Improper storage of calligraphy and painting is caused by various factors, such as temperature difference caused by seasonal change, unevenness of dry and wet, sunlight and ultraviolet radiation, pollution of ambient air dust, etc., resulting in moth eaten, mildew, fading and other phenomena, making a complete calligraphy and painting beyond recognition and losing its artistic value. If we understand the weakness that calligraphy and painting are easy to be damaged and take some effective preventive measures, we will delay the aging and damage process to a certain extent, so as to prolong the service life of calligraphy and painting and maintain its original appearance.

1、勤翻动常查看

1. Flip frequently and check frequently

放在箱、橱、柜内的字画除放药外，还要做到勤翻动，及时清 除不洁之物。每隔半年左右就要展开看看，特别是梅雨季节过去之后，能分批将字画取出来挂几天这称为“晾画”，这样能有用地防止字画生霉。

In addition to medicine, the calligraphy and paintings placed in boxes, cabinets and cabinets should be turned frequently to remove unclean things in time. It should be carried out every six months or so. Especially after the plum rain season, the calligraphy and painting can be taken out and hung in batches for a few days. This is called "painting drying", which can effectively prevent the calligraphy and painting from mildew.

2、控湿度防生霉

2. Humidity control and mildew prevention

霉菌在潮湿、温暖和黑暗条件下易繁殖，因此，字画的贮藏空间，温暖应保持在14℃~20℃左右，相对湿度在50~60%。因为室内相对湿度偏高，容易引起纸张受潮而滋长霉菌。而太干燥又容易引起字画的翘曲变脆，一般的家庭遇天气干燥时，可常用湿墩布拖地，或在房内放盆水，天气潮湿时，尤其在雨季，尽量少开窗户，这样可以使房间的湿度得到相应的控制。

Mold is easy to reproduce under wet, warm and dark conditions. Therefore, the storage space of calligraphy and painting should be kept at about 14 ℃ ~ 20 ℃ and the relative humidity should be 50 ~ 60%. Because the indoor relative humidity is high, it is easy to cause the paper to be damp and grow mold. If it is too dry, it is easy to cause the warpage and embrittlement of calligraphy and painting. When the weather is dry, ordinary families can often use wet mop to mop the floor, or put basin water in the room. When the weather is wet, especially in the rainy season, open fewer windows as far as possible, so that the humidity of the room can be controlled accordingly.

3、避直射轮流挂

3. Avoid direct sunlight and hang it in turn

长期悬挂在外面的字面，会受到太阳紫外线的辐射，使字画颜色褪淡，字迹模糊，发生纤维的老化、变脆。因此，一般不要将珍贵的字画长期地挂在厅室里，更不要挂在太阳能直射到的壁上。应挂一段时间再收藏起来，若字画数量多，则可以采取轮流悬挂的办法，这样做，既能展开收藏字画的不同风格，欣赏佳作，又能延缓老化变色过程。

The characters hung outside for a long time will be exposed to the ultraviolet radiation of the sun, which will fade the color of calligraphy and painting, blur the handwriting, and cause the aging and brittleness of fibers. Therefore, generally do not hang precious calligraphy and paintings in the hall for a long time, let alone on the wall directly exposed to solar energy. It should be hung for a period of time and then collected. If there are a large number of calligraphy and paintings, it can be hung in turn. In this way, it can not only expand the different styles of calligraphy and paintings, appreciate excellent works, but also delay the aging and discoloration process.

4、小尘埃易留斑

4. Small dust is easy to leave spots

尘埃也是字画的大敌之一。挂在墙上，或存放在箱、柜中的字画，同样会受到尘埃的影响，细小的尘埃沾在字画表面，遇到一定的湿度，它能成为不洁净的小颗粒，等小颗粒的水分蒸发，会在画面上留下斑点。

Dust is also one of the great enemies of calligraphy and painting. Calligraphy and paintings hung on the wall or stored in boxes and cabinets will also be affected by dust. When small dust sticks to the surface of calligraphy and paintings and meets a certain humidity, it can become unclean small particles. When the water of small particles evaporates, spots will be left on the picture.

5、多保护动作轻

5. Multi protection and light action

除此之外，对字画保护还应注意，在欣赏观看时，不要用手指指点点接触画面，唾沫沾染。展开和收卷时不要将画折坏留下折痕，因收藏的字画由于年久而变得较脆，容易弄折裂，所以一般不要随便动手，就是收、拿、卷、挂等动作，也一定要格外小心，做到轻手轻脚。

In addition, we should also pay attention to the protection of calligraphy and painting. When appreciating and watching, don't touch the picture with your fingers and saliva. When unfolding and winding, don't break the painting and leave creases. Because the collected calligraphy and paintings become brittle and easy to break due to age, generally don't do it casually. You must be extra careful in the actions of closing, taking, rolling and hanging.
