What are the characteristics of Chinese painting in the form of long scrolls?

The "Long Scroll" not only embodies the characteristics of Chinese painting, but also is a unique form of Chinese painting. Although the height of the scroll cannot be very large, the width can be fully extended, and the capacity of the picture is difficult to match with other forms of painting. The long scroll has its special difficulty, and the difficulty lies in its "length".

Without the painter's "mental image" thinking and high artistic generalization ability, it would be impossible to have "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", and it would be impossible to produce "A Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River" by painting with the way of thinking and scientific perspective of the object truthfully. The transformation of scenes, the connection of structure, the change of brush and ink in the long scroll, etc., are more complex than other art forms, and they are more difficult to control.
