Emperor Huizong of the Song dynasty owned a black Lake Tai stone shaped like a dragon's horn, which he had illustrated in a drawing.[1] Taihu (Lake Tai) rocks are produced in the waters off Dongting Mountain in Suzhou and the best ones are found at the bottom of Xiaoxia Bay off the mountains west of Lake Tai. The extraction of Taihu rocks began in the Tang dynasty, and continued throughout subsequent dynasties. During the Song dynasty, Emperor Huizong collected scholar's rocks from across the empire to construct the Genyue Garden, and Taihu rocks were excavated on a large scale. According to Song dynasty scholar Fan Chengda (1126–1193)’s Taihu shi zhi [Taihu Rock Record), “Rocks from Western Dongting are often hollowed out by the force of waves and polished smooth by the water. Some are firm and lustrous like jade, sharp like swords and spears, towering like peaks, or aligned like screens. Some are sleek like fat, dark as lacquer, or shaped like humans or birds. Connoisseurs acquire them to adorn their gardens and courtyards. Rocks that have been submerged in water for a long time are eroded by the waves. Their scaly surface is the trace of water marks. When struck, they produce a clear sound like a chime.”[2]This passage crystallises the characteristics of Taihu rocks.
