* * * is divided into six steps:
Brush the prepared paste on the back of calligraphy and painting, then paste a layer of rice paper on the paste and brush it flat with a brown brush. Note that you should brush the rice paper flat on the back of the calligraphy and painting bit by bit from one end (rice paper is a little bigger than calligraphy and painting, because the framed painting should be stuck on the wall or laid flat, and the extra edges should be brushed with some paste), and it should be mounted in several layers according to your own needs. When climbing the wall, the method is the same as above, except that the extra edges are pasted, the rest of the water is best (it is not easy to take off with paste, because there are many edges, you can cut them off with a knife), so that the painting can be stuck flat on the wall, and when it is dry, it will not be taken off, so it will be cut. The picture frame should be a picture frame, and the scroll should be used as a scroll. According to the size, shape and content of calligraphy and painting, it is mounted into paintings, banners, hand scrolls and picture albums.
Second, draw pictures. It is called "painting", also called "mirror center", and there are two kinds: horizontal and vertical. The upper and lower edges of the horizontal wire are the same size, and the two rows are wider than the upper and lower edges of the wire. The two vertical silk edges are the same, and the zenith is slightly larger than the field.
Third, banners. Commonly known as the "main hall". The vertical painting center can be installed as a monochrome, two-color or three-color banner. How moderate the head of heaven and earth, the circle of silk and the dividing line are depends on the size of the painting heart. Most horizontal painting hearts are mounted in horizontal or "Xuanhe Mounting". Xuanhe mounting style generally does not include silk edges, only upper and lower partitions, heaven and earth heads and bronze silk edges. At the top of the partition, there are two "ribbons", also called "stunning ribbons". The reverse string is called "crescent pole reverse string", with the top rod attached to the reverse string and the crescent pole attached to both ends.
Fourth, hand roll. Long and narrow banners with heart-shaped patterns can be installed as large inlays, small inlays or hand scrolls. The package structure is complex, and the mounting materials of each part should be judged according to certain size specifications, so as to make the picture beautiful and harmonious. Mount the hand roll, pay attention to uneven seams, and avoid splicing the head, heart and tail in a line. The greeting head should be made of old colored gold paper or famous paper such as Tibetan scriptures. Old brocade should be used for Baotou, and jade should be used for hand-rolled picks and shaft heads.
Five, photo albums, tablets. Generally, a small number of paintings can be mounted into an open album or a canopy album respectively. The heart of the album opens on the right, and the poem opens on the left. The sky is slightly bigger than the venue, and the columns and distractions are basically the same as the venue. The painting heart of the canopy album is installed below, and the poem is installed above. The ceiling is equal to the size of the venue, and the width of the column is the same as the width of distraction. Mounted album pages are often inlaid with ribbed paper, which is clean and quaint. The surface of the book can be tapestry or silk paste, or nanmu or mahogany.
Six, framed calligraphy and painting of silk must be dyed. The color of dyeing should be selected according to the color of the picture. The pattern of heaven, earth and Zi Ling is bigger. The small bronze edge used for mounting Xuanhe is supported by silk. The dyed satin and silk are connected with rice paper to adapt to the thickness of the painting heart. Mounted calligraphy and painting are all rice paper, and summer back paper should be brocade. It is also necessary to make the seams of the summer back paper avoid the picture and the head of the character, otherwise it will be forced to curl and damage the picture. Paste is used for mounting, and if it is less, it will be beneficial to draw a plan. The ancients said that "good work uses paste like water". When scraping roof poles and floor poles, use dry pine or Chinese fir to keep them straight. Painting and calligraphy treasures, using sandalwood or camphor wood to scrape the painting rod can avoid insects and moth.
