Rockery view of Huang Shan stones
The appearance of Autumn Rockery is high and steep, almost kissing, the clouds and stretching Long and unbroken. It is divided into the west peak, the middle peak and the south peak. Among which the middle peak is the major peak and the other tow are minor peaks. They take care of one another like host and guests. Their different heights from the rise and fall of the rockery. The middle peak is the most dangerously steep. Its towering crags are amazing. It seems that the work of piling up stones on tips of peak was left unfinished. It is really thought provoking. Here the stone layers used mainly the skill that first they made a piece of stone outstretching horizontally in the air from the rockery, and then, they crected a stone on the top of the outstretched one, that’s creating the scene that each stone of Autumn Rockery is a range viewed in face and peaks viewed from the side. Assuming different shapes viewed from far and near.” This exhibits the specific charm of Mt. Huang Shan.
If one goes down from the top of the rockery, one will feel most keenly that the internal part of the while rockery is empty. This is the skill of emptiness and solidity. Relatively speaking, A lake stone rockery is easier to pile up than a Huang Shan rockery, because the former itself is porous and gives one a sense of being free and natural. But Huang stone has a thick and heavy texture, its shape is simplistic and is difficult to make it empty. However , a master hand can pile up Huang Shan stones into a rockery like a high and steep mountain. Th Autumn Rockery in Ge Yuan Garden is solid but ventilated. Its layers paid full attention to the changes of bumps and holes in the form of the rockery and the arrangement of big and small caverns and valleys. Therefore, Autumn Rockery is their masterpiece.
