Taishan Stone is produced in the streams and valleys around the Taishan Mountain. It is hard, steady, dignified and thick, and mostly appears in the permeable and semi permeable texture. It is famous at home and abroad for its beautiful and changeable texture and age-old weathered shape. In addition, there are folk legends about Taishan Stone's ability to avoid evil spirits, and to suppress houses, Taishan stone has become a hot geomantic stone in recent years. The "character stone", "number stone", "figure stone", "astronomical geography", "landscape", "flowers, birds, fish and insects", "twelve zodiac signs", etc. in the Taishan stone are convex or concave, dynamic or static, dragons and snakes flying, changing and all embracing, directly restoring the natural landscape.
The rocks of Taishan stone are plagioclase gneiss, biotite hornblende plagioclase gneiss, gneiss Granite Granite gneiss and fine-grained hornblende. Its pattern is late light colored mineral oblique feldspar , potassium feldspar quartz It is crystallized by filling in the irregular primary fractures. Some of them are light colored mineral juices such as plagioclase and quartz that have been remelted due to geological reasons. They rise and fill in the fractures of shallow rocks, forming a variety of network, branch, strip, block and other veins. In the process of crustal change, these metamorphic rocks gradually exposed to the surface, formed isolated blocks after long natural weathering, collapsed, rolled into valleys and rivers, and were scoured and sand Sharpen to become a strange stone. The prominent stone ribs are preferred in the Taishan stone pattern. The white lines that make up the picture can be divided into stone tendons and stone skins. Due to the different hardness of the stone bar and the stone body, after thousands of years of weathering and grinding, the stone bar gradually protrudes from the stone surface, with a sense of relief.
Taishan Stone is located in Dongxi, Xixi and Donglu of the mountain area around the main peak of Taishan Mountain in Tai'an City Pagoda Xiagang Canyon, Xiagang Canyon and the streams and valleys around the mountains are all distributed, especially in the Taohuayu Canyon in the west of the main peak. The black and white pebbles produced in Licheng and Changqing of Jinan also fall into the category of Taishan stone. Taishan stone in Tai'an is thicker and more steep because it is mixed with some rocks, not just pebbles. The composition is mainly colorful patterns and landscape trees; The pebbles in Jinan are mainly water washed stones with relatively fine texture, and the pictures are dominated by people and animals. Most of the best Taishan stones come from water washed stones.
Taishan stone is hard, fine and dense in structure, and some crystal particles are coarse; The shape is natural block, simple and thick, sub angular, muddy round, irregular oval, mainly showing patterns; The tone is calm, dignified and thick, mostly appearing in permeable and semi permeable texture pictures. On the stone surface of gray white, gray black, gray green, shallow river, dark blue, yellow, brown, black and other colors, there are various white textures, convex or concave, forming the patterns of mountain waterfalls, ancient wood dead branches, birds and animals, elegant people, etc., which are smooth and bright, balanced, clear and lifelike, and each has its own unique beauty. Most of the colors are black and white, some of which are elegant and elegant, and some of which are cleverly embedded with red or color patterns
