Mounting is very important for painting and calligraphy works, which directly affects the final appearance of the works. Proper mounting can add points to the work, highlight the charm of the work and attract more attention.
Traditional mounting can be divided into xuanhe mounting, monochrome mounting, two-color mounting, three-color mounting and stunning swallow mounting according to different styles and mounting techniques. Xuanhe mounting, also known as "Song-style mounting", is a form of painting and calligraphy mounting collected by Huizong Neifu in the Northern Song Dynasty. Named after the year of Xuanhe in 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.
Monochrome mounting is to mount and draw inserts with 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 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 mounting refers to adding 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 paintings mounted in this way have harmonious colors. 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.
Surprise swallow costume-the so-called "surprise swallow" is a ribbon hanging on the pole. When the swallow flies close, the ribbon will float to scare the swallow! Now as a decorative function, 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. 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 costumes also use movable streamers to warn the perched rope swallows to protect paintings and calligraphy.
