Extended data:

The scale of the traditional Chinese painting "Okra Map" by Li Dazhong Tuan Fan in Song Dynasty should be based not only on the content and composition of the picture, but also on the way of presentation. The main presentation mode of Chinese painting is vertical axis, and the larger vertical axis is called nave. Nave's paintings are mostly used to hang in suitable places in the hall. The narrower part of the vertical axis is a banner.

Because the composition of banners can vary from side to side, the composition is proper, the artistic effect is novel and unique, elegant and refined, and it is suitable for hanging in the study. Banners can be hung side by side because of certain connections in content, which is called 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 is unfolded into a square with four feet of rice paper, which is also called a bucket edge. It is a framework form widely used in modern times. The box can completely use the traditional elements of Chinese painting, and the application of modern elements is also easy to absorb, which is suitable for a wider range of environmental styles.

Long scroll is a traditional format. Long scrolls or hand scrolls need continuity in expressing content and need to be composed of multiple composition centers under the same theme. When the long scroll is slowly unfolded, each unfolded part should have a composition center.
