Cranes by the Stream / Themed Customized Landscape Ecological Basin

Basin Name: "Cranes by the Stream" Source | Tang Dynasty, Du Mu, "Mountain Dwelling on an Autumn Evening" Original Line | "The stream's cold light congeals, unmoving; a pair of cranes dance in the evening mist of late autumn." Poet's Profile | Du Mu, courtesy name Muzhi, was a renowned poet and prose writer of the Tang Dynasty, famed alongside Li Shangyin as "Xiao Li Du." He excelled in seven-character quatrains, known for his elegant and fresh style, imbued with historical depth and humanistic sentiment. This poem, written during his later years in mountain seclusion, conveys a tranquil emotion and paints a vivid picture, reflecting his profound understanding of nature and life after his retirement. Vernacular Interpretation: The stream's light is cold and clear, as if frozen; two white cranes dance gracefully in the evening mist, adding a touch of vitality to the desolate autumn scene. Design Interpretation: Within this miniature valley basin, clear stream water quietly flows through the gaps in the rocks, while two celestial cranes stand by the bank, poised to leap, ready to dance. Stacked stones form a picturesque landscape, with moss and small ferns spreading along the terrain, outlining a poetic mountain dwelling scene in the thin mist of late autumn. This is not merely a natural landscape basin, but rather a realm of detached artistry, allowing one to rediscover inner peace amidst chaos. Ideal for placement in a study, tea room, or by a window. Each glance offers a dialogue with nature, immersing you in the still stream and the dancing cranes.

Legends of "celestial cranes riding clouds" date back to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas." Throughout history, literati often likened themselves to cranes, as seen in Su Shi's poem "Old Crane Crossing the River," expressing a recluse's aspiration to remain aloof from worldly pursuits. The image of "a pair of cranes dancing together" is an even greater omen, signifying harmonious family life, a couple's shared devotion, and kindred spirits. Consequently, the crane motif continues to be widely used in crafts, architecture, and birthday gifts, embodying traditional aesthetics and blessings. / Product Dimensions / 12cm Round Ball Style: Opening 8.5cm, Height 9.5cm, Max Outer Diameter 12cm 12cm Cylindrical Style: Diameter 12cm, Height 15cm (includes bamboo and wood sealed lid) 18cm Dragon Egg Style: Opening 9cm, Height 18cm, Max Outer Diameter 14cm / Product Contents / Round Ball Style: Stream stones, Sharp-leaved Wire Moss, Short Pile Moss, Curved Tail Moss, Hinoki Leaf Golden Hair Moss, Crane models x2.
