[Eleven Frames of Beijing's Charm | Brush and Ink Blend the Lifelike Beauty of Gold and Stone] This album leaf inherits the essence of Ban Ding's "classical, elegant, and refined" style. Its vibrant and dynamic spirit evokes the vibrant colors of the Xuan paper in his "Flowers and Insects." Its vibrant colors draw inspiration from Yun Nantian's boneless technique, creating a new realm for Beijing-style flower and bird paintings. The specially crafted Xuan paper undergoes a secret process of eight grindings and nine dyeings, and the mineral pigments blended with glue embody the principle of "reinventing ancient methods" as outlined in Ban Ding's "Painting Theory." The meticulous reproduction technique achieves a level of "lively study," with each frame undergoing 35 years of meticulous painting. Compared to more common flower and bird paintings, these paintings demonstrate a unique connection between the Shanghai and Beijing schools. They capture not only form and spirit, but also represent a masterpiece of desk work that blends the refined tastes of literati with the vibrant energy of nature. They offer a glimpse into the true essence of Beijing culture, embodying the spirit of "New Year's Day Offerings." Material: Rice paper Single page size: 60x42 cm
