Affinity for Chrysanthemums by the Deep – Shoushan Stone Sculpture by Shilu

Product Number:  CBM25070702

Material: Shoushan Stone

Size: Length 7.4 x Width 3.3 x Height 6cm

Inscription: “Yuanming Loves Chrysanthemums – Winter of the Guiyou Year, by Shilu”

This piece is the work of renowned contemporary carving artist Shilu, finely sculpted from delicately textured and lustrous Shoushan stone. The artist skillfully employs the natural coloration of the material, executing the form with fluid grace and meticulous precision. The craftsmanship is both technically masterful and rich in spirit, endowing the work with vivid presence and refined elegance.

The subject depicts the revered poet Tao Yuanming in a state of tranquil repose, leaning gently as chrysanthemums bloom beside him—a visual echo of his noble character and his retreat from worldly affairs to a life of rural simplicity. The natural stratification of red and yellow tones in the stone lends striking contrast between the figure and the flora, enhancing both the depth of the scene and the poetic ambiance it evokes.

The chrysanthemum, one of the Four Gentlemen of traditional Chinese flora, symbolizes purity, longevity, and serene detachment. This work embodies not only the spirit of reclusive literati but also an ideal of harmony, virtue, and inner freedom. Graceful as a desk ornament and rich in cultural symbolism, it holds lasting value as both a collectible and a legacy piece.
