"These people are all full-time conservation personnel of our Jingzhou Cultural Protection Center."

Ronghua puffed up his chest proudly, pointed to the staff members who were peeling bamboo slips from the mud and said, "They are all young, and two of them only joined last year. ”

"Although they have not been exposed to any archaeology-related work before joining the company."

"But now they have all become the backbone of the Jane Restoration Room!"

Although some colleges and universities have opened a major in cultural relics restoration, the enrollment level is very worrying, and basically no one cares about it, and even most college entrance examination candidates do not know that there is such a major.

In fact, the Jingzhou Cultural Preservation Center, or most of the country's cultural relics restoration institutions, usually recruit people from the fields of chemistry, physics, biology, archaeology, museology, and fine arts.

Like the team that restored the painted lacquer coffin before, several people in it were born in the Academy of Fine Arts, responsible for painting, and plastering gold.

Mr. Fang Beisong, a leader in the field of simple bamboo restoration in China, also graduated from analytical chemistry.

There are very few people who have really graduated from the cultural relics restoration major and joined various cultural relics restoration institutions, and most of them are still in the Palace Museum.

"The cultural relics restorers in our center are all trained by themselves."

"Among the more than 60 skilled cultural preservation workers, more than 70% of the staff under the age of 40 are under, of which 30% are post-95s."

"We adopt a mentoring system to cultivate talents, and each department has a master and apprentice."

"Under the words and deeds of the master, the old will lead the new, so that the cultural preservation work can be passed on from generation to generation."

Ronghua is really proud that the Jingzhou Cultural Preservation Center can have a set of inheritance skills that are independent of other cultural relics restoration institutions and belong to Jingzhou, and carry them forward.

Modern Chinese cultural relics restoration technology did not appear in a vacuum.

The earliest was actually a group of cultural relics inherited during the Republic of China period "fakes" and restorers.

Although there is no such thing as cultural relics restoration in ancient China, there are indeed a group of people who have been studying how to restore cultural relics.

What is slightly disgraceful is that the goal of this group of people is to make fake antiques and make profits from the fake.

It's like the people who make fake certificates and print counterfeit money in modern society.

But it is undeniable that this group of counterfeiting masters, in order to be able to create enough fake cultural relics, their cultural relics "restoration" level is also very high.

The restoration and antique industry of cultural relics began to appear in the Spring and Autumn Period.

By the Tang Dynasty, there had been counterfeiting such as copying the calligraphy and paintings of predecessors.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, it has been extremely popular, especially the imitation of bronze ware, mostly in Shang, Zhou Zhen as the model, the shape of the vessel, the ornamentation is quite realistic.

Even many unearthed bronzes have been identified as imitations of the Song Dynasty...

And the development of the late Qing Dynasty, China's "cultural relics restoration" is in full bloom, almost all ancient cultural relics have imitation, and has formed four major factions, there are a large number of professional antique masters.

It was called the Beijing School, the Suzhou School, the WF School, and the Xi'an School by the antique dealers at that time.

Among them, the Beijing faction, mainly by the masters of the Qing Palace, after the Xinhai Revolution, left the palace to engage in the restoration of ancient artifacts near the Qing Palace.

Later, a group of apprentices they taught entered the Palace Museum after the founding of the People's Republic of China and became the first generation of professional cultural relics restorers.

Suzhou school, because Suzhou since the Ming and Qing dynasties, has become the base of antique operations, belongs to the deep heritage.

During the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, Suzhou's antique bronze craftsmen were famous at home and abroad!

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, these masters of the Suzhou School and their apprentices were soon recruited by some museums in the south of the Yangtze River, among which the Nanjing Museum ate the largest head.

Later, in the field of cultural relics restoration, the Nanjing Museum and the AH Museum were the sources of the "Southern School".

The WF faction was mainly flourished in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and later basically merged with the BJ faction, and belonged to the "Northern faction".

Not to mention the Xi'an faction, Xi'an, as a thousand-year-old capital, is the most professional in the pseudo-engraving of inscriptions on utensils, and the inscription fraud also began in Xi'an.

Later, he was naturally recruited by the museums in Shaanxi and the Central Plains, and became the first generation of professional cultural relics restorers in the Central Plains and Guanzhong regions.

Only, only the field of cultural relics restoration in Hunan and Hubei, that is, the Hubei Museum and the Jingzhou Cultural Protection Center, was created completely by their own ragged roads!

The restoration of lacquered wood in the Jingzhou Cultural Preservation Center was indeed learned from the Palace Museum at the beginning.

But soon, the people of Jingzhou relied on a large number of Chu Jane and lacquered wood unearthed in Hubei, and developed a cultural relics restoration technology based on modern scientific means.

Forcibly among the four major factions in China, the fifth road was opened, and it quickly reached the top, becoming the first bamboo slip repair technology in China and even in the world!

It firmly occupies the first hand in the restoration of simple bamboo slips and lacquered woodware, and sits firmly in the second place in the field of cultural relics restoration in China, only inferior to the Palace Museum Cultural Relics Hospital in terms of comprehensiveness in the field of restoration.

And all this, it has only taken more than 40 years, and it is no wonder that Ronghua is very proud.

"For the restoration and restoration of the slips, our Jingzhou Cultural Protection Center is the authority."

Ronghua raised his eyebrows proudly, pulled Chen Han closer to the blue water tanks filled with silt, and said, "These water-saturated bamboo slips should be extracted very, very carefully. ”

"Although it is still intact from the external type, the internal structure of the bamboo slips has been destroyed."

"And it's as soft as overcooked noodles, and it can break into several knots with a slight effort."

"When cleaning and peeling off these bamboo slips, everyone often jokes that you must not shake your hands."

"With this shaking hand, the number of national cultural relics has increased."

National Relics Added Again?

Chen Han was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood.

With a shake of the hand, a bamboo slip is broken into two, three, and this cultural relic has not increased!

This interesting statement made Chen Han laugh, and asked with a smile: "After that, after cleaning the bamboo slips out of the mud, what should I do next?" ”

Chen Han was very interested and didn't mention that he wanted to try it himself.

Or talk to the staff who are carefully stripping bamboo slips from the mud.

If you disturb them, and really increase the number of national relics, you will be sinners.

Anyway, on this visit, Chen Han made up his mind to only bring his mouth and not his hands.

I don't touch anything, I don't touch anything, and I only communicate with Ronghua.

Otherwise, if there is a slight mistake, it will not be good for the happy thing to become a bad thing.

Chen Han's cautious and sensible appearance also made Ronghua very satisfied.

Don't be careless, don't disturb the staff, this is a qualified practice for visitors.

"Next, of course, it's time to clean." Rong Hua grinned, pulled Chen Han out of the foul-smelling cubicle, and entered the large workshop of the Jian Mu Restoration Room.

In this large workshop, three or five blue-gloved staff members, holding wolf brushes, are busy with rectangular white boxes.
