The jian, a water basin from the Eastern Zhou dynasty (770-256 B. C. ), is a captivating artifact that offers us a glimpse into ancient China. This basin, dating back to the first half of the 5th century B. C. , showcases intricate narrative scenes that depict historical views of China during that time. Intriguingly, this Middle Eastern Zhou dynasty basin features catchfly species known as Lychnis senno. The point-line-surface technique used in its design creates a visually stunning and detailed portrayal of these flowers. Fast forward to the late 17th century, we find "Lofty Scholar among Streams and Mountains, " an artwork created by Wang Jian in the style of Juran.

These landscapes transport us back to ancient China, allowing us to appreciate its beauty through Wang Jian's artistic lens. The jian water basin and Wang Jian's artworks serve as windows into different periods of Chinese history - one from over two millennia ago and another from centuries later.
