A Chinese landscape painting is incomplete without its mounting. At SinoInArt, the mounting of Liu Songnian’s The Hardships of the Sichuan Road is treated as an art form in itself. We employ master mounters who follow the "Biao Hua" standards that have been passed down for centuries.

The process begins with "backing" the custom Xuan paper with multiple layers of thin paper to provide strength and flexibility. This is done by hand using natural, acid-free adhesives. This ensures that the 1:1 replica can be rolled and unrolled without the risk of cracking or wrinkling.

We use only the finest silk for the borders. For this masterpiece, we select silk tones that complement the rocky palette—muted earth tones and soft creams. This creates a harmonious transition from the art to the wall, turning the scroll into a complete decorative object.

Traditional mounting also features the use of solid wood for the hanging rod and the bottom roller. This adds the necessary weight to the scroll, ensuring it hangs straight and majestically. The tactile luxury of the silk and wood is a hallmark of the SinoInArt brand.

By choosing a traditionally mounted replica from SinoInArt, you are supporting a heritage craft. You are receiving a piece of art that is as much about the craftsmanship of the scroll as it is about the genius of Liu Songnian’s brushwork.
