Do the old how to do the old handwriting?

methods and identification of calligraphy and painting

there are two forms of calligraphy and painting: one is to make paper, silk and ink old before painting, and the other is to make calligraphy and painting old after the whole.

first, the old paper silk and identification.

old dyeing method with colored water: old dyeing method with gardenia and black tea. Boil the fruit of Gardenia with water, and the water is burnt yellow. Black tea (or old broken paper, etc.) is dark red after boiling. Mix gardenia fruit water, black tea and old broken paper water according to the paper silk color of the original imitation painting and calligraphy, or add ink, cyanine, ochre, gamboge and other mixed water for dyeing.

light smoking method: first, long-term irradiation with strong light or strong ultraviolet light to accelerate the aging of paper and silk.

Second, using the smoke generated by burning firewood and straw to make the paper silk old, or leaving it in the country kitchen for a long time to make it oily and smoke, will make the paper silk old.

appraisal: the framed ancient calligraphy and painting will naturally form a patina in the process of circulation, which is bright, smooth and antique. The fake paper silk must have water stains, no luster, no patina, dark color and subtle shades of halo. Smoked paper and silk are also dull, and the smoked color will be uneven and smoky. Moreover, this kind of old paper is angry, and it has no natural and simple feeling compared with the old original.

Second, the old-fashioned pen and ink and identification

It doesn't matter whether the pen is old. The old-fashioned pen is nothing more than studying the pen habits of the imitated ancient (or modern) painters and what kind of pen to use, namely, sheep hair, wolf hair or doubled both brush, to imitate a so-called old pen, so as to give better play to the fake calligraphy and painting and achieve the original pen and ink effect.

besides looking for old ink, we can also use new ink to make old ink. The method is: adding a small amount of gamboge or a little indigo into the ground ink, and after repeated experiments, until the satisfactory ink color is obtained. After painting, some of them are covered with incense ashes.

It's difficult to identify the counterfeit works directly copied with ancient ink only from the ink color. The most effective way is to use a fine needle to draw a little ink, and the white mark is new, because the surface is old and the inside is new. When new ink is used to make old calligraphy and painting, it will be fresh and bright, and it will be angry.

third, the overall old and identification

the overall old is to finish the calligraphy and painting first and then do the old. The method is to dilute the color water, then add the glue alum and bletilla striata water, first sweep it, dry it, then brush it, from light to thick, and brush and dye it layer by layer, and so on for several times until it is as old as before. This kind of old, neither run color, the surface is smooth and bright, help is generally difficult to identify. The first method of identification is to scratch with a needle tip, which will show a new color with white marks. You can also use clear water to dot the blank space. If it seeps, the paper will be old. If it doesn't seep at all, it will be new. Because after the whole paper is old, it will become mature if it is raw, but this method is limited to freehand brushwork. There is also a tongue licking test, which can not only tell the raw and cooked, but also distinguish the smell of alum.

how to make old A4 paper

Step 1: soak a cup of black tea water, which can be exchanged with clear water to the desired color.

step 2: prepare a brush.

step 3: lay the paper on a flat table.

step 4: dip the black tea water with a brush and brush it on the paper.

step 5: naturally dry the brushed paper.

Other ways to make paper old:

Smoke method

Prepare the paper, hang it in a relatively closed room, and smoke the new paper with the smoke from burning coconut shells. At this time, the paper will show a faint brown color.

if the paper is to be "tired" (that is, to create the aging state of the paper due to years), it is necessary to brush it gently with dilute sulfuric acid. Because sulfuric acid is colorless and tasteless, the treated paper looks the same as the original paper. Two months later, due to the action of sulfuric acid, the surface of the paper presents a carbonized state.

who knows the simplest way to make old paper?

2. Boil the water with Cortex Phellodendri and Fructus Gleditsiae Abnormalis to brush the works for many times. Can wash away floating ink, paper becomes yellow with black, and phellodendron can prevent insects from eating.

