Stone Scroll
For over 15 years, Tai Phu Production and Investment Joint Stock Company has established itself as a trusted and reputable brand in the field of producing and crafting stone products from natural monolithic blue stone. Among its most notable creations is the Stone Scroll, a masterpiece that combines artistry, tradition, and spiritual significance. Let’s delve into the world of Stone Scroll and discover its unique features and cultural importance.
1. What is Stone Scroll?
Stone Scroll, also known as Stone Screen, is a traditional stone structure widely used in spiritual and architectural projects such as temples, pagodas, family shrines, and stone tombs. Its primary purpose is to act as a protective barrier, shielding sacred spaces from negative energies and malevolent forces.
The design of Stone Scroll varies depending on the location and the type of project. Each piece is meticulously crafted to harmonize with the surrounding architecture, blending functionality with aesthetic appeal. Beyond its spiritual role, Stone Scroll also serves as a decorative element, enhancing the solemnity and beauty of sacred spaces.
There are several types of Stone Scroll, including:
- Stone Scroll with Falling Design
- Stone Scroll with Dragon Design
- Stone Scroll with Columns
- Stone Scroll without Columns
Among these, the Stone Scroll with Columns is particularly popular in large-scale projects such as ancestral temples, pagodas, and family shrines. It is typically placed in the center, behind the main gate, to serve as a focal point of protection and reverence.
2. The Structure of Stone Scroll
A Stone Scroll is composed of three main parts, each with its own symbolic and functional significance:
► The Base
The base is the foundation of the structure, measuring approximately 30–45 cm in width and height. It ensures the stability of the Stone Scroll. The base is often adorned with intricate carvings of Tiger Masks, Orchid Leaves, and Cloud Patterns.
► The Scroll Body
The body of the scroll is placed atop the base and is slightly thinner in width. It is designed to resemble an ancient scroll, with one end featuring a carved sword and the other end adorned with a brush. The sword symbolizes strength, courage, and unwavering will, while the brush represents wisdom, diligence, and integrity.
► The Columns
Flanking the scroll are stone columns, connected by Stone Tenons. These columns come in various styles, such as:
- Lotus Bud Columns
- Lamp Columns
- Lion-Dog Columns
These columns not only enhance the visual appeal of the structure but also reinforce its symbolic meaning.
3. Where to Install Stone Scroll?
Stone croll is an essential feature in spiritual and cultural projects. It is commonly installed in:
- Temples and pagodas
- Family shrines and ancestral worship spaces
- Stone tombs and memorial sites
- Public spaces with cultural or historical significance
When choosing a location, it is crucial to consider the architectural harmony and the spiritual purpose of the structure. Proper placement ensures that the Stone Scroll fulfills its role as both a protective barrier and a decorative masterpiece.
