The mounting form of Liulin's father

Hand roll, also known as horizontal roll, long roll, scroll, paper roll, etc. , is the earliest decorative form for mounting China ancient cultural paintings and calligraphy. Handscroll is a horizontally long calligraphy and painting work, which can't be hung up, and can be appreciated while stretching, with a small width. Handroll is small and easy to carry and collect, but it is the most complicated and difficult style among all mounting forms. The structure of the hand roll consists of a roll core, a leading part and a trailing part. A painting and calligraphy work with high collection value, such as The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, should be mounted into a hand scroll. The length of hand-rolled mounting is generally not less than 8 meters, and the length can reach more than 20 meters. Its height is generally between 30-50 cm, which is not suitable for hanging.
