《奇石》指的是天然形成的石头，其材质、形状、颜色和花纹都与寻常石头不同，能够满足人们的好奇心和审美需求，可供观赏、收藏和玩赏。中国有四大奇石，包括《东坡肉形石》、《岁月》、《中华神鹰》和《小鸡出壳》。

《奇石》在我国历史上还被称为怪石、象形石、雅石、供石、案石、几石、玩石、巧石、丑石、趣石、珍石、异石、孤赏石等，而在中国台湾、香港和澳门被称为雅石，日本称为水石，韩国称为寿石。广义上讲，任何具有观赏价值的自然石头都可以被称为奇石。

《奇石》的最大特点是不仅需要具备天然性，还要具备自然性，也就是说，石头未经过人工雕琢、修饰或人为加工合成。奇石是一种以自然美为特征的观赏石头，其与其他观赏石的最重要区别之一就是其自然性。赏石和石头艺术的审美观是通过人们的观感产生的，是观赏者和石头之间的共同感应。奇石不仅是一种形象艺术，也是一种心境艺术。在赏石的过程中，人们不仅仅是以视觉感知形状，更是以内心感受神韵，进而实现心与自然的融合，达到"天人合一，物我两忘"的境界。人们可以从一块块冰冷的石头上联想到各种人生境遇，领略宇宙自然界的神奇多姿，丰富自我心灵，从奇石王国中探索天然艺术的奥妙和生命本质，这就是钟爱奇石的真谛。

古代赏石注重石头外部轮廓的整体变化，给人以奇特、古怪、雄风峻岭的感觉。
