Applicant: rongbaozhai, Beijing

The mounting and restoration of ancient calligraphy and painting is a unique traditional craft in China. It is mainly used for the decoration, restoration and restoration of calligraphy and painting, stele, etc. it has a history of more than 1700 years. Mounting in ancient times was called "mounting", also known as "decoration" and "mounting pool". The emergence of this technique has made a great contribution to the preservation of precious national cultural heritage and the inheritance of ancient civilization.

After the long-term development of Jin, Tang, song and Yuan Dynasties, the traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy mounting and restoration technology basically took shape in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, forming two schools of "Beijing mounting" with Beijing as the center and "Suzhou mounting" with Suzhou as the center. "Rongbaozhai", a time-honored mounting shop, has its own unique and complete process for mounting and repairing ancient calligraphy and paintings. It is the most concentrated embodiment of "Beijing mounting" and is unique in the national mounting industry.

During the period of the Republic of China, there were two schools of painting and calligraphy restoration in China: Yuchi Shanfang and dashuzhai in Liulichang, Jigu Pavilion and liudingzhi zhuangchi in Shanghai. After the founding of new China, the mounting masters of Liu Dingzhi's zhuangchi and Yuchi Shanfang were invited to the Palace Museum to be specially responsible for the mounting and restoration of the calligraphy and painting relics in the Palace Museum. They successively restored a number of national treasure books, such as the painting of Qingming River by Zhang Zeduan in Song Dynasty, the painting of Youchun by Zhan Ziqian in Sui Dynasty, the painting of Wuniu by Han in Tang Dynasty, and the painting of hanxizai banquet by Gu Hongzhong in Five Dynasties At the same time, it has trained many professionals to master the mounting and restoration technology of ancient Chinese calligraphy and paintings for the Palace Museum.
