Chapter 393 Restoration of cultural relics
"Hey, Old Feng, put that painting on the drying rack, be careful..."

"Zhu Kai, move lightly. The quality of this row of brushes is not very good. If you move too hard, the paper will seep through."

"Mr. Hu, there is something wrong with the ratio of nitric acid, the concentration seems to be too high, please dilute it..."

In a room in the Palace Museum where no one is allowed to enter, Qin Feng was sweating profusely, giving instructions non-stop, and five or six people followed Qin Feng's order to deal with the matter at hand in an orderly manner.

It has been more than a month since the new year, and Qin Feng has also entered the role of cultural relic restoration. At the very beginning, those veteran restoration experts ignored Qin Feng because he was young.

However, after presiding over the restoration of an anonymous painting from the Song Dynasty, these people immediately changed their views on Qin Feng, because Qin Feng's restoration technology is even better than Qi Gong.

Although there are often conflicts in the academic world, for those who are really capable, those old scholars can still lower their figures. The teacher Hu commanded by Qin Feng is a descendant of Hu Mazi in Quancheng.

When it comes to the restoration of cultural relics, it is actually handed down in one continuous line with the antiques of cultural relics, and has a very long history.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there are stories about fake tripods in "Lushi Chunqiu. Shenjipian" and "Han Feizi Shuo Lin".

By the Tang Dynasty, copying of ancient calligraphy and paintings had already appeared, and by the Northern Song Dynasty, it had become very popular. In particular, there were many imitations of bronze wares.

After the Yuan Dynasty, due to years of wars, imitation was at a low ebb, and the workmanship was inferior to that of the Song Dynasty. However, private professional antique workshops appeared. Jiang Niangzi in Hangzhou, Wang Ji in Pingjiang Road and other folk workshops are quite famous for imitating ancient bronzes.

The imitation in the Ming Dynasty was not as good as that in the Song Dynasty. The folk workshops were mainly in the south of the Yangtze River. Most of the imitations were based on the "Archaeological Map" compiled by the Song Dynasty, and some bronze mirrors of the Han Dynasty and the sea animal grape mirrors of the Tang Dynasty were imitated. The workmanship is rough.

However, there were also antique products in the Ming Dynasty. The antique furnace cast in the Xuande period, also known as Xuande furnace, has many styles, is very exquisite and unique, and is famous for the ancient copper furnace imitated by Zhang Mingqi and others in Jiaxing.

In the Qing Dynasty, a hundred flowers bloomed, almost all ancient cultural relics were imitated, and a large number of professional antique masters appeared at the same time.

For example, Fan Shouxuan, Zhao Yunzhong, Wang Juchen, Li Yubin, Li Fentang, Hu Qianzhen, Pan Chenglin, Wang Hai, etc. in Beijing, and Hu Mazi and Hu Shichang in Jinan.

These highly skilled craftsmen brought out many apprentices, and gradually formed four major schools, which antique dealers called: Jing School, Su School, Wei School, and Chang'an School.

The Beijing school was founded by "Wai Zui Yu" from the Qing Palace Building Office. During the Revolution of [-], he went out of the palace to repair ancient utensils near the Qing Palace for a living, and he had seven disciples.

Some of the apprentices they taught during the Anti-Japanese War entered the museum after liberation and became the first generation of cultural relic restoration personnel in New China.

Su Pai is located in the south of the Yangtze River. Since Ming and Qing Dynasties, it has become a base for antique work. In the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, Zhou Meigu, Liu Junqing, Jiang Shengbao, Luo Qiyue, Jin Runsheng and other famous antique bronze craftsmen were famous at home and abroad. Today, it is the "South Pai". It represents that the cultural relics restoration field now takes Nanjing Museum and AH Provincial Museum as the source of the "Southern School".

The main body of the Wei school was formed in the Qianlong and Jiaqing periods of the Qing Dynasty, and it was quite large in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

As one of the areas with the largest number of ancient tombs, Chang'an has always been the most prosperous place for imitation of ancient times. Forged inscriptions on utensils began in Chang'an, mainly imitating weights and measures, including Su Yinian, Su Zhaonian brothers and Yan Yanzhang, etc. As a famous craftsman, it is also a school of its own in China.

The Hu Mazi mentioned above is famous at home and abroad for restoring bronze wares. The broken Zhongding Yi wares are completely intact once they pass through his hands, without any traces.

It's just that Hu Shichang, Hu Mazi's son, has a very mean and stingy temperament. He won the mantle of his father, but never passed it on to outsiders. When he died in his 40s, he was considered a master of art.

But that's just the record in "Folk Artist Record". In fact, Hu Shichang had a son, but when Hu Shichang passed away, his son was still young, and he didn't get his father's inheritance.

Hu Jiayan is the grandson of Hu Shichang. By chance, he discovered some notes left by his grandfather. Later, he was admitted to the History Department of Peking University and was hired as a researcher by the Palace Museum, which also did not insult his ancestor's reputation.

But such a character, in front of Qin Feng, is honest like a student.

Because it took Qin Feng only ten days to restore a golden Buddha made by the Qing Palace Building Office during the Yongzheng period that he hadn't succeeded in half a year. Even Hu Jiayan couldn't find any flaw.

"Okay, let's stop here today."

Qin Feng looked at the time, it was already past six o'clock in the evening, clapped his hands and said: "Zhu Kai, you can adjust the constant temperature to 24 degrees, and let the painting hang out overnight."

