The leisurely pursuits of scholars—qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, and flowers—contrast with the daily necessities of ordinary life. The slower the pace, the more delicate the feelings, leading to true contentment. In Paper Blooming, YANG Chung-Ming uses contemporary techniques to recreate classical scenes, blending reality and illusion through watermark paper-making and arch flower techniques. The double-transparent screen reflects the dance of time and space, capturing the refined elegance of a scholar's life, which remains unchanged despite the passage of time.
