Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 554 Origin
"Don't worry about anything else." Director Yuan also saw the needles, "You have agreed that you will come to our Institute of Rare Books and Ancient Books Restoration after you enroll, and you will be able to come when the time comes!"

"Did I... did I promise?" Zhou Zhi was dumbfounded.

"This is the reward you deserve for donating the precious ancient book restoration paper to the institute." Director Yuan's tone seemed to be such an honor to be able to work in the ancient book restoration institute: "If I disagree, I'm afraid I'm innocent. Everyone will have an opinion!"

"Ah, no! I have no objection!" Gu Zhenduo didn't answer the question: "Let me tell you first, whether it's a part-time job in a museum or a research institute, the premise is that he has a chance after he has completed his studies... "

"That's it!" Director Yuan and Director Jiang seemed to have no worries about Zhou Zhi's ability to successfully complete his professional studies.

Gu Zhenduo: "..."

Director Jiang smiled and explained to Zhou Zhi some information given by the experts from the Bureau of Cultural Relics when they ordered the scrolls.

The seals on this painting, apart from Qing Qunyan, whom Zhou Zhi knew, and those that even experts couldn’t figure out, many of them were famous masters in the field of calligraphy and painting collection and painting in the late Qing Dynasty.

For example, Liuzhou, who was nominated and stamped on the painting, was a monk who spent his spare time in Buddhist scriptures and meditation. monk".

Liuzhou lived through the three dynasties of Qianlong, Jiaqing and Daoguang in his life, and he was at the peak of Qianjia Puxue, and it was also a period of unprecedented prosperity for Jinshixue.He is also good at poetry, painting, calligraphy, printing, bamboo carving, mounting, identifying ancient objects, repairing ancient utensils, and reading inscriptions. Not only is he rich in knowledge, but also in craftsmanship.

Using the knowledge he possessed, he created a new category of Chuantuo ancient bronze ware—full-shaped extension, which is truly unique.

Full-shaped rubbing is the most effective technique for preserving the full picture of utensils and artifacts and textual research in addition to copying the patterns of inscriptions and inscriptions. It uses ink and rice paper, supplemented by techniques such as sketching, painting, mounting, and paper-cutting. It is the three-dimensional effect graphics of utensils, so it is also called three-dimensional extension, utensil extension, and graphic extension.

After introducing those celebrities, Director Jiang said with a smile: "Your level, Elbow, is already good, but compared with those knowledgeable old experts, there is still a gap. You must continue to work hard."

"Well, I will definitely." Zhou Zhi took a painting and calligraphy appreciation class today. This kind of course is not easily taught by graduate students of Shu University, so he is naturally very happy.

But as Director Jiang said, if a scroll is appreciated in this way, the speed will be slow.

Too much to chew, Zhou Zhi would rather read one painting at a time than swallow it whole. In one day, he can only see six bright paintings. As for the rest of the calligraphy and painting of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou, we have to save them for later. up.

There are still many treasures in the town hall of the Shu University Museum. When everyone reunited, Zhou Zhi asked, "Shu Yi, what good things did you see?"

"There are so many good things." Jiang Shuyi said: "There are all kinds of jade, as well as the three-star picture of Fu Lu Shou embroidered in Sichuan, the picture of Magu offering birthday, and the picture of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea!"

After finishing speaking, she shook her head quietly: "But I can't draw it back for grandma."

Jiang Shuyi's interest in embroidery began by drawing embroidery samples for her grandmother, and then gradually started from the traditional patterns of Chinese civilization, and gradually became interested in embroidery, a traditional handicraft category.

"Even if you can draw it back, it's useless. Grandma doesn't have eyes like this, and she doesn't have this skill." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "If Grandma Yu is still downstairs, maybe she can embroider it."

"The statue of Avalokitesvara with Broken Arm is also pretty." Jiang Shuyi said, "County Tang said that it is our Eastern Venus."

"Oh, that's a great evaluation!" Zhou Zhi said, "Then I missed it today."

"This is not my evaluation," Ganniang said with a smile: "This is what Mr. Guo said when he saw the statue when he came to inspect the museum. He said that the statue was extremely exquisite, but unfortunately the broken arm was not found. Incomplete beauty can be called the 'Venus of China'."

Director Jiang said: "In July [-], the Xiaoxi River in Qionglai had a catastrophic flood, and many remnants of Buddhist stone carvings were washed out at that time. Cheng Enyuan, our former acting curator, spent more than a year alone by the river. Archaeological excavations have confirmed that there is the site of Longxing Temple in the Tang Dynasty."

"Afterwards, he brought back more than 300 cultural relics to the museum, the most exquisite of which is the [-]-meter-tall Tang Dynasty statue of Avalokitesvara with Broken Arms."

"Cheng Lao was the first student majoring in prehistoric archeology in the history department of Yenching University. His tutor was Pei Wenzhong, the scholar who discovered the Zhoukoudian BJ ape-man skull. He was the only official student, and Jia Lanpo was an auditor."

"That's great. The tutor's career was later inherited by the auditors." Zhou Zhi still knew about the relationship between Jia Lanpo and the BJ people's site in Zhoukoudian.

"Yes, after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese army occupied and closed Yanda. Cheng Enyuan left the school and went to Shudu to return to school. He was separated from Pei Wenzhong. His wish to be a graduate student of Mr. Pei could not be realized in the end."

"However, his achievements are not small, and like you, he has been smart since he was a child. The paper "Examination of the Literary Prison in the Kang, Yong, and Qian Dynasties of the Qing Dynasty" published in the "Mingxian Journal" in the second year of high school fully demonstrated his literary and historical skills."

Zhou Zhi was so frightened that he waved his hands again and again: "Mr. Jiang, you are just joking, but you dare not compare yourself with seniors."

Director Jiang said with a smile: "At that time, the statue of Avalokitesvara had been broken into three pieces, and both arms had been lost. Nevertheless, the restored statue still has a dignified face, gorgeous costumes, and a plump body. It is also very delicate. When Mr. Guo visited the museum in [-], he praised it as the 'Chinese Venus'. Gradually, it became the 'Oriental Venus' as everyone said."

"After the founding of New China, Cheng Enyuan stayed at the predecessor of our museum, the West China Museum, and continued to engage in archaeology and teaching. In [-], when the national departments were adjusted, he was transferred to Shu University along with the Huada Museum. May [-]th During his tenure as the acting curator in [-], the Shu University Museum was facing abolishment, and all collections were about to face the danger of being transferred by many institutions and academic research institutions.”

"It was Mr. Cheng who fought hard at the meeting to preserve our Shu University Museum and all its collections, and also enabled the West China Union University Museum, which was founded in [-], to continue. Today, our Shu University Museum To be able to stand at the top of all university museums in the country, and even enjoy a high reputation at home and abroad, Cheng Lao is the biggest contributor."

"The Tibetan exhibition I went to see is also very interesting." Brother Yoshi thought thoughtfully.

"What's the point?"

"After watching the exhibition, I suspect that Tibet is the origin of beeswax coral turquoise."

"Ah? Hahahaha..." Zhou Zhi couldn't help being amused, what the brother-in-law said was indeed reasonable, the Tibetan compatriots liked these three accessories the most.It can be imagined from the performance of the righteous brother that the ethnology exhibition hall should be full of these things.
