What is the value of calligraphy and painting collection and how to maintain it?

How to preserve calligraphy and painting works;

1, with a certain temperature and humidity. Calligraphy and painting are mainly composed of paper and fabrics such as silk, silk and brocade. They are very delicate and have their own most suitable temperature and humidity requirements. Generally speaking, the temperature of 15℃ to 18℃ and the relative humidity of 55% to 65% are most conducive to the preservation of family calligraphy and painting. Especially for precious calligraphy and painting, we should pay more attention to collection.

2. Prevent rat bites, insect bites, dampness and mildew. Of course, we should pay attention to the collection of precious calligraphy and painting. We can make a long cylindrical special cloth bag for collection and hang it in the air to prevent rats from biting and getting wet. If it is kept in a calligraphy and painting box, the box should be kept in a dry place. We should check the collected calligraphy and paintings several times a year, choose sunny and dry weather, hang them one by one, blow away the water and then put them away. Album pages should also open on one side. If the hole is large or badly damaged, it needs to be inspected by the mounter. Moist and moldy calligraphy and painting should be carefully unfolded to prevent damage. If it is wet for a while, it should be dried or blow-dried from the back and then installed. If it is moldy and discolored, it is generally difficult to reinstall it. Even if you ask the painter to add color, you will lose the original color.

3. Properly handle the dirt on the surface of calligraphy and painting. Some people use cloth or brush to wipe the dust on calligraphy and painting. This method is not appropriate. Because the texture of dry cloth or brush is hard, wiping hard will damage the paper, and the pressure during wiping will make some dust drill into the pores of the paper, which will be counterproductive. The correct way is to lay the calligraphy and painting flat on the table and gently dust it with a feather broom to ensure that the calligraphy and painting are intact. If the dust on the drooping shaft is difficult to brush off, you can gently brush it with a long soft brush.

4, calligraphy and painting should not be exposed for a long time. Some people hang calligraphy and painting from the New Year to the end of the year, even for several years. Long-term exposure to the sun has created the atmosphere of calligraphy and painting. Over time, the paper becomes brittle and easy to break, and the decorative painting is eclipsed and lacks luster; In severe cases, it is difficult to lift the paper and reinstall it. But painting and calligraphy are mainly for layout and appreciation. The solution to this contradiction is not to expose the suspension for a long time. You can frame the calligraphy and painting first, surround it with silk or silk, and then match it with a frame according to the size of the calligraphy and painting to avoid it being polluted by weathering and dust.

Painting and calligraphy mounting problem:

1. Is the collection of paintings and calligraphy framed or not?

Regarding the question of which is more convenient for painting and calligraphy to be mounted or not, it is necessary to analyze the specific situation. One of the purposes of collecting paintings and calligraphy is appreciation, and only framed paintings and calligraphy can be better appreciated. However, if collectors have a large number of paintings and calligraphy, it will be difficult to store them one by one. In this case, some exhibits can be framed, and the rest can be used as pure collectibles, so it is more convenient to store them without being framed. However, it is relatively easy to store without installation. Decades later, if books that are not mounted are properly preserved, the preservation effect should be better than that of mounted paintings and calligraphy. However, from the perspective of long-term transmission from generation to generation, painting and calligraphy mounts are more durable than painting and calligraphy hearts. Therefore, even if the method is proper, it should not exceed 50 years.

2. Which calligraphy and painting hearts need to be mounted in time?

Some calligraphy and painting hearts are made of bamboo paper with weak tension, or extremely thin cotton paper, or cooked paper and cooked silk with too large glue alum. These calligraphy and painting hearts are easily broken or cracked, so they cannot be preserved for a long time. Installing them as soon as possible is the best strategy.

3. What are the disadvantages of calligraphy and painting?

Calligraphy and painting are generally not suitable for entrusted custody. Once painting and calligraphy are supported, the thickness and hardness of painting and calligraphy increase. If painting and calligraphy are often stretched and appreciated, it is easy to make the width of painting and calligraphy rough or crease, thus affecting the life of painting and calligraphy and making it difficult to mount in the future.

