The ancient Chinese initially loved stone for its strong character, which was an initial ethical response, thereafter developed the aesthetic response to form. Archaeological digs at Yinyang Camp near Nanjing (dating between five to six thousand years ago), revealed the beautiful Yuhua pebbles (Rain Flower Stones) which were buried in tombs with the dead.
Either Fengli Stones in the Inner Mongolian Plains, Lake Tai stones is the area south of the Yangtze River, Lingbi Stones in the mountainous districts in Anhui Province or coloured pebbles in the regions of Huanghe River, show the fluent and smooth forms and veins in different ways and to different extents.