3. Remove the paper and put it on a new piece of paper again.

4. Brush the paper with Pu 'er tea powder in water for many times.

5. finally, pour the tea powder with water on the paper and leave it overnight to remove impurities.

6. Rinse the work with clear water for several times, then expose it after drying, and then take it back and hold it.

7. Brush the works with Bletilla striata water, which can improve the brightness and make the paper feel old and new.

8. Mount it on the second negative quilt paper and finish.

Soak or spray new paper with 1% ferric chloride solution for several times. After standing for one week, the color of the paper turns yellow. After a while, the color of the paper turns slightly gray, which looks like old paper. Or the new paper is irradiated with ultraviolet light for 2-5 days (the commercially available ultraviolet lamp is enough), so that some fibers in the paper are destroyed (this process is called paper aging), so that the feel of the new paper is similar to that of the old paper, and then dyed with gamboge; Traditional methods include using tea, dark plum water, straw and wheat straw water and soy sauce to dye new paper into old paper.

soak in the overnight black tea water (the overnight tea will have particles of different sizes, which will make the effect more realistic), and the soaking time will be based on personal needs. After that, burn out the realistic effect of being bitten by insects with cigarette butts, and pay attention to the feeling of yellowing and brittle cracking around the small mouth. If you don't think it's exaggerated enough, you can use charcoal water to make the paper moldy ... This is the practice of antique painting and calligraphy.

Paper obsolescence and identification

The method of obsolescence is not for counterfeiting, but for increasing the effect.

1. First, put the work on a thick paper, and when it is half dry, brush it hard with a brown brush, so that a small amount of ink marks appear at the mouth of the word. 2. Use Cortex Phellodendri and Fructus Gleditsiae Abnormalis to boil water and brush the works many times.

floating ink can be washed away, and the work becomes yellow with black. Phellodendron amurense can prevent insects from eating. 3. Remove the work and put it on a new piece of paper again.

4. Brush the works with Pu 'er tea powder in water for many times. 5. Finally, pour the tea powder with water on the work, stay overnight, and remove impurities.

6. Rinse the work with clear water for several times, then expose it after it is dry, and then take it back and hold it. 7. Brushing the work with Bletilla striata water can improve the brightness and make the work feel old and new.

8. Mount it on the second negative quilt paper and finish. You can also use old newspapers, black tea, bark, chestnut shells and other boiled water to make old ones, or use sandpaper to polish them, but in any case, you must brush them with Bletilla striata water at last, otherwise, the ink will not come out.

the works are brushed several times, and then they are connected after drying, which is very easy. Brush it once or twice a day, which is not very troublesome.

I didn't know how to do it until after the experiment. If you smoke, it will be better to play the ash several times while there is water. It's best to entrust the old, otherwise the work will be broken.

be more specific. I learned these methods from an old painter in the Forbidden City.

In her workshop, I have seen the dry clay sculpture, which is as new as the paper on the market now. Every day, they are mounting the memorials, paintings and calligraphy of the ancients, and dozens of templates are full. Some old things are badly damaged, so it's much easier to put plastic paper under them and then brush and hold them. Brothers who can't do this can do it.

She said that the most common way for them to make old ones is to use hazelnut shells, which is a secret recipe. Stop! The way the ancients processed paper, let's talk about the coating of the ancestors during the two kings! Coating, as the name implies, is to brush things on paper.

what is it? The ancients were too clever. They knew that rice paper was so powerful (in fact, it was much more cooked than the current rice paper) that they painted something on it. It turned out to be very simple, that is, they pasted the seams and holes of rice paper to prevent the water from spreading. This alone won't do. If you paint too much, it will be bumpy, which is not good for writing. What should you do? It's very simple. Press and wipe the paper with a smooth stone, and the paper will be smooth. The problem to be solved is just a few points.

But now, in order to save trouble, people like the junk of the factory, no matter how good or bad it is, and they proudly show it off-they all use Xuan paper to write calligraphy. Who knows, that junk is to raise their ancestors underground and give all the Xuan paper in the country, and they dare not write. The coating material used at that time was very simple, which was a mixture of flour, talcum powder and H2O.

when the sage writes, smell the paper in hand. Use the above method to process the coarse linen paper or Korean paper, and you can also do it in Niu Yi! You can try it if you don't believe it. It's not a legend.

