Paired with Master Zhai's calligraphy, it presents a rich New Year spirit, full of joy, celebration, and auspicious wishes. ------------------------------------- **Extra-Thick Xuan Paper Style M [Window Pane Four Gentlemen]:** A复刻 (re-creation) of traditional "window pane" aesthetics, combined with the "Four Gentlemen" (plum blossom, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum) motif on red Xuan paper. This serves as an elegant and fitting partner for the calligraphic ink art. **Note:** This paper style comes in 2 variations (as shown in photos). Golden ink calligraphy will use the lighter-patterned Wa Dang paper. Black ink calligraphy will use the darker, more lustrous Wa Dang pattern. These are matched to the calligraphy style. Individual pieces are randomly selected, while the set of 4 includes one of each, ensuring the optimal pairing of ink color and Wa Dang design. ------------------------------------- **Extra-Thick Xuan Paper Style F [Butterfly Deer Crane Joy]:** The "butterfly" motif, a symbol of good fortune, shares a phonetic resemblance with the character for "blessing" (福 - fú). Geometric Wa Dang designs are blended with traditional New Year imagery, integrating traditional craftsmanship with a fresh, humanistic aesthetic to imbue blessings with heartfelt meaning and novelty. ------------------------------------- **Extra-Thick Xuan Paper Style S [Peace Across the Seas]:** Eastern motifs like the heavens, clouds, seas, and myriad creatures are used to convey the concept of favorable weather and peace across the land. This offers the best wishes for smooth sailing day by day, year after year, and a peaceful world where all endeavors are successful. ------------------------------------- **● Wa Dang Screen Printing, Exclusive Paper:** Hand-screen printed with exclusive Wa Dang designs. Special red, crimson, and gold inks are used for screen printing, with a subtle, elegant shimmer. The ink colors display fine screen-print mesh textures, adding a delicate and warm handcrafted feel. **● Deeply Saturated Ink, Handwritten Pieces:** High-quality, deeply saturated black and gold inks are available. The ink colors are rich and full, with strokes that appear three-dimensional, robust, and powerful, resisting fading.
