The road to becoming a god of Chinese scholars

Yu Juexiu said in the live broadcast the day before that he wanted to be a restorer, and the next day Director Huang contacted him and asked him to go to the Palace Museum to be an intern restorer.

Although he is only a trainee restorer, Yu Juexiu is still very happy.

Inviting Yu Juexiu to be a trainee restorer is not to question Yu Juexiu's restoration ability, but because Yu Juexiu has never restored any cultural relics before.In addition, cultural relics are very precious, and restorers must have excellent skills when restoring cultural relics.

After Yu Juexiu received a call from Director Huang, he immediately ran to the Palace Museum.

Under the introduction of curator Huang, Yu Juexiu met Wang Youping, a teacher in charge of restoring wood carvings in the Forbidden City.

The restoration work in the Palace Museum is divided into several categories, such as wood carvings, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, bronzes and many others.

Wang Youping is in charge of restoring woodcarvings. He has worked in the Palace Museum for 30 years and is the descendant of the third generation of woodcarving restorers.

There are thousands of woodcarving cultural relics in his hands, large and small.These cultural relics are as large as wooden Buddha statues and as small as a teacup.

Although Yu Juexiu is good at woodcarving, he is still a novice when it comes to the restoration of woodcarving cultural relics.Studying with Wang Youping will allow him to learn a lot.

Wang Youping is a fan of Yu Juexiu and watches his live broadcast every week.He had seen Yu Juexiu's wooden carvings of the Temple of Heaven and Buddha Nature on the live broadcast before, and felt that he was very talented, so he was very happy to teach him how to restore wooden cultural relics.

After Yu Juexiu and Wang Youping got to know each other briefly, they started working as an intern.In the beginning, it was impossible for him to repair Buddha statues directly. He repaired small things first, such as teacups, wooden bowls, teapots and other small things.

The small teacups or teapots in the Palace Museum are all royal or ancient aristocrats, and the wood used is either yew or rosewood.In addition to the very precious wood, the carving techniques on it are also very exquisite.

Restoring cultural relics is a very complicated job.Before restoring cultural relics, the cultural relics must be "cleaned" first, so that they can be properly restored.

Yu Juexiu is currently restoring the wooden tea set from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. This wooden tea set has a teapot and four cups.However, due to the age, both the teapot and teacups are damaged.The teapot not only had the handle broken off, it didn't even have the lid.For the other four cups, either there was a gap in the mouth of the cup, or there were cracks in the body of the teacup.

The aesthetic style of the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty was more elegant and generous, unlike the gaudy aesthetic style of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

When Yu Juexiu was studying furniture with Lu Ban, he had studied the furniture of the Qing Dynasty, and he knew the styles of each period of the Qing Dynasty very well.Therefore, it is not difficult for him to repair this set of tea sets.

He spent the whole day repairing the broken handle of the teapot and the chipped four cups.The rest is the teapot lid. The original teapot lid is gone, so a new teapot lid must be made.

In fact, it is not difficult to make a new teapot lid, but the difficulty is to match the original teapot.

"Xiaoyu, regarding the production of the teapot lid, you need to read the historical documents and find the tea set style in the Kangxi period." Wang Youping emphasized, "The teapot lid must match the teapot, because they are integral. If the teapot lid is not made to match the teapot, it fails."

"I understand, Teacher Wang."

"There are many documents about the Qing Dynasty in the library of the Palace Museum, you can look for them."

"Okay, I'll go now." Yu Juexiu said that the wind is the rain, and went to the library to search for documents from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.

Under the introduction of the library staff, Yu Juexiu borrowed several books.

Generally, books in the Palace Museum are not loaned out, but the restorer is not an outsider, so Yu Juexiu can lend them out.

As soon as Yu Juexiu got home, he was flipping through a few borrowed books and designing the teapot lid at the same time.

When Fu Jueheng came home, he saw Yu Juexiu sitting on the floor of the tool room, carving something in his hand.

"Is there a teapot lid?"

Yu Juexiu looked up at Fu Jueheng, raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly at him: "Brother Heng, you are back."

Fu Jueheng walked to Yu Juexiu's side and sat down in the empty seat beside him.

"Aren't you going to practice in the Palace Museum today? How about it?" After speaking, he leaned over and kissed Yu Juexiu on the lips.

Yu Juexiu returned it and bit Fu Jueheng's lips hard.

"It's very interesting. I restored a whole set of wooden tea sets today." Yu Juexiu said while lowering his head and carefully carving the teapot lid in his hand. "However, the teapot lid is missing, so I'm making the teapot lid now."

Seeing Yu Juexiu's gleaming face, Fu Jueheng smiled softly, "Are you really going to be a restorer?"

Yu Juexiu nodded and said, "That's right."

"Are you busy?" Fu Jueheng felt that Yu Juexiu was too busy just about the solar energy in-depth development experiment, and he was worried that Yu Juexiu was too busy with things. "You usually do experiments, how can you have time to work as a restorer in the Palace Museum?"

