A Chinese painting is not complete until it is mounted. For Zhu Derun’s "Playing the Qin Under Trees," the mounting is the frame that gives the landscape its context and dignity. SinoInArt takes this final step very seriously, employing traditional mounting techniques that have remained unchanged for centuries.

Traditional mounting is a labor-intensive process that involves backing the custom Xuan paper with additional layers of paper and silk. This process requires a steady hand and an understanding of how different materials expand and contract with humidity.

At SinoInArt, artisans ensure that every 1:1 replica is balanced and flat. The silk used for the borders is carefully selected to complement the ink tones of Zhu Derun’s landscape, enhancing the overall aesthetic without distracting from the artwork itself.

The result is a hanging scroll that is both a piece of art and a piece of engineering. It can be rolled up for storage and unrolled for display without losing its shape, a testament to the flexibility and strength of the materials used.

By investing in a SinoInArt reproduction, you are supporting the continuation of these ancient crafts. The Playing the Qin Under Trees scroll is not just a visual copy; it is a physical tribute to the entire tradition of Chinese art making.
