A complete Chinese painting needs to be more beautiful and easy to preserve, circulate and collect, so it cannot be framed. Because most Chinese paintings are painted on fragile rice paper or silk items. Framing is also called "mounting sulfon", "mounting pool", and "mounting back". It is a unique technology in my country to protect and beautify calligraphy, painting and inscriptions. Just like Western oil paintings, they must be put into exquisite frames after they are completed. It can achieve a higher artistic beauty.
Mounting can also be divided into original mounting and re-mounting. Original mounting is to mount the newly painted paintings according to the mounting procedures, and re-mounting is to mount the original paintings. The paintings and calligraphy handed down from ancient times that are not good or are caused by poor management and storage, such as the shells falling off, becoming moldy due to moisture, decaying and breaking, or being bitten by insects and rats, need to be framed. The framed paintings and calligraphy are strong, beautiful, and easy to collect and arrange. Appreciation. And the re-mounting of ancient paintings will also extend its vitality. The ancients said: "Re-mounting ancient monuments is like a disease that delays treatment... If the treatment is good, it will happen easily, and if the treatment is not good, it will die." ”
So what is the process of mounting Chinese paintings? Generally, it is mounted on the back of the painting with a paper support, then edged with twist, silk, paper, etc., and then the axis is installed to form the layout. Traditional There are many kinds of mountings, but the finished products can be divided into three categories according to their shapes: hanging scrolls, hand scrolls, and albums. Regardless of the size, shape, and purpose of the framed painting, the original framed painting can only support the framed painting. There are three steps: mounting and mounting. However, the re-mounting of old paintings and calligraphy is quite difficult. Repair holes, etc., and then remount according to the mounting process of new paintings.
Our country’s mounting technology came into being along with the history of Chinese painting. Judging from the historical data preserved today, it was as early as 1,500 years ago. Mounting technology has already appeared, and by the Ming Dynasty, there were written records on the production of paste, antisepsis, selection of mounting paper, and the decontamination, repair, and yellowing of ancient paintings. "Decoration Chronicles" and "Yijiao Pian" written on Tuesday in the Qing Dynasty are specialized works that systematically discuss mounting in my country.
Mounting is also known as "decoration", "mounting pool", and "mounting back". , is a unique technique in my country to beautify and protect calligraphy, painting and tablets. As the saying goes, three-quarter paintings are framed, which shows the importance of painting and calligraphy once they are mounted. The method of making a complete work is to mount it on the back of the calligraphy and painting work, then use damask, silk, and paper to frame it, and then install it on the shaft or layout. The shapes can be divided into scrolls, scrolls, albums and pieces. The mounted calligraphy and painting, and the inscriptions are easy to collect and arrange for viewing. He wrote "An Introduction to the Mounting of Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy" and "The Mounting of Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy" by Du Zixiong; they are all specialized works that systematically discuss the mounting of paintings and calligraphy.
