Scholar’s Rock
The dark-grey Lingbi stone is of elongated form rising and twisting to create an internal tension, with angled protuberances and crevices, incised on one side with a four-line inscription excerpted from Eulogy of the Eighteen Luohan by the Song dynasty poet Su Shi, signed Jin Nong; another side with a long inscription which can be translated as 'This stone is awkward-shaped but has a clear sound when struck, therefore one can only comprehend it with one's heart/ mind. If Mi Fu saw it he would bow down before it, if it were Su Shi he would fold his arms in admiration.
