My system is not decent

The "Moiré Copper Forbidden" before and after restoration is a ruined lake.

And to restore a national treasure of this level, the craftsmanship must not be bad.

With Wang Chen's technology back then, it definitely wouldn't work.

Therefore, before repairing the moiré copper ban, it must take a certain amount of tempering.

This means that the function of Sui Hou's Pearl has become more powerful, otherwise Chen Wenzhe would not have seen what happened before the cloud-patterned copper ban was repaired.

It was 1979. Wang Chen, who had graduated from high school, entered the Nanhe Provincial Museum at that time, took over his father's class, and was engaged in the restoration of cultural relics.

But in Wang Chen's view, this cannot be regarded as a succession, at most it is just a replacement job.

Because in his mind, his professional ability at that time was far from that of his father.

At that time, he was still young and a little underwhelmed.

In the early 80s, Wang Changqing was hired back to his unit due to work needs and skilled skills.

One is to continue to do some work on restoring cultural relics, and the other is to give careful guidance to various cultural relics that Wang Chen is restoring.

As a father and master, his vision is always critical, and no mistakes can be made.

This is the old man's principle, and principles are not negotiable.

In January 1981, Wang Chen began to restore two of the seven "Prince Wu Ding" among the seven heavy bronze vessels unearthed from the Spring and Autumn Chu Tomb in Xichuanxia Temple, Nanhe Province.

During the restoration process, after one of the "Prince Wuding" was repaired and supplemented, it was necessary to carry out decoration and engraving on the supplemented new copper piece.

Because the ornamentation was too cumbersome and absent-minded, it broke the carved ornamentation on the accessories, which made Wang Changqing very dissatisfied.

According to the old rules, let him stand in the corner and remake the broken decoration.

At that time, he was in his 20s and was no longer a child, but he was punished to stand like a child.

I didn't quite understand it at the time, but I gradually understood it later.

The restoration of cultural relics must not be sloppy, and a little negligence may cause irreparable losses to the cultural relics being restored.

The old man hates iron but not steel, but this kind of strictness is very beneficial to his growth and skill training.

The restoration experience of "Prince Wuding" has tempered Wang Chen's skills and made Wang Chen's cultural relics restoration skills more and more exquisite.

Soon he was working with his father to restore a large cultural relic.

This is also the restoration of the moiré copper ban, and in this process, more techniques can be learned.

In October 1981, the Nanhe Museum organized staff to restore the Spring and Autumn "Cloud-patterned Bronze Ban" unearthed from the Chu tomb at Xiasi Temple in Xichuan, Henan Province.

The cloud pattern copper ban is a bronze sacrificial vessel, such a heavy vessel must be repaired, no matter how difficult it is, it must be repaired.

When the "Moiré Copper Ban" was transported to the restoration room, it was packed in two sacks.

When I opened the sack, I was really taken aback.

The forbidden body was broken into more than ten large pieces, and the panel was severely deformed, and countless moiré patterns were peeled off and missing.

The 12 dragon-shaped beasts and 12 seat beasts not only escaped from the forbidden body, but most of them were incomplete.

In general understanding, the restoration of cultural relics means repairing and repairing, and the large framework of cultural relics should still be there, but the cloud-patterned copper bar in front of us can only be described as broken.

Faced with such a pile of fragments, Mr. Wang Changqing and Wang Chen carefully compared the forbidden sections.

The copper stalk and the ballast mouth were docked, and the positions of the attached beast and the seated beast were carefully observed and analyzed.

They figured out all the structures and casting methods before starting the restoration.

They used various restoration methods such as shaping, strengthening, withering plaster samples, filling in vacancies, chiseling, welding, casting, bonding, coloring, and rusting.

In the end, it took nearly four years to complete the restoration of the "Moire Copper Ban".

In September 1984, the "cloud-patterned copper ban" was finally presented to the world in its original form.

After it was repaired, it is now a rectangular shape with a length of 124 cm, a width of 68.3 cm, a height of 29.5 cm, and a weight of 191 catties.

And in such a large size, there are layers of hollow decorations.

In particular, there is a plane in the middle, and the periphery of the plane and the body are composed of hollowed out and coiled moiré patterns.

Finally, there are 12 monsters with heads raised, tongues out, chests out, and waists under the device.

The body is decorated with 12 dragon-shaped monsters with protruding tongues, curving bodies and curly tails, and climbing walls, forming a scene of dragons guarding the body.

The "Moiré Copper Ban" is cast by the lost wax process, and inside the surface of the vessel, four layers of copper stalks of different thicknesses are used to reinforce the support.

This is the earliest lost-wax process casting seen in our country so far.

The unearthed "cloud pattern copper ban" has pushed forward the history of my country's lost wax casting process by 1100 years.

On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Nanhe Museum, experts unanimously recommended that the "cloud-patterned copper ban" has become one of the "nine town treasures" of the Henan Museum.

During those few years, Wang Changqing and his son often forgot the time to get off work.

Sometimes when the "Moire Copper Forbidden" is being restored to a critical point, the father and son will stay in the restoration room for a day.

Bring lunch from home in the morning, and have lunch in the restoration room.

My father usually walks to and from get off work by himself, but in winter Wang Chen has to take him to and from get off work by bicycle.

Because Mr. Wang suffers from filial piety and asthma, what he fears most is winter.

Sometimes Wang Chen also persuaded his father to rest for a few days, but his father always said it was fine.

Whenever Wang Chen recalls this past event, he always respects his father's work attitude.

Therefore, Mr. Wang's seriousness and dedication to the restoration of cultural relics deeply influenced Wang Chen.

Like their older generation, the greatest wish is to have successors.

As the saying goes, "If you don't have diamonds, don't do porcelain work."

The work process of cultural relics restoration is complex, with high technical requirements and quite difficult.

Take the restoration of the "Chonghuanwen" bronze unearthed in the Spring and Autumn Period as an example. It took many procedures to complete the restoration.

Such as broken ballast cleaning, plastic surgery, plate making and mold turning, filling parts, grinding curium mouth, and copper curium production are all essential.

Afterwards, welding, flux cleaning, rust removal, caulking and grinding, internal gluing, decoration drawing, pattern chiseling, glue removal, cleaning, coloring, rusting, etc. are required, a total of 17 procedures.

If you encounter objects with more serious incomplete deformation, such as gilt and silver, gilt inlaid with turquoise, interlaced gold and silver threads and gold and silver sheets, lacquer inlaid gold and silver threads and gold and silver sheets, copper inlaid copper, and turquoise inlaid utensils, etc., you will need more than 20 to 30 pieces. Road procedure.

Compared with the restoration experts of the older generation, the restoration of cultural relics now uses high technology, such as machine derusting.

Through retrospect, Chen Wenzhe really learned a lot, such as using some modern tools.

There is no way to do this, after all, modern tools are easier to use.

In addition, there are quite a few staff members involved in the restoration of bronze ware. With so many people, there is always a division of labor.

He could see all kinds of small machines with strange shapes in the cabinet of the workbench during the restoration work.

For example, there is a medical dental scaler, which is divided into two types: flat head and pointed head.

The flat head can be used to shovel off large areas of patina, and the pointed one can remove rust in the decorative seams.
