[Clear water and mountains in the center of the hall | The sound of the lake and the soul of the palace] This bearing, a hidden door, embodies the essence of the "axe-splitting, molten blue" technique. The winding path, like the winding pine winds of the Li Tang Dynasty, evokes the silk scrolls of the myriad valleys. The floating light of the misty islands blends with the beige of the Chunxi official kilns, creating a unique and profound style. The mineral color, crafted through the secret process of seven cinnabar and nine gravels, creates a chime-stone with a dark mist that alludes to the Taoist principle of "Ink Hidden in the Dragon's Deep" as described in the "Records of the Imperial Pavilions of the Restoration." The meticulous craftsmanship achieved the exacting standards of "Diao Guan Supervisory Level," with each texture refined over thirty years of refinement from the powder model of the De Shou Palace. Compared to the more common Southern Song landscapes, this painting particularly demonstrates the brushwork of Emperor Xiaozong's imperial inscriptions. This is more than a mere imitation of the azure scenery of lakes and mountains, but rather a truly valuable silk scroll that blends the lingering charm of Northern Song travelogues with the inlaid blue pigment of Goryeo. This world-renowned collection embodies the true essence of the "Four Scenes of the Mountain" in its golden ground. Material: Silk cloth Mounting size: 187×69 cm Painting core size: 84.5×44 cm