4. How should painting and calligraphy be mounted?

The framed calligraphy and painting must be packaged. According to the conditions and the preciousness of calligraphy and painting, it can be placed in wooden cases and brocade boxes. If there is no box packaging, it can also be equipped with cloth bags or plastic bags (the bag mouth should be sealed after bagging). The simplest form of packaging should also be wrapped in newspaper. All paintings and calligraphy packed in soft packages should be stored in multi-compartment painting and calligraphy cabinets or painting and calligraphy racks. When stored, it should be placed horizontally, not vertically, and it should not be "tied" or "stacked". If it is necessary to "bundle" due to conditions, two more newspapers should be wrapped on each axis. No matter how calligraphy and painting are mounted and stored, we should pay attention to moisture-proof, heat-proof, wind-proof, antifouling, pressure-proof, moth-eaten and rodent-proof. The same is true for storing paintings and calligraphy.

5. How should the calligraphy and painting heart be stored?

There are two reasonable storage forms for unpainted calligraphy and painting centers. The first is "rolling". The method is as follows: first, divide the calligraphy and painting heart into 20 pieces (each piece is roughly the same width), and put a layer of Xuan paper slightly wider than the calligraphy and painting under each calligraphy and painting heart. Take the newspaper roll as the axis, and roll each calligraphy and painting into a roll. Pay attention to ironing to prevent folding, overlapping or uneven edges of calligraphy and painting. Then wrap it in a newspaper and put it in a picture box. The second is "exhibition and storage". The method is: first, put a layer of Xuan paper under each painting and calligraphy heart, lay it flat on the chopping board one by one, with the large format below and the small format above, then cover it with several layers of newspapers and then cover it with plastic film. It is not advisable to press heavy objects. This method is most beneficial to calligraphy and painting, but it occupies a large area and is not suitable for storing large or huge calligraphy and painting centers. Don't fold the heart of calligraphy and painting, because it will break after a few years or leave a black crease at the fold.

6. What are the disadvantages of hanging or storing calligraphy and painting works for a long time?

Painting and calligraphy mounting pieces should not be hung for many years, but should be rolled up and stored after hanging for a period of time. This is especially true whether it is ancient calligraphy and painting or today's scenic spots. The wet season is too heavy; In winter, there is a heating stove or heating equipment indoors. Hanging calligraphy and painting under this condition is easy to accelerate the aging of calligraphy and painting texture and affect its life. On the other hand, calligraphy and painting mounting pieces cannot be preserved for a long time. Mi Fei, a great painter in the Song Dynasty, said, "Calligraphy and painting are comfortable and close to time and frequency, so they are not bad. Those shafts that are not opened for a long time will become brittle and they will not be stuck. " This is why experienced collectors hang paintings and calligraphy in turn.

7. What are the advantages and disadvantages of calligraphy and painting?

Calligraphy and painting rack is a product of modern times, and its usage is increasing year by year. Its four advantages: 1. Picture frame calligraphy and painting occupy a small wall, such as sofa, dining table and desk can be hung on it; 2. It has stronger decorative effect than shaft installation; 3. Under the protection of the picture frame, calligraphy and painting can reduce the damage caused by weathering, smoking and dirt pollution, especially for Japanese calligraphy and painting, it can also avoid cracks caused by unfolding. 4. The frameless calligraphy and painting heart can put several layers of white paper on the back into the frame for hanging and appreciation, and can be replaced from time to time, which is a very convenient form. However, paintings and calligraphy with picture frames should not be hung on walls with ebb and flow or stored in places with high humidity, otherwise, paintings and calligraphy will be easily corroded by moisture and gas, causing irreparable losses. The mounting of new paintings and calligraphy is only a stopgap measure, and it will eventually be mounted into a shaft in order to be circulated for a long time.

8. What paintings and calligraphy works need to be unveiled in time?

If the original mounting has fallen off, the calligraphy and painting has been damaged or creased, it should be removed and repaired in time to prevent damage. In new paintings and calligraphy, if they are damaged, soaked, moldy or endangered by insects and rats due to poor mounting or improper hanging and storage, they should be exposed in time to prevent them from being damaged again and affecting the life of paintings and calligraphy.

Finally, the most labor-saving and cost-saving method of painting and calligraphy preservation is to put the painting and calligraphy into the electronic moistureproof box. The stable temperature and humidity environment not only prevents the oxidation and aging of calligraphy and painting, but also effectively prevents the occurrence of moths and molds, once and for all.
