This rock is a fine representation of the ‘tou’ quality, openness or holes, one of the few fundamental qualities prized in a scholar’s rock. This is further explained by Richard Rosenblum in his essay in Robert D. Mowry’s Worlds Within Worlds: The Richard Rosenblum Collection of Scholars’ Rocks, Harvard University Art Museums, 1996, pp. 117-18, where he writes in reference to Taihu rocks, “the holes within holes of these rocks give the experience of infinity” and “varying in size and orientation, these holes create the sensation of an ever-changing and infinite world within a finite object.”

Taihu
or porous stone is a kind of limestone produced at the foot of Dongting Mountain in Suzhou, which is close to Lake Tai. Due to long-term surging by water, this kind of rock features many pores and holes of various depths and sizes.
