About This Design

Cranes in Chinese River  Planner

Cranes in Chinese River Planner

Cranes in Chinese River is a brush painting in the traditional Chinese "gongbi" style. Watercolor and ink on rice paper. Since ancient times in China, the crane has been regarded as an auspicious bird, next only to the legendary phoenix among all the birds with a divine poise. It was also a symbol of longevity and incorruptibility. Because a crane was considered the top-ranking bird, it was used as Imperial China's highest demarcation of court status, and its appearance on the rank badge of an official's robe signed that the wearer was a civil servant of the first, or highest, rank. The crane is usually depicted standing alone on a rock that is surrounded by the rising tide, which represents attaining the highest civil rank. As the Chinese word “chao” means both tide and government, dynasty, or having an audience with an emperor. Thus, a crane standing before the tide represents a top-ranking minister standing before his emperor. Even standing alone means "having attained something by one's own efforts," being successful through diligence in studies. GongBi is a careful realist technique in Chinese painting, the opposite of the interpretive and freely expressive XieYi style. The technique calls for brushstrokes to “be as detailed as detailed can be”, using highly detailed brushstrokes that delimit details very precisely and without independent or expressive variation. In addition, it tries to strike a balance between artistic expression and vitality, is often highly coloured, and usually depicts figural or narrative subjects. Gongbi requires drawing with fine lines first to represent the exaggerated likenesses of the objects and then adds washes of ink and colour layer by layer to approach the perfection of exquisiteness and fine art.

I love this planner. It is glossy, so you can wipe it down if you spill on it. I tend to eat at my desk a lot. It is sturdy enough that I can write in it on my lap at times. The front is inspiring and the back has my store QR codes and other info I want to show someone quickly all in one place. It is large enough to write quite a bit of information in. Also, you can tuck in loose pages here and there as necessary and it still looks neat. I love this picture. I've purchased it before. The text is sharp. I love that I can customize the saying every year to what I want.

Solid outside cover, not flimsy at all. Paper qualify is outstanding & so much room available in the planner to organize my thoughts & plan out not only each month but also the weeks as well. Happy to see 2023 & 2024 year at a glance at the beginning of the planner. Many places to add notes & not affect the main calendar sections. Such a great product & love the design on both the front & back covers. So happy that the design & colours I chose for the personalization turned out better than I thought it would. Love that I was able to choose the coil colour as well as adjust the font colour to match the flower on the cover. So excited to use the stickers in the back of the planner, that was a nice surprise. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.
