How to preserve calligraphy and painting works;
1, with a certain temperature and humidity. Calligraphy and painting are mainly composed of paper and silk, silk, brocade and other fabrics. 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 to collect 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. Check the collected calligraphy and paintings several times a year, choose sunny and dry weather, hang them one by one, blow off the water and then put them away. Album pages should also be opened on one side. If the hole is large or seriously damaged, it needs to be inspected by mounter. The damp and moldy calligraphy and painting should be carefully unfolded to prevent it from being broken. If it is wet for a period of time, blow-dry it from the back or blow-dry, and then mount it. If it is moldy and discolored, it is generally difficult to mount it again. Even if a painter is invited to add color, the original color will be lost.
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 suitable. Because of the hard texture of dry cloth or brush, hard wiping will damage the paper, and the pressure during wiping can make some dust drill into the pores of the paper, which is counterproductive. The correct way is to put 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 brush it lightly with a long soft brush.
4, calligraphy and painting should not be exposed for a long time. Some people hang calligraphy and painting from New Year's Day to the end of the year, even for several years. Long-term exposure to wind and sun has created a painting and calligraphy weather. 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 calligraphy and painting are mainly for layout and appreciation. The solution to this contradiction is not to expose hanging for a long time. You can frame the calligraphy and painting first, surround it with silk or silk, and then match a frame according to the size of the calligraphy and painting to avoid being polluted by weathering and dust.