The following will gradually introduce the different methods of paper processing in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, especially the unique skills of two masters (Mi and Dong). Interested brothers please post! Zhou Mi said in "The Collection of Miscellaneous Knowledge of Gui Xin": Young people in the right army use purple paper, middle-aged people use hemp paper, and Zhang Yongyi uses paper to make it beautiful and easy to write. Judging from this, people used smooth and fluent paper to write at that time, so that their pens floated.

Today, people often write with rough edges of hair, and they also call it practicing brushwork, but the right army avoids it. Are their men really unable to shout? I really don't know what kind of brushwork people practice today. In the Tang Dynasty, white linen paper was mostly used, which was calendered first and then pulped. If it was coated first and then calendered, the effect would be better.

Most of the Tang Moben left now are processed in this way first, and then the couch is made. I remember reading a book by a Japanese scholar a few years ago. He said that when you look at those originals with a high magnification magnifying glass, you can faintly see something white in the cracks in the ink. It should not be an empty statement.

It is also said that the ancients had the habit of folding paper into books. Because the paper became hard after processing, short lines were left at the folds, which was later quoted by a famous theorist in China. Piracy was used to talk about the creases in the two kings and the book spectrum. As a result, the Chinese people thought it was his discovery, and he was also complacent. It was really ridiculous. In the Tang dynasty, people copied the original works of the two kings, using hard yellow paper and waxing to make them translucent, and in the Song dynasty, people used bamboo paper to wax them.

it's similar to today's wax note. Xue Tao in the Tang Dynasty used hibiscus flower juice and cockscomb flower juice. If the color is peach blossom, there are also scarlet notes. You can try them.

The popular water-pattern paper first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, but there is no real thing. The earliest thing we can see is Li Jianzhong's famous "The Same Year's Post". Xie Gong's notes were made by Xie Jingchu in Song Dynasty, and they have many colors, which are greatly developed compared with the single red of Xue Tao's notes, and have the saying of "ten kinds of pretty notes".

this should be regarded as the originator of the four-color paper in the factory now. In fact, the paper we commonly use now was available in ancient times, but we didn't have it in ancient times. Why? Lost! Why is it lost? Technology has developed! Is it true that when technology develops, it will be deviant? That's right! Money is a mother. Now there are many people who want a mother instead of the bodhi old zu. If I open a paper factory, I will do the same.

if you want to surpass the ancients, you are delusional! Don't say anything about the atmosphere, environment, learning and education. We lost a lot just by saying the materials. With fertile land, there will be food, not how bold people are and how productive the land is! In fact, there are still many people who have this idea in our circle, and Dianshui is an example! When it comes to paper, apart from hard Huang Zhi, we can't help but say "Cheng Xin Tang Paper" and "Xuan De Paper". When it comes to paper processing, it's still brilliant! It's too late today, let's talk tomorrow! It depends on whether you follow the thread or not! Chengxintang, the place where Li Yu studied and worked, was dedicated to painting and calligraphy poems by the gifted scholar emperor.

One day, on a whim, the ministers were collectively laid off from their jobs at home, and several paper-making workers were found to start a paper-making business in the main hall. In the past, the place where nobles commented on state affairs became a paper-making workshop, and the registered trademark was called Chengxintang brand calligraphy and painting paper. Of course, this is just a legend, but it can be seen that this paper is precious, which was bought by the emperor's old son with his country! Shi Zai, this paper was produced by the official bureau set up by the late emperor, which was specially used by the emperor. If you are happy, you can give it to some obedient ministers, but the factory doesn't have it at all.

Later, when the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed by the Song Dynasty, imperial court officials and eunuchs stole some and sold them outside. The price should be quite high. In 975, when the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed, thousands of sheets were piled up in the corner of Neifu, and then disappeared.
