The history of Chinese painting and calligraphy mounting can date back to the Warring States period [475-221 BC]. This unique craftsmanship saw its heydays in theSong Dynasty [960-1279AD], thanks to the prosperous silk industry of the time. Moreover, Emperor Huizong, a great painter and calligrapher, was particularly fond of mounting, which gave rise to the development of the craftsmanship. Many master artists, like Mi Fu, Su Shi and Wang Shen, mounted artworks by themselves, brining prosperity to this traditional skill.