Yu Juexiu replied: "I use my free time to restore." He also knew in his heart that he was usually busy with experiments and didn't have much time to specialize in restoring cultural relics, so he could only use his spare time to repair. "So, I can only be a trainee restorer." Besides, the work of restoring cultural relics can exercise concentration and concentration, and can change thinking.

Fu Jueheng raised his hand and touched the back of Yu Juexiu's head, his eyes were full of distress: "I'm worried that you are usually busy with experimental work..." Sometimes Fu Jueheng would rather Yu Juexiu not be so smart or capable, so that he could Can have more time to rest.

"Brother Heng, it's okay." Yu Juexiu smiled reassuringly at Fu Jueheng, "It doesn't take any brains to restore cultural relics, and repairing cultural relics can exercise concentration. If I am tired from doing experiments, I can repair cultural relics to let my mind rest. .”

Seeing that Yu Juexiu liked it so much, Fu Jueheng naturally wouldn't object, so he had to let him go.

After Yu Juexiu finished carving a teapot lid, he handed it to Fu Jueheng, "Brother Heng, what do you think?"

Fu Jueheng reached out to take the teapot lid and looked at it, and found that the teapot lid was a bit like the roof of the Temple of Heaven.

"Why does this teapot cover look like the roof of the Temple of Heaven?"

"Brother Heng, you're right. I designed this one according to the roof of the Temple of Heaven." After Yu Juexiu finished speaking, he showed Fu Jueheng the teapot he had drawn, "This is a teapot. Look at the teapot lid I designed. Doesn't it go well with the teapot?"

The teapot in the painting is the kind of fat and chubby, with a lid similar to the teapot on the roof of the Temple of Heaven, which is very suitable, cute and dignified.

"Great fit, grandpa would love this type of teapot."

Hearing what Fu Jueheng said, a flash of light flashed in Yu Juexiu's mind, and he said with a smile: "Then I will carve a set for Grandpa, and a set for Uncle Fu and the others."

"No hurry, I'll do it when you have time..." Before Fu Jueheng could finish his words, he was thrown to the ground by Yu Juexiu.

Yu Juexiu lay on Fu Jueheng's body, buried his face deeply in Fu Jueheng's neck, and took several exaggerated deep breaths.

"Brother Heng, I'm tired, let me charge the battery for a while."

Fu Jueheng, who was regarded as a charger, smiled helplessly and dotingly on his face, hugged Yu Juexiu's waist with one hand, and raised his hand to touch the back of Yu Juexiu's head with the other.

After a while, Yu Juexiu became dishonest and began to recharge deeply.

Soon, an imaginative voice sounded in the tool room.

When Yu Juexiu finished charging, Fu Jueheng's charger was completely paralyzed.

Yu Juexiu took pictures of the teapot lid drawings he designed and the teapot lids he made, and sent them to Teacher Wang Youping.

Teacher Wang Youping saw the photo of the teapot lid similar to the roof of the Temple of Heaven sent by Yu Juexiu, and felt that it matched the teapot very well, and praised Yu Juexiu fiercely.

Yu Juexiu, who was praised, felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.Although it was only a small tea set, it was the first thing he repaired.The first cultural relic he restored was approved by the teacher, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

Next, Yu Juexiu carved Buddhist scriptures on the inner wall of the newly carved teapot lid.When he was repairing the teapot today, he found a few words engraved in the belly of the teapot.Later, it was discovered that it was a short passage in the Diamond Sutra.

He felt that there were Buddhist scriptures in the teapot's belly, so there should also be Buddhist scriptures in the inner wall of the teapot lid.Before, when he was learning how to carve furniture from Lu Ban, he discovered that the high-ranking officials and nobles in the Ming and Qing Dynasties especially liked Buddhist scriptures.They like to engrave Buddhist scriptures in daily necessities, such as tea sets, bowls and chopsticks, screens and so on.

After carving Buddhist scriptures on the inner wall of the teapot lid, Yu Juexiu then painted the teapot lid.

After he was done, he went back to his room to rest.

Early the next morning, Yu Juexiu went to send the finished teapot lid to the Forbidden City.

He put the finished teapot lid on the teapot, which fits very well, it can be said that it is completely one.

Director Huang and Wang Youping spoke highly of Yu Juexiu's restoration work.Curator Huang also sent Yu Juexiu's repaired tea set to the scarf, and of course there are photos before repair.

Netizens saw the photos posted on the official blog of the Palace Museum, and left messages praising Professor Yu's ingenuity.

[However, can Professor Yu be busy? 】

After Yu Juexiu repaired the tea set, he went to the experiment.Before leaving, however, he took a woodcut in need of restoration.

This woodcut painting is from the Ming Dynasty, and it is very damaged, but it can be vaguely seen as a picture of birthday worship.Coincidentally, when he was learning how to carve furniture with Lu Ban, he had carved pictures of birthday greetings.
