"Schafer discusses the Chinese taste in stones, Tu Wan [(Du Wan) was a 12th century stone collector and descendant of the Tang poet Tu Fu (Du Fu)] and the history and nature of his catalogue, and the technology and petrology of the 12th century. His synopsis of the Chinese text describes 144 types of stones with translated abstracts of each, material of great interest to modern collectors of 'scholar's rocks'" -- from the back cover.
