Here are some more information for Chinese Scroll Painting:
One of the things that motivate us to do our very best is military art. The concepts of teamwork, patriotism, courage, leadership and strength form the very bedrock of our nation's character and if you have a piece of motivational art in your home or office, you most likely will find yourself thinking of these ideals more and more. Perhaps the influence will be subliminal, as you gaze at the artwork and think of what those fine words mean. When you place them into action is when you'll be most proud of yourself and your nation.
If military art motivates you, then you can also take pride in your ethnic heritage. A piece of art designed from the country of your family's origin will go a long ways to making you stand up in front of it and gain the strength to do what you need to do to not only survive, but thrive. Motivational art in such inspirational stylistic forms as from the lands of Vietnam, China, Latvia, the Ukraine, Colombia, Mexico and Guam will reach that part of you that resonates with every hearing of your country of origin's accomplishments and history. Try out the mountain scroll style from Chinese classic paintings and place on top of it your current context by showing your motto of personal philosophy: "Our hearts, our minds, our doors are always open." Choose whatever is appropriate and whatever gets your spirit on its feet after a tiring day. Whatever your culture's motto, it can fit into your everyday life and make you strong.
Thoughts of travel can motivate you to work harder, faster, smarter. Of course, a vacation is true relaxation, but how about the travel for business purposes that you do? Can you see the connection throughout history with your efforts and the work of long ago mariners, trading and exploring at the same time, bringing back exotic items and spices for the wonderment of the home folks? If you need a reminder that your business travel is not devoid of interest, consider the motivational depiction of a Yankee sailing ship, all sails aloft as she skims above the water, bound for who knows where. It is a fine day for sailing and the wind bellies each full white bit of canvas, the same sort of canvas that artists use to depict the scenes from their mind's eye. Your inner eye will be motivated to go on to bigger and better things, all through your own energy.
You would be a rare person if nature did not inspire you to motivate yourself to work. The scenes of natural beauty, such as the Yosemite Valley, the perfection of a single white rose, the miniature lives of even utilitarian subjects such as the busy bees can motivate you to think and work and plan. "Plan your work, work your plan," as a famous entrepreneur once said, and her words are still true today.
Think it, do it, and glean the earnings from it, all these sayings plus the example of the natural world as it is forever striving to perfect itself simply cannot be more motivating. If you choose a piece of motivational art to view each day, make sure to place it in a prominent spot, such as the wall beside the front door, or even on the door itself. That way, coming or going, you will be inspired to give one hundred per cent.

The Three Star Gods Fuk Luk Sau
They create good Chi throughout the entire household. The Three Star Elders are among the most popular deities worshiped in China and other Asian countries. They can be found in most Chinese homes, as well as in many homes around the world. They are typically depicted together.
Fuk is the God of Happiness. He represents happiness, fulfilling lives, many children and grandchildren, love, strong family, and wealth. Fuk's head and shoulders are above the other two. He often holds a child in his arms (or a scroll), and is always depicted in the center.
Luk is the God of Wealth and Honors. He symbolizes authority, success in career and affairs, increased income and high social status. He is often asked for help to give the family an heir. He is depicted holding the scepter of power Ru Yi and/or gold bullion, which symbolize strength, power and wealth.
Sau is the God of Longevity. He symbolizes health and longevity. He is often depicted with two symbols of longevity - a deer and peach. Alternatively, he may carry a bottle of nectar in one hand and a traveler's stick in the other hand. He can also be depicted with the mushroom of immortality and a calabash that possesses powerful healing properties.
The Fuk Luk Sau made in Chinese traditions will be surrounded by other symbols of a long and happy life, including: children (a symbol of procreation), the magic scepter Ru Yi (a symbol of happiness and wealth), Koi carp, a bowl with gold ingots and coins (symbols of wealth), peony flowers (the symbol of love), peach and calabash (symbols of longevity), and Pi Yao (a symbol of protection).
It is recommended to place the Three Chinese Star Elders in one of the following ways: In the hallway of your home, which will help make all your hopes and dreams come true. In any sector of your living room or dining room (the best is in the east - the area of health), to attract good fortune and positive energy. They can also be placed in the east of any other room where your family gathers together. They can be placed in the lobby lounge or office reception, which will attract wealth and prosperity. You can place them at work behind your workspace (behind your back) to obtain support, attract good luck, and make all your dreams come true.
In ancient China, the wealthy homes would have the sculptures and paintings of Fuk Luk Sau placed in a special room, while middle-class homes would have ceramic figurines of these gods placed on a high table in the dining room.
Today, you can find this feng shui talisman made of various materials, with the most popular ones being poly-resin and porcelain. You can also find images depicting them. Let the three stellar deities Fuk Luk Sau, bring luck to your home and family.

how do you hang a horizontal chinese scroll painting on the wall?
I was given one that is abut 7 ft wide and 2 ft high and want to display it but am totally unsure how to hang it.
PLEASE do not tell me to go to a professional framer...if I could afford that, I would not be posting on freakin Yahoo!..It of course has the usual dowels on the ends with the usual ribbon on them. It would be easy to hang if the design were not horizontal, just use the top ribbon, but I am not certain that they will work in a horizontal fashion (1 hanger on each side?)
Also, I am hoping for an answer from someone who actually knows something about Chinese scrolls and their display, not a generalist who builds American style frames (I can do that, and regularly do, for my photo shows.) The only answer so far was a waste of cyberspace and my time.
You can get some help on the following website.
