A complete Chinese painting needs to be more beautiful and convenient for preservation, circulation and collection, which is inseparable from mounting. Because most Chinese paintings are painted on fragile rice paper or silk articles. Mounting is a unique technique to protect and beautify calligraphy and painting inscriptions in China. Just like western oil paintings, they should be put into beautiful frames after completion, so as to achieve a higher artistic aesthetic feeling.
2. Vertical China painting and calligraphy mounting. The middle part is called "painting heart" (a painting style, also called "Ruizi"), the upper part is called "Tianmu" and the lower part is called "foot". There are large and small sizes. Those over four feet are called "big axis", commonly known as "nave", those with large sizes are called "lobby" or "big nave", and those under three feet are called "vertical axis". There are three colors, two colors and one color silk (or colored paper) installation. There are also silk framed ones. Install the mast and lower the shaft. Some Tian Tou posted "Jingyan Belt" (a kind of "ribbon"), which was popular in the Northern Song Dynasty when Xuanhe Xuandi was proclaimed, and then followed. The "surprise swallow belt" was not solid at first, but could float, and then it was solid, purely for holding cymbals. The upper and lower ends of the painting heart can be inlaid with brocade strips, which are called "brocade eyebrows" or "brocade teeth".
Install a wooden shaft up and down on the framed painting and calligraphy works, so that it can be hung flat and easy to appreciate; It is easy to roll up and store. This is called the vertical axis. Vertical axis is the most common mounting form in China traditional painting and calligraphy.
Step 3 cross-dress
1. A flag style in Chinese painting mounting. Generally, the range should not be too large. The edges and blanks depend on the size of the border, but the left and right edges and blanks are generally wider than the upper and lower edges and blanks. For example, the top, bottom and blank are one inch, and the left and right sides are five inches. The cross is not equipped with shaft rods, and the beams are installed on both sides.
2. The narrow part between the upper beam and the middle beam of the partition wall in the interior decoration of ancient buildings. Multi-purpose small columns are divided into several sections, and each section is made into a grid or a small window the same as the partition core.
4, hand roll
A flag style in traditional Chinese painting mounting. It is the name that you can read in the order that you can hold it in your hand. Because the amplitude is characterized by "long", it is also called "long roll". Such as Wang Ximeng's "Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains". Painted with a whole silk, it is 100 cm long. Because it is a banner, it is also called "horizontal scroll". In scroll painting, the mounting process of hand scrolls is very demanding. Handwritten scrolls are different in different times, and the common formats since Ming and Qing Dynasties are mainly composed of zenith, poem head, painting heart and paper tail. Except that the introduction is framed with Song brocade or silk, its color is white rice paper.
Handscroll is to mount calligraphy and painting into a scroll, that is, the elders of calligraphy and painting banners, which are not suitable for hanging, but can only be rolled up. There are large and small papers. Handwritten paper is not only convenient for reading and copying at the desk, but also suitable for preserving and prolonging the life of calligraphy and painting.
