China: Scroll, man and 2 women in clouds, Zhang Lu (1464-1538), Ming Dynasty, Shanghai Museum, Shanghai.

A hanging scroll (Chinese: ??; pinyin: lìzhóu; also called ? or ??) is one of the many traditional ways to display and exhibit Chinese painting and calligraphy. Displaying the art in such a way was befitting for public appreciation and appraisal of the aesthetics of the scroll in its entirety by the audience. The traditional craft involved in creating such a work is considered an art in itself. Mountings can be divided into a few sections, such as handscrolls, hanging scrolls, album leaves, and screens amongst others.
