Year of the Horse Couplets - Luxury Edition / Gold-Sprinkled Wannian Red Couplets / Prosperity Through the Years, Abundant Blessings / Yi Bingshou of the Qing Dynasty

Year of the Horse Couplets - Luxury Edition / Gold-Sprinkled Wannian Red Couplets "Prosperity Through the Years, Abundant Blessings." Calligraphy by: Yi Bingshou (1754-1815), a prominent figure of the Qing Dynasty, often paired with Deng Shiru as "Southern Yi, Northern Deng." Yi Bingshou's clerical script embodies the robust and steady strokes of Han Dynasty steles, yet possesses a unique, natural charm—in modern vernacular, it's utterly delightful. His distinctive style is highly recognizable, marking him as an unmissable master of the mid-Qing period. Quantity: Set of 2 Dimensions: 22 x 36 cm per piece Paper: 60g Gold-Sprinkled Handmade Wannian Red Paper (Taiwanese) + 240g Eco-friendly Red Cardstock (Taiwanese) Printing: Letterpress Hot Foil Stamping Finishes: Matte Gold and Glossy Black (Taiwanese foil) Features: The texture of the handmade Wannian Red paper is warm and organic, with subtle variations in the pulp flow creating a rich, intricate surface. This paper boasts a bright, vibrant red with a hint of vermilion, uplifting the spirit at first glance. Hand-scooped by master artisans at a traditional paper mill in Puli, Taiwan, each sheet is then screen-printed, resulting in a stunning display of scattered gold. Beautifully auspicious couplets selected by us, with semi-handmade hot stamping by Taiwanese artisans (even the gold foil is made in Taiwan). Affixing these couplets to your door transforms your entrance into a daily visual delight—a piece of calligraphy art to admire with every entry and exit. It's a testament to exquisite Taiwanese craftsmanship worth cherishing, and an excellent choice for gifting. What is Wannian Red: Wannian Red paper undergoes a special surface treatment to resist fading, hence its name. It can be either handmade or machine-produced. While its fade-resistant quality is highly valued, the primary drawback of Wannian Red is its thinness, making it prone to tearing. Improvements in the "Luxury Edition Couplets": At Meihouyiri Studio, we've combined thin-gauge Wannian Red paper with 240g eco-friendly red cardstock, significantly enhancing the durability and resilience of the couplet paper! You'll be amazed by how firm this Wannian Red Xuan paper is—a first for many! Adhesion: 1. We recommend using double-sided fabric tape, which leaves no residue and ensures a smooth surface. 2. For those experienced, rice paste can be used; simply wash the wall with water the following year for replacement. 3. Absolutely avoid double-sided tape or foam tape, as removing the adhesive residue from walls the next year can be extremely difficult and regrettable. 4. Height: The top of the first character should be positioned slightly above eye level. 5. For a single door, keep the two couplets relatively close (1-2 cm apart). 6. Many have asked about attaching them to ornate iron gates or barred gates. We suggest purchasing magnetic wooden scroll hangers (similar to hanging artwork, with wooden strips at the top and bottom). - About Shipping After payment, it takes 1-2 business days to prepare and ship your order, excluding holidays.
