasures from the ordinary is also a kind of wisdom. Even if you cannot reach professional level, it is good to know this concept. The stone carvings of fruits, flowers, trees, pavilions, towers and figures carved from hard stone are so lifelike and realistic in details that they embody the hard work of generations of stone carving craftsmen. In Qingtian, stone carving is undoubtedly a business card that cannot be avoided. So when you come to Qingtian, the China Stone Carving Cultural Tourism Area is definitely a tourist attraction you cannot miss!
