"Long scroll" not only embodies the characteristics of Chinese painting, but also is a unique form of Chinese painting. The long scroll picture frame is spread horizontally. Although the height of the picture frame cannot be very large, the width can be fully extended and the picture capacity is large, which is incomparable to other painting forms. Long scrolls have their special difficulties, and the difficulty lies in "length". Without the painter's "mental image" thinking and high artistic generalization ability, it is impossible to have a map of thousands of miles across the country, and it is impossible to draw a map of Wan Li in the Yangtze River with an objective way of thinking and a scientific perspective. The scene change, structural cohesion and pen and ink change in long scrolls are more complicated and difficult to control than other art forms. The characteristics of Chinese painting are also vividly reflected in the long scrolls, as the saying goes, "Cage heaven and earth in shape, borrow everything from pen".
