Chapter 1792 Explanation
Luo Qianhe was a member of the National Cultural Relics Appraisal Team back then. He was a great boss. With the level of Mr. Wang and Mr. Qi, they were just ordinary members of the appraisal team back then. Even the team leader couldn't make it, which shows how high the standards of the appraisal team back then were.
But the others were even more surprised by the level of thoughtfulness. He was able to chat and laugh with Lao Luo at such a young age, and he seemed to take care of a lot of business. He could tell the age of Wuwen Ru Kiln at a glance. That was not the case. The average person can do it.
The so-called patternless Ru kiln is a special variety among Ru kilns. The most prominent feature of Ru kiln is the openings. The gold and iron wires are covered with cicada wings and fish roe. A pair of smooth and unopening ones pop up suddenly. Most people will intuit that they are newly made or made in modern times. And it's a substandard imitation.
Throwing aside the most obvious features of Ru kiln and studying its age, Luo Qianhe is not an expert in porcelain. Even many connoisseurs who specialize in porcelain are confused when they see such a "weird thing". Don't dare to judge easily.
This requires extremely strong professional knowledge, extremely high vision, and extremely strong self-confidence.
The National Treasure Gang of later generations is actually only short of the first two.
After explaining how the two met, it was Luo Qianhe's turn to raise his doubts: "Why did Lao Xu say that you painted this painting? We have been dating for so long, and I have never heard you mention it. "Ah?"
"Old Xu, you have turned a deaf ear to things outside the window after you retired." Xu Bangda said with a smile: "I went to South Korea to practice the calligraphy of the old president of Samsung." You know, right? It's the job that Zhuzi found for me."
"Zhouzi has restored a lot of famous paintings in recent years. Our Rongbaozhai painting "The Deer Ape" is so dark and sober. The reason why the painting was in ruins was that Jiuzi used the lost method of "burning lead with fire" to re-burn out the lead white and restore the style of the famous painting. It is a magical skill!"
"There are also six hand scrolls from Prince Chun that were traded from the Fujita Art Museum." Mr. Qi nodded: "Those six hand scrolls include three on paper and three on silk. When the six hand scrolls are completed, the skill of the elbow is considered to be the best in the country."< br>
Although it is said to be the best in the country, it is actually the best in the world. After all, the only talented people who can restore Chinese calligraphy and painting outside of China are Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan. And among these three places, except Taiwan, which is better, the rest are basically not enough to see.
However, there is no end to any knowledge. Zhou Zhi quickly waved his hand: "I feel that I am still far behind. Every time I study and practice, I gain a lot of experience, which in itself shows that there is still a lot of room for improvement..."< br>
“Let’s do this, elbow Come and tell us about the restoration of these paintings." Xu Bangda said with a smile: "I will also learn from you."
"Mr. : "I should learn more from you."
"No, no, no." Xu Bangda said: "Our Beigong repair work is not the same as yours. Repairing things from the Ming and Qing dynasties can be said to be on par, but we have to go further and repair things from the Tang, Song and even the Six Dynasties. Things, I really need to learn more from you.”
“We are all acquaintances. There’s no need to be too polite.” Chen Shizhong himself is also an expert in the appraisal and restoration of calligraphy and painting, and he has already been itching: “Tell us about it quickly. The restoration of silk scrolls from the Six Dynasties and Song Dynasties has always been a big problem, and it is also a rare opportunity for restorers. . ”
“Yes, let me tell you about it. In academics, one must do one's best." Mr. Wang also encouraged: "You don't want to wait for us to applaud you?"
"No, no, no..." Zhou Zhizhen was frightened: "Then I will do it this time. Let me tell you about the repair process, including some problems encountered and solutions adopted. If If there is something inappropriate, I hope you will give me some advice. ""We have adopted a new method for this painting repair, which is to restore the original silk brocade to the greatest extent possible. This work is still in progress in Jiachuan. The origin can be traced back to the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.”
"Song brocade patterns are the most repetitive and gorgeous. It is a pity that after the continuous wars in the late Song Dynasty, Song brocade declined like Song porcelain, and it did not recover even after the Ming dynasty."
"Until the Kangxi period, some brocade weaving artists inadvertently collected Song-mounted "Chun "Hua Ge Tie" ten pieces, on which twenty-two Song brocade patterns were uncovered. After research and imitation, they were finally restored, making the Qing brocade as prosperous as the Song Dynasty."
"To this day, the Qing brocade is as prosperous as the Song. The ancient brocade Baotou used in calligraphy and painting can only be purple luan magpie brocade, inverted fairy peony brocade, and purple hundred flowers dragon brocade. , persimmon red turtle-back brocade, Fang Shenglian magpie brocade, Bada halo brocade, silver hook halo brocade, etc., although they were made in the Qing Dynasty, as long as the patterns are retro, they are collectively referred to as 'Song style'."
"Always. It was not until the Qianlong period that Gusu weaving began to make special brocades for Qing palace calligraphy and painting hand scrolls, and even began to Copying the "Kesi works" of the Song Dynasty, the decoration of calligraphy and painting once again reached a new peak."
"However, after experiencing the social turmoil in modern times, these damask brocade craftsmanship was finally restored during the Qianlong Dynasty and became outstanding. , lost again.”
"Until the year before last, we cooperated with Master Yang, the inheritor of Shu embroidery, and used modern computer technology to study the surviving Song-style brocades. Through the program, we can more conveniently reproduce the 'flower book' required for the brocade, and use a jacquard machine to restore it. "Qianlong and Song Dynasty" was released. "
"There is also a search for cooperation. The silk used is also key." Mr. Wang said: "This problem has only been solved recently, so we finally no longer need to use ancient silk to repair important silk cultural relics."
"Yes, these are the basis." Zhou Zhi said: "In the past, many people did not dare to enter the Song Dynasty brocade, Qianlong Song Dynasty brocade, and ancient silk. Now we dare to try it boldly on new imitation samples.”
“These technological attempts are mainly focused on dip dyeing, distressing, and imitation, especially the use of glue on silk in the Ming Dynasty. Alum caused the alum to corrode silk, and later it was said that "silk cannot last more than a hundred years" . ”
“In order to achieve the appropriate degree of blending, the Ming Dynasty began to carry out more mature and convenient processing of silk from raw to cooked, which generally required three glues and nine alums, or even more times, alum material on paper. The damage to the book is limited, but the damage to the silk book is often irreversible.”
"Unfortunately, we have not solved this problem until now. I think the best way now is to use the restored antique silk and damask brocade to organize calligraphy and painting masters to restore the original works to perfection." Zhou Zhi said: "We will When it comes to external exhibitions, these replicas will be the main ones. Until there is a perfect way to protect and restore the originals... it would be better to seal them up and keep them."
After saying this, he couldn't help but smile to himself: "That's a long way to go. Far away, we Let’s go back to the restoration of these four paintings. Because of the reasons just mentioned, the restoration of silk paintings before the Ming Dynasty is actually easier than the restoration after the Ming Dynasty. It is the same as the paper processing, no alum is used, but starch is used. Glue..."
Then we entered the formal explanation. For the restoration of silk scrolls before the Ming Dynasty, let alone ordinary museums, even units such as the National Palace Museum and the National Museum are not common. After all, the calligraphy and painting of the Song Dynasty and previous ones are not available in the world. It's really too little.
So Zhou Zhi restored four paintings at once and made a lot of progress. Everyone benefited a lot from the explanation.
