According to Modern Chinese Dictionary, painting mounting should be "mounting" or "mounting back". Refers to the reinforcement or display attached to the mat; To attach (a piece of paper, for example) to a solid material as a binding. That is, paper or silk is used as a foil to decorate calligraphy and painting books, or to repair them to make them beautiful and durable. Where the mounting must be two layers, and the painting and calligraphy face outwards, it is called mounting; A raccoon is used to set off the back with plain paper without dye.
Mounting is a traditional industry in China. It has a history of more than two thousand years. Install products, such as separation shafts, nave, couplets, horizontal curtains, belts, lenses, departments, hand scrolls, photo albums, etc. Its basic steps include supporting the bottom, repairing, supporting and drying; It needs to go through dozens of processes such as pulp mixing, back bracing, wall hanging, adding strips, loading silk, loading shafts and labeling. Emperor Taizong attached great importance to mounting, and appointed Wang Xingzhi's calligraphy and famous paintings of past dynasties to mount directly, with Chu Suiliang and Wang Zhijing supervising. Song Huizong established the Painting Academy, and the mounter is one of the six unsolved cases in Siwen Painting Academy. Since then, China's painting and calligraphy mounting skills have been introduced to the people. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, mounting technology became a specialized industry.
