The old professors were not surprised that Mao Yuning knew about the craftsmanship of indigo carving for intangible cultural heritage.

Intangible cultural heritage indigo engraving is a niche craft, and it is famous all over the world for its unique craftsmanship. Now, there are many intangible cultural heritage indigo engraving craft jewelry on the market.

Mao Yuning turned to Dean Ge again and asked him if there were any cultural relics unearthed similar to the burning blue engraving.

Dean Ge couldn't think about it. It was his assistant who reminded him, and then he remembered that there was an ancient bracelet with blue engraving, which was still stored in the safe in the central exhibition hall of the museum. He needed to go there in person. Pick.

When Dean Ge took the things over, many people were a little unsettled, muttering that it was not a matter of unlocking the door, why should they talk about repairing it.

Feeling: This senior member of M State Base cannot open the lock, so he can only show off his superficial knowledge to prevent himself from making a fool of himself?
Of course, those who have this idea are only auction houses and art workers.

Several professors at the museum, as well as several old restoration master professors, could all see at this time that Mao Yuning was serious and sincere. If she didn't have some clues, she wouldn't have made things so complicated.

Dean Ge quickly went to the safe in the exhibition hall and took out the burnt blue and chiseled ancient bracelet.

This bracelet was unearthed very recently, and the glaze on it is very new. Even if the bracelet is slightly deformed, it still does not affect its beauty.

Mao Yuning asked Dean Ge to put the bracelet on the tray and compare it with the box.

Two identical and similar craftsmanship, but predicted to be unearthed in different years, have different colors. Subtle differences can also be seen in the craftsmanship. The color glaze of the box is lighter, but the workmanship is more fine.

Several old restoration professors, including Dean Ge and the cultural relics professor, all looked at Mao Yuning, waiting for her next words.

After Mao Yuning carefully observed the object, he said: "This ancient craft, its color is formed through the chemical reaction of burnt blue stone, rather than dyeing chemical materials. It usually does not fade, but it will lose its color after being worn for a long time. Gloss."

"Look at the dragon pattern on the box. This half is the unrepaired colored glaze. The fineness of the glaze shows how complex the workmanship is."

Dean Ge and others nodded in agreement with her point of view.

But someone in the crowd couldn't help but say: "Can you tell me, does the exquisiteness of the craftsmanship have something to do with the purpose of your coming here today?"

His words were no longer subtle. The subtext that everyone could hear was that he was asking Mao Yuning whether he could open the lock. If he couldn't open the lock, don't waste everyone's time.

Mao Yuning's mind just now was on the object. When he heard the harsh sound, he looked up.

Wearing a mask, she narrowed her beautiful peach blossom eyes and said in a clear and calm voice: "Hello, I know exactly what I am doing here today."

"..."

Mao Yuning withdrew his gaze and returned to the tray. His gloved fingertips gently landed on the ancient bracelet, then crossed the dragon pattern on the small box, and finally touched the bright color, which was added by several restoration professors. He traced the traces on it and said, "When you repaired it, you didn't use the bluing process, did you?"

Several restoration professors nodded.

In the crowd, the person who had just been retorted by Mao Yuning spoke again: "Everyone knows that the bluing process requires a high temperature of more than 800 degrees. It takes several times of high temperature to produce colors that do not fade and are bright and bright."

This box is so valuable, how could it be reburned to repair the outer shell?

Mao Yuning ignored him this time. She didn't even look at him. She just looked at several restoration professors and said, "Is there any way to remove the raw materials you used?" Dean Ge and several professors from the museum, Instantly startled, they invited Mao Yuning over because they wanted to open the lock and go to the international exhibition hall to show the real machine lock.

Why hasn't the lock been opened yet, but the shell that has been repaired with great difficulty has to be re-opened?

This is to kill them.

Several restoration professors could hear what Mao Yuning meant. In order to protect cultural relics, they also spent a lot of time on restoration. These glazes look bright, but in fact they are not made of chemical raw materials, and it is not troublesome to remove them. .

Just do it, they quickly asked someone to get the tools.

Dean Ge hurriedly said: "This...it took everyone so long to repair it. How can you just wash it?"

He can still take it to the exhibition without opening the machine lock. If it is really washed and the lock cannot be opened, then he will definitely not be able to go.

A death order has been issued from above. This year, no matter what, we must take it out and 'appear' internationally, otherwise no one can afford the consequences.

There was no need for Mao Yuning to speak, but one of the restoration professors said, "Don't worry about this, Lao Ge. In the worst case, we will work overtime and make up for it again."

"Yes, it took so much effort at the beginning, but it was because of lack of experience. Now it is not difficult to repair it, but it is difficult to wash it off easily." Another professor, a restoration master, agreed.

Every cultural relic is very important from the time it is unearthed to its preservation. If it is not for the sake of completeness, the fewer traces left on the cultural relic, the better, so as to better reflect its unique sense of history.

The work of a restorer must be meticulous in order to balance the two aspects: restoring integrity while preserving historical traces.

Dean Ge: "..."

He looked at Mao Yuning in disbelief. How did she do it to make these old stubborns... say something like working overtime?

You must know that not long ago, when Country Y came to borrow people, they pretended to be sick, went on strike collectively, and just sent their own representative students.

Mao Yuning couldn't hear what Dean Ge was saying, but she knew that several restoration professors could hear her intentions.

After the raw materials were washed with special products, they returned to their original appearance. There are still faint traces of color underneath, very light.

Professor Xiu explained: "It was probably like this when it was unearthed. We repaired the colors based on these faint traces of background color, plus some historical data and cultural speculation."

Mao Yuning nodded, put the box back on the tray, and asked them to compare the three colors.

They are the burnt blue chiselled antique bracelet, the burnt blue chisel that has not been repaired on the carved dragon pattern on the small box, and the light color traces that have just been washed out.

"I guess these pastel traces are not blue engraving." Mao Yuning looked at the others and said.

Several restoration professors had already guessed Mao Yuning's intention and nodded without much surprise. In fact, their suspicion at that time was that the raw materials used in the two were different.

It's just that the traces of color glaze here are already very faint. They can only see it clearly with a magnifying glass. There are almost none, so they can't make a specific identification at all.
