[Bronze Ke and Jade Tu Zhongtang｜Seal and Zhuan characters pouring souls into the tripod and Yi spirits] This scroll embodies the true essence of Gu Weng's "incorporating metal and stone into painting." Its majestic branches resemble stone drums, while the inscriptions on the zhuanweng (Chinese characters) are cast in iron. Its vibrant red flowers blend the rhythm of seals and mud seals, creating a new and ancient style. The Xuan paper, crafted through seven seal carvings and eight castings, features a layered, dark ochre etched pattern that echoes the principle of "the knife and brush working together" in the "Xiao Gu Lu Seal Collection." The replica is crafted to the exacting standards of "ancient seals and mud seals," with each stroke honed through four centuries of seal carving. Compared to conventional flower reproductions, this scroll reveals a deeper connection to the Xiling seal tradition. It is more than just a recreation of the elegant and graceful style of a traditional Chinese scroll; it truly fuses the sturdy bronze skins of the Three Dynasties with the freehand spirit of the Ming Dynasty. It represents a contemporary continuation of the tradition of "Peach Fruits." Material: Rice paper Mounting size: 178×69 cm Painting core size: 97×46 cm
