Dali, you really know how to enjoy the beauty! Dali Stone Inscription Museum (IV)

Address: Dali Ancient Town, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province A piece of marble named 'Phoenix Seeking Phoenix' is the treasure of this museum, as shown in picture two. The naturally formed image looks exactly like a phoenix and a phoenix soaring in the sky, as if the phoenix is seeking its mate, vividly presenting the poetic realm of 'Phoenix, oh phoenix, come to nest with me, to be my mate forever with a tail entrusted' from the poem. The 'Phoenix Seeking Phoenix' marble is naturally formed, lifelike, symbolizing 'Phoenixes flying together', which implies the beautiful wishes of 'auspicious harmony and universal peace'. Diameter 35cm. This piece of marble perfectly matches the poetic sentiment of Wang Wei's 'Farewell' with the lines 'You say you are disheartened, to rest in the southern mountains. Just go and ask no more, the white clouds are endless in time', naturally presenting a lofty composition, with majestic mountains and an imposing atmosphere. Coupled with the tumbling clouds, it further highlights a grand and magnificent scene.
