The main components of wukangshi are silicate and iron oxide, which have undergone physical and chemical changes under the influence of high temperature and high pressure, forming a unique yellow appearance.

Physical characteristics: The surface of Huangshi usually presents a unique yellow or yellowish brown color, with fine texture and many tiny pores. These pores make Huangshi swell easily after absorbing water, forming a sponge-like structure.

Origin: The origin of Huangshi is the hilly area in the eastern suburb of Wu Kang Town (formerly Wu Kang County), Deqing County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province.

Uses: Huangshi is widely used for landscaping and architectural decoration because of its unique color and texture.

Second, the detailed introduction of Taihu Stone.

Taihu stone, also known as cave stone and rockery, is gradually formed after long-term erosion of limestone. It can be divided into water stone and dry stone. Water stone is slowly formed by water waves and long-term erosion in rivers and lakes, while dry stone is formed by limestone in geological period under long-term erosion of acidic red soil.

Especially the yellow ones are rare, especially suitable for decorating parks, lawns, campuses and courtyards. It has high ornamental value. Taihu stone is one of the typical traditional stone products, which wins by its shape. Exquisite carving, mountainous, suitable for garden stone.

Carbonate rocks are widely distributed in China. Under appropriate structural, rock and hydrogeological conditions, Taihu rocks similar to those in Jiangsu can be found and developed. In addition to Guangdong and Guangxi, Fangshan in Beijing, Jingshan in Qinling and Wujing Town in Linqu County, there are also many "Taihu Stone" on the market that are not from the vicinity of Taihu Lake.

The reason for overlapping mountains

Secondly, the pursuit of natural beauty is also one of the reasons for overlapping mountains. Since ancient times, natural landscapes such as mountains and rivers have always been regarded as a symbol of beauty and a source of inspiration. Through overlapping mountains, people reproduce the shape and beauty of natural mountains in artificial environments such as courtyards and gardens, thus realizing the harmony between man and nature and aesthetic enjoyment.
