What do daffodils and stones mean?

Painting stones and splashing water means that it is as stable as Mount Tai and there are endless financial resources.

The hardness and straightness of the stone, that is, the continuous development like Long Mai, means that there is a strong background and an unshakable backer, and the cause or career is in full swing, and there will always be a backer when encountering difficulties.

Water is a symbol of wealth, with a long history, inexhaustible, running water like a waterfall, which is a good sign of endless spring. These are all very particular in the older generation.

The two major schools of Zen Buddhism refer to "the south can manifest itself in the north", that is, there is wisdom in the south and Shen Xiu in the north. Shen Xiu and Huineng are both disciples of Hongren, the fifth ancestor of Zen Buddhism. The difference between the northern and southern schools of Zen mainly lies in the method of practice. The northern faction advocates "step by step", just like Shen Xiu said, "always wipe hard and don't do dust", while the southern faction is the opposite. Hui Neng thought "nothing".

Advocate "epiphany". "The Origin of Zen Buddhism: North-South Divide" says: Northern Sect is gradual cultivation, while Southern Sect is epiphany; The North School emphasizes practice, while the South School emphasizes knowledge. The northern patriarch is determined by wisdom, and the southern patriarch is determined by wisdom. This is the biggest difference between the two situations.
