“Dream of The Red Chamber” in Accordion-Dragon scale binding. This is a modern hybrid of the traditional accordion and dragon scale binding technique. By spreading out the folios, and lifting up gently the squamas, audience is brought progressively into the scenes of the ‘Dreams of Red Chamber’.
Every folio contains a core squama assembled with the dragon scale binding technique. Song Dynasty scholar and book critic Zhang Bangji described in his documentary book “Mo Zhuang Man Lu” as: “… flip page after page while unfurling to the end, the scroll remains integral.” The overall sensation is depicted as “a dragon flies among the pages, whilst the book (is also being animated as if it) prances like a dragon.”
he covering plate of each volume is mounted with delicate silk and Nanjing brocade to match with the blurry and implicit scenes of the “Dream”. Each volume is staged in a crystalline acrylic box, displaying the natural and authentic look of the “Dream” in a “Accordion- Dragon scale binding” way.
it took Zhang Xiaodong four and a half years to combine the traditional dragon scale and accordion binding techniques to become the new Accordion-Dragon scale binding.
With such，the legendary “Dream of The Red Chamber” is recreated as a great grand piece of art with no precedent comparison.
By spreading out the folios, and lifting up gently the squamas,audience is brought progressively into the scenes of the ‘Dreams of Red Chamber’.
This is just the debut of a dream. Each detail of the “Dream” is the result of painstaking efforts of the creator, each deserves attentive appreciation, and each represents a form of invitation.

Using the Forbidden City Palace Museum’s one existing dragon scale book for reference, he spent four years printing and binding his latest work, which was exhibited at Art Central fair in Hong Kong in 2018.
In 2010 Zhang Xiaodong brought back the lost art form in life with dragon scale binding“Diamond Sutra”. Zhang iaodong has had several gallery and museum exhibitions, including at the Kunstmuseum Bern and at the Sin Sin Fine Art in Hong Kong
Passed down between generations of royals and literate upper class families, the finished works were thought to resemble dragons,each page appearing like a “scale.” With few of the books surviving to the present day, the bookbinding technique was at risk of becominc obsolete before Zhang decided to research and revive it.
The Dragon Scale Binding disappeared from the world since Tang Dynasty. The most recent surviving book of dragon scale binding is a 1,000-year-old, hand copied by his wife and master calligrapher Wu Cailuan housed as private collection at the National Palace Museum in Beijing.
