Picture mounting
Chinese painting are also mounted to add brilliance to them. A painting is not considered to have been completed until it is mounted, a requirement unique to Chinese paintings.
A blending of components
A Chinese painting is a marriage of poetry, calligraphy, seal and image. National artists often indicate the theme of the painting, the artist's name and the date of the painting. Sometimes, a poem or a prose extract is written next to the painting. These verses and lines complement and enrich the meaning behind the painting. Seals are also affixed to embellish or balance the painting.
