This important book documents the wide range of stones that were collected and displayed in this early exhibition in Liuzhou, a city that was perhaps the leading center in China for the development of modern stone appreciation and the location of the largest stone market in China in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Six selected papers were included in the latter part of the book. These provide readers with important guidelines and criteria for appreciating viewing stones. An unusual feature of this publication is that the entire book is in Chinese and English.
