A Brief Study of Three Mounting Pieces of Calligraphy Artefacts from the Late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China
The Sichuan Museum has a massive collection of ancient calligraphy and paintings,which are of long history and good value.Three original mounted calligraphy artefacts,dated from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China,are suffering from different degrees of deterioration after a long-time restoration and are crying out to be repaired and preserved.The properties of the three removal mounting samples from their calligraphy artefacts were investigated via optical microscopy,scanning electron microscopy,fourier transform infrared spectrometer,X-ray fluorescence,and acidity meter.The results showed that the main raw materials were traditional bamboo handmade papers even though the Xuan paper and machine-made paper were used.The traditional mounting techniques,such as dyeing with Amur tree(Phellodendron amurense)bark extracts,sizing with animal glues,were used to modify the properties of paper surfaces.The samples have gone through a historical period in which handmade paper in ancient China was gradually replaced by machine-made paper.The production process,including using of raw materials and dyes,reflected parts of the current social situation and foreign exchanges in China from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China.
