To replicate a 900-year-old masterpiece, one cannot use standard art paper. At SinoInArt, we use proprietary custom Xuan paper specifically developed to match the absorbency and fiber density required for Song Dynasty ink and color washes.

This specialized paper is the foundation of our quality. It allows the mineral pigments used in Hibiscus and Golden Pheasant to settle with the same depth and luminosity as the original silk. It avoids the artificial sheen of canvas or plastic-based papers, providing an organic, antique feel.

The texture of our custom Xuan paper is also essential for capturing the "Gongbi" technique. Every microscopic line of the pheasant’s feathers is held in place by the paper’s fibers, preventing the ink from "bleeding" and maintaining the sharpness of the imperial brushwork.

Paired with traditional hand-mounting, our replicas possess a tactile quality that digital prints simply cannot match. When you touch the surface, you feel the heritage of Chinese papermaking, providing a sensory connection to the past.

SinoInArt is dedicated to the science of beauty. Our use of custom Xuan paper ensures that your 1:1 replica of Huizong’s work is not just a copy, but a faithful reconstruction of the artist’s intent.
