[Jiyou Guanyin Hall|Ciguang Pochu Dunhuang Zen]
This scroll embodies the essence of Moyuanzhai's "iron thread gossamer" brushwork. The imposing imagery resembles the walls of the Yongle Palace, radiating light through the paper. The floating celestial garments inherit Wu Daozi's orchid leaf style, while infusing a uniquely compassionate aura. The Xuan paper undergoes a secret process of nine grains and eight dyes, and the gold-painted outlines and coloring evoke the "Thirty-two Aspects" of the Buddhist sutras in the "Buddhist Painting Rituals." The meticulous imitation technique achieves the exacting "Grand Powder Model Level," with every brushstroke honed through forty years of study and refinement from Dunhuang powder models. Compared to conventional Buddhist image reproductions, this scroll embodies the exquisite brushwork of "The Heavenly Palace." More than a mere recreation of religious iconography, it embodies a venerable paper-quality masterpiece that blends the strength of the Yongle Palace with the subtlety of the Song Dynasty's court style. This contemporary work embodies the Zen-like aesthetic of "Water Moon Guanyin."
