Design Details
- Unique Properties
- This is a wedding scene designed with the name of the newlyweds' daughter "Mozhu"（black bamboo）and the artistic conception of a Chinese landscape painting. The wedding is like an open scroll of immersive Chinese style. Every guest and newlyweds are placed in this scroll and become indispensable part and witness of this landscape painting. Bamboo is the main material of this wedding design. It is a very meaningful element in oriental culture. It symbolizes high quality, evergreen in all seasons.
- Inspiration
- Inspiration comes from China's top ten famous paintings "A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains". This painting is the last pen of Wang Ximeng, a talented young man. It describes the vast and undulating mountains and rivers in the south of China. The Bamboo Mountain River Moon Picture is inspired by ancient Chinese style and traditional Chinese painting. Starting from "bamboo", it depicts a poem: inkstone green bamboo, moon shines on mountains and rivers. Use this small poem to draw out the wedding.
