The artwork is painted with Mogu (boneless painting) techniques, a unique painting technique in Chinese brush painting. This painting style can be traced back to 557 AD in Liang Dynasty and then mastered by the artists in Tang Dynasty in 723 AD. In the Late Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty, the Mogu painting pieces were highly valued and collected by the royal families in China.

Ancient Chinese artists and scholars believe that ‘artworks done on Xuan paper can be kept for a thousand years.’ The paper of this artwork is sourced from its place of origin, Jing County of Xuan Prefecture in Anhui Province, China, and is hand-made with the local rice plant and blue sandalwood. The traditional handicrafts of Xuan paper-making have been listed as one of the UNESCO intangible heritage.
