Besides the content and composition of the painting, the scale of the traditional Chinese painting "Okra Map" by Li Dazhong Tuan Fan in Song Dynasty should also consider the presentation mode. The main presentation mode of traditional Chinese painting is vertical axis, and the one with a larger vertical axis is called nave. Nave's paintings are mostly used to hang in the right place in the hall. The narrower part of the vertical axis is the banner.
Because the composition of the banner can vary from side to side, it has a proper composition, novel and unique artistic effect, and is suitable for hanging in the elegant study. Banners can be hung side by side because of certain connections in content, which is called a strip screen. The number of screens should be even, with a minimum of four and a maximum of twelve or more.
Qi Baishi's Twelve Screens of Mountains and Waters, with four feet of rice paper facing each other, becomes a square, also known as a bucket. It is a frame form that has been widely used in modern times. The square frame can completely use the traditional elements of Chinese painting, and the application of modern elements is easy to absorb, and the applicable environmental style is broader.
The long scroll is a traditional format. The content of the long scroll or hand scroll needs to be continuous, and it needs to be under the same theme, and it is composed of multiple composition centers. When the long scroll is slowly unfolded, there should be a composition center for each unfolded section.
