Generally, it is mounted on the back of the painting with a paper holder first.

Then use twisted, silk, paper and other edges, and then assemble the shaft to form the layout.

Some classifications:

Xuanhe clothing:

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.

Wu Zhuang:

After hundreds of years of Ming and Qing dynasties, the mounting of Su Yang and Yangzhou is a link between the past and the future, and it is famous throughout the country, known as Wuzhuang in history. 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 kind of mounting. 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".

Monochrome installation:

In other words, the installation material is 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 installation:

Two-color inlay is to use appropriate color inlay around the tribute, and the rest is to use dark color and hidden inlay to connect heaven and earth to 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 installation:

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 loading pool:

Before liberation, Suzhou, Shanghai, Yangzhou and other places were called decorative arts, which specially mounted precious paintings and calligraphy for famous painters and collectors, and were called "antique mounting pools".

Jing Yan:

Also known as the "ribbon", it was originally just at the top of the painting. 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 to warn the perched rope swallows to protect paintings and calligraphy, so they are also called "scared flies".
