【Xuanji Sulian Zhongtang|Line spirit integrates the essence of Gu and Wu’s writing】
This scroll inherits Long Mian's exquisite "cloud and water silk thread" technique. Its flowing silk sash evokes the translucent, ethereal calligraphy of the silk scroll "The Beautiful Lady." Its expressive features, inspired by Gu Kaizhi's "Ancient Gossamer Silk," create a new realm of Northern Song Dynasty art. The imperial silk undergoes a secret process of twelve strands and nine polishings, creating a pine mist-like frost that evokes the principle of "sweeping away the dark black to create emptiness" in the "Xuanhe Painting Album." The meticulous reproduction technique achieves the exacting precision of a "white-line drawing master," with each line meticulously tempered by two centuries of penmanship. Compared to more common reproductions of ladies, this scroll reveals a distinct lineage rooted in the drapery of the High Tang Dynasty. More than a mere reproduction of elegant demeanor, it is a museum-quality silk masterpiece that blends the rhythmic lines of the Six Dynasties with the literati spirit of Bianjing. It offers a contemporary glimpse into the true essence of the literati movement that informed "Lotus Society Picture."
