{"product_id":"qian-long-chinese-painting-print-lingzhi-persimmon","title":"Qian Long Chinese Painting Print – Lingzhi Persimmon","description":"\u003cp\u003eLingzhi and persimmon — two heavyweights of the auspicious still life — share a vase in this print after the Qianlong Emperor's court taste. The Qianlong court loved its auspicious still lifes — the palace workshops produced them by the dozen, each one a bouquet of good wishes — and this arrangement is the genre at its richest: the blessings piled high, the symbolism doing the talking. The lingzhi's tiered caps bring their fungus-of-immortality gravitas; the persimmons bring round, orange cheer; plum blossom and chrysanthemum fill the gaps. Ink wash keeps it scholarly; the subject keeps it festive, the court's good wishes in a vase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe combination is deliberate: longevity (lingzhi), good fortune (persimmon — shi, punning on \"matters going well\"), endurance (plum), autumn integrity (chrysanthemum) — a whole well-wishing vocabulary in one vase, the still life as a greeting card. The brushwork balances careful modeling of the fruit — the persimmons' round glow — with looser handling of the branches, the ink's freedom. It is a still life that means everything it shows, and shows it beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuspicious still lifes suit entryways, dining rooms, anywhere good wishes are welcome — the traditional housewarming or New Year gift. It arrives as the unmounted huaxin core only, with no frame or mounting, so framing is your decision. A meaningful gift, heavy with traditional blessings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chinese Style Finds™","offers":[{"title":"on paper 宣纸画心（适于装裱）","offer_id":50791703544064,"sku":"ega1793058512054","price":23.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"on silk 绢本画心（适于临摹，粘贴）","offer_id":50791703576832,"sku":"xpw1793058512055","price":29.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/9483\/8272\/files\/qian-long-chinese-painting-print-lingzhi-persimmon_1.jpg?v=1793058540","url":"https:\/\/ribbedcladb.shop\/products\/qian-long-chinese-painting-print-lingzhi-persimmon","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
