Riding the wind of rebirth

As he spoke, he began to spray water on the ancient paintings: "Actually, the materials used to restore ancient calligraphy and paintings are very simple, mainly water, paste, and paper. The rest is technique and patience."

"The moth-eaten and broken places need to be repaired and glued together, and the materials used should preferably be the same as the original ones."

"These pictures are made from imitation Akihito paper made by Emperor Qianlong, which is very precious. We worked hard to get dozens of pictures from the Forbidden City, and we didn't dare to waste any of them."

After spraying the water, Zhou Zhi began to cut out small strips and pieces of paper from the newly obtained Mingren Palace paper according to the size of the wound on the painting heart according to the damage of the painting heart. Heart.

This is a complicated and meticulous work. Before gluing, it is necessary to clarify the fiber direction of the paper and the direction of the pen and ink lines, so that there can be no misalignment. The missing lines need to be filled in the mind to connect them.

This is actually a process of analysis. After the repair is completed later, the missing part is filled with pen and ink according to the painting, and finally it can be repaired to a perfect and new level.

Of course, this is for the calligraphy and painting of the Qing Dynasty. If it was before the Ming Dynasty, most restorers paid attention to "repairing the old as the old", and often deliberately left some harmless damage and stains in order to preserve the "ancient meaning" of calligraphy and painting. "Are.

At the beginning, Zhou Zhi also introduced the restoration techniques and process to everyone. As he continued to work, he gradually calmed down and became more focused.

He is very dexterous in his hands and feet, holding a brush in his right hand at the same time. He is extremely skilled in adjusting the width of seams and drawing fragments with bamboo sticks and brushes, and he is also quick, accurate and ruthless in applying repair materials.

When any craft is improved to a certain level, it must bring people a pleasing aesthetic feeling.

This is true even if you are manure the crops.

Today's Zhou Zhi has almost reached the level of "nothing else but familiarity" in "The Oil Seller".

Soon, this round of repairs on the four ancient paintings came to an end. The cute timer on the table "clicked" and the sound was very soft, but it was enough to wake everyone up from the "immersive viewing".

"Yuan Suo, these are all classmates of our class." Zhou Zhi raised his head: "They are all curious about the restoration work of ancient books, so I will take them to have a look."

Only then did everyone realize that there was an elegant lady with white hair in a white coat beside her.

"Hi everyone." Director Yuan smiled, his voice was very soft: "Welcome everyone, our ancient book restoration department needs restoration talents like elbow, if you are interested in this, we are very welcome."

Li Yijia has an active and lively personality. He was too involved just now and didn't feel it. Now he feels that his heart is really weak and his breathing is a little tight. He stuck out his tongue: "This work is too tiring, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."

When she said this, everyone felt this way, yes, why did they suddenly feel a little tired after standing here and watching their elbows work without doing anything?

"Is it the first time for you to see this kind of work?" Director Yuan said with a smile: "In the beginning, I was really not used to it, but it will be fine after a long time."

While everyone was chatting, Zhou Zhi had already finished the last bit of work, and put the big wooden board back on the wall: "Look, Director Yuan, Qianlong imitated the original Ming Ren Tang paper."

"Thanks to you." Director Yuan smiled and said, "I can't rely on me. There are probably more Qianlong paintings waiting to be repaired in the Forbidden City than us."

"We are also the first of the country." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "It's all the top stuff, and not all the paintings of the Qianlong Dynasty can be judged, so there is no need to be humble."

Li Yijia looked at the four patched paintings on the wall, and couldn't see any good places at all, which could surprise Director Yuan like looking at a treasure.

Zhou Zhi explained: "Two processes have just been completed. What you are seeing now is the back side. Afterwards, it will be framed, uncovered, repaired with pen and ink, and finally remounted into a book. There is still a lot of work to do."

"However, the most basic work has been completed now, and this step of work can determine the restoration height that can be achieved in the future. Director Yuan is happy with this, isn't it, Director?"

"Yes." Director Yuan said with a smile: "Now it seems that the restored "Complete Map of Bashu" can almost reach the original original, except for the unavoidable aging, it is no different from the paper back manuscript when it was first created."

Everyone was also ignorant, completely unaware of the high evaluation of Director Yuan's words.

After bidding farewell to Director Yuan, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they came out of the repair station.

Zhang Qianyi's first sentence was: "This work-study program is not easy."

Li Dongping also felt concerned: "I didn't feel it when I saw it, but I only found out when the strange alarm clock rang, and it almost suffocated me."

"But I think the work of Elbow is quite great." Li Yijia thought that the man who was so focused to the extreme was so handsome, and she was fascinated by Zhou Zhi just now.

But now I am a little worried: "What if I damage the painting? How much will I have to pay for it?"

"It's not about money." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "For example, reselling national first-class cultural relics is a particularly serious crime, and the minimum court sentence must be more than five years."

"The "Complete Map of Bashu" is an orphan product, and there is no way to measure it by price. If it is damaged, the score will be subjective or objective, depending on the degree of damage, and there are rules for repairing it."

"It's so scary, so taking us to visit today is already a violation of the regulations?" Tong Xiaolin stuck out her tongue: "I even got caught by Director Yuan."

"Theoretically, it is indeed against the rules." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "However, I have already mentioned this matter to Director Yuan. The restoration of ancient books cannot rely on limited strength. We should mobilize all who can be mobilized. If you are interested in this, we should all welcome everyone to learn more about it. Maybe we can find more like-minded people?"

"Therefore, I suggested to Director Yuan to set up a semi-open work space with large glass windows, and to hold an 'open day' similar to the White House tour, to show the specific restoration work to curious people. Some attention, some hobbies, and some common sense are all good.”

Zhang Qianyi said: "It turns out that our school still has so many mysterious places. We didn't know about it before, and we don't have much reputation outside."

"You are too underestimated in our school. There are 14 animal specimens here, 80 plant specimens, and more than 8 humanities items," Zhou Zhi said, "including Sanxingdui cultural relics, Qiong Kiln cultural relics, Tang Dynasty Longxing Temple cultural relics, They were all first discovered and researched by scholars from Shu University, and there are also Qing Dynasty folk products series, Sichuan silk products series, and Tibetan cultural relics series, which are very impressive."

After speaking, he suddenly stopped in his tracks: "I think Shu University should have a serious museum..."

No?That's not a problem. With my current strength, I can donate one.

If you don't want to be conspicuous, you have the confidence to invite a group of people to "join the grand event". (end of this chapter)
