How to mount a Chinese painting after playing? I asked for expert advice.

A complete Chinese painting needs to be more beautiful and easy to preserve, circulate and collect, so it is impossible to mount it. Because most Chinese paintings are painted on fragile rice paper or silk articles. Mounting, also known as "mounting", "mounting pool" and "mounting back", is a unique technology to protect and beautify calligraphy and painting inscriptions in China. Just like western oil paintings, they should be put into exquisite frames after completion, so as to achieve a higher artistic aesthetic feeling.

Mounting can be divided into original mounting and re-mounting. Mounting the original painting is to mount the new painting according to the mounting procedure. Re-mounting is to mount the calligraphy and painting handed down from generation to generation and published on it because of poor original mounting or poor management and storage, such as shelling, damp mildew, rot, moth-eaten, rat bite and other reasons. The framed paintings and calligraphy are firm and beautiful, and easy to collect and decorate. Re-mounted ancient paintings will also continue its vitality. The ancients said: "The restoration of historical sites will delay medical treatment ... doctors will rise at will if they are good, and they will die at will if they are not good."

So what is the procedure for mounting Chinese paintings? Generally, it is first mounted on the back of the painting with paper support, and then wrapped with twisted, silk, paper, etc. , and then installed as a layout. Traditional mounting is varied, but its finished products can be divided into three categories: hanging shafts, hand scrolls and picture books. No matter the size, shape and use of the original mounted painting, there are only three steps: mounting the heart, embedding and mounting. It's just that the mounting of painting heart is an important process in the whole decoration process. It is quite difficult to re-mount old paintings and calligraphy. Tear down the old painting first, clean the mold, fill the hole, etc. , and then re-mount according to the mounting process of the new painting.

China's mounting technique came into being with the history of China's painting. According to the historical data preserved today, mounting technology appeared as early as 1500 years ago, and there are written records on the production of grain paste, anti-corrosion, selection of mounting paper, decontamination, repair and yellowing of ancient paintings. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Jia wrote Decorative Records, and in the Qing Dynasty, he learned to write Tuesday Corner, both of which are China's special works on mounting.

Mounting, also known as "mounting", "mounting pool" and "mounting back", is a unique technology to beautify and protect calligraphy and paintings and inscriptions in China. Mounting is also an art, as the saying goes, three-point painting and seven-point mounting shows the importance of mounting. Once the painting and calligraphy are mounted, they have the feeling of Mo Miao and become a complete work, which makes people feel happy. The method is to mount the back of the painting and calligraphy works with paper support, then wrap them with silk, silk and paper, then support them, and then install them into axes or layouts. The finished product can be divided into roll, shaft, book and sheet according to its shape. The mounted calligraphy and paintings and inscriptions are easy to collect and decorate. A Record of Mounting in the Ming Dynasty, A Corner by Tu Xixue in the Qing Dynasty, An Introduction to Painting and Calligraphy Mounting in China by Feng in Modern Times and Painting and Calligraphy Mounting in China by Du Zixiong; They are all specialized works that systematically discuss painting and calligraphy mounting.

Xuanhe decoration: also known as "Song-style mounting". It is a painting and calligraphy mounting form collected by Huizong (Evonne) in the Northern Song Dynasty. Named after the year number of Xuanhe, Hui Zong (A.D.119-1125). This style is the most complicated one of the mounting strips. For example, Ivy Leung's "Lu Xue Tu Juan" in the Palace Museum uses silk, yellow silk on the back of petals, and white Song stationery at last. The painting itself takes five paragraphs. Also stamped with the seal of the inner government collection according to a certain format.

Wuzhuang: Suzhou and Yangzhou have been mounted for hundreds of years in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, connecting the past and the future, and are famous throughout the country. The history is called Wuzhuang. Its mounting pieces are flat and soft, the mosaic color is quiet, and it is assembled and cut, and the old ones are adjusted. "Decoration Chronicle" said: "Zhou Wang has an eye, and his family has many treasures and secrets, so he studies decoration." In the Ming Dynasty, Hu Yinglin's Shao Baoshan House Pen Collection had the best Wu clothes, but it was also common in other places. Highly praised.

Red gang: a form of frame. Before liberation, there was a red and white vertical axis couplet in Suzhou, Yangzhou and Shanghai, which was specially used for weddings, funerals and celebrations. It's called "Red Gang".

Hanging list: Before liberation, Shanghai, Suzhou and Yangzhou had a special mounting for ordinary calligraphy and painting, called hanging list.

Monochrome mounting: that is, the mounting material uses one color. This depends on the ratio of the length of the painting core to the length of the painting. Generally, if the mosaic length does not exceed the length of the painting core, it can be inlaid in one color. For example, a three-foot painting core with a three-foot mosaic can be mounted on a six-foot vertical shaft, and only one color can be used. In the application of mosaic color, the purpose is to highlight the painting meaning of the painting core, and the principle is beautiful and generous.

Two-color mounting: Two-color mounting is to embed the gongs with appropriate colors, and the remaining length is not enough, and then use black and heavy inlay to connect with the heavens and the earth and install the required length. If the core is two feet long, if the frame is about six feet long, it needs to be inlaid with four feet, so that only one color is used, and the length of the inlay is twice as long as that of the core, which has the side effect of being a guest in the hall. At the same time, it looks monotonous. This can be installed in two colors. That is, up and down circles, plus heaven and earth.

Three-color mounting: Three-color mounting is a boundary between circle and heaven and earth. Its side width can be determined according to the size of the frame, or three inches, or two inches, or one inch and five minutes. The color of the circle should be lighter, the sky and the ground should be deeper, and the boundary should not be too deep or too shallow. The colors of this picture are in harmony. And it has a gentle, gentle and solemn taste. But the colors of circle, boundary and heaven and earth should not be too similar, and they should have a sense of rhythm. Avoid, occupational diseases are dark in color and light in color, which will make readers feel empty.

Antique Mounting Pool: Before liberation, Suzhou, Shanghai and Yangzhou were called mounting art, which specially mounted precious paintings and calligraphy for famous painters and collectors, and was called "Antique Mounting Pool".

Amazing Swallow: Also known as "Ribbon", it was only at the top of the painting at first. Swallows fly close to the picture, and two ribbons flutter naturally, which can scare the swallows away. Later, when used for decoration, these two belts were fixed on the ceiling. The width of the ribbon can be determined according to the width of the painting. For example, for a two-foot wide mounting, a six-point wide ribbon is more suitable. The material used is the same as that of the partition. Its length is the same as zenith, but it should not be too thick, which will make the painting uneven. If the barrier is made of silk and there are patterns on the silk, you should pay attention to the integrity of the patterns when stabbing the ribbon. Nowadays, Japanese clothes also have movable streamers, which are used to disturb the perched rope swallows to protect calligraphy and painting, so they are also called "scared flies"
