Features: Framing is a unique traditional craft in China. Only through exquisite framing can calligraphy and paintings become complete works of art. It plays a particularly important role in preserving historical calligraphy, paintings, and important historical materials. With the popularization and development of painting and calligraphy art in China, the art of framing has gained increasing attention, and the demand for people to understand framing knowledge has grown. The greatest feature of this book lies in its practical experience, much like Zhou Jiazhou's Treatise on Framing. It is written by someone with rich practical experience, not by theorists who speak in vague generalities. The reason for introducing the framing artist Tang Zhaoyu at the beginning of the book is to illustrate this point. The author possesses both practical experience and a high level of cultural literacy, and photography art is closely related to calligraphy and painting art. As a result, the exposition integrates technicality, knowledge, and artistry. The book is written in a practical and clear manner, making it highly applicable. It provides a detailed introduction to the framing process and specific operational techniques for calligraphy and paintings, along with methods for restoring old and antique works, as well as selected writings on framing by ancient masters. It also incorporates the relationship between art appraisal and framing.