"I'm exhausted."

After hearing Qin Feng's words, Zhu Kai sat down on the chair, and the people beside him also breathed a sigh of relief. Although Qin Feng is not very old, he is definitely a workaholic. After working with him for a day, everyone will be happy. There is a feeling of collapse.

"Xiao Qin, how many drinks are you going to have? I still have a few questions I want to discuss with you..."

Putting down the test tube in his hand, Hu Jiayan came over. He is a veteran researcher. Except for the distribution of some chemical agents, which needs to be done by himself, other times, students will do it for him.

The antique industry is one of the oldest industries in China, and it has inherited many ancient disadvantages, such as passing on from son to daughter, and from disciple to son-in-law, which led to the loss of many unique skills.

But Qin Feng is not like this. While restoring the cultural relics, he generously passed on some of his unique secret recipes, always answering every question.

This is why working with Qin Feng is the most tiring, but everyone wants to join his group, even members of the domestic expert group like Hu Jiayan are no exception.

Another reason is that Qin Feng's group restored a lot of cultural relics, and received more funds from the special funds for restoration. After more than a month, none of the more than ten people in the restoration team received more than [-] yuan.

"Mr. Hu, let's forget it for now." Qin Feng shook his head and said, "I still have some things to do at home. I will invite you another day. I just got a bottle of 20-year-old Moutai..."

"Okay, Xiao Qin, you have to count on what you say, Lao Hu, I'm just waiting to drink your 20-year-old Moutai."

Hearing that Qin Feng had something to do, Hu Jiayan didn't force it, and left after cleaning up his mess, while Feng Yongkang and Zhu Kai came to Qin Feng's side, holding some things in Feng Yongkang's hands.

Feng Yongkang and Zhu Kai are only first-year students majoring in Archeology and Restoration at Beijing University, so they are not qualified to participate in this restoration project. They were called by Qin Feng to come here.

Qin Feng glanced left and right, lowered his voice, and said, "Let's go, my painting is about to be finished today, Lao Feng, have you brought your things?"

"Don't worry, it's already ready."

Feng Yongkang raised the things in his hand, they were doing the public service for their own benefit, they worked for the public during the day, and at night they used the public's materials to do their own business.

But for the huge Forbidden City, these materials are nothing at all. With these materials, Qin Feng has already repaired a calligraphy and painting in the secret room that was not seriously damaged.

The painting that Qin Feng is working on now is a complete imitation of Qiu Ying's landscape painting in the Ming Dynasty. He did the painting himself, and it is basically almost finished.

"Xiao Qin, it's so late to leave."

When the car drove out of the museum, the gate guard greeted Qin Feng, and Qin Feng threw a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes out, both of them were very happy.

"Qin Feng, this courtyard changes every day." Since Feng Yongkang and Zhu Kai didn't have to go back to Peking University to attend classes, they simply lived in Qin Feng's courtyard. Of course, the rent was not paid.

"Master Qin, are you back?" Wang Laoliu, who was painting the top of the garage door, saw Qin Feng's car driving in, jumped down from above, and moved the ladder out of the way.

After parking the car and getting off, Qin Feng said: "Old Wang, the work will almost be finished the day after tomorrow, you can ask Xie Xuan to pay the bill."

Wang Laoliu's face showed joy when he heard the words, and he said quickly: "Thank you, Master Qin, Master He is also urging me to start work, but don't worry, I will definitely finish the work here..."

The renovation of Qin Feng's courtyard house was not done by Wang Laoliu's family. Miao Liuzhi found four construction teams at the same time. Some were repairing the walls, and some were doing interior decoration. Several companies were working simultaneously, and the construction progress was very fast. .

Although the current courtyard house has not changed much from the outside, it has changed inside.

Not only are all the rooms in the courtyard equipped with air conditioners and underfloor heating, but the three yards at the front, middle and back, and the main rooms in each yard have been remodeled with toilets and shower rooms. Together.

Now there is only a small project in the front yard that has not been completed, but it does not affect the normal living of the courtyard.

Miao Liuzhi is also a person who knows how to live. He found a nanny in his 50s to cook for several people, and he carried the cage and walked the birds every day. He lived a very comfortable life.

"Brother Feng, "Yazhizhai" has closed down." Qin Feng was very busy during this time, and Xie Xuan had the opportunity to tell him something about the business only when he was eating.

The lawsuit with "Yazhizhai" is going on just as Qin Feng thought, both sides have ties, and in the end the relationship between the two sides is not to help each other. As a result, Fang Yazhi can't support it anymore.

The reason still lies in the funds. After the news of "Yazhizhai" selling fakes spread in the capital, "Yazhizhai"'s only century-old store in Liulichang has become empty, and you can only go in and out every day. .

Originally, Qin Feng hadn't settled the first jadeite payment with him. In addition, the second batch of payment was nearly ten million yuan, and Zhenyufang has been delaying it.

As a result, "Yazhi Zhai", which was short of funds, was panicked. In a month's time, almost half of the staff resigned from the shopkeeper to the shop assistant.

A week ago, Fang Yazhi went to "Zhenyufang" to ask for the arrears but failed, and after being ridiculed by Xie Xuan, he fainted immediately on the spot, and he still couldn't utter a complete sentence in the hospital until now .
