Body 160 Old and New
"The things were broken this afternoon, which is the responsibility of our warehouse management, and it is also my mismanagement, and it has nothing to do with you. But as soon as you stretch out your hand to repair, you take the burden upon yourself. ”
Ding Ling held the tea, his tone was sincere, and every word was from the bottom of his heart.
"It's fixed, what if it's not fixed? What if there's something else going on with this? If you stretch out your hand, you're probably going to be in troubled water." ”
Xu Wen didn't expect to hear such words, and was silent for a while, unable to say anything.
Ding Ling thought that he couldn't accept it because he was young, and then said: "Of course, you repaired the stakeout today and helped my brother a lot, and I am sincerely grateful to my brother." But in the field of cultural relics, the water is so muddy that many things can't be calculated according to common sense. You have to be careful when you're in it. ”
Xu Wen took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions surging in his heart, and nodded: "Well, thank you, Brother Ding, I know." ”
Ding Ling stared at him for a long time, confirming that he really knew, leaned back, and laughed.
"When you Brother Ding was your age, his ability was not as big as yours, and he didn't understand how to fart, so he really suffered a lot of losses. What I told you is a lesson from my own losses. In Capital, it is said that for the sake of 100 percent profit, it dares to trample on all human laws, and with 300 percent of the profit, it dares to commit any crime, even the danger of hanging. Cultural relics, looking inconspicuous, the profit is more than a hundred times a thousand times?"
The fragrance of Longjing tea was overflowing, lingering in the air, and there was a cluster of orchids in the corner of the house quietly blooming, and the fragrance of orchids and tea surrounded Ding Ling's faint words, making the bitter smile and self-deprecation on his face clearer.
At this time, the waiter came in to serve the food, and Ding Ling got up to greet him politely, and his expression was just a flash.
When he sat down, Xu Wen stood up with a teacup and said sincerely, "Brother Ding, thank you very much." ”
He wasn't an ivory tower kid who hadn't done anything before, so he knew very well how rare Ding Ling's words were. Maybe he said this for the sake of Luo Yifan's face, but this has already been said, and he is taking him as his own.
Ding Ling grinned, he also picked up the cup and gestured to Xu Wen, and ate Xu Wen's cup of salute with tea instead of wine, and then Zhang Luo said: "Eat, eat, this shredded herring is different from others, it is very tender." ”
The three people present were all in the same line, eating and drinking, and the topic inevitably revolved around this matter.
"Xiao Xu and Luo Lao know each other, is it a matter of the transmission committee?" Ding Ling had already changed his wine, and he wanted Xu Wen to come too, Xu Wen said that the master didn't let him drink, and he still drank Longjing.
"Yes, what is my old man busy with besides this now?" Luo Yifan said with a smile.
"Hundred Arts Collection or Thousands of Secret Records?" Ding Ling is also quite familiar with the affairs of the Communication Committee.
"Hundred Arts Collection. Luo Yifan didn't speak, but still asked Xu to answer by himself.
“...... It's hard to come by. Ding Ling's eyes widened instantly, and he said after a while.
Then he picked up the cup to Luo Yifan again, and said with a smile: "Old Luo, look ......."
"Don't you look down on folk skills?" Luo Yifan didn't answer his words at all, and said with a glare.
"How dare I look down on it!" Ding Ling cried out.
Luo Yifan looked at him with a sneer, but he didn't say anything.
"I really can't look down on it. Luo Lao, you know, the first to support the professional restoration of museums are not college students from any academic class, but those traditional masters. Ding Ling explained helplessly.
"Without these masters, there would be no current conservation industry, it's true. But some of it is really ......."
Ding Ling shook his head and gave an example.
Wanyuan Museum has a microblog, which often publishes some information and popular science knowledge.
Once they posted a video of the restoration of a cultural relic, and the restoration was a porcelain cup. At that time, a small thin porcelain cup was broken into more than 300 pieces, and it was quite difficult to restore, and the museum displayed them as an achievement.
As a result, a non-governmental organization came to the door, saying that the glue they repaired was not used correctly, and they had to use another conventional material for folk restoration. That material lasts longer and is stronger, and the repaired cup will work properly without leaking.
At first, the museum was patiently explaining.
Of course, they know that there is a stronger adhesive, which is more common for industrial use. They chose that because of today's restoration requirements – all foreign attachments for restoration must not be permanent, and there must be a way to strip them away, leaving only the original part of the artifact.
The kind of glue commonly used by the folk may be more practical in terms of function, but in modern terms, it is no longer in line with the concept of cultural relics restoration.
The museum explained very patiently and carefully, but they just didn't listen, and there was no logic at all, and they didn't explain it at all, so they just insisted on their own set.
Later, the museum was a little anxious, and it was only after private contact that the matter was settled.
Since then, Ding Ling has some prejudice against the folk restoration industry as a whole.
"This is also ......" In this industry, Luo Yifan has certainly heard of this matter, but the specific details are really unclear. After listening to Ding Ling's words, he was silent for a long time, and he didn't know how to continue.
"In fact, the essence is the difference in concepts, but things are constantly moving forward, the technology and concept of modern cultural relics restoration have changed greatly, how can we keep it in place......?
"After a long time, you will find that the mentality of the really top characters is quite tolerant, but half a bucket of water has a special sense of superiority. Luo Yifan actually has a lot of feelings in this regard.
The two looked at each other speechlessly and toasted each other with a glass of wine.
"The concept of modern cultural relics restoration...... What is it like?" Xu Wen listened to beside him, and suddenly asked.
"This question...... It's a little complicated to explain. Ding Ling said.
The concept of conservation that is popular today is actually imported from the West, based on the Venice Charter.
The full name of the Venice Charter is the International Charter for the Protection of Historic Buildings and Historic Sites, which was formulated in 1964 and is the first international principle for the protection of heritage buildings and historic sites.
Its fundamental core is "authenticity", and many subsequent details are built on this core.
For example, the requirement of "restorable" mentioned by Ding Ling before exists in order to protect the original part of the cultural relics.
Now at the dinner table, Ding Ling couldn't say too much, so he only casually introduced it, so he raised his glass to Xu Wen with a smile: "Actually, if you have time, I suggest that you study something related to the restoration of modern cultural relics, as a supplement to what you have learned." ”
As he spoke, he took out a business card from his pocket, "Luo Lao's connections in this area are not inferior to me, but I still have the cheekiness to introduce you to it." ”
He put the business card on the table and pushed it to Xu Wen, "Wanyuan University has some courses and lectures in this area, you can pay attention to it." If you are interested, you can go to the audit, and this person can help you contact me and report my name. ”
"Thank you so much. Xu Wen said sincerely.
He used to read some books on his own, but self-study is definitely not the same as listening to an expert.
Ding Ling smiled and raised his glass to him, and the two of them drank the wine or tea in the cup together, everything was silent.
