As a refined category of ancient scholar's objects, its artistic value is reflected in:

 

A pioneering technique of revealing textures through translucency, expanding the dimensions of paper decoration.

 

An elegant color scheme comprising five hues: light gray, light orange, pale blue, light antique finish, and light purplish-gray.

 

Interacting with the ink of calligraphy, such as the water ripples in the *Tongnian Tie* (Letter to My Fellow Scholars) enhancing the rhythm of the composition.

 

A complex production process of seventy-two steps reflects the ancient artisans' ultimate pursuit of material aesthetics.
