2026-11-11
[Xingyan Stone Carving News] Recently, a large Qilin relief wall panel has been completed in Xingyan Stone Carving's workshop in Hui'an, Fujian, and is now in the final pre-delivery stage. Seen from the aerial view, the long panel lies across the workshop floor: two Qilin face each other around a flaming pearl, surrounded by layered, rolling auspicious clouds. With clearly carved scales and claws and vigorous, fluent lines, the piece embodies the solid presence and refined craftsmanship of traditional Hui'an stone carving.
Symbolism: Qilin Bringing Blessings, Clouds Gathering Fortune. The Qilin is a traditional Chinese auspicious beast symbolizing peace, prosperity and the rise of talent. Following the classic "Twin Qilin Playing with a Pearl" composition, one beast turns its head gracefully while the other gallops forward proudly; the flaming pearl at the center ties the two sides together, and scrolling clouds fill the entire background. The full, balanced composition is widely used in ancestral halls, temples, residential entrance screens and garden walls, conveying wishes for wealth, protection and lasting prosperity for generations.
Craft & Material: High-Relief Carving on Solid Granite. Made of hard, weather-resistant grey granite, the panel combines high relief with incised line carving, giving the Qilin's scales, mane and cloud curls a strong three-dimensional depth. It is finished through rough shaping, fine carving and surface polishing. The long panel is built from joined slabs and can be customized in length, width, thickness and relief depth to fit ancestral hall screens, temple walls, villa courtyards, park feature walls and corporate gateways.
