How should calligraphy and painting be stored after mounting?

书画作品经过装裱后，已经成为一件完整的艺术品，需要精心爱护，合理存放，以免使其受潮发霉或受到熏染。存放时要将画卷用棉连纸或薄皮纸包裹一层，外边再包裹一层新报纸(报纸上的油墨可防止虫蛀)后套在塑料袋中并系住袋口。

After mounting, calligraphy and painting works have become a complete work of art, which needs careful care and reasonable storage to avoid damp, mildew or infection. When storing, the picture scroll shall be wrapped with a layer of cotton continuous paper or thin paper, and then wrapped with a layer of new newspaper (the ink on the newspaper can prevent moths). After that, it shall be sleeved in a plastic bag and tied at the mouth of the bag.

如画幅较多，可将画卷包好后有次序地平摆在抽屉里或画橱内，不要摆得很多而使下层受压，应分若干层，并在每层上贴上签条，标注目录。画橱要放置在干燥凉爽的地方，橱子内可放些防潮剂和防虫剂。

If there are many pictures, the pictures can be wrapped up and placed in the drawer or cabinet in order. Don't put them too much and put the lower layer under pressure. It should be divided into several layers, and each layer should be pasted with a sign and marked with a catalogue. The painting cabinet should be placed in a dry and cool place, and some moisture-proof agent and insect proof agent can be put in the cabinet.

对于名贵的古字画卷，在收藏存放时更要加倍爱护和精心管理，除了上述要求外，还应根据画轴的长度和直径量身定做纸盒、木盒、锦囊或布囊，在签条上注明作者、内容、存放日期及复原日期等。古旧字画在存放中应少打开、少舒卷，以延长其寿命。

For the precious ancient calligraphy and painting scroll, we should pay more attention to care and careful management when collecting and storing. In addition to the above requirements, we should also customize the carton, wooden box, brocade bag or cloth bag according to the length and diameter of the painting shaft, and indicate the author, content, storage date and restoration date on the signature. Ancient calligraphy and paintings should be less opened and rolled during storage, so as to prolong their service life.

在挂画时注意不要将画幅挂在生锈的钉子上及有污迹的墙壁上，更不要张挂在潮湿的墙壁上，同时还应注意不要张挂在阳光直射和风向对流的地方。挂画和摘画时，都要使用画叉叉牢丝绦，防止叉接不紧天头下折。摘画时要防止将画幅折上硬痕，摘下后平放在洁净干燥的案面上轻轻卷起。

When hanging the picture, pay attention not to hang the picture on rusty nails and stained walls, let alone on wet walls. At the same time, pay attention not to hang it in places with direct sunlight and convective wind direction. When hanging and picking pictures, the drawing fork should be used to fasten the silk sash to prevent the fork from not tight and the head from folding down. When picking the picture, it is necessary to prevent the picture from being folded with hard marks. After taking it off, it is placed flat on a clean and dry surface and rolled up gently.

如画幅挂在墙上竖着卷画时，可左手心向上轻松地顺着地脚上的轴杆，右手拿着右端的轴头向上卷；如画幅平放在案子上，可两手握住两端的轴头向前轻卷，亦可左手握轴手心向下，右手握住右端的轴头向前卷。手卷、对联等没有轴头的画幅，可一手心向下握轴，一手按轴向前推卷。

For example, when the picture is hung on the wall and rolled up vertically, the left hand can easily roll up along the shaft rod on the foundation with the heart upward, and the right hand can roll up with the shaft head at the right end; If the picture is placed flat on the case, you can hold the shaft head at both ends with both hands and roll it forward slightly, or hold the shaft head at the right end with the left hand and the palm down with the right hand. Scroll, couplet and other paintings without shaft head can hold the shaft down with one hand and push the scroll forward with the other hand.

书画一经装成，不论是竖着卷还是平着卷，都要注意不能使握卷的手，手指向上抠画背，以免使画背受硬折产生伤痕。挂画、摘画和卷画过程中，都要注意手的清洁，切忌手上的汗渍沾染画卷。

Once the calligraphy and painting are installed, whether they are rolled vertically or flat, pay attention not to make the hand holding the roll and fingers pull up the back of the painting, so as to avoid the hard folding of the back of the painting and causing scars. In the process of hanging, picking and rolling pictures, we should pay attention to the cleanness of our hands and avoid the sweat stains on our hands from contaminating the pictures.
