This heavily weathered Juilong Bi or Nine Dragon River stone suggests an old person, perhaps even a sage, with its wrinkles, folds, and shape. The cataracts in this river have produced many extraordinary hard, multi-colored wrinkled stones. The presence of silica and other silicate minerals contribute to the hardness and weight of this stone. Because of their attractive features, Jiulong Bi stones were described in the early travel literature and in Ming and Qing dynasty poems.

The hardwood base was designed by Chen Shihong and crafted in his shop, Mushichuanzun, in Shanghai. He calls this a Cloud Ming style base (云彩明式座). Chen is a leader in the design and creation of contemporary bases for Chinese stones. The flowing lines of this base are typical of a more modern approach to base making. The stone is 10 cm wide, 21 cm high, and 8 cm deep. This stone is in the collection of Thomas Elias and Hiromi Nakaoji.
